Elder UosBid
On Timberland
J. K. Elder, Portland lumber
man, who has made two preced
ing bids, one of $135,000 and
one of $150,000, has now filed
a written proposal with the
county court upping his previ
ous offers to $180,000 to por
tions of two sections of timber
land in the Sardine creek basin
in the Cascades. He offers to
make this in three payments,
one on signing the contract, one
in two years and one in three
years, all of $60,000 each.
County Judge Grant Murphy
said that the bid is being for
warded on to the state forestry
department.
"The bid," said the judge, "is
irregular in a number of par
ticulars. In the first place it
should be directed to the state
forestry department instead of
the county court. In the second
place it is a bid for the land
as well as the timber on it and
I am under the impression the
forestry department accepts bids
for timber only and doesn't sell
any of the timber land.
"In the third place, I am un
der the impression that the de
partment accepts bids only
where payments are to be made
as the timber is removed. Un-
der the bid proposed of the three
yearly payments it might be pos
sible for the timber to be all
removed in the first or second
year with still a payment or two
due after the land had been
denuded. But, at any rate, the
matter of the sale of this tim
ber is up to the forestry depart
ment and not the county court.
Should the forestry department
decide to sell It Marion county
would be entitled to 75 percent
of the proceeds.
"I will say," added the judge,
"that I think the $180,000 fig
ure may be getting up some
where to approximate what the
timber is worth."

Glacier Priest
Sees North Pole
New York, Nov. 12 (IP) One
of the most "entrancingly terri
ble sights on earth," says the
Rev. Bernard R. Hubbard, is the
North Pole.
ratner Hubbard, known as
the glacier priest," has spent 23
years in the arctic. He has just
returned to the United States to
teach geology at Santa Clara
university, Santa Clara, Calif.
The 61-year-old priest gave a
graphic description yesterday of
the North Pole area, which he
said probably never has been
reached by anyone on foot.
"At 90 degrees north latitude,
where the pole should be, there
is only a nightmare jigsaw puz
zle of ice floes," he said. "Year
around, the ice is about 20 feet
thick. It floats in an ocean av
eraging 600 feet deep. Buffeted
by strong currents and tremen
dous circular winds that whirl
across the polar ice pack, these
jigsaw pieces make no fixed
pattern."
