COURT cre Is Price for Recruise Sticking Point In Final Decision Alex Hays, representing the Long Bell timber and lumber in torestg arrived here lost night to attend the hearing of the Klamath county court on the subject ot the county timber re-cruising plana which Is set for next Monday. The county court has begun a re cruise ot the timber resources, hav ing completed a unit comprising 105,000 acres last summer, the re sults ot which are In dispute. It is claimed that the gain shown doe, not Justify the cost of the cruise by the cruising firm of Edgar and Culllson of Portland, at a cost of 20 cents an acre. At a previous hearing In Decem ber the nature of protests by -various cruising Interests were to the effect that they did not object to a re-cruise, but that they did ob ject to the price that the county was paying for It. The' cost of a cruise was variously et forth as running from 7 to 10 cents an acre. Subsequent offers by other cruis ing firms have Indicated that the prevailing price, for double run cruising were slightly higher than these figures. There were tentative offers at the previous hearings' from the timber interests to the effect that no objection would be Talsed to flat footage Increase of 2 4 to 5 per cent, but members ot the court did not listen to these offers. No plans from either side of the controversy have teen announced, Hays saying last night that he' was "down to attend the hearing." Attorney D. V. Kuykendall rep resents the Weyerhaeuser . and other timber holding interests. He also represents the Weyerhaeuser interests in the boom matter which comes up here Monday for a hear ing before the Oregon public ser vice commission. No hour had been announced yesterday for either hearing and it was a question last nteht as to whether or not ' the hours would conflict. NEWS OFFICIAL WIRES REGRETS Unable to Attend Wednes.
