 Program Set Forth
 Speaking of a National Forestry policy, Mir. Greeley said the program laid down by Col Graves had been further developed.
 This program" he said, 'is based on the conviction that tho problem of haltinG forest devastation is funda- mentally a national, not q local prob lem, and must be faced and hand led as such. At the same time 1t ie felt that the speediest, surest and most equitable action can be so cured through dependence on the DO lice powers of the States for the en- forcement of such reasonable require ments as should be made of private owners and on the state govern ments for providing organized pro tectiOn of private lands against fire

1 AMERICAN MAGAZINE HAS FEATURE ARTICLE ABOUT
 GIRL MINING OPERATORS

The American Magazine for Janu- ary contains feature article from the pen of Wright Wenrich of Ju- ncau telling Of the feat of the Misses Erma and Margaret Peterson anG their mother in operating un- assisted gold mine at Pearl liar bor, about forty miles north of Juneau.
 The article tells how after the death of their father some four years ago thctwO girls took charge of his mine and have with singular success kept the little stamp mill going ever since with the ore that they have taken from the mine themselves.
 It tells of shoeing the mules used in the operations, the opening of new mining ground, rebuilding their burnt home, killing the game used for food and the doing of many un- usual things usually left to those of the male sex.
 The article is truthful and gives a detail those things that have been known personally by many Ju- neau people who have long watched the two young ladies and their mother at their work at Pearl Harbor.

Forester Annual Report Urges Measure to Put
 Idle Lands at Work.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-ForeSts being devastated so rapidly by cut ing and burning that the nation soon will be dependent for the bulk of it's construction lumber upon the forests of the Pacific Coast. William B. Gree ley. United States Forester declares in his annual report published recent ly. The situation, MT. Greeley says, iG one which affects the public wei fare of the entire country and he urges a federal law to stop the de- vastation of the remaining forests and to put the old forest lands at work
 "Two-thirds of the original forests of the United States have been cull- ed. cut over or burnt, and three fifths of their merchantable timber is gone" said MT. Greeley. "The coun- try is taking about 26,000, 100000 cubic feet of wood annually from it's forests and is growing about 6.OOO .0OO,O 900 cubic feet. We are cut ting timber of every class, even trees too small for the sawmill much faster than they are being re placed in our forests. There are still large quantities of timber in the United States, but they are not in the right place. Sixty one percent of what is left lies west of the great plains, far from the bulk of our population, agriculture and manufac- lures. The exhaustion of one forest cfter another in the Eastern States has been reflected in rising prices and transportation costs. The dis tance between the average sawmill and the average homebuilder is steadily increasing; and we shall soon be dependent for the bulk of our construction lumber upon the forests of the Pacific Coast. These condl- lions have had vital bearing upon the high cost of lumber, which. dur ing the year has reached prohibit i've figure and has checked the building of homes which is so urg- ently needed.
 Forests Devastated
 "We have used up our forests without growing new ones. At the bottom of the whole problem is idle forest lands. The United States contains 326,OOO,0O0 acres of cut over and denuded forests containing no saw timber; S1,000,000 of this have been completely devastated by for est fires or methods of cutting which
