GAS TAX

Washington motorists began 2aying 2 cents more for gasoline throughout that state in con- formity with the law enacted tlis year. Where the price o1 gasoline was 12 cents in Seattle it is now two cents more.
 In Alaska the full burden ot the Hess gasoline tax woulc fall upon the fishermen, hali- tut, troller and seiner. There would be no compensating ae- 'antages and it would add ST much more to the cost of pro- H1cts from the ocean that ths market would refuse to absorb he difference. The measure proposed by Senator Hesse is not Horthy of any consideration

more reasonable that the literati which visits Alaska spend their effort at conservation of other things rather than grizzly bear.
 Record Bear Killed
 Charles Madsen, noted Alas kan guide living at Kodiak re- ports that Chief Charliago, Kar- llk Indian, had killed a grizzly bear which measured 14 feet 3 inches in length. When stretched it would probably reach over Is feet overall. According to the hunters of the North Country, this is the largest bear of any species killed in Alaska. The next in size killed, was brought in to Wrangell a number of years ago measuring over 13 feet. This was killed by Little Andrew" Wrar- gell Indian, and was purchased by the late F. Matheson. Andrew killed three bear from the same group, using one shot from a 22- Special, and two shots from a 25-35 Winchester. He took all three shots from distance less than 25 feet of the animals "They were that harmless" but he did not advise anyone else tC , try the same stunt.

ATTENTION STEWART EDWARD WRITE
 AM OTHERS

Stewart Edward White created considerable opposition in Alas ka to his plan to create havens
 or the protection of brown and c,rizzly bear. MT. Frothingham 'alled Alaskans every kind of a coward that he could think of and declared that Alaskans are just naturally afraid of those
 harmless" creatures. We have declared this to be misspent energy and the creation of need less reservations and needless protection of animals which are becoming too plentiful.
 Down in the Deschutes coun- try, Oregon, Stanley G. Jewett, in charge of predatory animal control work for the Biological Survey, is making arrangements 10 exterminate a large colony of groundhogs. Destruction of this animal was ordered because they were causing considerable damage to crops.
 The groundhog is an edible animal and it is neither danger ous nor vicious. Not a tenth part as much as the Alaska brown and grizzly bear. It would be far

BULLDOZING AS USUAL

Sportsmen and other interests in Oregon have been fighting the proposal of fishermen that the Willamette River be opened to commercial fishing. Practically all of the Chinook salmon eggs for the Oregon hatcheries are secured from this river.
 Commissioner Henry O'Malley expressed his opinion on the matter in the following telegram published in the Pacific Fisher man:
 "The Bureau of Fisheries is opposed to reopening the Will lamette River, it's slough and tri- butaries to commercial fishing. Fishing of small rivers of this type is entirely in conflict with any sound conservation policy and will eventually cause the de- struction of the valuable indus try of the Columbia River. The Bureau contemplates requesting Congress (sic) year for a large appropriation for the Clackamas hatchery. If the action indicated (opening of the river) is taken it will undoubtedly be necessary to abandon that plan and also to

Change of National Forest Policy In Alaska
 Essential to Life of Miu Industry
Why the Determination?
 A Comment

l A Comment
 With almost half the available western hemlock in the United States, Alaska cuts 1,542, ,147 ,00C feet less than mills in the states and, while export of round tim Der is permitted in the states it is not permitted in Alaska, eX- cept in isolated instances. We nave a right to ask the Forest Officials, Why this discrimina- tion? .;S Spruce Supply and Production
 ''The estimated volume of Sit ka spruce of commercial size on the Tongass National Forest is 15,800,000,000 board measure and on the Chugak National Forest about 1,400,000,000 feet board measure. Alaska contains about two-fifths of the total supply.
 But "of the 571 .917,000 board feet of spruce Gall spruces) lum- her produced in the United States in 1928, Oregon and Washington furnished over one half, most of which was Sitka spruce. The production of sprucc lumber in Alaska in 1928 was g, ,748,000 board feet. Exports from Alaska to foreign countries of spruce boards amounting tc 2,411, ,OO0 board feet in 1928 and 5000 board feet in 1929.
 Note: Alaska exported to or eign countries in 1929 approXi- mately one-tenth that exported by Oregon and Washington. As no figures are given for 1929 TX sorts the comparison cannot De carried further. But an export of 85,O00 board feet for 1929 ap pears to be rather a sickly look ng sight.
 Other Determinations
 In previous articles on thi, subject by E. s. Fungerford, a logging operator, # is pointed put that the forest regulations are so unfair and discriminatory hat the logger cannot hope to operate at a profit or even to ell to the mills, decent timber
 A prominent millman stated | 70 the writer that "tWenty-fve | Ter cent of the timber that ouy is decayed, checked and SC -notty that it is impossible to get ,ven decent box shocks out of it t costs just as much to cut a ,otten log as sound stick.
 m thereby penalized by the 'orest Department just to per- lit me to operate"
 Taxing A Sick Industry
 In order to permit the saw mills to operate with hope ot
 roft, Representative ziegle1 proposes to compe! the canners through taxation, to use Alaska OK shocks or pay the higher ate on fibre containers.
 If a doctor prescribed iodine or a stomach ache, he woula Q the laughing stock of the i medical fraternity and he woulc >se all his patients. The tax on lore containers to secure relic rom pains of the lumber indus ', trv due to unsound, diScrimnia- .ory regulations. is application of iodine for a stomach ache
 The only real cure for the all nent is removal of regulations that are unsound in busi'leoa md which only penalize the in duStry.

