RECEIVING MANY INQUIRIES
EUGENE, Ore. Although there are a number of re
presentatives of Southern lumber interests who have been
here recently with the view of purchase and operation in
Lane county there is no contemplated change in the
way of ownership or merger in connection with the
Booth-Kelly Lumber company. This statement was made
today by R. A. Booth, vice-president of the company,
in reply to rumors prevalent for the past week or more
in Eugene and Portland lumber circles that the Lane
county organization was so to. to undergo a change in
control, Mr. Booth said: '
"We have boon receiving a largo" "
number of inquiries from Southern J )TgJJ Mill
limine! men who are wi muiu iu-
terolted In the possibiliiies of the
tit development inLane county unii

y-A. C. Dixon. Roneral manager of
the Booili-K.cll' Lumber company.
O occntly made a trip through the
.state with representatives of the
lumbering Interests of the south, j
visiting a large number of lumber
centers.
"These Southern lumber men are
much interested In the fir industry
as some of them contemplate op
erations in tho Pacific Northwest.
They desired to inspect the work
ing of ramp and mills in this dis
trict and their visit .and close in-;
spection ot the Booth-Kelly mills
in Lano was for the purpose of ob
taining information as to modern
methods employed in handling the
fir."
The name of the Lutcher and
Moore Lumber company of Orange,
Texas, large operators of timber in
the South, was the firm frequently
mentlned in connection with the
rumored change in the Booth-Kelly
company.
Local lumbermen and bankers
who are closely identified with the
lumbering interests confirm the
fact that the lumbermen from the
south, representatives ', of large fi
nancial interests, are looking to
ward Lane county and the North
waft for further development and
that rccontly parties were here in
vestigating the field and conferring
with owners of timber in this area.

DEPLORES ALL WASTE
75Per Cent of Timber Held
in Northwest, Speaker
oays
SPOKANE. Wash,--A plea for
forest conservation and reforestation
was voiced before the annual con
vention of tho- Concatenated Order
of lloo Hoo by Alton J. linger, of
Lansing. Mich . supreme senior Hoo
lloo of the organisation.
Uefurring to the vast waste of
foreM products iu the early years
of the nation's history, which lie
said was inevitable. Mr. Hnger de
calrcd that with the cut reduced to
US. 000. 000 acres. 78 per cent of
it in the Pacific northwest, conser
vation of timber is one of the most
important problems confronting the
nation, with numerous Industries
and provision ot material for the
nailou's iiuniea dependent upon it.
"We must also provide employ
ment lor practically two million men
who have been making their liveli
hood, in cutting the. trees, working
in the mills and furniture factories,
to say nothing of the many thou
sands engaged in the more modern
business of building automobile, air
planes and radio equipment and
whose future success and continu
ance is absolutely dependent upon
a timber supply." he continued.
"Michigan alone is using 300.000,
000 feet per year in the automobile
industry."
Loss by forest fires, the result
for the most part, of human care
lessness. Mr. Hager declared, ap
parently i on: the increase. The
loss for the first, six months of 1925
amounting to $197,547,300. was
416.451.000 greater than the sumo
period last year, or $60 per minute,
he pointed out. He urged every
American lumberman to lend his
aid toward a more general observ
ance, nejtt. year,, of, natjonaJT forest
conservation week.
IfCHt

An immediate survey of all de
nuded land of the countr by the
United States forest service and
state forests was urged bar George
M. Cornwall, editor of the Timber
man, Portland.
A plea for forest conservation was
made by Alton J. Hager, lof Lan
sing, Mich., supreme senior ILj
Hoo, and by James H. Allen of Bt.
Louis,-grand snark of the universe.
"A financial plan should he de
vtood whereby the government would
undertake to take over certain
lands nnd issue bonds carrying 3
low rate of Interest, say 2 per cent,
and redeemable in 7f lar 10,0 'years"
Cornwall said.n outlining a refores
tation plan.
"When the limber U cut off,
the bonds -would be automatically
jtutlred, and rT.ie profits ftasrulnf:
j I toot the sale of Me Umber would
I it0to(lly 'loimburse the government
! for Its Investment, but, more Imnwrl
j ant than all, It .uid Insure to ft
large measure the needed .supply
i of timber for future needs."
Cornwall praised Wiisflilngloii state
for having taken lup several thous
and acres ,!'-denuded land 'at $2.5H
nn wrro aiwl terentlng state forests
for the growing of timber. He de
clared that In the ctUe of prlvule

land should not bo assessed M atari
than 5 cents an acre. .

BIG PROTEST
Owners In Roseburg
Area Prepare
. .. To Act
ROSEBURG. Attorneys
for a number of the larger
timber owners in the county
are preparing arguments to
be presented to the county
board of equalization to
show why the assessment as
placed upon their lands by
Assessor Keeney should be
reduced. " ir if? V
Radical advances in the
assessed Valuation of some
timber lands have been
made by the assessor, said
one attorney yesterday, and
a strong fight wilt be made
for a reduction.
This attorney said that not
only has there been a sharp
advance in the valuation of
timber land but that mills
and logging equipment have
also been affected."
The company which this
attorney represents operates
a small plant in the woods
above Cottage Grove and,
according to the figures
submitted to him by the
company, the assessed valu
ation as placed by the asses
sor this year is actually' sev
eral times greater than the
actual cost of the machinery.
Practically all the larger
timber owners are preparing
to make a protest against
valuations placed on their
lands by the assessor, it was
stated.
Stiff advances have been
made in the valuation on a
large number of pieces of
city property but little com
plaint has as yet been made
on this account, according to
members of the equalization
board.
Assessor Keeney made
personal survey of iertain
sections of the city where he
deemed that property war,
being assessed too low and
made substantial advances.
