NATIONAL FOREST TIMBER
SALES DOUBLE 1916 RECORD
Oregon Leads All Other States for
1917; Total of s3.TI5,OO0 Made
From Government Land.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.--Sales of
national forest timber In the fiscal
year 1917 were more than double
those of 1916, according to the an
nual report of the forester. The total
amount sold exceeded 1000. 900, 900
feet and is valued at more than s3,-
$4,000. During the same period
about 72T,000,000 feet were cut and
removed. for which the. purchasers
paid S1,507.303 into the federal treas
ury. The largest sales were made IN
Oregon. where about 6SS, 200, 600
board feet were disposed Of
In addition to the timber sold. ap-
proximately 100000 hoard feet
valued at almost $4,000 was cut
under free use permit by more than
i1,000 settlers living near the ma
tional forests and depending on the
forests for firewood and building ma
terial to improve their homesteud.
The tfnber business on the eastern
purchase areas, while still small as
compared with tho western forests
showed a decided Increase, the report
states More than three times as
much timber was sold and more than
twice as much cut as In 1916. The
material disposed of. II is pointed out,
is largely OF poor quality and its re-
moNal will improve the forest growth.

Of the shore places which are natur-
ally at this time the. center of bath

spread infection has been recognized,
IL not thoroughly understood. Doc
tors report that patients for the most
part will complain of sharp pain in the
ear and examination will show the

The trouble has BEEN found to pre-

water condition. The very recent
appearance Of the trouble has pre-

from giving the disease more than
