STATE CHIEF FORESTER
IS PROPOSAL

Idaho will have a chief forest
er to check over and supervise
the logging of timber on state
lands after it is sold either to
corporations or individuals, if a
bill now being drafted by Captain
w. r. Cupp, recently retired as
a recruiting officer for the Sec
and Idaho national guard, to be
presented to the next legislature,
is passed and approved. Cap
tain Cupp believes that this state
is in need of a statute designat-
ing the state land commissioner
as chief forester and that the
state is entitled to the protection
OF its timber through the duties
the proposed bill clothes him
with. While the measure is still
in the rough and will have to be
polished into form, the general
purposes are set forth.
Under the present system of
selling timber on state lands,
Captain Cupp says he has found
on ivestigation sufficient protec-
ton is not given the younger
timber after logging operations
start. This is one of the pri-
mary reasons why he decided to
draft a measure that will place
certain safeguards around the
timber. He says he has discOv-
cred that after logging operations
start a lot of young timber is
ruined by either being cut or
damaged to such an extent as to
make it useless.
The measure he has drafted
proposes. to give the state land
board general supervision over
the chief forester, and as this Of
fetal is designated as the state
land commissioner, a new official
is not added to the states pay
roll The land commissioner is
at present under the supervision
Of the land board. When state
timber is sold, the measure pro-
vides, it shall become the duty OF
thee hief forester to see that the
logging operations are so carried
on by the purchaser as not to in
jure the younger and unmarked
able timber. Other duties fol
the chief forester include refor-
estratiOn which is to be carried
on extensively over the state.

NOT ENOUGH MONEY TO
SEND REPRESENTATIVE

Boise, No. l6.=The public util
tiles is without funds to send
representative to Washington TO
be present when argument is
heard on the refrigerator case.
and because of that fact a move
ment is now under way on The
part of local and southern Idaho
shippers to raise money with
which to meet the expenses. The
argument is to take place Dec. 9.
The appropriation allowed to
the public utilities commission
by the last legislature was limit
ed and in the past few months it
has been running short. When
the refrigerator rate case was
heard here before an examiner
and evidence together with briefs
was issued it was supposed that
there would be no further argu-
ment. However, the interstate
commerce commission has per-
mitted such an argument and no
tilted the public utilities commits
sion of the fact. Investigation
of The commissions funds finds
them low and for that reason the
money to pay the expenses Of a
representative to go to Washing
ton cannot be realized out of the
appropriation.
