Korest Horvlce, Portland, Ore. Koorontlcu plans are to be class ified Into three groups, according te: outstanding scenic beauty and re croutlonnl reseurces: secondary scen ic finality but high recreational val ue; (delated trocts suitable for camp ing or slopping places. Under tho first olaao will ha lu rlMtU.t regions whlelt should lit ad miniatured for tholr outstanding scaulo feature or for promotion of their recreational use. Koreated lands, rlvurs and streams and ill vurslflad country not ohlofly scenic, but having a high value for camping, fishing. htinthiK. and similar pur suits will be Included In the second claaa. Wooded or WHluralUt tracts not coming under the first or tucnud class, but sorrlug tliu purpoMs of temporary numpa for passing tourists will fall In elaaa Hire. Title vruup will also Inoluile natural summer homoalliw. "This survey ami olaaslfloatlon Is an Iwportaut first step in carrying out tliu program of the Outdoor Con furouuu." said thu District Porostor. in couiuienllng on the cooperation of the Purest Kervloe hi compiling the Information. "Of course, In class ifying Kntlonal Poroat areas for re creation purposes, we will apply the established Forest Horvluo policy of highest use, giving duo weight to timber production, grazing and wat ershed protect Ion. At the same tlmo wo will recognise the Importance of providing opportunities for outdoor recreation for the average American. The PoreHts can make a dlsthico con tribution to the physical vigor, moral btrongth and clean simplicity of mind of the American people." "Although the twenty-two Nation al ForoHta or Oregon and Washington are enjoyed annually by ihIUIohh of people, the public should not forget that the primary purpose or tuo .-National PorestH Is the growing of Urn bor crops. It follows naturally that H tree crops are grown they uro to ho harvested iuul the product, whloh Ih lumber, put to use. and tho ground kept growing more tree crops. He creation on the Nutlonal Forosta will continuo to bo an Important hut a minor uhu as compared to tho grow ing of trees.

LAND OFFICE NOT LIKE LY TO BE ABOLISHED Recommendation of Secretary of Interior Disapproved by Con gress, Sayo Telegram. Heglstor James Douegau of the U. H. laud olllcu at thin place Tues day received a telegram from Con gressman N'lclc Hluuott to the elTecl that the house appropriations com mittee on tho recommendation of the .Secretary of the Interior had report ed a hill abolishing :tl) laud olllces, Including Hums and I. a (Intuitu. On Thursday Congressman Hlu uott sent another wlru slating that thu house In committee uf thu whole adoptetl by amendment striking out the provision of abolishing the laud olllces referred to. The telegram further stated that a roll call would consider the matter further when the bill got hack In thu housu prob ably today or Monday. It Is considered unlikely iliat ihu recommendation will be given fur ther consideration at this time, es pecially when it Is known that the IturiiH land district embraces :i,r.OO, 000 acres of vacant laud and that practically one thousand hoiuestuad entries are now pending before this local laud olllcu. -o- THIAh OP TODY ooixn on AT VAM-: According to the HoIho Mtatusinaii that was received In this city yes terday morning considerable trouble has been found In securing a Jury for the trial of Archie Cody who killed Sheriff Woodman, which was started at Vale on last Tuesday.

MAIL YOUR CHRISTMAS PACKAGES EARLY Hope to Make "Shop Early" and "Mail Early" Habit Willi The American People. Last year, through tho gouorotiH cooperation or the prtms, the movies and other advertising medluuiH, ChrlHlmiiH mallem wore Induced to dispatch tholr Yulotltle proHoutH ear lier In the month than ever before In the ItlHtory or the luiitltutlou of girt exchanging In the holiday noa son. An a result, the spectacle or the hist minute rush or former yearn, with Its attendant heartbreaking la bor on the part of wearied and nerve worn store clerks and postal um ployoiui, was avoided. This year Postmaster (louoral Now and First Assistant Postmaster J- oral John II. Uartlett have do-tk-rmluod to make an even better record anil to banish for all tlmo the suffering undergone In past years by those engaged In the sale or transportation of girts. Thoy hope to make "Hhop Parly" and "Mall Parly" a habit with the Amer ican people. Mailing early does not mean De cember 1 or before, hut If everyone could get their holiday tokens In the mall between December 10 and De cember 20, the post olllco could not ask more. Particular attention this year will bo paid to greeting cards. Despite the success last year It was noted that the last minute mall consisted largely of cards. Possibly many or them wore returned ruothiRH to friends, hoard from on a previous mall, hut overlooked nu the original Christmas list. Unlike parcels and Writers containing money) orders, cards, or course, can not well bo marked "Do Not Open Until Christ mas." Therefore, It Is possible that the many mailers hold them until the last to Insure delivery on Christ mas Ifive. This class or mailers this year, however, may Mud their cards undelivered until after Christina Day Helluvlug that the energies of postal employees should not be sap ped to the last degree for any avoid able reason, and. Intent upon secur ing for them the same Christmas privileges enjoyed by others, Post master (louoral Now askB tho hearty cooperation or tho public. Tho Insl mlnute, or storo hour linn boon mov t up so that all postal empIoyooH may out tholr Christmas dinners at home. Kit nil carriers will deliver TWENTY DAYS TO GO! & k?'-r "y no mall at all on ChrlslmaH tiny and clerka and carriers In the city olllces will Htop work ptomptly at noon. COMMPKCIAIi OliUH ACTB At a meeting or the IIiirtiH and Harney County Commercial Club on linit Monday evening a committee was appointed lo draft a communica tion lo the railroad people sotting forth the iienllment or this city hi regard to train service. Thin recom mendation went to the railroad olll ces In tho Hhiipo or a communication rnther than a resolution, as thoro was a disposition to not Insist In the race or what linn already been done for this necllou. Itiwcver, It was pointed out that regular train ser vice would stimulate development In this vicinity and be a factor In advancing the IntoroHtii of the rail road as well as a convenience much appreciated by thu local residents nnd business men. Tho Club went on record oh favor ing the location of the Htandard OH J Co. plant In llurns and against the protest that had been filed with the state fire marshal. MOTIIIMtH CI.UH MPPTH (Contributed) The regular meeting of Hie Moth ers Club was held Innt Thursday af- f torunon nt the fnrtn home or Mrs. Carey Thornbiirg with Mrs. Hoy IIu chanati Joining as JiobIcsb. Tho en tire afternoon was spent In a social way with the exception or ti short buslno..n session. The attendance was large and the members and guests responded to roll call with quotations that were unique and which brought out many wholesome thoughts that might bo applied. No special decorations were In evidence In the rooms but two bcnti tlful bouquets or cnrnntlons grace the center tables and added to the homo atmosphere. Dollghtrul refreshments wore ser ved and the guests departed feeling they had boon royally entortnlned nnd expressed their appreciation to the hostesses. o TO (IKCAMi: ML'HIO CM'K The Times-Herald has been In formed that a music ulub is to be organized hi llurns In the near fu ture to be known na tho Nocturne Club nnd will be federated. This club will Include both ladles and gentlemen as members and the meet ings will be held In the evening. Any one may Join, those who do not piny or slug will bo expected to give papers on vnrloiiw composers. Study will be along the linos of programs oponsored by the National Podera- I Hon of Music Clubs. Tho first moot ing will be announced later.
