FORESTS NECESSARY

10Y j. ~ LaAAb WI 80 NfN
Shoshone Forest)
The Presidents proclamation for
American Forest Week is one of the
most readable proclamations | have
ever seen. 1t draws a picture of for
estry conditions in the United States
and gives US an objective toward
which to work. 1t presents a more
cheerful picture than we have been
accustomed to. II says "a gratifying
change is taking place" This is es-
pecially true as applied to the lumber
industry. Where formerly timebr
was cut much as a mine is worked,
the only thought being TO strip the
land, with no regard to the future,
at present n number of our largest
operators have in their employ expert
foresters who are putting their OPP
erations on a substantial yield basis
as rapidly as possible.
When the early colonists landed on
the Atlantic coast the area now en-
braced in the United States contained
500 million acres of timber-producing
land. We have left 1873 million acres
of virgin forests. There are 81 mill
lion acres which have been rendered
totally unproductive as a result Of
fire. II is estimated that our origin
al stand Of timber contained 5000
billion board feet and that we have
left about 200 billion board feet. Our
forest land is being cut v at the
rate of about 10 million acres yearly.
The present annual growth is esti-
mated at 6 billion cubic feet, but the
annual drain is almost % billion cubic
feet. In the short period of less than
$50 years Of our national existence
we have used up more than three
ffths of our timber resources. The
center of the numbering industry has
progressed from forest region TO
another, from the Atlantic seaboard
to the Lake states, to the great north
ern pinories and Is now located in u
last great forest region on the Pacific
coast. The removal Of the center Of
lumber production TO n forest region
far removed from the center of pop
ulation has resulted directly in more

Overtaken by Sandman
While Driving Car

Harold Pond and Forest Gillison
made about n too many trips on the
Lowell = Powell road last Saturday
night. Going to. Lowell to escort
some young ladies to the Ralston
dance, they had returned there with
them and were coming back home to
Powell at an hour when the silvery
dawn could be discerned on the east
ern horizon and the little birds were
commencing to chirp in the treetops.
Young Gillison was asleep in the
back seat, trusting to the vigilence of
his companion to guide the a Alright
and to convey him home in safety.
Just as the crossed the bridge coming
this way from Lowell and ascending
the steep river hill, Harold Joined his
sleeping companion in Sunderland,
and the driverless car turned on its
side for a little rest also. A guard
fence at the side of the high ledge re-
tarded the car from taking a down
ward plunge. Gillison was rudely
awakened by being thrown out thru
the rear glass window of the sedan,
and Pond had to lift the car off a
portion of his body before he could
tell just how badly he was hurt. Luck
lily no bones were broken. What is
that old adage about the Lord taking
care of children and sleeping car
drivers, or something to that effect?-
