TIMBER RECEIPTS SOAR

Breaking all records in the his
tory of the United States Forest
Service receipts from the sale of
National Forest timber for the first
quarter of the fiscal year amounted
to $1,055.165, according to dis
patches received from the forestry
department.
This is the first time. forest Of
ficials point out that timber sale
receipts for any quarter year have
ever topped a million dollars
The Rocky Mountain district of
the forest service has contributed
its share toward this record, break
ing quarter with timber sale re-
ceipts amounting to $102, 991.97, ac-
cording to C. j. Stahl, acting dis
trict forester. This is an increase
of something like Is per cen over
the receipts from the same quarter
a IA g and is far in excess of
the money received from timber
sales during any similar period in
the past history of the district.
1t is not expected that any of the
remaining quarters of the fiscal year
will touch this high level, since the
summer is the loggers busy season
in the western mountains. Timber
sales on the national forests have
been increasing and now bring to
the federal treasury over $1,000. 900
yearly.
