Appointment of conference commit

Washington and California for the
purpose of talking over the framing
of a uniform and satisfactory head
light law for the three, states and the
possibility of other uniform motor
regulations will be urged at the com

the opinion expressed today by Sen

Mr. Magladry lias just returned
from California where be tislted tho
-state motor' department and obtained
date on the laws of that state per
tainlng to motor car regulation.
"One proposed law -that will be
taken up with the Oregon legislators
is to provide for a certificate of own
crsliip to prevent, car theft. This Inw
is in force in California and It hns re
sulted in tho cutting down of 'motor
thievery about fifty per-ccnt, It io
estimated," Mr. Magladry said.
Show Evidence.
"The law provides that each car
owner when he applies for a license
must show evidence of ownership.
Tho certificate provided by tho state
must be signed when tho car is trans
ferred and when the llcenso is trans
ferred tbe certificate must be shown
to prove legal transfer from the for
mer owner," the senator states.
That' uniform motor laws for. the
three const states owing to the big
increase in' interchange of traffic
would be, a great advantage is the
opinion expressed by many legisla
tors of the three states, Mr. Maglad
ry snid. '

SALES RAISE 1924
Lane county did Its share In
contributing t.o the heaviest tim
lior onion recorded in history in
the .147 national forests of! the
United States, according to Arthur
Moses of the Cascade national for
est office. Oregon Btood sixth
among'the 24 states and territories
containing national forest lands
In the amount ol timber cut dur
ing tho calondar year, and one of
this state's outstanding timber
sales of the year was made In the
Cascade forest.
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.
Stumpage Price Up
, The average stumpage price re
ceived In sales of timber, although
govcrnod from yoar to year by
the accessibility and quality of
the stumpage placed under con
tract, Is gradually rising, the ro
port shows.
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. .
