Coos county forests will Buffer mil lions of dollars in damages from moonshiners alone, if statements of a number of south slough residents aro accurate. Something over 31100 ceres of land Sunday and Monday revealed not ono chipmunk, blue Jay, "lum berjack," a big gray bird, or pine squirrel. Residents of the south slough claim the same condition prevails throughout the district both birds and squirrels have died during the winter.,' - Moonshiners who throw out their corn mash after boiling it in cop per tanks aro rseponsible, they claim. Sulphate of copper, common ly known as blue vitriol, develops In the mash after boiling. Squirrels store the mash away and then die from the effects of their winter meal. Doth squirrels and birds are highly valuable in. replanting cut over lands of the timber belt. Cas cara, one of the valuable medicinal products of this section," is planted by chipmunks alone. LUMBER INDUSTRY OF AUSTRALIA IS SUFFERING SLUMP Melbourne- Operator Lays Adverse ' Condition to V. S. . Competition ' PORTLAND, May 20. That the lumber industry of Australia is in a serious condition, with thousands of lumber workers unemployed and less than, half yie sawmills operat ing. Is the unusual information're cejved at 4L headquarters here from a prominent lumberman of Mel bourne .who gives the low prices of competitive west coast lumber as the chief reason for the inactivity of Australian lumber manufactur ing plants. "At the present moment the Aus tralian timber industry is in a most serious position", says the letter to the 4L office. "This is due to the fact - that your (west coast) tim bers and Baltic timbers are being sold here at prices that result In them being used for purposes which hitherto our native timbers were put to. Our native timbers in many cases are acknowledged to be super ior to your timbers for various classes of work, but price has prov ed the deciding factor in allowing imported woods to oust us in our own markets. . 1 "Today thousands of Australian timber employes are out of work, and the only possible chance the in dustry has of meeting the fierce lorelgn competition, is to secure a fair measure of protection. In Tas mania, one of our largest timber pro ducing states, no less than 100 out j oi mills are now ciosea aown and many of those now running are working only part time." ' The letter Indicates that action for a strong protective tariff will be taken by Australian saw milling associations..- . : - WILL PURCHASE CLOCKS Glenn Parker" declares that he Is going to purchase all the alarm clocks in the world when he gets rich, et them at fifteen minute in tervals, go to bed, and then wake up and demolish an alarm clock every fifteen minutes. . .- - '- : , VISITS K, F.

V. -TO EFFECT SAVING Decay, loss in logging operations, losses through mill waste, season ing losses, an .unnecessary multi plicity of sizes and grades of lum ber and the failure or the public efficiently to use short and odd lengths are the principal ways .in which lumber material is wasted. The general' adoption of American lumber standards will result In 10 per cent more lumber from a given amount of timber. Tho Na tional .Lumber Manufacturers asso ciation, other interested associa tions and the forest service and. the department of commerce have been working on these standards for three years. They soon will be In general use. IN' FROM .SPRA?05 RIVER .. W. Q. MatUon, superintendent for the Campbell-Towle Lumber com pany wa3 in town Monday from the mill on Sprague river. MILLING AROUND IX OX Bl'SIXKHH J. J. Steiger was in town from Chiloquin attending to business on Wednesday of last week. "Clothes make the man like her,"' says Marian Masten. Ace Jackson What would you do-if I kissed you?" Young lady I was just wonder ing what I was going to do if yon didn't. Two French Canadians tied their batou to a log on the bank of a river. During the night the river rose, and both log and batou floated several miles down stream, while the river pigs slumbered peacefully. Finally Jean awoke. "Sacre! Nom do com! Pierre, we are not here!" ' Pierre was fast asleep and could not be roused for some time. He kept grunting sleepily "Oui, out, Jean, we are here." Finally Jean succeeded In rousing him. ."Nom de Dieu! Jean, you are right we are not here we are ten niilcs from here. What you call that bird she Jump around trees and eat wood with her face, woodpecker? My, what a hard nose.'

'Business la nor mal where there Is no fighting go ing on. but of co line revolutions al ways disturb anil retard business. However. I am hopotul." said Cap tain Robert Dollar, "that the worst Is over, lu regard to our recent sale of one steamer t Butlerfleld & Swire, which we were operating will say that we formerly operated two boats on the upper Yangtse. One steamer burned, and as we' did not care to replace her we sold the remaining river steamer to Butter field & Swire. Wo will continue to operate our steamers on the lower Yungtse river. I was very deeply Interested In my visit to Mendocino county re cently with my friend, C. R. John son, of Union Lumber Co., operating at Fort Bragg, Cal.. In his refores tation campaign. It is really re markable the very rapid growth which redwood attains, and more especially the root growth. I saw some redwood one-year seedlings with roots more than IS inches in length. It seems lo me' that the state ami government should carry forward the refores tation, as I am afraid the annual tax during the period of growth may wipe out all tho anticipated profit. Nevertheless, the country must be alive to the vital necessity of per petuating the timber supply or she will surely suffer. Am not overly impressed with the statements re garding the anticipated- competlon of Siberian timber and its displace ment of Pacific Coast lumber. The timber differs from Douglas fir in size and strength. It is a smaller growth. We import Siber ian timber from Valdlvostok . to Shanghai. With the present low price of lumber we are not finding it profitable to operate the Dollar- Portland Lumber Co.'s mill and It will remain closed until the price justifies operation." UVEXIXti THINGS CI Bob Kessler, thinking that there was not enough excitement around Pelican City, turned in a fire, call one evening last week when the men were at dinner.

TIMBER SALES Sales of government timber ou the National Forests of OrogSn and Washington amounted to 704. 38(1. 000 board feet during 1924. accord ing to figures just given out by C. M., Granger. District Forester. Port land. Oregon. Thoro were 1692 sales of govern ment timber, valued at M.449.89S. 48! Of these, 799 were commercial sales, amounting to $1,446,992.92; and 839 wero sales at cost, mndo to local settlers and ranchers for their own use. National Jorcst timber is treated as a crop, according to Mr. Granger. Ho explained . that sate of govern ment timber is governed by such conditions as maturity of the crop. market demand, and the totul available- supply a. given locality. Since? continuous production on tho larger watersheds within the Nation al Forests is on of the chief ob jectives of the Forest Service, tho total supply governs tho amount sold and rale of cutting. Appraisal is made by qualified forest officers. and a minimum smmpage price es tablished based on local coudltions. The timber is then advertised and sold under contract to tho highest bidder, and at not less than tho minimum stumpnge price. Timber only is sold, land titlb remaining In the .government. Important con tract provisions are for fire precau tions, close utilization, nnd proper forestry methods of cutting, looking to a new crop of trees on the cut over area. Mr. Granger pointed out that each sale Is given close supervision by the Forest Service, being In churgn .of a competent government scaler -at ranger. Timber is paid for as cut and scaled. . Net timber salo receipts for 1921 in the two states, according to the report, amount to $674,372.76. The sales cover a wldo range of pro ducts, ' from Cascara bark and Christmas trees, to the largo com mercial sales of Douglas, fir and Wcsturn yellow plno. "Conservation has been defined as wise use," said Mr. Granger. "It Is neither hoardlng nor exploitation. The prime function of tho forests Is to produce timber crops. We at tempt to make them yield the great est good to . the greatest number, and at the same.time provide con tinuous production for the future." An important fact in connection with tho receipts from National For est sules, as pointed, out by Mr. Granger, Is that 25 of such re ceipts come back to the states and counties for roads and schools. An additional 10 is applied by tho Forest Service . to local road nnd trail development. WESTERX XKJHTS Hurry R.
