Sale Is Large The'unlt sold In this forest em braces 15,700 acres with an aver- ago stand of 44,000 feet .'per acre, 90 per cent of which is Douglas fir. , Under the management plana for this sale the timber will be cut at the rate of about 60,000,000 board feet per year. "This IncrcaBo in the national forest sales, particularly In the three Pacific coast states whore the volume of current buslnoss is heaviest, Is striking evidence of the continued and increasing west ward movement of the lumber in dustry from the cut-over regions of the east," says Mr. Moses.

An indication of this is that tho avcrago stumpage price in 1924 stands at $2.70 per 1000 board feet, as compared with (2.20 In 1920, and $2.08 in 1915. . rp T" ' A "XT I ) ) r I x Vf -'; Ily ARTHUR BIHSBANE (Copyright, 111'.'., by Star Company) lou see money displaying ita pow er in the fight to uphold child Inbor here In the United Htates.
