Western Forests

A senate committee bulletin on
reforesiation reports that the
original area OF 64, 900, 600 acres OF
f,rest in the Rocky mountain
states extending from New Mexico
and Arizona to Montana and Idaho,
still has nearly 38, 900, 900 acres OF
virgin timber.
The Rscky mountain states as a
whole. however, import half OF the
lumber which thoy consume, says
the bulletin. Much OF this region
will, together with the less accessi-
BILE Of the mountain forests near
the Pacific coast, form the last
national reserve Of timber. Many
of its forest areas, indeed, perform
a function in protecting the scutc-
es Of water utilized for irrisatien
and other purposes more valuable
10 the national economy thas the
production of wood.
"The great bulk Of the Rocky
mountain forest is not suitable ier
agriculture aad should be maip-
tained for the protection Of water
sheds and the producticA OF
timber.
at is probable that the future
development of forestry 10 2 major
part Of the Rocky mountains states
will be best accomplished through
an extension OF public forest owner
ship, both state and national. An
! immediate step which shee!d be
taken is the incorporation 10
national forests OF the unrescrved
public lands still existing in this
region which are, non agricultural
I'm character but are adapted 10 the
production Of timber or protection
Of water sources. The present
largely unprotected state OF this
| land is a source of public injury
| which should be remcdied.'

Delinquent Tax Law.

Boise, Idahe. - Property for
which taxes are drlinq tent in the
years Of 1920, I9ar and 1922 must
be redeemed within three years
from the date Of the delinquency,
instead OF four years. as provided
by the 1898 legislature, It was held
in a decision handed down by the
state supreme court Feb. 5. If the
land is not redeemed within that
date, tha court hsld, the county is
then deemed the owner and the
property may be sold FOX the taxes.
The opinion denies petisien for
rehearing ia the case Of Washing
ten county versus Charles NJ.
Paradis, county tax collector, which
was brought to test tho coastitu-
tioaality of the 1893 tax relief
measure enacted during the Seven
tccath session Of the legislature.
After the property has been
purchased by a third party. the
court helds that its original owner
may not rodsem because all vested
rights have been passed to an
innoceat pura haser. 1t was con-
tended in the decision that tho
right Of redsnptioa from tax sale
is governed by Subsequent lssisla-
ton changing the period Of time
allowed for rsdcn ption.
In its opinion the, court also held
that tie taxes fer tho respective
years could bs paid separately -
the convenience of tine taxpayer,
provided the property vas redeem
ed before the county ccnveyed il.
The relief measure esacted BY
tho lawmakers provides f1hst taxes
delinquent for the years OF 1920,
1921 and 1922 may be paid BY
rendering tho tax collector the
amount Of the tax, together With
interest at 7 per cent. from the
date Of delinquency uatif paid.
The old law provided that as soos
az the tax was delinquent spei
cent peaalty was attached xad the
total drew interest ct the ratio OF ]
PER cent per month until puid.

THE BLIND MAN

Swift as falling curtain, dark descended
White light of noon, and then the light was
DER;
And shall never know if things remembered
AS fair are fair no more
For me the dusk still wcavcs its olden glory,
Purple and pavonAe in rich brecads.
Each dawn comes back hear the city waking
In jacnth and in jade.
Friends of my youth fixed in youth eternal,
Gallant bright youth that time can never
blight;
And the gay laughing girls remain enduring
Visions Of sheer delight.
Still clear sec the passion flowers blooming.
The lilacs trembling to the springs caress-
Thank God for this: my blind eyes in their
Closed upon loveliness.

San Francisco, Aug, A,-MaksFs et maps haze been for some years an nnfaling source of amusement la lha people al lhe southern end af tho San Joaauin Valley Of California, Their maps nf The slate invariably show a large blue circle, about half ihe size of San Francisco Hay and bearing the eantipn Lake Tul.Re," The fact Is there is no such lake and hasn't been tor so long that Il is difficult for the old inhabitants l0 remember II!

WHEAT PRODUCTION
 10 PER CENT JESS
Dept. Ol Agriculture Realllrms
 Early Estimate

Washington, Aug, s.-From 10 10 IS
 per cent lees wheat lhsn last year will
 be produced this year in countries oi the northern hemisphere, the depart- ment Of agriculture announced today on the basis of telegraphie reports
 md other information confirming ear y estimates to that effect, The pres
 iuetlon this year In Is important pros
 iueing countries, including the United
 states and Canada, and exclusive Of
 Russia, and China, Is estimated at ,,nas,afs,nnl bushels, compared with .,sis,aoi, ono bushels last year.
 ''1'he cereal crop in Europe is less .han last year with important fedue- lions in countries consuming large quantities of hard wheata similar 10 pur lurum varieties" the department of agriculture stated. "Tha absence Of an eNportable surplus in North Africa further strengthens the market positions of these wheats and the outs look from the point of view of Ameri- san producers Is more favorable than
 ast year. The European demand for wheat at prices prevailing last sea- Ion resulted in imports considerably
 arger than expectations at the be- ginning of the season. The elasticity of the demand in certain important Importing countries Is likely 10 be felt at the present price level and European imports this season may not be greater than' last year In spite Of smaler harvests.
 Tn the Orient. which has taken considerable quantities of United States and Canadian wheat and flour during the past season, the prospects are for a considerably decreased pro- duction of wheat. Japan forecasts a wheat crop F per cent below last year, and in Manchuria conditions have been very unfavorable. though acreage and production estimates are not available for this region. With the increase in prices and the ma ior- ity of the reduction in the United States crop occurring in the Pacific it is difficult to foresee what SilttL tflS III lIlP oT- iental crop will have on purchases from America.
 Russian reports are as contradic- tory as ever, ranging from crops larger than last year to danger of severe famine affecting as many as 5,0oo,ooo people. Reports of crop shortage in important regions appear to be well founded. Notwithstanding famine reports from drought stricken areas, press reports are to the effect that the soviet government will con- tinue its export policy and the claim Is made that possible famine will be relieved without the aid of foreign food.
 Reports of considerable increase in the wheat acreage in Argentina are current but no official estimate Is available as yet Certainly the wealth sr was favorable during the planting season though dry weather is being | at present. Some increase $ also expected in Australia"

PARLIAMENT BODY VISITS SWITZERLAND
22nd Annual Conference Meets in
 Geneva and Berne

Geneva. Aug. S.--A strong Ameri- can group is expected to attend the twenty-second annual conference of the Inter- Parliamentary union which will be held this year at Berne and Geneva, beginning August e2. As many European members of parlia- ments call the union "the popular chamber of the league of nations" the meeting this summer is viewed with special interest because the final ses- sions will be held at Geneva just be- fore the opening of the September as- sembly of the league. It is thought that many parliamentarians will stay on to follow the deliberations of the assembly, especially in view of the expected presence of Premiers Mac Donald, Herriot and Mussolini.
 The union will meet at Berne from August p to August 26. The next day the delegates will come to Geneva and visit the league of na- tions and the international labor of- flee. On Thursday, August 2s, the last sitting of the conference will be held in Reformation Hall, at Geneva.
