Motor Transport
Widely Depended
Upon Over State

RALEIGH, Dec. 10. (UP).-A
little more than 40 per cent of
North Cardinals 1926 commune
ties depend entirely upon motor
transport service. In Virginia,
more than half the communities
are without railroad facilities.
Because of remotenesS and the
great expense to construct rail-
roads, these communities never
have known what a railroad is and
probably never will know.
A survey by the Automobile
Manufacturer Association OF
America revealed that in North
Carolina there are 1S9,038 per-
sons who depend entirely upon
motor transport service. while
266,661 persons in Virginia are
without railroad service.
There are Is other states with
greater percentage of persons
using highways than North Caro-
lima. Virginia ranks fourth in
using it's highways and being with
out railroad facilities.
North Carolina is almost the
nations average, rating 40.4 per
cent, while 1916 per cent of all
communities in the United States
are without railroad transporta-
ton.
These figures were relative to
1882, the last official census
taken by the association.
Over a period of seven years,
the u. S. Bureau of Public Roads
reported to the association that
90,S17 trailers-light and heavy
were registered in North Caro-
lima. Virginia registered upwards
of $4,000.
The big registration in North
Carolina was due particularly, 1t
was pointed out, to extensive tim
Der operations. When it became
cheaper to haul timber out of the
mountains by motor truck than by
building railroads, the trailer be-
cam ca part of the logging indus
try.
The increase in the trailer reg
istration was great from 1928 to
J 1895. In 1928 only 1914 were
| registered in the state. By 1913!
the total had reached S,llS and
in 1885 registrations struck nigh
29, $3.50. -.
In Virginia, there were 64o
trailers registered in 1928, In
1881 there were 1852, ana ~
1885 a peak of 5000 was reacnea.
From 1928 to 1885 there was was
only a slight increase in NUMBER
of buses in the state. Virgins
likewise, showed only a small LII. In
crease. In 1928 there were l,ss I 4
3,6S8 buses. The 1883 to os
showed a registration OF Sao 2,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. (UP).
Impelled by the threat of war in
Europe, administration leaders
last night planned to seek quick
enactment by the new congress of
a permanent neutrality law giyinc
the president broader powers to
Keep this country out of foreign
conflicts. ... =.
Chairman Sam D. McReynolds.
D.. Tenn, of the house foreign al
fairs committee, said he would in
troduce the new legislation imme-
diately after congress convenes
January 5 and hoped for passage
by February l. He already has
discussed its provisions with Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
Disturbed world conditions, Nc
Reynolds said, make quick action
imperative to solidify the present
temporary neutrality law which
expires May /. This law empow-
ers the president to embargo ship
ment of arms to nations at war
and bans loans or credits to bel
ligerents. -,
' McReynold's new bill would
give the president additional 'au-
thoiity to: ......,
1. Restrict shipments of mater
ials like oil or cotton that might
be used for war purposes.
2. Forbid commercial transac-
tions with nations at war by Amer
lean citizens except at their own
risk if such commerce might tend
to involve this nation.
3. Apply provisions of the act
in case of a ramificd civil war
such as SPANS.

PWA and WPA AILOtments
Made for st. Louis COuntu.

Allotmnets approved by the Public
Works Administration up to November
l, 1886, for St. Louis county totaled
$3,075, 498 providing for the conStruc-
ton of 10 projects at an estimated cost
of $6,068, 122 according to the infor-
nation received by Roland Hill, acting
state director of the National Emer-
gency Council
In connection with this non-federal
program PWA has made allotmentS in
Minnesota totaling S21, 0O2 ,429 since July
10, 1888. This sum made possible
program covering the construction of
255 projects estimated to cost $47, Ale, 1852
The contributions of the state and its
localities in furthering this large work
program aggregate $26,413, 723. Up to
November /, 100 projects were COM
pleted
Under Title II of the National In
dustrial Act of 1888, PWA grants were
limited to thirty per cent of the actual
construction cost of the project; and
under the Emergency Relief Appropri-
alton Act of 1885, the grant was in
creased to forty-five per cent of the
total cost of project The balance, 1000

Approximately 10000 acres of tim
bered land will be improved during this
eighth enrolment period by cutting out
inferior trees that interfere with the
growth of the more valuable species,
and by thinning out timber stands
that are too thick for satisfactory de-
velopment. In many cases the lower
limbs of the white pines will be cut off
in order to eliminate knots when these
trees are sawed into lumber many years
hence
According to forest officers many COM
pleted projects now exist in the Superior
national forest that will stand per-
manently as monuments to sound con-
servation. New lookout towers are
reaching high above the forest trees,
hundreds of miles of trails and per-
tages aid in the protection, admins
tration and enjoyment of the forest.
Bridges, warehouses, and ranger stations
testify to the accomplishments of the
CCC lads, while on the planted areas
great pine trees will stand 100 years
from now proving that the management
OF the forest has been based on the
sound policy of a restoration of the
natural resources.

