In another column will be
found an article from the asses
sor Of Polk county with regard
to Q county timber cruise. Now
we believe in a county cruise.
but do not think that Lincoln
county can afford to have its
timber cruised now as it would
place a heavy expense on the
already overburdened tax payer.
We are having a survey of the
bar made and should it prove
favorably to US, and we hope it
will, we will then need some au-
thenic figures on how much
timber we have here in Lincoln
county. We are going to ask
our Uncle Sam to help us dig out
this bar and he is going to want
to know about the amount OF
timber we will have to ship. For
this reason We believe it well
for the people of Lincoln county
to begin to look into this matter,
and be ready to take decisive
action when the time comes.
