STATE FORESTS
OFFER LURE TO
MANY CAMPERS
Tenth of Indiana'S Landed
Area Is in Heavy Tim
Der Growth.

Ten per cent of the total land
area Of Indiana is in native wood
land. This fact is one point which
has made Hoosier trails popular with
motorists from throughout the land
and this state playground for
the camper.
Every effort is being made by
State Forester Ralph F. Wilcox TO
add an additional 5 per cent TO this
wooded area by urging the reforesta-
ton Of that much Of the land that
has been cut over and now lies
fallow.
This effort is being aided greatly
by the 5,OOO-acre forest preserve Of
the state conservation department
in Clarke county near Henryyille.
Here is the largest experimental
station in the United States dealing
exclusively with scientific research
of hardwoods.
Forest Carefully Tended
Prom this forestry tract silvicul-
tural methods of handling native
stands are demonstrated to obtain
the maximum yield in the minimum
time. Wilcox says.
Each year the forest is inspected
carefully and trees Of marketable
size cut and sold. The department
operates portable sawmills in the
great woods. which is the mecca of
many out-of- door lovers during the
summer.
Two million seedlings are growing
there, to be distributed at cost to
private owners for timber and wind
breaking planting.
The place also is a wild life pre-
serve.
Since 1920 the forest nursery has
supplied 4250O0 trees for planting
on state land and 100000 were sold
to private planters
100000 Trees There
From a capacity Of $4,000 trees in
1922, the present inventory is
$500, 0OO-enough to reforest 1000
acres of land, according to Wilcox.
Since the forest was purchased in
1903, more than 100000 persons
have visited it,.
Fire is the outstanding danger in
the great forest and all who visit
there are urged to be careful in
using matches or smoking.
Fire towers have been erected and
guards constantly are on the alert
for the first faint wisp Of smoke,
which may mean the loss Of hun
dreds of acres of trees which time
alone can replace.
Last year two serious fires broke
out on the reservation. but great
loss was prevented by the fire crews,
Wilcox says.
Produces Good Revenue
Director Richard Lieber of the
conservation department estimates
that the 5,OOO-acre forest produces a
revenue of $35 900 a year over a
long period. and that were it not for
the tree crop. this land would be
absolutely idle and useless.
stretch your legs and enrich your
mind" is the inviting slogan that
the state forest offers visitors. Here
there is ample room to return to
the primitive, with trails through
tall timber, several hundred acres Of
which was old before the first white
man set foot in this state.
Massive. growing oaks and
pines invite the city-weary seeker
for solitude, and last year more than
$4,000 accepted that invitation. Will

BILLBOARDS UNSIGHTLY,
A. A. A. OFFICERS SAY
Point Out That No Curb Is Made
On Them by Authorities.

Supporting vigorously the conten-
ton of Thomas H. Macdonald. chief
of the United States bureau of pub
lie roads. that the plethora Of bill
boards on the nations highways is a
disgraceful condition which should
be overcome without delay, the
American Automobile Association
points out that while most states
have some sort of billboard regula-
tons. Americas choice vistas con-
tinue to be marred by unsightly out
door advertisements.
According to the American Auto
mobile Association. which has con-
Quoted a survey of the present stu
alton. the billboard evil runs ram
pant almost universally over the
country, and save in isolated in
stances relatively little is being done
by the authorities to halt the de-
facement of the countryside"

 Alaskans seen in Washington this week include MT. Charles Traeger of Unalakleet, Captain and Mrs. A. D. Williams of Ko- krineS. MT. Williams is the Su- perintendent of a large reindeer herd owned. by Waechter Bros. Company of which he is a mem Der. John A. and Mrs. Bal laine of Seward are still in the city.

Gas War Continues

It is believed in Washington that three years will go by be- fore prices take an upward trend from the present low lev el of 812 to 1872 in Seattle and other coast cities. "This gaswar is not a local problem. It is caused by a fight among the producers. It will continue until some of the smaller oil compan- ies in California are absorbed by the larger. Low prices will pre- vail until then" one of the sta- tion dealers is quoted as saying
 Local average prices remained at 10 cents the gallon in Seattle and 1012 in Petersburg. So far as the fishermen are concerned, the big fellows can fight until doomsday and not a few have that wish.

The tally at the end of this game stoodf84- 17 with the Fishermen on the long end of the score and the minors drinking of the dregs of defeat.
 The teams are showing cham pionship sportsmenship and the reception accorded Petersburg is beyond comparison with treat- ment at Juneau. With the games one all, the local boys ex- pect to win and bring home the Territorial Championship.

Another Pulp Mill--Not
 For Alaska

A $3,000,000 pulp and paper plant for Everett, Washington, is planned as the outgroWth of negotiations looking to the mer- ger of the San Juan Pulp & Pa per Company of Bellingham and the Fidalgo Pulp & Paper Com pany of Anacortes, is a recent report from Seattle.
 The two concerns rumored to be involved in the merger plans are said to be owned chiefly by the same interests, headed by Ossian Anderson of Bellingham and Perry Knight of Bucoda.
 Harry R. Lawton, resident manager of Peirce, Fair & Co.,, refused to state what progress had been made in the negotia- tions but admitted that his firm had been considering a f1nanc- ing program to care for the pro- posed merger expansion.
 It was indicated that the Ska git Lumber might be included in the merger plans.
 The proposal to erect a new pulp plant at Everett climaxes a vast development, in the pulp and paper field of Washington is reflected in the announce ment of several other recent projects for new pulp plants and expansion of existing plants in the state of Washington. According to recent statement by Governor Parks pulp mills will probably be started in Alaska inside of a couple ot years to protect, at least, the power and timber right now granted certain companies fiirt- ing with pulp possibilities in Alaska.
 But so far, all the pulp mill expansions and developments have been in Washington.

The Senate is preparing to give early consideration to legis- lation before it. Thirty bills have already been introduced.

 The cannery sanitation bill with four minor amendments goes to it's third reading today and will pass.
 Senator Will Steel from the First Division will introduce to- morrow in the Senate a bill ere ating elective offices of auditor and treasurer. These with the Governor will form a Board of Control. This is the best meas ure that can be gotten through both houses.

Questions Validity
 Session Laws

Attorney General John Rust gard in his recommendations to the legislature declared it was his opinion thta 18 chapters of the Session Laws passed by the 1927 Legislature were invalid as they appear not to have been approved until after the Legis-- lature adjourned sine die and after the constitutional time limit within which the Legisla- ture could legally function had expired; second, because they were not delivered to the gov- ernor till after the session had adjourned"
 The Workman's Compensation law is one of the laws affected by his decision. He recommends that they be made valid by re- enactment if they would be re- tained on the statute books.
 As relates the literacy voters laws he recommends that the literacy requirements of Federal statutes be made ap- plicable to municipal and dis trict school elections.

2 NewsssFrom Rake

An earthquake of about one minutes duration rocked Rake about midnight Saturday March second. Although most people were awakened by the violent shaking, no damage was report ed. A similar shock was ex- perienced here last year.
 A project to construct a com munity float here was abandon ed by the Town Council, at a special meeting held here this week. Instead of the float, a fund is being raised which will ultimately be used in the con- struction of a wharf.
 Trapping season being over, the toWnsmen are busy getting ready for the coming Christian Endeavor Convention which op- ems here April third. Sidewalks are being repaired, new poles and wire for the electric light system are being put up, and a dam for the light plant Is be- ing constructed.
