ment that a total of 81 ,692, 49, from
forest highway funds had been
spent on roads directly serving this
community. This is 1872 per cent
of all forest service money spent in
Montana Major Kelley said, land
this district has only IL per cent
on the forest highway system"
The total amount spent for roads
to date in Kootenai National for
est is $3,330,787 and to complete
the highway system the total will
stand at approximately $4,960,O00.
The speaker warned his audience
not to be too disappointed if the
contract for the Troy bridge was
not let until after January / due to
technicalities.
At this point the speaker asked
for questions and James Mahoney,
county commissioner, asked the Ma
jor's opinion on making No. 2
military highway and made mo-
ton. that senators be contacted on
the matter, in connection with the
great defense program now in the
making. The motion will be con-
sdered by the board of directors
at meeting in the very near
future.
Major Kelley then switched his
subject and took up the matter of
Sustained Yield. He explained the
situation from the beginning when
a congressional committee convened
at Sun Valley in September of 1888.
He praised Carlton Joughin, club
member who attended the Portland
hearing and presented the picture
of the situation in this community.
Several recommendations of the
forest service to the forest congress
sional committee on sustained yield
were read by the Major, the bene-
fits Of which would >perpetuate for
estry and private enterprise. ~
Increase public contribution for fire
protection in private and state lands.
(2) A different plan of reimburse
ment of county in which national
forests are located in lieu of Is per
cent return in gross receipts. 90
State would liberalize system of
taxing of forest land, doing away
with state property tax and SUBJ
stituting severance tax. (4) That
there be aid given holders of pri-
vate stumpage for control Of tree
and insect diseases on $3.50 basis.
go Extension of federal land cred
its to industry at low interest rates.
(6) A Sustained Yield bill that
would authorize usuage of federal
stumpage as part of the Sustained
Yield system to be sold without
competition at not less than APP
praised value.
Major Kelley then gave few
pointers on the protection of the
public in such deal and gen.
eral discussion was held at the
close in which he told the group not
to be discouraged but to keep ham,
mering on the problem until results
are obtained He sighted the erec-
ton of Grand Coulee dam as a re-
suit Of consistent hammering and

RESIDENTS WITNESS
hoas Plane In Practice
BOMBING

Key WeSterS have been getting
some firSt-hand information on
what it will be like if an enemy
dive bomber attacks the Island
City.
The fighter plane attached to
the destroyer U. S. S. Noa has
been engaged in bombing prac-
tice for the past week, concen-
trating on Sand Island, off Porter
Dock.
From a height of about 1000
feet, the plane dives down to 200
feet and drops miniature bombs
containing very light powder
charge, sufficient only to leave a
smoke trace of the hits.
Incidentally, the crew of the
plane have been making some
good shots. Observations made
this morning from the shore tai
lied a number of direct hits made
on the island
The plane is an innovation on
destroyer-the NOa being the
only vessel with special boom
equipment to swing the plane to
the sea.
