INCREASED SALE. RESOURCES
 FORESTS

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 28.-The sale of resources from the National forests in California totaled $143, ,123.- 80 in November of this year as against $sk215.O2 for November, 1916, an in erease of s145, ,90S7s, according to an announcement by the forest service here The figures show net receipts.
 The big receipts are said by the forest service to be due to the enor- nous increase in all sorts of building and the increase in grazing areas. The timber sales alone amounted to 0,1380S since June 31 as against $S4,004.11 for the same period last years. Twenty-Five per cent of these receipts are given to the state for road work and school maintenance in the national forest areas. An addition al ten per cent goes for road and trail construction by the government.
 The sale of timber in the national forests is so regulated that there is absolutely no deforestation. Certain trees are marked for cutting by eX- perts of the forest service, and the timber interests can take no other. The trees that are cut are replaced by others, thus perpetuating the forests.
