POOR. FORESTRY
METHOD BLAMED
FOR BIG FIRES
(By Dispatch A. P. Wire)

MADISON, Wis, Aug. 14.-Poor for
estry methods were partly blamed for
| the western forest fires during the
past month by Aldo Leopold, associate
director of the United States forest
products laboratory here, afetr return
ling from a survey Of the timber wastes
! in the west. Leopold spent a number
| of years in the Western forestry serv-
lice prior to coming here two years.
ago. 4 ~
.The plague Of forest fires which
has afflicted the inland empire for thel
past month";" he said, lis caused att
| least in part by poor utilization of the
forests. Uncut virgin forests seldomi
burn
''The real fire menace is found on
/ the cutover and burned over lands
piled high with waste wood, in which,
when the humidity gets low and the
wind high, fire is well nigh uncon-
| trollable. Fires which spread intol
green timber are usually found to
have originated on cutover lands. Landl
which has been once burned is much
more susceptible to repeated fires than
LAND which has not been burned at all.
The fire menace is thus cumulativel
| evil.
'"The reason why so much waste
wood is left on the ground in lumber
| ing operations is that the north Idahoi
| forests are composed of half dozen
/ tree species which vary greatly IN
4 market value and in the proportion OF,
sound material they contain. Economic,
conditions have forced the exploitation
Iof the more valuable species so Tar
| hack from transportation routes that
| the less valuable species and less
sound material cannot be moved at a.
Jnrofit. ,This unmovable material is
left on the ground. If uncut, only the
best portions are taken and the rest
constitutes a fire-trap. If uncut, it is
killed by the fires which run in the.
lcut material and which also kills Off
1.-THE young growth, pave the way for
more fires and thus complete the vic
lious circle of deforestation. 81
"To remedy this situation is diff
lficult and complex problem with which
lboth the forest service and the lum-
lbermens associations have been crap
pling. In most respects the remedy
must be worked out locally, but there
lie one Way in whic1 the general public
lean help, and that is to help utilize
the species which are left behind in
numbering because of lack of pubic
appreciation of their values. con-
siderable part of the larch, white fir
and western hemlock which grows in
the inland empire is left on the ground
as a fire menace because the average
citizen is not familiar with these
woods and hence hesitates to buy them
as lumber.
..The forest service is now compll-
ling all available information on the
properties and uses Of these little
fused kinds of wood with view to in
i forming the public of what they are
good for"

ELLINWOOD FOR
GOVERNOR CLUB
IS FORMED HERE

An "Ellinwood- d-for-Governor" club,
supporting r. f. Ellinwood Of Phoenix
in his candidacy for the gubernatorial
nomination, has been formed in Doug
las, with headquarters at room S,
Brophy5 building. Joseph p. Sexton
was elected president and L. A. Her
ring, secretary. 1t is planned to have
Ellinwpod speak in Douglas before
the primary election.
In an address at Phoenix Friday
night Ellinwood answered a letter
from A. S. Hammons,, state superinten-
detn of banks in which Hammons
charged the Phoenix Savings Bank and
Trust company of violations of the
state banking code, and in which Ham
mons also declared that he had asked
the action of the attorney general,
John w. Murphy Ellinwood, former
president of the institution and now a
candidate for governor showed where
the loan involved was made on indus
trial stock and not on oil stocks as
charged, and that 1t also was made
after his Resignation had been ac-
cepted by the bank and so noted in
the report OF the state superintendent
of banks.
fIammons was refused action by tho
attorney general, Ellinwood said,
when the attorney; general declared
that hel had no jurisdiction in the
matter. After Murphy's refusal to act,
Hammons declared he would take the
matter up with Arthur La Prade, coun-
ty attorney of Maricopa county, under
whose jurisdiction the matter is said
to fall

help her. He told her to come through
the fence to the house, but. when he
admitted that there was no woman

'You are in Mexico now; you'd bet

They were students in the very

Oterlin, Ohio, was the first.
There were seven in that first little
class which graduated in June OF

MAY DRAFT PERSHING
Legion May Elect Him to Ease
Feeling in France.
BU United Press

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Oct. "a plan
to draft General Pershing for COM
membership of the American Legion
was made known here today by
Legion officials preparing for open
ing of the eight annual Legion con-
vention Monday in Philadelphia.
Their project is to elect PershIng
despite his expressed wish to the
contrary and with him as leader to
take the ninth annual convention to
Paris next fall.
The plan was conceived because of
Pershing's popularity here and in
France, in the belief that Pershing
could do more than any other man
toward smoothing over any differ
ences which might result from re-
cent anti-American demonstrations
abroad.
