FOREST SERVICE BOOSTS
ALASKA.
I
The Forest Service is definitely
committed to the policy of doing its
utmost for the fullest development
of the timber resources of Alaska.
This statement, made by District
Forester Cecil, is fully borne out
by the recent decision to make more
flexible the present timber sale con-;
tract requirements of the Forest j
Service to better fit the unusual J
Alaskan conditions.
Mr. Cecil brought out the fact!
that, although the Forest Service j
during the past ten years has sold'
some four hundred million feet >f j
timber from the Alaskan National
Forests and that the service has con
sistently encouraged the sale of Al
askan pulp woods, that due to the
present seriousness of the newsprint
situation, a more flexible policy is
now justified for the Territory. The
new policy provides for granting
contracts for sufficient timber for a
30-year cut, and makes provision ;
that, where additional timber is1
— available, a 15-year additional sup-!
ply will be reserved for existing
pulp plants.
The new contracts, the district'
forester emphasized, are to provide
for a readjustment of prices at in
tervals of five years after cutting j
begins, the first readjustment to be
made seven years after signing of
the contract, if the full two-year
period allowed for plant construe- i
tion has been used. In addition, a
maximum price is fixed which in no
case will be exceeded in the read
justment covering the second five
year period. A third point of the
new policy is that the readjusted
pulpwood rates are to be based on
current pulpwood values in South
eastern Alaska.
The whole aim of the new policy,
the district forester stressed, is to
make clear that the Forest Sendee
is willing to make every effort con
sistent with existing Federal laws
to bring about the fullest develop
ment and use of the pulp timbers of
the Alaskan National Forests.
LEAGUE COURT.
A draft for the Permanent Court
of International Justice of the
League of Nations, as it has been
offered to the secretariate of the
league in the name of Norway,
Sweden, Denmark, Switzerland, and
Holland, has been made public by
the Dutch government. It is the
result of the conferences held in the
Peace Palace at The Hague in Feb
ruary.
According to the plan, the court
would consist of fifteen judges and
six substitutes, who must aU be rec
ognized authorities on international
justice. Its members would be
chosen by the assembly of - the
league; the judges to be appointee
for nine years, the substitutes foi
six.
The members would be electee
without regard to their nationality
but no more than two judges of thi
same country could hold office ii
the court. They would be re-eligi
ble, but they would have to resigi
when 66 years old. They woul
then have a right to a pension,
which, like their salary, would be
fixed and paid by the league.
The duties of the court would be
to adjudicate differences between
nations and it would be competent
to act on all cases in which its de
cision is asked.
The Permanent Court of Interna
tional Justice is provided for in
Article XIV of the covenant of the
League of Nations. The council of
the League of Nations, at a session
in London in February, announced
that a committee of twelve distin
guished international jurists, includ
ing F.lihu Root of the United States,
had been invited to prepare plans
for the constitution of the court.
Mr. Root accepted the invitation, as
did Lord Phillimore of England,
Baron Descamps of Belgium, Dr.
Loder of Holland, and M. Vesnitch
of Jugo-Slavia. No plans as formu
lated by the committee for the or
ganization of the court have yet
been announced.
YANKEE SOLDIERS
YEARN EOR RHINE
LOUISVILLE. Ky.—Lager be-r,
increased salaries, and decreased
cost of living in Germany are the
lures that attracted 10 men of tne
First division at Gimp Zachary
Tayloi to appiy for transfer to the
American forces in Gema.'.y, ac
cording to members of tlie detach
ment.
Soldiers returning from Germany
said an American army private’s pay
of $ la day would buy him 1,400
“schooners” of beer. A dollar is
equal to 140 marks and a glass of
beer costs one-tenth of a mark.
“Xinety percent of the soldiers for
merly in Germany would return if
they could,” said Sergeant Donald
McCraney, 1st engineers.
| “I am going to Germany to lower
my cost of living,” asserted Regi
| mental Supply Sergeant Charles
i Kleiner, 16th infantry. “Pay that
[has the buying power of several
[hundred dollars a month is the at
itraction for me.”
j Life on the Rhine is joyful foi
the American soldiers, according tt
[returning veterans, who tell o1
| week-end boat excursions on Ger
[man rivers and week-long trips t(
j European cities.

OLDTIMER HEARS
CALL UF ALASKA;
LONGS TO SIARE
Like many of the oldtime North- j
erners who have spent the best
years of their lives under the shad
ow of the Arctic circle, E. J. Stier,
former resident of Xenana and near
ly every other camp north of 53,
is lonpinp to pet back to Alaska.
Ed left Ncnana last summer to re- j
turn to his old home town in Cali
fornia, but conditions there were
not as he expected to find them, and
now he is eaper to pet away apain.
The Stier family is an old land
mark of Stockton and Ed went to
school there when a lad. “Now,” !
he writes, in a letter addressed to ,
Frank Rourke, “my old home town !
has pi'own out of all my expecta- j
lions. It is some town now—over.
50,000 people and a lot of beautiful
homes, and miles of asphalt streets
and streetcars palore. And autos
until you can’t count them. But
amonp it all I am a total stranper.
My friends have either died or
miprated. I have so far met only
four old friends and not one old
schoolmate. So you see I am almost
a total stranper in my old home
town. I am neither satisfied nor
contented here. And if I can pet
well, which I hope to before lonp,
you may see me back in Alaska.”
Ed writes that he is feelinp fine
and weiphs more than when he went
Outside—more than he ever did, in
fact. But it is hard for him to
walk, owinp to his inability to man
ape his leps. He is also still some
what nervous, but says he does not
look it. He is hopeful that the warm
climate of the San Joaquin valley
may brinp him around all ripht, and
when it does, he will start for the
North.
