Down Cellar

Cold weather with sub-Zero
temperatures has visited many
points in the United States this fall,
but Lincoln county and Libby have
enjoyed long, mild fall with con-
siderable rain and some snow but
no Zero weather and few hard
freezes. For the past week or ten
days however, the mercury has
been slipping down into the lower
teens, and the reading for the 18th,
showed a low of above. Tuesday
night was clear and frosty with no
wind stirring but early in the even
ing the thermometer started down
and was not stopped till sometime
during the night it reached de-
grees below Zero, 10 degrees at
least colder than it has been any
night this fall.
II the popular belief that cold
weather will put a stop to the flu
epidemic, is correct, there should be
little more flu this winter! Regard
less of the weather's effect on the
flu epidemic, the prevailing cpl
demic of traffic accidents is apt to
continue, for snow and ice remain
an ever present menace to the auto
mobile traveller.
During the past week 35 inches Of
snow has netted precipitation Of
.2l-in. there being a half-inch fall
On each, the 18th and 18th, 2.5-in.

carried ol8-in water content.

Discuss Forest
Utilization At
Group Meeting
l. V. Anderson, Chief of
Forest Utilization Forest
Service Guest Speaker
DISCUSSION SPONSORED
BY COUNTY LIBRARY

/. V. Anderson, Chief of the
Forest Utilization Service of the
Regional Forest Service Office at
Missoula. was the guest speaker at
the discussion group meeting Mon
day evening in the Community
Room The topic for the evening
was, Forest Industrial Possibilities
for This Area" and this was the
fourth meeting in the series being
sponsored by the Lincoln County
Free Library in conjunction with
the Montana Study.
AS an introduction Mr.. Anderson,
as a representative Of the Forest
Products Laboratory at Madison,
Wisconsin, explained this govern
ment institution and the scope of its
work. There are seven units of the
laboratory in different sections of
the country, one of which is in
Missoula.
A chart entitled, Montana For
ests-Present and Possible Use"
: was displayed and discussed. 1t
showed the allowable annual cut,
the present annual cut, and the pos
sible use of the various species of
trees found in our state. The fact
that the cutting of white and Pom
derosa pine will need to be cur
tailed in order to maintain a sus-
tanned yield is an important fact.
Larch, Douglas fir, Engelmann
spruce, hemlock, balsam fir. and
lodgepole pine need to expand III
the primary manufacture of them.
To make this economically possible
new uses for these latter species are
being developed. Mr.. Anderson dis
cussed several possibilities and ex-
planned a number of samples OF
wood that had been treated in var
ious ways to make commercial pro-
ducts. Among the samples were
Commercial Impreg, Laboratory
Impreg, Staypack, Illuminated Com
preg-impreg Pagreg, Lignin plastic,
Sandwich construction piece OF
wood, and a miniature Eliminated
arch. 1t was amazing to hear OF
the different properties and uses OF
the various items and to visualize
their future use for general pur-
poses.
Many factors enter into the man
agement of the forest. Insect and
disease losses, rather high in some
sections, can be curtailed only if
there are roads enough to make the
infected stands accessible for treat
ment and cutting. Through wise
management the life Of lodgepole
as well as other more valuable
species can be prolonged.
Utilization of the forest depends
upon the economy of the uses. Size
of the timber has definite effect,
the smaller the tree the higher the
cost in ratio.
For this area soft wood plyWood,
telephone ana telegraph poles, and
fence posts, are practical and as the
new laboratory products are made
possible commercially they will add
to the possible local industries.
However it is a long way from the
laboratory product to an economical
commercial product.
The group attending the meeting
felt fortunate to have Mr.. Anderson
present and expressed their appre-
citation Of his giving of time and
knowledge. Those present were
Mr.. Anderson, Art Bowman, J. Il.
Whitman, Chas. D. Rowe. W. r.
Littell, George Neils, Mr.. and Mrs.
O. L. Gillespie, George Earle, Ro-
bert Hileman, Hugh Slauson, Archie
Pattie. Orlo Johnson and Inez
Ratekin.
