oEMURRERs SUSTAINED
IN BIG DAMAGE SUITS
Union School Furnishing Co., of Chi
cago VS. Members County School
Board and J. G. Galiemore

Some years ago a hot controversy
came up between the members of the
0unty Board of Public Instruction of
Polk County and Supt w. l.. Clifton.
Details are pretty generally known
over South Florida. This resulted in
the School Furnishing Company bring
ing damage suit Of $4,000 against
each of the said members, Gen. Law
and Messrs. Murrell and Keen A
separate suit was entered against J.
q. Gallemore, editor OF the Polk Coun-
ty Record, for publishing a certain ar
ticle connected with the controversy.
Col H. K. Olliphant, attorney for
these gentlemen has been In charge
since the suits were entered and he
was notified yestrday by tn U. s. Dis.
trict Court of Southern District OF
Florida that Judge Call had sustained
the demurrer filed for defendants by
Mr.. Olliphant. II would seem that
this ruling virtually does away with
three suits against Law, Murrell,

stand of young timber from which no
immediate returns can be expected,
others have a large amount of mer-
chantable timber.
All Of the lands bought are capable
of producing valuable crops Of timber.
During the fiscal year 1919 receipts
for timber sold from the area then ac-
quired-1 BAT $50 acres amounted to
$71,942 under conservative method OF
cutting practised by the Government.
The timber that was sold was very
largely salvage, and 1t is expected that
the returns from timber sales will
steadily increase.
In addition to the financial return,
the establishment of National Forests
results in decided benefit to navi-
gable streams through the modifying
influence of the forest cover on erO-
sion, according to the report. 1t states
that the newly created forests are be-
ing widely used for recreation by res
idents of the nearby cities and that
they are meeting other important
economic needs. Watersheds which
supply domestic water to seventeen
municipalities are owned in while or
in part by the Government. In addi-
tion, twenty-nine municipalities Sc.
cure their water supply from lands
which have not yet been acquired but
which are located within the forests.
Government control assures the san
itatiOn of such watersheds without in
terfering with the use of the land for
timber-producing purposes.

Progress of Purchase of Eastern Ma
tiOnal Forests" This commission is
the body authorized to pass on tim
berand purchases made under the
Weeks Law and is composed of the
Secretaries of Agriculture, Interior
and War, and four members of the
Congress.
"rhe supply Of spruce in the East
ern United States available for paper

cation states Eastern building ma.
terial is no longer adequate fully to
meet industrial demands, the future
supply Of hardwoods is threatened
and will not be sufficient, unless
prompt measures are taken for main.

wood forests.
The situation can be helped mater
tally, says the report, by arranging
that lands not suitable for agriculture
of which there are 10000 900 acres
in the Eastern Mountain-shall be
used for growing timber. OF this
3O,OOO,OOO acres approximately lSOO,-
600 acres have been purchased by the
