HARRY UTLEY HAS FACTS STRAIGHT
Some days ago we criticized here an editorial on the pro
posed ShevJin-Hixon timber exchange that had appeared in
the Oregon City Banner-Courier and then reprinted, with ap
parent approval, in the Lakeview Examiner. It was too full
of error and mistake of fact, we felt, to try to make correc
tion. Now, however, we find in the Examiner a communication
nn thfl subject from Harrv Utley. of Lakeview, which does a
good job of setting right the two papers mentioned and we
want to quote from it. We regret that the letter is too long
to reprint in full and we are glaa tnat mere is someoony in
Lake county who sees the timber exchange proposal in its
proper light and has his facts straight. Here are some of the
things Mr. Utley says :
I think the editor of the Oregon City Banner-Courier that
wrote the article that appeared in their paper and was re
printed in the Lake County Examiner of March 1, 1045, did
not know the score, and I want to take issue against it.
Editorial says "The trading of timber for tut-over land
by the forest service is to no one's advantage except the two
trading parties the general public suffers financial loss."
The forest service represents the general public. If it is to
the lorest service's advantage It is to the public's advantage.
If the general public suffers financial loss then the forest
service suffers financial loss.
Editorial says "by the trade the forest service gets many
acres of cut-over land in trade for a lew acres 01 timbered
land." The forest service trades ripe timber for the cut-over
land and timber. It does not trade a few acres of timber land.
Editorial says "Here is the rub -when the Bend com
pany logs the Clackamas county property acquired In the
trade ..." The Bend company did not acquire any county
property In the trade or any other land In Clackamas county
and will not log any timber In that county.
Editorial says "And, when the tracts are logged, the com
pany either trades the stump patch' back to the forest
service for more timber elsewhere, or lets it go to the state
. under the reforestation plan." The tracts in Clackamas
county that will be logged are national forest land and will
be cut in accordance with proper management practices
under the supervlsion-of the forest service. There will be no
"Stump patch to trade back to the forest service." ,
Editorial says "Furthermore, according to the county
court, no notice of the proposed trade was furnished It by
the forest service In accordance with the federal law whicn
provides for such transactions." The statement implies
that the forest service in order to comply with the federal
law must furnish the county court with notice of such a pro- .
posed trade. There is no such requirement in the federal
law. ,
The writer .has been dealing with the forest service ever
since It was created. Starting 40 years ago in Fremont
county, Idaho, Lylc Watts, our present Chief Forester, was
our forest supervisor there. In all these -years I have found
that among employees of the forest service their first
thought is: Will It be a benefit to the general publie? The,,
forest service is criticized by many people.- The great masses
In the cities say that the National Forests faVor the luhtber-'
' men and also state they are allowing the stockmen to over
graze the National Forest lands and they don't look out for
the recreattonlst and wild life. While some of the stockmen
. say that the National Forest is not fair; they want to save
all the feed for the deer and wild life and will not permit
more stock on the National Forest lands. But when you
come to analyze the whole thing you will find that it is like
a governor of a western state told me a few days ago, with
all of the government bureaus the forest service in his
opinion is the best. One lumberman told me a few days ago .
that If he could not exchange the cut-over timber land with
a residual stand of timber marked and cut according to the
forest service plan then he would have to clean out the
tlrrfber and move out. In other words, cut out and get out,
the same as lumbermen have done from Maine, Michigan,
Wisconsin, Minnesota and on to Oregon, Washington and
California where the last great stand of timber is left in this
grand old U. S. A.
While I have no timber lands in Lake county to exchange,
I am in favor of that law. I have always said that the county
should receive more than 25 per cent of the National Forest
receipts and I have always advocated when these private
lands are traded to the National Forests and taken off the
tax roll that the government should pay to the county at
least 10 cents per acre or some equal amount so it will not
upset the tax structure of the county. In my opinion this
will be taken care of very shortly so let's not throw any
more monkey wrenches into the machinery. If we're work
ing for a sustained yield, let's encourage selective cutting. If
we are not friendly with the forest policies, there is nothing
to prevent them from converting funds for roads, range
development, recreational development to some other Na
tional Forest that is working with them and appreciate what
they are trying to do.