NATIONAL FOREST POLICY Quotations from Technical Bull 4ctin No. 226, Dept. Agriculture

fhe Alaska national forests taS as it's objective the providing of continuous and adequate sup ply of timber for the present and future wood using indus tries of the region. Is is hoped that such industries will in turr foster the permanent develop nent of the Territory, and per init sustained contribution to the Nations supply of timber products. The objectiveS, of course, includes the furnishing of a permanent and convenient supply of timber for local con- sumption.
 Timber Sales
 Timber sales are made with the understanding that the wood is to be used for primary manufacture within the Terri tory and is not to be exported in the form of logs. cordWood, or other raw products, except in individual cases to permit more complete utilization.
 Heintzleman Describes Timber
 "The stands of timber are ev- en-aged, many age classes are lCrresented in the forest as 2 whole; and the stands of the elder age classes are greatly ir the majority, perhaps three fourths of the commercial tim Der of the region being MATURE IND OVERMATURE.
 Classification
 Commercial timber of tho principal species in the Tongase National Forest is conservative ly estimated to occur by volume m the following amounts: West ern hemlock, "A per cent; Sitka spruce, 20 per cent; western ce- dar, 3 per cent; and Alaska ce- dar, per cent. The total stan6 of saw timber in the forest ie about 78,5OO,O0O,OOO feet, boarf ~neasure.
 Timber Production, Export and
 Yield
 "For the year 1929, the timbe' C'lt on the two national forest O. Alaska amounted to 47,462,. t00 feet, board measure, with stumpage value of $71 ,4O9. T. 1929, 2,4O5,OOO board feet ot wood, timber, and lumber" val 1ed at s14O,O31, were shipped tc other parts of the United States and a total of 163.251 board feet f sawed lumber, valued at S4 7S8, were shipped to foreigr countries.
 Allowing 90 years as TO lation period for pulpwood anf assuming the present virgil, timber to be entirely cut in thi period, approximately 1.5O0,oOc cords of wood of 600 board fee each can be removed from tht rongass National Forest yearl' in this period. This output ie sufficient to produce not less than 100000 tons of newsprint year, x ** a plan of forest management based on a sustain ed yield of 1,50O,0O0 cords Of lulpwood should be conserva- tive"
 NOTE: Under these figures. the estimated timber cut would be 90O,OOO,OOO per annum.l Un- der the present system, then, there is a waste of 852, ,578, ,000 board feet each year.. For ac- eording to MT. HeintzIeman perhaps three-fourths of the commercial timber of the region is (being) mature and overma- ture."
 Hemlock Supply and Production
 "The cut of western hemlock in the United States in 1928 was t.bout 1,55O,0OO,OOO board feet, and in Alaska 7,853,0O0 board feet.
 '"The total stand of western ,,emlock saw timber in the Unit ed States, including Alaska, is about 149, 1000, 100000 board feet of which 62,OOO 100000 board

Special Dispatch to The Star.
FAIRFAX. Va, August ia. c.
Ritchie of Fairfax, Judge Of the Court
of Juvenile and Domestic Relations,
has rendered his resignation to Judge
Walter Mccarthy, effective as soon as
his successor can be appointed.
Robert r. Buckley o: Clifton and
Fairfax, chairman of the Fairfax
County Board of Public Welfare, and
two of the boards members Miss
Matte Gundry Of Falls Church and
Mrs. J. Randall Cation Of Belle Haven
also have rendered their designations
effective Immediately.
Supervisors Action Blamed.
These designations are the result Of
the action taken by the county Board
of Supervisors last Wednesday in de-
Gliding to appoint a local superln-
tendept, in spite of the statement from
the State board in Richmond that
there is no one in Fairfax County
qualified. according to State standards,
to hold this position.
Judge Ritchie, who has served as
Juvenile judge since 1922, when the
State law creating such an ofnce be-
came effective, stated that he is not
actuated by any personal feeling in re-
gard to the supervisors appointee, Mrs
Eleanor Aud of Herndon, but that he
is not in sympathy with the boards
action in severing the local work from
control of the State Board of Public
welfare and in appointing any person
whom the State board does not con-
slider qualified by training and ex-
perience to handle the work started
by Mrs. Louise Manghum.
Should Be Free Of Politics.
The members of the board who are
resigning, have made it plain that they
feel they were appointed by Judge How
ard Smith to function under the terms
CT the State law; that the law Stipu-
lates that a local superintendent shall
be appointed by the lccal board only
from list of elgibles submitted by the
State board. They take the position
that the appointment should be free
from politics and that If the new super
intendent is to be appointed by and
held accountable to the Board Of Su-
psryisors there is no need for them TO
serve as an additional board.
Mrs. Louise Manghum. former super
intendent. who consented to act without
compensation as county probation OIL
ficer pending appointment OF her sue
cessor as superintendent, has rendered
her resignation to Judge Ritchie.
