"On the other hand," Liniger said, "forest industry recognizes, because it is in the business of growing and harvesting trees, that taxing authorities, legisla tors and the public do not rea lize the great risks of carrying trees for longer than the avera human life span to bring them to usable size. The industry has faith in Oreaon's future. That faith is proved by the fact that it is willing to risk its own capi tal to grow a crop of trees which will provicie more jobs, more payrolls and more taxes for the solid maintenance of Oregon's economy from now on." Lininger said forest industries are working to maintain every acre in full growth, which means costly planting, heavy ex pense for protection for the growth, cycle of a tree from seedling to maturity. " o Some plan should be devel oped in taxation of young for ests, Liniger said, which would recognize the iisks involved of carry ing the trees through : 60 to 8Q years. Valuation of imma ture forests is more complex than - for old growth where values can be determined more easily, he said. The ' valuation process itself, he observed, rath er than the ad valorem system is ihe crux of the problem. o Is That So? Over the northland, complete night has now taken over. It is polar night: neither sun nor twilight brightens the dark sky. But yet, it is not black. The snow-covered landscape reflects starshine. Also, there is moon shine. With the total disappear ance of the sun in polar night, the full moon remains slightly above the . horizon constantly circling the sky. And the north ern lights may glow overhead gloriously. It is popularly assumed that if there were less night and more heat in the Arctic this land would become a garden paradise. Not so. If rain and snowfall re main as they are today, a little more warmth would turn the great boggy tundra lands and lakes into the world's largest desert. Also, it is popularly assumed that there is deep snow in these polar regions. Most of us as- By EUGENE BURNS.

Again, not so. Ac tually, a New England ski-slope, a Winnipeg plain, or an Idaho valley provide far deeper snow cover than does the tundra plain of polar America. Far North Arid r. The far north, essentially, is arid. Besides, to all intents the frozen soil is "dry" to the plant life plants cannot take any moisture from the soil during most of "the year. And the light snowfall is not much more than enough to insure that all the tundra will stay covered despite thesevere gales. In this treeless tundra, the bleak landmever loses its frost even in mid-summer. Below the surface is a perma-frost. At Fair banks, this permafrost extends 170 feet below anything the sun can tbaw in a hot summer; at Amderma; on the north coast of Siberia,! the permafrost .- con tinues downward for almost s quarter a mile, to 1,200 feet; The area of this frozen tundra of our northland is .tremendous almost a twentieth of the earth's, surface.

Criticized o o o o o o Sherry Fong Case Appealed Friday ; Portland (U.R) Attorneys for Sherry Fong Friday appealed to the Oregon Supreme court her conviction last December of sec ond degree murder in connec tion with tbe death of 16-year-old Diane Hank." ao Sherry Fong and her husband, Wey Him Fong, were first tried jointly and convicted of first de gree murder. They were granted new trials and separate trials were held. Sherry rong was tried first and convicted of sec ond degree murder, which car ries a sentence of life imprison ment. Then Wey Him Fong was tried and acquitted. Friday Portland Attorneys Leo Levenson and Irvin Good man filed a 171-page brief with the Supreme court, listing five reasons they thought Sherry Fong should go free: They were: 1. "Uninhibited and prejudi cial" conduct by the prosecutor. 2. Prejudicial . error by the court in allowing the state to in troduce what the defense called "irrelevant" evidence. 3. Prejudicial error in allow ing hearsay testimony relating to Diane Hank about illicit ac tivitiea with Sherry and Wey Him Feng. , L' 4. The trial did not prove that Diane's death was due to a crim inal act;' '-' .y o 3 :') 5. The case was "predicated on inferences and not on facts ."o 0 Sherry Fong has been confin ed to the Multnomah county jail here pending her appeal.

' j It was brought out that as ; long as residents of the city , are paying -for the fire truck through taxes, they are the ones entitled tb the protection. It was also pointed out at 1 the meeting, that In reporting a fire, a person should first call I the telephone operator, giving j nis own name ana aaaress ana the location Jif the fire, which would include the name of the house and street address.- One should give his name plainly and wait for an answer., it was advised, and state whether or not the fire is within the city V- U?