THE AMULET
III
I left Magda Calavestri and
Booker standing there together
and walked across the lobby to
join Charley.
"Come," I said.- "Let's get out
of here."
"Who on earth are those peo
ple?" he asked.
Never mind that now. Where s
your car?
Just around the corner. But I
thought we might mull a bit over
an old-fashioned."
'Not here, Charley." I shook
my head. "Let's go down to the
yacht club."
After Charley had his drink we
sat in the lounge of winter quar
ters of the Sandy Point Yacht
club looking out over T wharf at
the harbor lights. Except for two
somewhat dispirited c r i b b a g e
players in the corner, we were
alone. Charley had in his hand the
object that Calavestri had given
me. He held it up between his
fingers and whistled softly.
"Nicholas, Nicholas," he said
and shook his head.
I stared at the thing. It was a
kind of gold amulet, shaped like
a maltese cross. In its center was
set the most beautiful diamond
I had ever seen large and- ex
quisitely cut. Fire-lights flashed
out from the stone.
"Nick, what do you suppose
this is worth?" Charley asked.
"A life or two," I said.
Charley turned and stared.
"What's this all about, or isn't
it any of my business?"
"The man with Calavestri " I
began and Charley put down the
amulet.
"Calavestri!" he said.
"That's right. Why?"
"Nothing." Charley smiled
weakly. "It just frightens me a
little; that's all.'
the meal he asked me pontifical
questions about the war. But he
did not listen to the answers. He
assumed quite sensibly that 30
missions over Europe and an ex
perience with a rocket bomb
would throw little light upon the
economic and financial affairs of
Europe.
He considered my 16 months In
the air force a footless junket
that was largely due to youth and
irresponsibility. When he left us
in tne library, he looked at me
with an expression intended to
convey parental sterness and
said:
"Well, Nicholas, now that
you're back with us, I hope you've
botten over your little foolish
nesses and are ready to settle
down."
I thought of Calavestri's amu
let in my pocket and shuddered.
Pat and I sat for a few mo
ments in silence. Then she asked:
"What did you do this after
noon, Nick?"
"I slept."
"Oh." Pat looked thoughtful.
"Why?"
"I just wondered." Pat frowned, j
"I was thinking of that strange-
looking chap at the pier. I thought
perhaps you might have seen him
again."
Who, Booker?" I took out my
pipe and ran my thumb along the
shiny grain of the bowl. "What
makes you think that?"
"Nothing," Pat made a gesture
with her hands. "Just a woman's
intuition."
"As a matter ftf fact, I did see
Booker," I said.
Pat was fingering the jeweled
pendant of her necklace. Now her
hand stopped and her knuckles
whitened as she gripped the neck
lace tightly.
"What about, Nick?"
"I merely ran into him in the
lobby of the Parker House."
"Who is he anyway?"
"A casual of the war, I guess.
I think he was evacuated from
the Low countries."
"He has the look of a jackal.'
Pat shuddered. "I don't like him."
The doorbell rang. In the si
lence we stared at each other and i
then I heard Simms s step as he
crossed the hall. Pat looked at me
carefully.
"Oh," she said, "I forgot to tell
you. That must be Eric. He asked
if he might come over tonight."
"lonignt?" i asked. "Did -he

LET'S HAVE THE ANSWER
(The Oregonian)
Oregon has complete faith In

United States District Judge
Claude McColloch. When such an
official feels it necessary to 'em
barrass himself with such a state
ment as that which lie Issued on
Friday in connection with the

of the people of this state will
want the matter pursued to tho
end no matter how unsavory
that end may be.
In other words, a trusted judge
makes startling charges. And
every decent citien will want the
truth. If under the cover of the
war emergency, "greedy men and
recreant public officials" have
been at work, they are worse trai
