{NDIAN RESERVATION FORESTS PUT ON SALE Eovemment to Dispose of 375,(!)9,- » 000 Feet of Timber to Highest IS Bidder Tomorrow, SDDS WEALTH TO0 OWNERS @amth Tribe in Oregon Owner of Huge Tracts. BY J. C. ROYLE. ®pectal Dispatch to The Star. *NEW YORK, May 14—Two great sections of the forest primeval will be turned into forest productive to- morrow when over 375,000,000 feet of timber will be sold by the govern- ment at the Klamath Indlan reserva- tion in Oregon to the highest bidder. This will not only add millions of dol- lars to the wealth of the Klamath Indians, who rank high among the great American timber owhers, but will furnish work and pay at high wages to thousands of men for years to come. These original owners of the soil are possessed of some eight thousand million feet of timber, enough to build over 500,000 houses or to house a city of over 2,000,000 people. Units Deslgnated for Sale. The two units to be disposed of this week are known as the Trout Creek unit and the Squaw Flat unit and are located in southern Oregon. They comprise a total of 33,660 acres and constitute two of the largest forests of 3 v pine now standing. No bids under $5,000,000 will be con- sidered and the tracts will be sold agreements calling for the ber under a graduated s to be Increased each The lumbering of the regions involved will extend over at least fifteen years. The opening of these vast timber lands to exploitation is not expected by lumber manufacturers to reduce lumber prices. The demand for building in the last few years has necessitated the expenditure of near- 1y $20,000,000,000 and, while building operation ned to some extent, short sing facll Wwill necessitate continuation of oy erations at a high pace for some years to come. The lumbering of these tracts, how- ever, is counted on to open fo de- velopment _another large region in Oregon. They lie adjacent to the Orexon, Califernia and Bastern rafl- side of the district immediately in- volved, dealers, contractors and mem- bers of the skilled building trades will be affected. Rallroads In certain sections will carry more freight and the business which will accrue to coastwise and transoceanic shipping will be tremendous. In 1923 the tim- ber cut on the Kiamath reservation ylelded . the Indians thereon over $750,000 and the new operations will make them close rivals in wealth to the ofl land holding abdorigines of Oklahoma. Latest reports from the southern pine mills, however, show no fall- ing off in demand or production. In the last week new orders Increased 8.5 per cent over the previous week, ifpments remained almost station- ry and production advanced 8.9 per cent. About 76,000,000 feet was pro- duced, a drop of 1,000,000 feet from the corresponding week of 1923. TOBACCO GROWERS PLAN FOR BIGGER BUSINESS Co-Operative Association Buys Ten Acres Ground for Erection of ‘Warehouses at Richmond. RICHMOND, Va., May 14 (Special). —That the Tobacco Growers' Co- Operative Assoclation is preparing to do more business than ever hefore the coming years was made plain here when the officers of the asso- clation purchased ten acres of ground, on which it is proposed to place warchouses for the storing of to- bacco. This will provide —space for anywhere from 25.000 to 50,000 hogsheads of tobacco, and which will be held for the Inspection of the buyers from time to time and will be 8o located that the stock for man- ufacturers can be had at any time.

The warehouses here will be devoted wholly to the purposes of the association and the tobacco stored here will be graded and sold by sample, thereby saving to the manufacturers considerable cost in the way of grading and conditioning the tobacco for manu- facture. It is sald the association I8 making such progress that soon it will be able to make payments for tobacco for practically its entire value within the first, quarter of the year following its defivery to the associa- tion.

There is much tobacco being planted. this year, but some of the farmers in the South side are putting in cotton for the first time. Tobacco planting is about complet- ed fn a vast majority of the tobacco sections and the rainy weather has been good for the young plants, en- COMMODITY NEWS WIRED STAR FROM ENTIRE COUNTRY ATLANTA, May 14—The Pratt in- terests, developing private hydro- electri¢ power enterprises in north Georgla, long ® Coossawatie river forge, eral additional miles of the in Gilmer County, and are preparing to construct | tin additional dams.
