SALE
 IN ALASKA

Information has just been given out by the District Forester's office at Portland of the immediate advcr- Using for sale of 100,000,OO0 board feet of pulp wood in Alaska. The tim Der to be advertised for sale covers 10000 acres on Port SnettiSham and Glass Peninsula, in the Tongass Ma tional Forest, in southeast Alaska. The timber is Sitka spruce, western red cedar, Alaska cedar, and western hemlock, all suitable for paper pulp.
 Forest Examiner B. r. Heintz'e- man, from the District Forester's of flee in Portland, recently left for Alaska, where he will remain all sum- mer examining this and other bodies of timber, and forest officers predict unusual timber activity in Alaska from now on.
 In giving out this information As- sistant District Forester Ames empha- sized the point that the Forest Service is now, as it has always been, extrem- ely anxious to see the resources of the Alaskan National Forests developed n every legitimate way, and especial V that the National Forests may play their part in helping relieve the pres- ent acute shortage of news-print pa- per. Mir. Ames states that there have been sold during past ten years 42o million feet of timber from the Alas kan National Forests, and that 1t IS his belief that this proposed pulp wood sale is simply the beginning of extensive timber and water power de- velopment in Alaska which is sure to follow. and in which the Forest Ser vice will do it's utmost to help along.
 According to Forest Service esti' mates there are not less than 100000 900 cords of pulp wood in the National Forests of Alaska, and forest officers say that if this is cut under proper methods that there could be an annu- al ,ut of two million cords, or enough to supply at least one third of the present consumption of pulp wood in the United States.

U. s. SHIP SALE TERMS
 ARE SET BY COMMITTEE

WASHINGTON, May 26- Present costs of production rather than or iginal costs should determine the shipping boards prices for its var built tonnage, in the opinion of the committee of business men appointed by chairman Benson to suggest terms of sale for the vessels owned by the board.
 The committee which was named after conference of business men here last month has submitted a re- port which asserts that as the ships owned by the board were built as q war measure, under war conditions with attendant abnormal costs and as a new industry had to be built up as war necessity, "the abnormal cost should be absorbed as war waste and prices should be fixed upon the basis of present prices for reproduc- ton, considering both foreign and do- mestic production costs"
 Stability Imperative
 "The prices should be determined, the report adds, "in a manner to assure stability, either by fixing prices for ships of given types and tonnage. which could be maintained over a period sufficiently long to give buyers the assurance that after they had contracted for the purchase ot ships they will not be placed at a disadvantage by subsequent re- duction in prices, or by fixing prces with definite period, such protection to consist of an arrangement under careful safeguards for price readjust- ment should it subsequently, prove necessary or desirable for the ship ping board to reduce prices"
 Easy Terms Are Urged
 Taking up the question of terms the committee recommended that ten per cent cash be payable on the delivery of the ships with additional payments to be due at the rate of five percent semi-annually for three years and the balance in twelve yearly installments of five per cent each. Title would pass to the pur- chaser when in the opinion of the board a sufficient amount had been paid. The board would have first lein on the vessels, until all pay ments are made.
 The committee made the new sug- gestion that Gin view of the fact that the ships constitute capital asset of the United States government" the proceeds from the sale of the vessels
