SPECIALISTS SAY HALF OF LUMBER LIES ON PACIFIC AVilh forfait) in the Xew , Kng. land, Hnuthorn anil cuHlern Ktntcs having lieon tlepli'tnl yvura ngu. uver ono-halt uf Hie iihiIiiu's lum ber supply now lira im the Pacific count, brlntring in nl Annual reve nue of approximately 2S7 million dollars nt the prext'iit lute of eon pumption. and enihasi.cs the need for forem proteetive ineHKiiren ami wiser means of taxation, according to statelnentK brought out this noon nt the California Oregon ; Power company forum hy W. V. t-'uller of the state forestry depart ment and Cieoi'KO Griffith, public relations specialist of the federal forest office of Portland. ny the means of lantern slides, Mr. lirifflth. a fluent speaker, trnced the history of the forest sit uation in the United States and the gradual disappearance of wooded lands from the Atlantic slopes, making the Pacific coast the last stand for the timber industry out of-nn original S22 millions of acres of forest land when the PllKiims first landed. In Oregon, the lum ber and its allied industries mean 66 per cent of the payrolls and the Annual distribution of over 1U0, 000,000. Wilful waste often found In con nection with lumbering, said the speaker, can only-In time result in idle camps, unempltwymcnt and Idle industries. Wasteful forest practice, aided by its destructive ally, fire, cause annual losses of sums running into high figures, not only, in the destruction of po tential lumber wealth, but also in the destruction of watersheds, found necessary in successful pow er development and the continu ance of steady flow in water courses. Reforestation does not necessar ily mean arllficlal replanting, said Sir. Griffith, but rather natural reproduction springing from seeds , cast from parent trees. As a rule this reproduction grows fast, but Is easily destroyed forever hy fire, and growing underbrush makes - the wilful burning of brush a bad practice. For a few moments the speaker, aided by the use of slides, apoke of carelessness of forest campers, adding that campers are becoming gradually educated to the use of caution in the woods. In a reel of moving pictures pre sented by Mr. Fuller, the bud points of unwise taxation were brought out. with suggestions of fered for their remedy by an im proved taxation system on forest hinds. WAGNER CREEK FIRST ITWENTY-EIGHT XSSS FIRST PRACTICE IN SELECTION F0RTls F0R BASKETBALL 1929 JURY PAflTC FIVE1 a. i .i OF LIST "While the movement of mulling out CliriHtmab parcels at tno local postuffice hus been prog renting nicely the past few days with a KliKht increune euch duy, it nan heen so regular nnd methodical during the duy that bo far, the Inns lines ut people wartliiR with pack uses in their arms to mail out, like -in put years of Christ mas mailing, hits been conspicuous mr their a i mo nee. This means either that us much parcel muil is being Kent out us at this time in previous years before Christmas day, but In coin Inn in so regularly nnd eontVnu ously throughout the day as to cause little congestion or WAtting, or that the people are still hold ing back from sending Christmas parcels In heavy volume, to dis tant points, and will begin to crowd the postofficc lobby to morrow and Saturday, probably the latter day. All parcels for distant points must be mailed to eastern or 'middle west points, or similar dis tances by Saturday evening In or der to be sum and reach their destinations for delivery before Christmas day. No packages, of course, can Ik mailed Sunday, and if not mailed here until Monday this would give only six days time for parcels to go across tho coun try, barring delays of any kind, and reach their destination in time Jo be delivered before Christmas day. The incoming Christmas' parcel business today took a sudden spurt becauso of it being the first day of tho running of the special Christmas parcel train daily from Portland to Medford and Ashland. This train which will run daily until Christmas day, brought two truck loads of parcels for the Mcdford postoffice. With a c of f ;.Su to reach In this year's Chrixtinu Seal cam paign, the workers are njokinii over the amount, received mi far. 703.27 is the total of sales to date including returns through the mails, from rural schools and from the booths. Wagner Creek school was the first of the smaller schools to send In the results of their intensive campaign; nbout 23 pupils sold $5.00 worth in their zeal to be uf service in a good cause. I'hoenix school was the first among the larger runil schools to report, with a total of $3S, which means they sold more than their original assignment and sent for more seals. While a few let (era are returning the seals and no money, others are mailing checks for amounts over the value of the enclosed seals and write encouraging letters. The following is cue of the letters: "My dear Mr. Holbtway: Again the opportunity comes for all of us to shure in the well organized and well conducted fight against di seasc and once more I send my hearty thanks and deep apprecia tion to you and your fine unselfish colleagues for the noble work you do. I Mease find enclosed my check for The Heals yon sent, and hellevo me, very cordially yours, 11. D. McC.iskey, Central Point. Oregon."

