Logged Off Land Conference to

A logged-offland conference, not

winter, under the auspices of the Sc
attic Chamber of Commerce, TO bring
together the men who have themselves
dug out stumps and those who are
now planning to reclaim land from
former forested state. Mr.. Dan Bass,
chairman of the logged-off-land CON-
mittee, is a native of this side of the
state of Washington and has had the
experience which comes to every set
tier in this timbered country. He grew
up amid stumps on farm that was
itself grubbed out by hand in the early
days and since that time has often
cleared land himself.
I'VE want to find out just how much
it is costing to put this land under
cultivation and whether the men are
making any money on it, said Mr..
Bass, in discussing the coming con-

not an investment but a loan was a
point that was brought out by prac'
tically every speaker. The results OF
reclamation from the standpoint OF
increased crops and higher land values
were emphasized and instance after
instance cited of where the money for
the project had been more than re-
funded to the country that gave it.
Large Returns On the investment
The production of the projects con-
structed and owned by the United
States amounted last year to more
than SS0000,000, or about two-thirds
of the entire amount invested in the
irrigation works according to Arthur
p. Davis, director of the reclamation
service. He said that the average re-
turns per acre for the entire country
last year was S35 an acre while that
of irrigated lands was SOS an acre.
That he believed certainly justified the
investment.
The Yakima project was reviewed
by John w. Summers, of Walla Walla,
congressman from the fourth district
That district embraces 100000 acres,
he said, which last year brought in a
cash return of more than s50,000,000
at the same time supporting popula
ton of more than 10000 prosperous
farmers who are buying freely.

Senator Jones said he believed that
il the people of the northwest would
get together on a definite concrete
plan for land reclamation il could be
put through congress. However. he
said that the representatives and sen
ators from the northwestern states
would have to bury their personal an

he had the assurance from the law
makers at Washington that they

students get back on the campus this
week to register for the fall quarter
they will find one more of the new
buildings of the Liberal Arts quad
rangle ready for occupancy, the new
Philosophy Hall which forms a corner
on the west end of the quad with Com
merce Hall. The new hall has been
built at an expense of $4,000 and is
similar in design and size to the first
building put up on the quadrangle, the
domestic science building, which cost
s150,000 in 1915. The members Of the
board of regents hesitated to go ahead
with the construction at so much
greater cost, but were faced with the
large numbers of new students and
the need of floor space and finally de.
cided to build.
Philosophy Hall will add approx
mately $4,000 square feet of floor

floors will be divided up among the

PRICE OF CABLE AND POWDER
HANDlcAPS LAND CLEARING

Extensive clearing of logged-off land
has been handicapped since the begin
ming of the war by the same things
that have injured other branches of
human endeavor-the cost of materi-
ais and labor. During the war and
since the cost of all kinds of cable and
logging machinery have almost been
prohibitive for the clearing that was
being done by real estate companies
