Will Davis, a first cousin of my
fathers, their mother being sis

MI. Davis was a gentleman O
ardent and rather fiery tempera'

sometimes displayed in warm con

ran high. Not being a Republican

of Moore Fields. This lady sur

continued to reside at Pleasan'
Hall, where she exercised the
most unbounded benevolence ane
kindness to many relatives in re.
duced circumstances.
Her house was always full and
was ~proverbial as the home of the

CHRISTMAS TREE
 CUTTING ADVICE
 BY FOREST SEnv

The Admiralty Division Office oi the United States Forest Service in Juneau states that many inquiries have been received about the right to cut Christmas trees from lands accessible to the Glacier Highway.
 The policy concerning the cut ting of trees for the home use of the person cutting, or for churches or fraternal organizations, is that such trees can be cut from Ma tional Forest land without prior approval of a Forest Officer, pro yided the trees are not cut from any point within POO feet of the read. or from designated recreation- al areas, such as Aux Village area.
 The purpose of this restriction is to help preserve the natural beauty of tl1e Glacier Highway and un- controlled cutting over period of years would seriously mar appear ance Of the roadside
 Persons cutting trees are request cd to make sure they are satisfied with a particular tree before 1t is cut. During the past few years. Forest Service officials have mo- ticed an increase in the number of trees wasted by being cut and then discarded in favor of more de- sirable one found later
 Christmas tree cutters should al- so remember that many tracts of privately owned land border the highway, and that the first Ma tional Forest land to be crossed by the road is located seven miles from Juneau Permission to take trees from privately-owned areas must, Of course, be obtained from the owner
 The Division Supervisors Of- flee, Room 315, Federal Building will gladly give advice on whether
The Daily Alaska empire., 1946-12-13

or not particular tract is Ma tional Forest land.
 Cutters planning to sell Christ mas trees must secure permit from the Forest Service before any cutting is done and the operations must be conducted in accordance with the timber sale requirements ol the Forest Service. A charge of five cents per tree is made, with l minimum of $3.
 There are practically no areas adjacent to Juneau on National Fcrest land that contain suitable Christmas trees in substantial quantities. Some of the best areas f Christmas trees are on the Men denhall flats outside of the recre- 4tion area.
