Episcopal Church, today acknowl-
edged the action of the bishop and
chapter of the Washington Cathe-
dral in extending to him and his
successors the use of the Cathedral.

this reason that it was chosen as
the place for the installation of
the presiding bishop"
Bishop Sheriff. added, Il am
sensible of the importance and the
dignity of the privileges which the
chapters action gives the presiding
bishop, and am grateful for them" :"

The latter was subsequently done
by the Cathedral chapter.

Washington of his find and the
document is on its way home.

.struction may begin next year
 If the sale is held early enough for surveys to begin this year, pro duction may begin in 1850. Thus the 50-year contract would carry into the year of 200O.
 Up To Congress
 When the sale can be held de- bends upon the action of Congress on a joint resolution to authorize the Secretary of Agriculture to sell timber within the Tongass Ma tional Forest in Alaska while claims of Alaska Indians and other natives to such land and timber remain undetermined.
 Under that proposal, all receipts from such sales would be main tained in a special treasury ac- count until land and timber rights are finally settled. The Senate Public Lands Subcommittee is con- ducting a hearing on the measure this week and the House held its second hearing on the subject yes terday.
 Timber Included
 The timber included in the Pet ersburg contract includes 1,50O,- O0O.0OO cubic feet, of which 75 per cent is western hemlock and more than 20 per cent sitka spruce with small quantities of intermixed Alaska cedar and western red eed- ar. .An estimated 15 per cent may be found more available for manu- lecture into lumber. plywood, shingles or piling than as pulp wood.
 The area embraces about 100000 acres of commercial timber out of an estimated 5,O00,OOO or 5000, 900 such acres in the Tongass For est.
 Heintzleman said there are five or six other units in Southeast AL aska for which similar contracts might be- written. They include one or two in the Juneau area, one near Sitka and two in the Ketchi- kan area.

 A bottle and note, the bottle (and note) still fragrant with the smell of its former contents, was brought into The Sentinel office by Roy Crogg and M. E. Hammer, who found the mysterious eommun- ication floating in Burnett Inlet.
 Il was found May 27, 1947 and contains the following message:
 This bottle is thrown in the Pacific Ocean on June II, l94G from the S.S. La Grande Victory, carrying troops from Korea to the good U. s. A"
 IL was signed by a crew member whose named. difficult to deeipher. seems to be John Bruyfever. It appears possible, from the writing that the inscriber may have assist ed in helping to empty the bottle before penning the note. The note concludes by requesting that the closest newspaper please be advised and asks all other newspapers to copy.

Other sportsmen camped in the Skilak Lake area moved to the southwest side of the river. Al though the stream Is 300 yeards wide it was feared the blaze might jump it should a high wind arise.
