The area first invaded by these beetles appears to have been that part ; of the Olympic forest country largely blown down by the great storm of 1921, their appearance having been observed a year or so after the tim- ber was so badly damaged by wind. | 8o far It is believed the beetles have confined most of their activities to this class of wood, -but it is also declared they are now working in live trees, a matter of serfous importance. Spruce and hemlock appear to have suffered most up to the present, ac- cording to reports! 4 PLANS QUEER FARM. Nebraska Man Is Going to Grow Snails and Frogs. Special Dispatch to The Star.

DECLAREDUNCUT Story of Wholesale Lumber- ing Branded Pure Fiction by Association Heads. Spemal Dispatch to The Star LURAY, Va., April 24.—Vigorous denial was made here today by L. Ferdinand Zerkel, executive secretary of the Shenandoah National Park As- soctation. of the published report that property owners in the proposed park area are stripping their land of tim. ber before the Government takes it over. “That story was ‘manufactured’ from a shoe string.” Mr. Zerkel de. clared. “Not only is the vast ma- jority of worth while timber in the Shenandoah National Park unavail- able for commercial purposes, but the hottem has dropped out of the Jum- her market around here so completely that there would he no incentive for the property owners going to the ex- pense of bringing their logs out, even if they could get at them “The truth of the matter is this. Over on the east side of the moun tains is a small tract, around the headwaters of the Rapidan, where lumbering has heen conducted on a very small scale. Only a small part of the area lies in the park at all and the owners have not even taken mechanical equipment In to cut down their trees. “Last winter they cut enough to make several carloads of logs and they have just succeeded in getting them out. On the basts of this a re porter spread the story that wholesale cutting was under way. It i purely fiction. Every person who has been in the park area knows that one of the reasons such fine timber still ex ists there is because up to now it has been virtually inaccessible for com- mercial purposes “In addition to that, the largest buy ers of timber around here wired no- tce earlier this Spring that until the national park been created they would buy no lumber from these parts for fear of encouraging the destruc- ! tion of some parts of the wonderful primitive forests up in the mountains. The park. you must remember, hegins well up the mountain sides, and what ever cutting that is going on now is well down in the foothills. Even there it ts very trivial.” This statement was confirmed by | Padded Cells Ruined by Violent Drinkers in Ohio. Special Dispatch to The Star.
