montana TIMBER
At RECORD PRICES
SEVEN DOLLARS PER THOUSAND
FEET STUMPAGE PAID FOR
GOVERNMENT TIMBER

MISSOULA, MOnt-The forest serv-
ice has closed a deal for the sale OF
lumber, which sets new records re-
ceived from this source, reflecting the
increase in lumber prices which has
become noticeable during the last four
years.
Two million feet of white pine, the
most valuable timber in the district,
has been sold on a stumpage basis,
the successful bidder, the Boards
more Lumber company of Priest river,
paying 81 per thousand feet for the
lumber, which is located in the Kani-
ksu forest.
The high price is partly due to the
fact that the stands sold are easily
accessible and afford an excellent
logging chance, as far as cutting,
hauling and driving are concerned.
The best prices received for white
pine in this region in past years has
been from SO to $5 thousand feet,
and the bid submitted indicates, in
the opinion of forestry officials, that
future sales will bring even higher
prices.
Lumber in general has advanced 81
per cent since 1913, according to fig
ures compiled by the service, while SO
other commodities have increased ap-
proximately 127 per cent since that
time. Since 1916 the advance has been
about 23 per cent Lumber operations
in Montana totaled less in 1918 than
the previous year by about 100000
feet, reports show, accounting partly
for the increase in cost:

FLOATING ISLAND

STRANGE PHENOMENA WORRIES

TO ANCHOR IT DOWN

TWIN LAKES, Ida.-I. D. Meikle
c. A. Neafus and parties from the
Jesuit college were on the upper lake
looking after their interests regard
ing the floating island. This island
of about six acres, broke loose from
the main land during the spring OF
1918, and after floating around sew
eraI weeks grounded at the isthmus
where it RENAMED until the hard wind
storm and high water last week loos-
ened it. 1t is now several rods from
the shore.
1t is composed of a spongy accumu-
Iation of rich soil and roots, capable
of holding considerable weight, and
is covered with a fine grade of spag-
mum moss, also a rank growth of cat
tails, willows and many other varie-
ties of small shrubbery, quite tropical
in appearance, and is a menace to
property owners on both lakes, should
it lodge on private beach or float
into the channel.
Efforts will be made to dispose OF
it before the water recedes to the
ordinary level.

WINTER WHEAT CROP
OUTLOOK IS GOOD
NEWSPAPER WRITER REPORTS
FINE CONDITIONS IN POR-
TIONS OF LATAH COUNTY

JULIAETTA. = Especial Core
spOndence of The Tribune. LAST
week the travelling representative of
The Tribune made the trip from Juli-
aetta to Genesee and Uniontown via
Fix ridge.
On one of the farms belonging to
the John P Vollmer estate, on Fix
ridge, that is being farmed by Walter
Clark, one of the most successful
farmers of the Juliaetta section, there
is now field of fall wheat that for
uniformity of stand, healthiness of
color and general physical condition,
is doubtless one of the best fields of
wheat to be found in Latah county,
and by including all of North Idaho in
not be taking in too much territory.
Mr.. Clark was just finishing the job
Of uprooting an old orchard of fruit
Clark stated that, although he re-
ceived $28 per ton for his prunes de-
livered to the railroad, yet his receipts
were $28 less than the cost of hand
ling the entire crop. So he figured
that it doesn't pay. He will put the
land in grair-, which he figures will
be profitable.
Robert Hall, another successful
farmer on Fix ridge, was running a
spring toothed harrow over his alf-
alta field. By experience nearly all
the farmers have learned that it pays
to cultivate" their alfalfa each
spring, though opinions differ as to
the implement that produces the best
results.
Fall grain in general is looking
well throughout the territory covered
by the writer last week, though it
was noticeable that some of the steep
hill land had washed considerably. In
some fall wheat fields it was noticed
that a crust had formed on the top
of the soil and some farmers were
relieving this condition by going over
it with drag harrow.
Many banks of unmelted snow,
from huge drifts of the winter, were
observable from the highways, but
heavy rain and wind storm developed
night and continued most
of Friday. The roads were made so
muddy and slippery that all autos
were put out Of commission tempo
rarily and only one or two teams were

But ths rain no doubt proved bene-
ficial by softening the hard crust in
The grain fields as well as furnishing
4 moist bed for the spring sown grain.

Two Flu Flags Up.

DR.. w. A. Adair, city health officer,
reports two influenza flags put up
yesterday, one at Snyder's, 224 As
bury street, and another just outside
of town. DR.. Adair says people must
not get careless because of warm
weather for the danger is not past.
He read from the government health
reports that influenza has increased
in the past week in Arkansas, Cali
fornia, Connecticut, Kansas, Louisi-
ana, Maine, Oregon, Vermont and
Washington. 1t will be noted that
two of these, Louisiana and Califor-
MIA, are southern states with mild CHI
mates.
