FORESTS GAIN
LARGE ACREAGE
SERVICE MAKES ELEVEN LAND
EXCHANGES WITH PRIVATE
OWNERS IN PAST YEAR
Total Value of Area Included I'm 24s
Trades Over Period of 16 Years Is
Given AS 100000 by Meyer Fl. Wolff,
Regional Official

Adding thousands of productive
acres and eliminating conflicting
Ownerships in the IL national for
estS of this region, ii land ex-
changes were cOnsummated be-
tween the forest service and
private owners during the past
| fiscal year.
AS announced by Meyer H. Wolff,
| regional chief of the division of lands,
last years activity brought the number
of cases cOnsummated, since national
forest land exchange work began 16
years ago. to a total of 248-involving
! lands and timber with a total value
in excess of $800,0 900. Recently COM
piled records show that since 1922
when authority for exchanging ma
tional forest land or stumpage for
privately owned lands of equal value
inside national forests of this region
have gained to the extent of 259, 491
acres of forest productive land and ap-
proximately 400 million board feet Of
merchantable stumpage.
For .264 acres of private lands
bearing more than 500 million board
feet of merchantable stumpage offered
for exchange inside national forest
boundaries of the region, the forest
service since 1922 has given 131 ,773
acres of selected land plus 20625, 600
board feet of merchantable timber.
BY states it is shown that in the IL
national forests of Montana 274,594
acres have been added to the federal
reserves in exchange for 1902 acres
Of national forest land and 47110,000
board feet of timber; and in the five
forests of northern Idaho and north
eastern Washington 1850 acres Of
private lands have been accepted in
exchange for 2,750 acres Of national
forest lands and 7S,515,000 board feet
AS Stated by Wolff, the main OBJ
iectiveS in making land exchanges in
the national forests is to enlarge the
timber producing capacity of the feo-
eral reserves and to create the best
possible conditions for management
protection and utilization of lands
chiefly valuable for forest purposes.
Elimination, through exchange, Of di-
verse and conflicting ownership with
in natural units of forest management
and operation materially facilitates
forest administration.
When merchantable national forest
timber Is given in exchange for prt-
vate lands, cutting of the timber must
be accomplished according to methods
perpetuating forest production which
tends to stabilize employment In forest
communities In lieu of taxes which
might have accrued had lands received
in exchange remained in private own
ership, the counties in which the ma
tional forest lie get IS percent Of all
revenue derived by the federal govern
ment for use Of roads and schools. An
additional 10 percent returns for con-
struction and maintenance of forest
roads and trails.

 One day last week he walked down to the stream to catch a mess of fish, and there was the bear, wearing Bills rubber boots on his hind feet to keep from getting wet. The boots were well drawn up over the bears knees, and he was enjoying himself immensely.

Irish Lass Refuses to Go
Back to Native Lund
Fy the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 10.-The
luck of the Irish ran true to form
today for a pretty, blue-eyed lass
who rebelled against returning to
her native land.
Safe in the home of an uncle and
aunt, 16-year-old Ann Clark en-
visioned a future linked with the
country she loves.
The rest of the Clark clan eagerly
boarded ship in New York for the
Emerald Isle.
Ann bolted two nights ago when
her father, James. an unemployed
carpenter. announced a job in Dub
lin for him. and instructed his
family to pack up.
Seven youngsters scramed delight,
but Ann stomped out of the house,
shouting Il won't go back to Ire
land" She insisted she would much
prefer to jump in the ocean.
When immigration officers found
her yesterday at the home of a
friend. she had dyed her raven
tresses red and acquired synthetic
freckleS. But her eyes were still
blue and they still flashed defiance.
The authorities decided to let her
stay.
