FOREST TALK
 i is GIVEN BY 1 GEO,,F:.Wl.E|s,E;:l !.
Prominen Lumberman ] Addresses Students of High School

Forests as they effect your country and your individual fu- ture," was the subject of the talk George F. Weisel, formerly from Missoula, Montana, and now in terested in the Juneau Lumber Mills, gave in the high school auditorium yesterday afternoon at i o'clock in accordance with the program for Forest Week here. All students from the sixth grade up were present to listen to MT. Weisel, who spoke exceedingly well on subject with which he is very familiar. He was in full charge of the American Forest Week activities in Montana during 1925 and 1926 and was on the ex- ecutive committee for American Forest Week for that state since it's organization in 1920.
 Forest Depletion
 Mir Weisel said that in his life time he has seen two regions de- pleted of forests, each in the short space of 20 years. One in Mime sota where he lived as child, he remembered as having appar. ently inexhaustible white pine for. ests, with sawmills running night and day, and rivers filled with logs. When he returned to that country two years ago there were no mills, no logs in the river nothing but desolate country which was cut over twenty years ago, with most of the former resi- dents gone to seek new fields. He encountered the same experience in Montana which was virgin tim Der country in the beginning. Las fan when he went there he no ticed no trees and the railroads were running into the hills fol timber. The lumber operations seem to be moving ever westward he declared, and unless precau tI6ns are taken. the Pacific Coas region will have the same expert ence. AS consequence of this timber which was once throwl away is now carefully utilized, an, the price of lumber is more thai twice what it was, he said.
 More Than One Industry
 Every country should have mor'

 than one principle industry, MT. Weisel said. When that is true, if one industry fails, another will make up for it. For instance, in Alaska last year the fish didn't run, which indicates that Alaska should not depend only upon the fishing industry, he said. While so billion feet of timber seems large in Alaska, it is not so very much compared with other sec tions of the country which have been cut over, he affirmed. The necessity to protect what we have was stressed by MT. Weisel. The United States is rich country with natural resources and great people, but the people must have recourses for progress, he de- clared.
 Mir. Weisel mentioned the prob lem of supplying lumber to the American Expeditionary Forces in France. France learned the les sons of forestry hundreds of years ago and now nearly all of the trees are planted by hand. he said. One-fourth of the area of the country is covered with forests. which are utilized even to the for est cover. He saw , million trees in the forest of the Landes which were planted like an orchard. and most of this forest was originally planted by Napoleon to -rrotect his military roads. The trees, es- pecially hardwoods. are all mark ed and numbered in France, he declared. In Germany the same sort of forestry is observed, ac- cording to Mir. Weisel.
 Dr. Schenck, German forester, who started the first Forest School in the United States, is now on the Pacific Coast on a lee ture tour and MT. Weisel, per. sonal friend of his, is trying to

 The pulp mills will be a twelve month proposition and perma- nent industry, MT. Weisel said, re9 garding the proposed pulp mills in Alaska. E
 Fire in the forest is the great est risk of all, declared MT. Wei sel. Even though there is great deal of rainfall no care should be overlooked to prevent them, was his conclusion.
 MT. Weisel will speak at the Chamber of Commerce on Friday regarding Forest economies as affecting the future of Alaska"
 These educational talks, are giv- en under the auspices of the American Legion which has charge of the observance of Forest Week here.

Whether a mattress will be buoyant,
