"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-

sume that as we progress north
from the Mexican border's thin

banks of snow in Montana, that
the snowbank of the northland
of a surety must be hundreds
of feet thick. Again, not so. Ac

a Winnipeg plain, or an Idaho

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

Except for the roaring gales

pitched call of a wolf. Or the
squeak, of dying5 lemming. Or
the cry of an owl.

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.

Eagle Point Members of the
Eagle Point, volunteer fire de
partment met with "a" group of
citizens at a special rueetirig
called last week to air criticism
of firemen and city officials for
not taking tbe Eagle Point's
only fire track out of. the city
limits to fight a recent fire, o
A discussion was held on the
fire law, which, states that city
owned fire apparatus catinot
leave the city limits to fight a
fire because, it would be impos
sible to fight ; two fires .with
one truck, should another fire .
start within the city. ' 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
