to Avoid Train at Crossing.
Lansdale, Pa, Aug: 1S.-"Running
the machine into the ditch saved my
life," said pretty Bulah w. Emmert,
after she was pulled from the wreck
of an automobile at Kruup's crossing
on the Reading road here.
Miss Emmert, who was the only oc-
cupant of the machine, said when she
reached the Krupp crossing, north of
Iansdale, a train was approaching,
and she had to head for the ditch,
instead of following the road, which
turns after the tracks are crossed.
The train was an extra freight on the
north-bound track. Miss Emmert says
she heard no warning gong at the
crossing and saw no watchman. She
was plunged against the steering gear
when the machine crashed into the
bank and is bruised, but otherwise is
not injured.

 DEVELOP PMENT
 OF RESOURCES
New Forester Would Have Resources Used Now and Not Locked Up and
 Waste in IdIeneSS

"Co-operat1on with the people in the development of Alaska is the policy which I hope to be able to follow in office here," said c. H Flory, who recently succeeded w. G.
 Weigle as Chief Forester for this Territory, while in Juneau. Thus conservation is use of the resources
 without waste" said MT. Flory, and not the locking of them up in reser- vations or having them so bound by restrictions that they lie idle and thus waste" He wants the resources of Alaska to be set to work Mir. Flory is greatly interested in the development of pulp and paper mills in southeastern Alaska. He says this is the last great field for the paper-making industry, and he believes that the forests of this istered, if capital to build the mills can be secured, that paper making will become permanent industry here He believes the timber can be so cut and used that it will suppl,
 an enormous industry without depict ing the supply.
 "One man cannot handle this mat
 ter alone" said Mir. Flory, but 0pere must be complete cooperation aMong all the officials and between them and the people if the best results in development are to be secured" Mr. Flory is making thorough in vestigation of the timber and other resources and conditions of the mat ters and things that have been placed under his direction. He purposes to visit all the canneries, logging camps and other activities within the Ma tional Forest, and to make a study that will add to information regard ing the extent and value of the re sources.
 Cruising Timber.
 The forestry service is gradually cruising the timber and making in vestigations and records concerning the water powers and other resources of the Tongass National Forest for the purpose of being able to give information wherever that may be needed in order to encourage devel- opment.
