BIG SALE OF PLUMAS NATIONAL FORI'ST TIMBER

, San Francisco, Aug. 10.-121 million board feet of pine, fir and cedar adiacent to the line of the Western Pjcific Railroad and valued at $376.000 has been sold to the Ni,bl_ey-Stoddard Lumber Company of Cromberg, Plumas County, by the United States Forest Service, reports Dis- trict Forester Paul G. Redington of the local headquar- ters. Cutting is to be completed before 7951.25 per cent of the purchase price will be returned to the counti-es covered by th Plumas Forest for their schools and roads, and 1O per cent alditional will be expended fy the Forest Service for their benefit.

Cutting will be conducted in accordance with the best forestry practice, which invoh'es the leaving of all thrifty young tim,ber to reproduce the forest and furnish the basis for a second cut. A11 dead ancl d,iseased trees will be removed and adequate fire precautionary measures insisted upon.

$920,000 worth of timber was cut cluring the year ending June 3O from California's National Forests, and nearly one-sixth of this was from the Plun-ras Forest. The receipts for the last year were the largest in the history of the California District, and exceedel the returns of the previous year by over half a million doilars. This clearly indicates that the trend of maximum production is toward the Pacific Coast states.

Burrows tracr of timber land, comprising 2,000 acres near Forest Hill in Rapides Parish, La., to be used as a state forest to demonstrate the feasibility and practicability of forestry and for other purposes.

The 2,000-acre tract contains ab,out two million feet of n.rerchantable timber. It was cut-over about 25 years ago and is fully stocked with second growth pine. This traft, it is stated, will be the nucleus oi Louisijna's state-owned forests. The Board ex-p-ects later to acquire, either by gift or purchase, about 5,000 additional aCres of forest- ,lind adjoining the original 2,000-acre tract.

The first publicly owned forest in Louisiana is located at the head waters of Indian Creek, on which the state fish hatcheries are located, and it is near the Tefferson and Pelican highways, and easily accessible.

Yet a live ,building merchant coul'd havel taken that same material, furnished the modern 'plan to go with it, and selected decent paint to ,cover it, and the result would have been-for practically the same cost-attractive, comfortable, step saving, l'ive,able, loveable HOMEs-"which men and women will gladly save and sacrifice to own."

You mill men of the Pacific Northwest who sell retai! building materials-WAKE UP.If your materials were as sadly abused in general in OTHER territories as they are in YOUR territory-God help the lumber business, because few people would cry for HOMES.

If you are going to sell retail, accep't the duttes and the privileges that come with being retail building MERCHants, and; render SERVICE in order that the people of means too small for the employment of an architect may likewise enjoy the priveleges and comforts of H'OME'
