LOGGED LAND POLICY NEEDED BY THE STME .COMMISSIONER SAVIDGE, STATE AND COMMISSIONER, TO PLAN FUTURE USEFUL- NESS • • Immediate and intelligent efforts o solve the logged-off land problem, which may require a constitutional amendment, are urged by Land Corn- *missioner C. V. Savidge. "We realize our timber resources are limited, we concede the neces- sity for reforestation and acknow- ledge it will take at least 45 years to grow a merchantable second crop of timber, yet we do nothing," said Mr. Savidge. "Private owners of land suitable for reforestation cannot Iear the expense, pay taxes and pro- ¢ect a second growth they will not live to cut. Much of this land al- ready has been forfeited to counties for taxes. We object to the federal ,ANK VISS PROVES HE HAS NOT FORGOTTEN HOW TO CLIMB TREES (Hyder Miner) Forest Ranger Cy Wickoff and Cruiser F. E. Wiss are now pre- pared to fully endorse• everything the Juneau Empire has ever said de- rogatory to the Alaska brown bear and all his relatives, especially his grandmother. While they were cruis- ing a patch of timber the other clay for the Hyder Lumber Co., the afore- said brown bear grandmother chased them bo.th up a tree and kept them marooned for an hour or more. And they hadn't done anything to the bear either, hadn't even gossiped about her. The worst of it was the tree was a shell-bark, and they kept slip- ping, slipping downward toward the half ton of ferocity that waited with slavering jaws and bristling toe-nails to rend them to shr-r-eds. And that wasn't all, either. The.old strumpet called them all the vile names in the dictionarr which they didn't have coming,because they are both nice young men; as proof of which they didn't have a word to say to her in reply. But eventually she went to tell her neighbors about them, allow- ing them to come down and finish counting the trees. They left yesterday on the Range I for Ketchikan after spending a week cruising timber and allocating forest reserve lots. They also made a trip to Fish creek to runs of the silver fir, which as known, grows nowhere Alaska. Frank Wiss is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Chas.

DO THE "CHRISTMAS TREES" PAY? This is the season when the traders are begin- ning to seek those handsome little trees destined to gladden the hearts of the ypungsters in California and all through the East, and the Northwest is the field from which these trees are secured. A San Francisco firm is now asking bids for the supply of 25,000 of these young fir trees and doubtless other concerns will be in the market. The trees bring the people who furnish them from ten to fifty cents re.cording to size, and must be selected and neatly bundled for shipment. Until recently there has been no demand for the young trees except for an occasional Christmas tree in local homes and they were left to grow until in years the second growth has become fit for ties, then piles and perhaps if left alone for fifty years would be suitable for logs and lumber. Being considered of no value by the average owner cutting was per- mitted wherever young trees might be found, but now owners are becoming interested in reforesta- tion and if they permit young trees to be cut are de- manding "stumpage" as with the_larger trees. The state is waking up to the act tha some- thing must be done with the vast areas of logged lands which are being left waste.after the wreck of the logger, and is finding that one of three methods must be followed to reclaim these lands, if they are to help out the taxpayers Lin future. Clearing for agricultural purpose% seeding for grazing or efor- estation for future timber supply represent the three means by which these lands may be utilized and made valuable to the state, depending upon the land classi- fications. Just now we are concerned with the latter ques- • ties, and it will be conceded that natural reforesta- tion is the best and quickest method of starting new timber growth on such lands as are not adapted to other purposes, and land owners should consider whether it pays to allow these small natural "Christ- mass" trees to be cut at the nominal return either to the owner or the shipper that comes from harvesting them. The Journal thinks it would be all right to cut trees from lands which could well be cleared and turned into farming lands, or seeded and made pro- ductive for grazing purposes, for in the belief of this paper it will not be many years before general atten- tion will be turned back into agricultural channels and cheaper mearis provided for developing the state's better lands. Should land reforestation be taken up in the future, as in the old world countries, it will be found an expensiveproceeding to take the place of what nature will do so readily if left alone. morning.
