ALASKA FORESTRY
MEN ATTEND BIG
SEATTLE MEET
EXPERTS DISCUSSED PRESERVA
TION OF TIMBER FROM FIRE
AND REPLANTING.
Reforestation problems, the forest
fire hazard and many other ques
tions connected with the timber fu
ture of the Pacific Norhtwest. were
thoroughly gone into October 1 and
2, when a large number of delegates,
representatives of the lumber indus
try and interested citizens gather in
the Seattle Chamber of Commerce
auditorium for the fifth annual Wash
ington State Forestry Conference.
Acceptance of invitations to attend
the conference came in rapidly and
a record attendance resulted, said
Dean Hugo Winkenwerder, chairman
for the conference., The importance
of questions which came up for con
sideration brought a host of noted
authorities from over the entire coun
try.
The conference was sponsored by
The state development committee of
the Chamber of Commerce.
Chief among the many important
questions considered was the propos
ed reforestation measure, to be sub
mitted to the state Legislature, re
lating to forestation and reforesta
tion, the assessment and taxation of
lands devoted to that purpose and
their products. Outstanding obstacles
to the reforestation of private timber
lands, which are the risk occasioned
by forest fires and the present sys
tem of taxing young growing for
ests was concentrated upon in an
effort to gain satisfactory solutions.
Research work that lead to a more
definite knowledge pertaining to re
forestation methods and more thor
ough utilization of forest products
came up for careful attention, Dean
Winkenwerder said.
"It is our aim to bring about a spir
it of cooperation between federal,
state and private agencies, that our
forests may continue prdouctive for
centuries to come,” declared Dean
Winkenwerder. ‘‘An abundance of
forest material is responsible for the
present industrial development of our
great Pacific Nortlrwest, and must
always continue to be a principal fac
tor in its maintenance or expansion.”
As proof of the importance of the
forest industry, Dean Winkenwerder
cited the fact that it furnished em
ployment for 125,000 persons, pays
annual wages in excess of $120,000,
000, and produces material valued at
$200,000,000 a year.
Approximately half of the out
going tonnage handled by trans
continental railroads is in the form
of forest products and more than SO
per cent of the tonnage of water
craft on Puget Sound is lumber, ac
cording to figures compiled by the
Seattle Chamber. Some 2,200 indivi
duals and firms are engaged in the
production of forest products, while
the number of individuals and firms
owning timber is 12,000.
‘‘Our forests do more than make
possible a great lumber industry, they
are one of the principal attractions
for tourists, furnishing picturesque

backgrounds, cover for game, conserve
stream flow and help to make our
climate the most desirable in the en
tire world,” the Dean said.
That the time has arrived when the
State of Washington must squarely
face the fact that forest growing is
an economic necessity is the opinion
of local timber authorities. In an at
tempt to remedy the present situa
tion, a committee of the Washington
Forestry Conference has for four
years been engaged in drafting a bill
to proivide an equitable system for
taxation of reforesting lands. This
committee, composed of lumbermen,
state and county officials, foresters,
economists, business and professional
men submitted the result of their ef
forts to the conference.
Conceding need for maintaining a
supply of raw material for industries
ol this state, two courses of action
are open, according to forest authori
ties. First, public acquisition of de
forested areas now in private owner
ship with purpose of holding them for
continuous forest production. Second,
create a situation through adequate
assistance in forest protection and
just tax laws whereby the private
owner may see some hope of finan
cial returns thru forest growing. Both
discussed at the
plans were discussed at the confer
ence.
GIRL IS PUT ON
AUCTION BLOCK
POWERFUL STORY OF HIGH SO
CIETY AND THE SACRIFICE
GIRLS MAKE TO WEALTH
Should a girl sacrifice herself on
the altar for love at the bidding of
her parets?
Which is the stronger—a girl’s duty
to herself and the man she loves—
or the duty to her parents?
These are the questions answered
in “For Sale,” the startling First Na
tional picture of American society
life which is showing tonight at the
Liberty,
“For Sale,” a story( by Earl Hud
son, ireau of a powerful dramatic
chapter in the life of a modern so
ciety girl who is virtually placed on
the auction block by her parents to
be sold as a wife to the highest bid
der, in order that they may still re
tain their high social position.
The picture is in reality a page of
true life, dealing as it does with a
situation now existing—an asset to be
bartered and sold to add wealth or
prestige to her family. Many society
girls find that their husbands are
“picked” for them by parents, who
see in the marriage a combination
of two mighty fortunes or as in the
case of “For Sale,” the marrying of
a daughter by a family whicn feels
that it is falling from social power.'
In “For Sale” the principal char
acter, that of Eleanor Bates, a vic
tim of her parents’ selfishness, is
played by Claire Windsor, one of
:he screen’s most famous beauties. Re
plete with a number of highly dra
matic situations the picture play of
fers to this talented young actress
still another big opportunity to prove
her versatile talent. The “For Sale”
part is considered by Miss Windsor
as her greatest emotional characteri
zation.
The cast opposite her—in the role
of the young American who loved and
almost lost—is Robert Ellis, another
screen leader whose recent wmrk for
the films has classed him among the
few movie topnotehers.
One of the most interesting figures
in the play is the character of “Jo
seph Hudley,” a social climber, who
endeavors to use his wealth to “buy”
the girl. This part is most ably play
ed by Adolphe Menjou, of “Woman of
Paris” fame.
The remainder of the imposing cast
of “For Sale,” includes such film lu