The squad will not indulge In any RtrcnuouH practise for another week, according to Coach C'nllison. the main object being for the hoys to get the feel of the hall and lim ber up.

(P) The govern ment resign ed today us a result of a vote of cenfture passed in tho diet last nigfct. The retiring government of Fint land was headea by Dr. Julio K. Ku n i In, who has been chairman of the parliamentary group of the agrarian party. It was formed on December IT. 1027.- - -- (ContrlbtitiMl.) Lieutenant Baucom and Sergeant Hewitt are spending a few days on the rifle range in an attempt to clear out all obstacles in the line of fire and to Install a better safety system. Next Monday we will have the tin soldiers for use on the sand tnble. The non-com missioned of ficers of the company will be re quired to demonstrate movements of troops.

Tho basket ball team is begin ning the season in a fv days with 'orporal Williams as the able lend er. Let h go. team! Major Tierney, regular army of ficer from Kugene, visited the Arm ory last night. He gave n very interesting talk to the Med ford reserve officers on American re Intlons with Kngland and Japan. Whether due to a hauK-over from i his recent siege with tho influenza. 1 or possibly to a , much-needed chnngc of spectacles, Rollle loach's fellow workers of the postoffice ! have heen considerably worried ! ever since he yesterday asserted that because of cold weather the quail are coming into the city, and j claimed he saw 72 in one flock in i the yard of n Jackson street rest j dent. To those who know the assistant t postmaster, nnd sheik of the O. O. K. K. temple, it is inconceivable j that he had the patienco to count; out VI quail in one hunch, if ho wns even in fairly good health. - Further inquiry develops that probably what Mr. Leach saw was a herd of bees from Jim Stewart's apiary out for some exercise on Jackson street, and that his glasses need cleaning. Selection of flu jury Usl is now under way. under a now system which. Jt !s hoped, will eliminate inail vertencies of the past mid litcilitiiie court procedure. In past years the Jury has been drawn nt random from a list of names of county residents. This resulted in idekUig many who were physically ineapfiteitatetl. In some instances those drawn were dead, or bad moved away. l"nder the present plan, w JiUh was conceived by County Clerk He ll hi Stevens Meyer, a representa tive from various sections of the county picks out the names of citi zens that he knows or Is reliably certain are fit for jury service. These lists will be pruned by the county court, nnd later by the county clerks office. In the name-selection session to day, the Mcdford diitiict is repre sented by Carl V. MYngwaM and Mrs. O. C. Hoggs; district by Miles Kugle Point-Butte district by W. C. Ashland district by Mrs. Louis Hodge and Fred, C. Homes, and ihr northern end irt the county by 1. T. Cialllgar of Kogue River. County Clerk Meyer said this morning that KtiO names would be drawn on the list fur the year, and the first drawing wouhl, be for the next term of the circuit court next February. This Is an increase over last year, when between r.oo and fiu names Were drawn. This was not enough, us special venires were necessary the latter part of the year. the Applcgnto Cautrall; the Falls-Prospect Clements; the Dispose of late-maturing, slow growing pullets.
