A 64-ycnr-eld stand of .Douglas fir growing on beach land In the middle Fork Wll laaatte watershed, Cascade national forest, Oregon, has mndc an average growth of 1,044 board foot per acre during the last fire years, according to Forest Hxaralner Thornton T. Hunger, who has Just completed the third rcmeasuremeht of the timber on several sample acres In the reg Ion under observation. There nrc Bow on this tract an averago of 155 living trees per acre, 41 less than were present ten jcar ago. This ahrlnkngo Is duo to the fact that In the keen struggle for existence, the smaller trees aits being crowded out and smothered for lack of light. Too trees on the sample acres are all tagged and numbered, so that the 'behavior nnd growth of each Indi vidual trco can bo watched by the foresters. They range from 4 to 27 Inches In diameter, the average trco being 16.3 Inches, a good site for railroad tics and almost big en ough for piling. The gloss scale of all the trees for tho average aero shows 10,216 cubic feet of wood, while tho volume bf tho merchantable portion of the trees oxer 12 Inches In diameter, making no allowance for defect or breakage, Is 47,891) board foot. "This Is not nn exceptional nroa." says Mr. Mungcr. "There nro thou sands of acres In Oregon nnd Wash ington capable of growing 1000 board feet per aero annually. The extensive loggod-off areas of tho two states offer great possibilities to grow a second crop of timber If only fire Is kopt out and nature glvi-a a chanco to resecd tho ground."

MEET PROPOSED TAX SAY PROPONENTS (Cwttaaad 1) WWWWWWIWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWllllaWWWWIWWlWWMWWwWWMWWWWWWWW another fire engine $15,000; fire alarm) system, $10,000; repair of Sixth straet. I1S.SS6, and the salary of a street' commissioner, "$1100 yearly, are added. As to tha first proposed badget In crease there seems no argument against It. The last budget was $43,230 aad proved Inadequate to meet strictly governmental needs. There haa been no radical fit In cost. In any, of ruaalng the city, and the $10,000 Increase Is seeded, It Is generally conceded. Dut the common couucll evidently did not feel that this Is enough that the voter should stop at $52,000, so a second proposal was put on the bal lot. If the voter sees fit It super sedes the first proposal. The voter must clearly differentiate sad real ize tho effect of his' ballot. On one band he may approve the $52,000 measure, or disapprove It, In the latter ease the city Is thrown back on the old rate, plus six per cent, and would raise about $43,000, exclusive of the bond Interest fund. On the other hand hj may decide that tho city needs to tepave Sixth street, enlarge Us fire department and hire a street commissioner. Then ho passes by the first proposal en tirely and votes on the second. If ho votes "yes" on one ho should, logically, voto no on the oth er. He cannot logically YOto for both affirmatively, or both negative ly. Ah to the socond propo&il, rais ing $92,'100, exclusive of bond Inter est, the question Is Docs the city need more fire apparatus, a (Iro alarm cystem, a street commissioner, and tho repaying of Sixth street. The last two questions provldo tho answer of one. A street commulon er, who was competent and on tjie Job, would, nt a cost of $1800 n year, aive the ro-paving of Sixth street, at a cost of $12,000. Tho cjty In the past two years has laid much costly pavlag over a widely scattered area It Is wise economy, proponents argue to hire a competent nun to watch this paving and by timely repairs prevent Its untimely destruction That Sixth street, a main artery of approach, needs repavlng, Is gen erally conceded. It la work that must be done sooner, or later and proponents of the higher tax argue that It might better bo now than later. Unless tho Increased fire appar atus Is sanctioned, it Is argued, there will bo a balnket Increase In ire In surance rates that will effect every property owner who carries Insur ance. Klamath Falls Is such a bad fire risk that In the last few years, It la said by Inauraace man, tha policies 14 out. have exceeded tba prem iums paid Into tho Insurance com panies. Unless demands for tiottor tiro iirotoctlon nnd reduction of hatards nro compiled with, tho raise will bo forthcoming. Onco effecttvu tho new rates will cost owners In tho uggrogatn from $100,000 to $150,000 n enr, and they will, ns far ns enn bo forosoon, continue ato exist until tho (Iro -protection Is doomed adequate, Which moans that tho money tor flro ap paratus will have to bo spent somo time, lly spending It this jour (ho tax payer keops his Insurances prem ium at Its present rate, or perhaps lowers It. Whon the present truck was purchasod Insurant rates hero dropped ten per cent, n totnl unvlng to cltltons of $20,000. Another drop of this slie would meet the expendi tures that tho otir Is nsfcnl to rrtlfy it ho votes for the additional loy Iloth candidates for mayor endorse tho $93,000 levy.
