Receipts from national forest ac­
tivities in the lust six month* of
1929 gained nearly ten per cent
over the same period in 1928, the
U. S. Forest service announces.
The nine national forest districts
received a net total of 33,245,164.03
from timber sales, grazing fees,
and other forest uses during the
period, an increase of 3316,053.98.
The North Pacific district stands
second in total receipts for this
period.
Sale of timber to he cut under
forest service supervision yielded
-2,405,829.17, nearly three-fourths
of the total receipts. Nearly one
and one-half billion hoard feet of
timber is now being cut annually
on the national forests, or a little
over 3 per cent of the total cut for
the country.
The present cut
could he materially increased with­
out overcutting the sustained annu­
al yield, says the forest service,
but for economic reascons it is not
the policy to force national forest
timber on the market. I-urge sales
of national forest timber are made
(1) to enable established mills to
continue
operation,
stabilizing
communities dependent on them,
(2) to prevent depreciation in value
of government timber; (3)to aid
development or regions or com­
munities by the establishment of in­
dustries and transportation facili­
ties.
Receipts from grazing am­
ounted to 3625,267.99, an increase of
nearly 375,000 over the same half-
year of 1928. Special use and wat­
er-power permits brought in 3120,-
168.64 and 358,042 respectively, in­
creases of 324,711.52 and 34,431.20.
Twenty-five per cent of national
forest receipts is turned over each
fiscal year to the state for distri­
bution to counties in which the
federal forests are located, in lieu
of taxes, for road building and
school development. An additional
ten per cent is also expended by
the Forest Service on roads and
trails within the counties.
THE GRANGE INITIATES
AN O THER POW ER B IL L
We have been asked several times
for data pertaining to the Grange
Electric power bill. We here re­
produce the amendment which the
Grange of the state are initiating.
Section 13. Peoples Utility Dis­
tricts may be created of territory,
contiguous or otherwise, within one
or more counties, for the purpose
of supplying water and | or electric
energy for domestic and | or mun­
icipal purposes: for the develop­
ment of water power an d | or elec­
tric energy, and for the disposal and
sale of the same. Such districts may
consist of an incorporated munic­
ipality or municipalities, with or
without unincorporated territory.
Such districts shall be managed by
boards of director* consisting of
five members residing within Ihe
district. Such districts shall have
the following powers:
“ (a) To call and hold elections
within their district.
“ (b) To issue and sell evidence of
indebtedness and to enter into con­
tracts.
“ (c) To levy taxes upon the tax­
able property of such districts.
"(d) To acquire and hold real
property for sites and purposes of
improvement, and exercise eminent
domain.
“(e) To acquire, develop and | or
otherwise provide for supply of
water, water power and electric en­
ergy.
“Such districts may sell, distribute
and | or otherwise dispose of water,
water power and electric energy,
within or without the territory of
such districts. The legislative as­
sembly shall provide necessary leg­
islation to carry out the provisions
of this section.”
The return of Commander Byrd
to this country is believed to have
started yesterday after 14 months
stay in the antarctic.
