SAYS FOREST DEPLETION
INCREASES LUMBER COST
Secretary Meredith Also Attributes
High Price of Print Paper
Largely to That Cause.

high cost of lumber and news print
IS due in no small measure to using
up of the forests east of the great
plains. according to a letter from
secretary Meredith of the Department
OF Agriculture. which was laid before
the Senate last night 1t contained a
report by the forest service on timber
depletion. and the information was
furnished in response to a resolution
introduced by Senator Capper.
Scarcity of timber in the eastern
states is by no means the only cause
Of high prices" said Secretary Mere
dith- "Fores; products have shared
in the wave of inflated values. An
auction lumber market would have
resulted in any event from the sud
den release of pent-up demands for
housing and industrial material at a
time when lumber stocks were short
and the sawmills unable to respond
rapidly with increased production.
But the facts remain that three f1fths
of the original timber of the United
States is gone: that we are using
timber four times as fast we are
growing it. and that nearly two
thirds of the timber left is west of
the great plains. where its available
ity to the average user is greatly
lessened"
The forest service estimates that
2.215.ooo.ooo feet of timber is left in
the United States. Nevertheless. the
bulk of its population and industries
are handicapped by the exhaustion of
the forest regions which formerly
supplied them. New England has one
eighth of her original timber. New
York manufacturers about one-tenth
of the lumber required by her own
population. The present lumber cut
of Pennsylvania is less than the
amount consumed in the Pittsburgh
district alone. The states on the
great lakes. which for thirty years
supplied most of the eastern and CEN
trail regions with softwood lumber.
now cut less than one-eighth OF their
former production. and are them
selves importing softwoods from the
Pacific coast. The cut of southern
pine. the standard lumber of the east
for the last fifteen years. is now fall
ing off. Within a. decade it will not
exceed the requirements of the south
itself
To meet this situation the Secretary
recommends an enlargement Of the
national forests on a wide scale, a
comprehensive survey of the forest
resources of the United States, and a
national policy of reforestation.

RETAIN WHEAT STANDARDS.
Secretary Meredith Continues the
Present Federal Gradiups.

Continuation of present federal
wheat standards has been decided
upon by Secretary Meredith of the
Department of Agriculture, in an
opinion covering hearings held re-
Gently. Requests for lowering the
present standards, the Secretary an
nounced, would tend to decrease the
return to farmers, while advocates
of the change argued that the pro-
ducer would receive more money for
his wheat.

Secretary Daniels. in letters to the

has recommended the appointment of
joint congressional and naval COM
mittee to investigate the Navy's fu-
ture oil supply and report at the De-
cember session of Congress.
1t is held by the Secretary that this
question is of transcendent impor-
tance and that oil-burning battle
ships are essential for the highest
naval efficiency and that reversion
to coal burners would be such a step
backward it 'ought not to be even

ST0CKMAN WANTS
LATAH COUNTY FAIR
]. F. PAPINEAU TELLS OF DIS
APPOINTMENT OVER FAIL
URE TO HAVE ONE.

Much disappointment is expressed
here by livestock men because OF the
failure to have a county fair at Mos
cow this wear. Latah county has ad-
ded much to its purebred livestock
during the past year and breeders
had hoped to have fair to stimulate
interest in better livestock. j. F.
Papineau. who came here last fall
from Minnesota and bought 436 acres
of land five miles from Moscow and
shipped out lot of purebred, regis
tered Shorthorn cattle and Chester
White hogs, said
'sIt has been a keen disappointment
to breeders of purebred stock that
no fair is held here this year. Palouse
Troy and many smaller places are
holding fairs. / located near Mos

this being the county seat and much
larger town / thought we. would have
advantages here we would not have
in these smaller places. | am going
to take my stock to Troy and prob
ably to Palouse, and will show at
Lewiston and Spokane and Portland.

with liberal premiums for livestock if
the breeding of purebred stock here
is to be encouraged. Nothing stimu-
lates interest in purebred stock more
than good fair with plenty of COM
petition.
Mr.. Papineau is much pleased with
his change of location from Mime
sofa to Idaho. He sold land in Min
nesota for $165 per acre and bought |
what he says is much better land
here, for $115 and has been offered
a substantial advance on that, but |
does not care to sell. He has 40 |
acres in corn which he plans to put
nto silo which has just been com
oleted, and he sold 1000 bushels of
bulk wheat for $2.12 per bushel, and
las more than 1000 bushels left for
which he was offered $2.25 yesterday.
He is fitting up number of ami
nails from his herds to show at the
Spokane, Lewiston and Portland
livestock shows and will take few
o the community fairs to be held in
latah county, Idaho and Whitman
ounty, Washington.

MORE IRRIGATION

COX FAyORS USING
APPROPRIATIONS : TO RE-
CLAIM WESTERN LANDS.


Arguments in behalf of the League
of Nations adapted to affairs of the

tial candidate. He outlined what he
declared were practical material ben
efits to flow from the league in ad-
dition to other interests.
at has recently been figured" said
the governor, that the coat of one
battleship would reclaim two million
acres of land.
Multiply this by forty eight, the
number of states, adopting the plan
of one battleship for each state and
you have a staggering total, and, if
properly applied, the answer to the
problem of housing in our cities, the
answer to the question of increased
production for sustenance of human
life. The expenditure required in
total would reclaim 100000 square
miles of waste. 1t would build ten
permanently paved arteries entirely
across the United States.
"Think of this in terms of recla-
nation of arid and waste lands, if
you WILL and think what it would
mean to have one million men, exclu-
sive of the thousands required in
shipyards and ammunition plants.
turning their activities to the produc-
ton of the necessaries of life, rather
than to employment in the creation
of agencies for the destruction of
life"
The governors speech here after
few rear platform addresses enroute,
opened the final day of his Montana
campaign He came here today
from Great Falls and was scheduled
to speak late today at Anaconda and
at Butte tonight.
In discussing reclamation the gov
ernor also declared against "our pres
ent ill-considered system of recla-
nation projects.
"What we need" he added, sis a
defininte program fitted into a defi-
mite business administration by which
the protential reclamation of the land
may be surveyed and a program ad-
be added for public use a definite
number of acres, under such provis-
ions as will mean the early enlarge
nent of reclaimed acreage and pro-
luction."
Urging the league, Governor Cox
sold his Helena audience that the
United States is looked upon "as a
nation of cutters, self prosperous
md self-satisfied, while our associ-
ties as we'll as our enemies in Europe
ire starving to DEATH"
"America cannot enter into the
period of prosperity to which we are
he said, until the doubt
md distrust and the growing hatred
lgainst US, created by the apostles
# hate in the senatorial oligarchy,
lave been removed"
Governor Cox also inveighed
!gainst a separate peace with Ger
many and urged world disarmment.
Republican financing and the "sen-
torial oligarchy," also came in for
nore criticism and the candidate re-
terated his preachments of progress
S against reactionaryism.

and the work it will do, was given out
by Mr. Hanley:
"Actuated by sincere desire to
utilize the services of the Salvation
Army wherever possible and to fur
ther the Army's work in Latah coun-
ty, a strong advisory board, which
will direct the administration of the
Salvation Army's sixteen major acti-
vities so far as they are applicable
to the needs of the county, was form
ed at meeting at Moscow on Wed

vities can be disposed of speedily and
The board will be of valuable as
sistance to the Salvation Army and

" with particular reference to pow
srty, pauperism, dependent cases, un-

and, in fact, all of the conditions for
which the Salvation Army has proved |
constructive remedy.
