yet taken by the U. s. Forest Ser

announcement made yesterday by
District Forester c. H. Flory. This
change strikes from the contract Of
fered large users, the clause per
mitting the Secretary of Agriculture
to cancel any contract for cause.
Word of the change, which is said
to increase largely the liberality OF

Is Third Modification
This is the third time in as many
months that the Forest Service has
announced notifications in its pulp
contract policy which tend to liberal

timber in large Quantities. Mr..
Flory drew attention to this in max

saying: 1--WE have accomplished
three things we have had in mind
for a long time. First, we have
changed the original contract pro
