"Tho United States forestry de

This timber Is all within Douglas

sometime next month. Standing tim
ber brings from $1.25 to $3.00 per
thousand, depending upon tho anxi
ety of tho bidders and tho need of
tho lumber markets. $2.00 a thous
and Is a safe average and on this
basis the government wilt renllzo tho
sum of $320,000.00 from tho sale
next month of timber within the
Umpqun forest. This fact, howovor,
would not be significant within Itself
for tho motiov would bo deposited
In the United States treasury to bo
used there In tho department of for
est. The significant fact about this
salo Is that 25 por cent of this
amount goes to Douglns county for
school nnd rond purposes and anoth
er 10 per cent for rond purposes
alone. That Is slgulllcaut and also
pertinent. This means that Douglas
county will receive from this sale
tho sum of $81,500 for ronds and
schools and an additional sum of
$32,000 for ronds ulono a totnl of

will dump Into Douglns county nt
