STORM ON CHRISTMAS
CAUSES GREAT HAVOC
Worst Wind Storm in Men,
CRY Of Man Sweeps
Sound Region.

The Christmas wiad storm hit
the island with full force and did
considerable damage at various
points. The greatest loss perhaps
occurred at the Highland Park
poultry farm when several good
sized colony houses We're lifted
over a six foot fence and deposited
on the other side. Although all
houses Were full Of chickens, all
escaped injury. The loss will
run close to a thousand dollars.
Not a car left the island on the
early morning ferry Christmas
morning, as four big trees lay
across the highway towards the
north end. Part Of the dock at
Tahlequah was washed out, clos
ing traffic to that section for sew
eral days. However, a piledriver
is at work and the damage will
soon be repaired.
The Washington Coast Utilities
suffered a great deal of damage to
both power and telephone lines.
The linemen We're out all day
Christmas repairing the damage.
At about dark the work was com
pleted but as the lines We're ont ON
the mainland, the head Office
could not be notified to turn on
the Juice L. NJ. Moore, dis
trict manager, was on the island
and hunted up Denzler Cutler and
had him send wireless message
to another amateur operator at
Seattle who telephoned the central
office that the current might be
turned on. Thus the island homes
were lighted as usual for Christ
mas evening. Great credit is due
the entire force OF the Washing
ton Coast Utilities for the heroic
efforts put forth.
AT Ellisport the Uttstrom fish
ing boat and the Bull Moose, own
ed by the Larsens, We're blown
ashore at high tide in the lagoon.

At Burton the float at the dock
was washed out and the bulk
head and sidewalk at the Staples
store We're badly wrecked,
A number of windows We're
blown in in residences at several
points on the island. This is be-
lieved to have been the worst
storm ever seen since the settle
ment of the Puget Sound region.

CONGRESS- PASSED
 LAW AND HALF DAY STATES MONDELL
Retiring House Leader Ridi- cules Ford 0ffer-Says There Was Not Time
 to Consider It

WASHINGTON, March 11.-A law and a half day for 264 days was the record of the Sixty seventh Con- gress, Frank w Mondell of Wyom ing, retiring republican House lead CT, said in a statement inserted to- day in the Congressional Record.
 In addition to 931 measures en- acted, MT. Mondell said IA bills passed by the House had failed in the Senate, adding that it ought to be in order in the House to discuss rules or lack of rules in the Senate under which a minority, and ire quently small minority of the Sen ate, can prevent action on highly inn portant legislation which the House has considered.'
 Declaring there was not sufficient time, which might have been util- ized" for consideration of the Ford offer for Muscle Shoals, the retiring majority leader said if the proposi- tion had been made by anyone but Henry Ford it would have been smothered in ridicule.'
 O O O
 Ridicnles Fertilizer Idea.
 The clamor on behalf of the Ford offer" he said, lis predicated al most wholly on the groundless as- sertion that if the Ford offer is ac- cepted MT. Ford will furnish the farmers of the country with cheap fertilizers The only possible legis- lation for the attitude of certain gen. tlemen favorable to the Ford offer is that they are exceedingly anxious to have great industrial center es- tablished in the section in which Muscle Shoals is located, and they are perfectly willing to have the government make contribution of $100,000 900 and grant 100-year lease on riciculously favorable terms to the lessee."
 MT. Mondell enumerated a long list of measures enacted, calling es- pecial attention to these: The tax revision bill, reducing the annual tax burden nearly billion dollars;" the Fordney act, under which the nations labor and indus. tries are protected" the maternity bill; the national highway act; the immigration restriction act; the acts to prevent profiteering in coal. and providing coal fact-finding com mission; the foreign debt refunding measures; the budget law; the agri- cultural credits bill; the law return ing certain alien properties; the bill creating additional federal judges the packer control act; the grain futures trading law: the anti-nar- cotic laws; the naval scrapping bill; the peace resolution, and various measures for the welfare of World war veterans.

 Praises Tariff Hill.
 Under the Fordney tariff bill. MT. Mondell said both imports and ex- ports have increased and "as a result of good business management of the nations affairs" the country's gross debt was reduced from $26,594267.- SIS on August 3, 1919, to $22,715.- SSS,7So on February 2s, 1923.

ASK LUMbERMEN T0 DRAW UP BILL 0N REF F0RESTAT|0N
Congressional Committee Seek Advice of Lumber Industry as to Fores-
 try Policy
WARRINGTON BUREAU
 THE AGE-HERAI.D Washington, D. C., March II

Approaching tho national forestry policy problem from a angle some- what novel for congressional com on this subject today invited the Na- tional Manufacturers association. through it's secretary and manager, Wilson Compton, to draft a forestry policy bill embodying the contsruc- tive views of the humber industry. The request came at the end of the statement which MT. Compton made to the committee outlining the jews Of the lumber industry as to the major factors of the problem of re- forestation and it's idess as to how the matter can be dealt with prac- tically and eonformably 0 the pecu- liar conditions prevailing in the United States.
 MT. Compton explained that rep resentatives of the industry been consulted in the drafting of both the Srell and Clarke bills, but c airman McNary thought it would be of great importance to the committee to have before it bill that expressed pre- cisely the forestry ideas of practical lumbermen familiar with the needs of the lumber and wood using ndus- tries.
 Tells of Foreign Methods,
 Axel Oxholm, chief-sof t',e lumber division of the depa-tmen of com merce, gave the committee general account of forestry practice in Eu- rope, emphasizing that of Norway and especially Sweden as h;.ving more bearing on ~hat should be done in the United States. He poin.ed out that while forestry was more highly developed in France, Germany, Aus tria and Switzerland than in other countries, they were not examples for the United States cause of the small proportion of forest land to population in those countries-about half an acre per cap.-a-which made intensive forest administration more necessary and more ec omical than in such countries as the United States where there are five acres of forest land to every person, or in Sweden or Norway where there arc nine and seven acres per capita, re- spectively.
 In the United States, especially on the Pacific coast and in the south ern states, Mir. Oxholm thought tha. reforestation was chiefly matter of letting nature do it, by keeping out fires and encouraging natural reseeding.
 The democratic members of the committee are Senators Harrison of Mississippi and Fletcher of Florida.
