Merriam in city election April 5. California Leads Region in Total Tree Farm Acreage San Francisco j(U.PJ Cali fornia leads the western pine region's 12 states in total tree farm acreage but Oregon is close behind, the Western Pine asso ciation announced today. The association, which certi fies tree farms in the pine region, reported that California's west ern pine tree farms cover more than 1,600,000 acres. Oregon is second in tree farm area with nearly 1,500,000 acres. Idaho leads the region in tree farms, having 297 compared to 160 for California. These figures were released as the association opened its annual meeting at the Sheraton-Palace Hotel. More than 350 lumber men are attending the three-day affair. Association President U. R. Armstrong said the significant trend in the West's tree farm program today is the growing number of owners of smaller forest lands "who are learning that growing trees as a crop is a paying proposition." He said his association certi fied 193 new tree farms in 1954, most of them smaller owner ships. 'Tree farming on smaller ownerships in California is well under way," Armstrong said, "'but there is a tremendous po tential yet to be developed. Cali fornia eventually could well become one of the nation's lead ers in both tree farm numbers and acreage. Our association and industry are pushing toward that goal." Armstrong's home state Idaho, increased its tree farm num bers by more than 140 during 1954. Altogether, there are 658 tree farms covering 5,700,000 acres in the westerh pine region. Warden Impounds Chessman's Novel San Quentin, Calif. (U.R) San Quentin Warden Harley O. Teets, maintaining that condem ned prisoners are "civilly dead" has impounded convict-author Caryl Chessman's second prison novel. . ' -.. , Teets said he seized the manu script yesterday when Chessman attempted to sign over the rights to it to his attorney, Rosalie Asher of Sacramento. The warden said grounds for the seizure were that under the state penal code Chessman is prohibited from entering into any type of contract because condemned prisoners are held to be civilly dead. Chessman's first prison book, "Cell 2455 Death Row," became a best seller. The title of his sec ond novel is "Trial by Ordeal." The prisoner was doomed under California's Little Lindbergh law on 17 counts of kidnaping, robbery and rape but through numerous appeals has held off execution for 6Vi years. Liquor Commission Measure Tabled Salem (U.R) The Senate Alcoholic Traffic Committee yesterday tabled one bill that would have set up a three-man, full-time paid liquor commission in Oregon and another that would have replaced the com mission with a single adminis trator. Approved for passage was a measure that would give maxi mum penalties of $1000 fine and a year in jail for a liquor com mission employee accepting a gift from someone doing business with the commission.
