DECISIVE BATTLE
IN CHINA FORESEEN
Nationalist and Northern
Rebel Armies Maneuvering
for Positions.

By the Associated Press.
SHANGHAI. July 22.--Maneuvers
foreshadowing decisive battle between
Nationalist and Northern rebel armies
in Shsntung were reported today in
dispatches from both factions,
The belligerents seemingly were des-
tined to clash along the Tientsin- Pukow
Railway near Tain, Shantung. and the
outcome may determine the fate of the
Nationalist attempt to blast the rebels
out of that province.
Nationalist yesterday indicated they
planned to put 100000 more men OH
the Shantung and Honan fronts in ad-
dition to the 100000 government troops
already there. Northerners today said
they were maSSing 10000 men near
Taian, in addition to their heavy forces
near Yenchow to the southwark.
Nationalist troops in that area were
believed to number about $4,000, which
would make the opposing armies some
where near equal in size.
Marking military authorities said
Chang Kai-Shek, Nationalist generals
sinno. had issued general orders for an
advance on Tsinan, rebel-held capital
of Shantung.
Although detailed advices were lack
ing, suffering among the opposing
forces was believed intense because of
the extreme heat which his gripped
Central China. The temperature has
been varying from 100 to ITO degrees.

CITIZEN GROUPS
AID CROSBY

The opposition Of trade and
labor organizations to the ap-
pointment Of Maj. Gen. Herbert
B. Crosby to succeed Commits
sioner Proctor L. Dougherty' ap-
parently is being offset by civic
groups, two more Citizens Associa.
tionS last night indorsing the
army man.
The Rhode Island Citizens
Association and the Capitol View
Civic Association both strongly
commended the selection of Gen.
eral Crosby.
In the groups opposing Cen
eral Crosby are the Merchants
and Manufacturers Association,
the Board Of Trade, the Chamber
OF Commerce and the Central
Labor Union.
The citizen and civic aSSocia-
tions represent conservatively
about $4,000 persons. many of
whom are Federal employees.
From present indications the Fed
Grafton of Citizens Associations
win take favorable action on the
selection Of General Crosby at
its next meeting Saturday night.
At the Rhode Island Citizens
Association last night the entire
argument hinged on just what
Crosby's status will be following
his retirement on March 81. It
was held after lengthy debate
that regardless of his status,
military or civilian, General
Crosby will fill the bill as a
Commissioner.

leaning toward the occult. there is
a fascination In gazing into the

pure crystal.
Sparkling, translucent American Ice

depths of a cube of this famous ice
and find no slightest flaw to mar
its clarity.
And so when users of American
Ice do their crystal.gazing they
will see that in the future, as in

FOREST AREAS MAKE UP
 VAST ACREAGE
Governor in His Annual Re. port Gives Details of
 Timbered Tracts

''The two National Forests in Alaska are administered by the Forest Service of the Department Of Agriculture" declares Gov George A. Parks in his report to the Secretary of Interior.
 The Chugach, the smaller of the two, is located in the Prince William Sound region, and has an area of 4,800,000 acres. The commercial tim Der stand here is estimated to be 6,260, 100000 feet board measure The Tongass National Forest cov- CTS the greater part of Southeast Alaska. It has an area of 16,547 900 acres and a commercial stand of timber of approximately 78,500000,- 900 feet board measure. The tree species Of these Forests occur in about the following percentages;
 Western hemlock, 73, Sitk a spruce 20, Western red cedar 8 Alaska cedar 3, and others 1 per cent
 Forest Service officials estimate that it is possible to cut 100000 900 board feet each year in per petuity from the Alaska National Forests. The last calendar years cut was only 47,50O,00O board feet This material was used to supply the local needs for sawtimber, pill ing, ties and various other pro- ducts. No great increase in the cut can be looked for until the pulp and paper mills now in prospect be- come a reality.
 Water Power Applications
 Applications for licenses to de- velop certain water power sites in connection with pulp and paper mills to be established near Ju- neau and Ketchikan have recently been made to the Federal Power Commission by large and responsi- ble firms. There is every reason to believe that construction work en- tailing the development of total of 10000 horsepower will be start ed this year
 National Forest roads are con- structed by the Bureau of Public Roads, the road building agency of the Department of Agriculture, with funds appropriated under the forest road section of the Federal High way Act and in cooperation with the Territory. These roads are an important factor in the develop ment of the National Forest sec ton of Alaska since they connect isolated agricultural settlements and small towns and mining districts with the larger communities and main traveled waterways.
 227 Miles of Road
 up to June 30, 1930, 227 miles of road were constructed and main tained at a cost of $4,500,0o0. The trails open up new regions for min- eral prospecting. as well as for many other kinds of development. A total of 375 miles of such trails has been built to June 30, 1930, at a cost of s42o,00o A recent appro- priation by Congress makes avail

Mineral DcyeIonment

Mineral development is encour- aged on National Forest land. Ths prospector and operator is not bur dened by restrictions other thar { those provided in the general min- ing laws Newly discovered mineral ized regions have recently stimu lated prospecting to marked de- gree.
 "The Act of March 3, 1927, per mits the leasing of land as home side, not exceeding acres, which can be patented at the end of 3 years if used as home during that period to the exclusion of home elsewhere The desirability of this law is shown by the fact that 263 applications for homesites have been made under this act to date.
 Salmon canneries and other in- dustrial enterprises occupying sites under lease on the National Forests are now largely taking advantage of recent regulation under which these sites can be eliminated from; the Forest and then patented. r
 Aerial Photography
 "The fall of 1929 saw the com pletion of a project started in 1926 that means much to the Territory. This is the mapping by aerial pho- tography of Southeastern Alaska. The work was done by the U. s. Navy with the cooperation of the Bureau of Public Roads, Geologil cal Survey, Forest Service and oth- CT Government agencies in Alaska.
 The photographs obtained are of inestimable value in showing tinl- Der stands, water power lakes, pos sible road and trail routes, water courses, and the outline of unchart- ed coasts. Two very important water power sites, heretofore unreported, one on Baranof Island and the oth- CT near the mouth of Taku Inlet, were mapped by the Navy fliers. The latter known as Dorothy Lake, is expected to be used immediately for power development near Ju- neau.
 Any of the aerial photographs are available to the public at the cost of printing.
 Almost SelfSupporting
 Except for money spent on roads and trails, the National Forests in Alaska are almost self-supporting. In the Fiscal Year 1930 a total of $110,320 was received by the Gov ernment from the sale of timber, and as rentals from special use per- mits and other activities. This amount is slightly less than the administrative expenditures for the year. Twenty-Five percent, or S27,- 580, of the net receipts is made