Forest Notes
lBy FOREST oFFIcE)

The cutting of timber on private
lands within the newly acquired ranger
districts in the Superior national forest
still requires that cutting notice be sub
mitted to the State Forester at st. Paul,
according to Ranger St. Amant of this
city.
1.-The only difference in logging regu-
lations," explained Mr.. st. Amant re-
GENTLY, "is that the Federal ranger
issues the slash disposal notices, and
inspects this phase of the work instead
of state ranger when the cutting falls
inside of the Superior forest bound
aries"
Federal forest officers recently stated
that since the state has left the Wales
area in Federal jurisdiction many of the
local loggers are at loss to know who
should receive their cutting notices.
According to the Supervisors office,
Duluth, a state law requires that a
notice containing the name of the
operator, address and full description
of the lands to be cut must be posted
in conspicuous place in camp build
ing, or if no buildings are to be erected
the notice must be posted at the north
west corner of each 40 acre subdivision
or at the nearest corresponding point
in each fractional subdivision.
A copy of this notice with statement
of the products to be cut and the forest
officer responsible for inspecting the dis
posal of slash must be sent to the state
forester before cutting begins. The
minimum fine imposed by this law for
failure to conform with these regula-
tions is $25.

almost entirely of schools, sewers, sew
age disposal plants and water works.
The remainder of the projects are most
ly confined to road and street con-
struction, to hospitals, court houses and
libraries.
The PWA program is responsible not
only for bringing about the conStruc-
ton of highly useful projects in Min
nesota, but also for making material
contributions toward eliminating un-
employment. In addition to large scale
direct employment furnished at the
site of construction, Minnesota received
a large amount of indirect employment
in view of the fact that materials were
purchased in this state for use in con-
nection with projects not only in Min
nesota but in other states as well.
Minnesota industries which were par
ticularly benefited by the PWA program

from whose store they were stolen. did
not prove very profitable in Askov, even
though the knives were offered at a
great bargain. Prices had been re-

with an open fire place for use during
rainy weather.
The major work in live life manage
hent during this enrolment period will
consist of a survey of the lakeSya pro-
ject that was started two years ago.
This work will be nearly completed
during the present winter and will give
detailed information necessary for the
intelligent management of these bodies
of water for beaver, muSkrats, migra-
tory birds and fish planting. A census
Of deer recently completed showed an
increase in these game animals, as did
the grouse census. Three more ponds
are being worked on at the Cascade
rearing ponds station where trout are
cared for in the summer, and released
in the forest steams during the fall.
Several log bridges will be completed
during the winter months. Increased
use of the forest roads both by the
forest service and by tourists have
necessitated stronger and more attrac-
tive bridges. One-third of a million
tourists travelled through the Superior
both last year and the year before.
The surfacing and improvement of some
of the roads will be carried no through
out the winter making their use more
efficient in case Of fire, and safer for
tourists. The upper part of the Gum
flint trail that is being improved by
Seagull camp has been so narrow and
hot or, III
enjoy the unusual natural beauty of
that part of the forest.
Rodent control will be continued
throughout the forest to protect the
plantations from rabbit damage These
small animals have accounted for ex-
tensive losses in planted areas.
The regular activities of an inten-
sively managed forest will be continued.
The dwellings, offices, warehouses, gar
ages and other buildings will be COM
pleted for the Temperance, Isabella
and Partridge River ranger districts, as
well as for the two large forest nur-
series located at Two Harbors and
Eveleth. Planting and transplanting at
these nurseries occupied the time of
large number of CCC boys during the
early part of october while the rest of
the workers on the forest were engaged
in the regular planting projects. Both
Sawbill and Northern Light camps will
conduct timber salvage projects where
large volumes of timber either killed in
former fires, or wind thrown, will be
hauled out of the woods and sawed into
lumber by the use of portable mills.
On several of the plantations inferior
or decadent hardwoods will be partly
removed this winter to provide more
light and better growing conditions for
the young pine and spruce trees. Sur
veys are in constant progress through
out the forest providing detailed infor-
nation for use by the trained foresters
in the management of their timber
stands. Every project requires detailed
information, and CCC youths aid in
gathering these data at the same time
learning the underlying principles of
forest practices. A number of boys are
used by the Lake States Experiment
Station located on the Stoney ranger
district, and have an opportunity to
learn some of the fine points of forestry
