HE SEATTLE STAR “In addition to these decennial cen- ning of a permanent campaign of care to save our forests. For we, in Washington, the forests mean more than they do to the ordinary American. It is up to us to protect our forests from fire and from annihilation, because to 125,000 of us directly, and to untold thousands of others indirectly, the trees furnish a living. The state contains a total area of 42,000,- 000 acres; 16,000,000 acres lie west of the Cascades. About 7,000,000 acres west of the mountains are still covered with a heavy stand of timber, the remainder, or 9,000,000 acres, consists of cultivated, burned-over, cut-over and barren land. On the 7,000,000 acres of timber land there is at the present time approximately 260,000,000,000 feet of standing timber, This timber is being cut and burned at the rate of approximately 8,000,000 fe annually. The cutting, sawing, manufac- turing and marketing of this timber is the largest industry in the state. It is the lumber industry that is respon- sible for our prosperity. The doll made in this industry find their w to the pockets of the laboring man and every industry in the state; therefore, it is essen- tial that every citizen do everything he or she can to protect the source of the raw material that will keep the lumber industry going. The chief obstacle in the way of main- taining our lumber industry is forest fires. If we keep fires out of the forests nature will do the rest. The United States forest service, the state forest service, and the Washington Forest Fire association are doing every- thing they can to prevent and suppress forest fires, but, on account of the rapidly increasing population and the increasing facilities for people to get out into the timbered regions, it is impossible for the several fire prevention organizations to cope with the fire situation unless they have the strenuous co-operation of every citizen. Keeping fires out of our forests not only promotes the lumber industry, which P P Answers to Your Qu drags along. Continuance after con- tinuance, as attorneys for the defendants try method after method to pick flaws in the indictment or to crawl out of harm's way thru some loophole in the law. It's the old, old game of trying to wear down the opposition and, by long argu- ments over technicali to make every body sick of the case before it really gets to trial. The stage hands now are cleaning up the props from the last act. There won't really be anything of interest to the pub- lic in the Olmsted case until the stage is cleared and the show is really ready to start. An Honor Deserved N THE new half-cent stamp bearing the likeness of Capt. Nathan Hale the United States has conferred an unusual honor. Up to this time only former presi- dents, Martha Washington and Benjamin Franklin, first postmaster general, have been honored on postage stamps. Hale was only 21 old when the British hanged him one Sunday morning in New York. He had been graduated from Yale only two years before. When the war broke out he was teaching school. He served in a Connecticut regiment thru the siege of Boston. In the spring of 1775 he was commissioned captain and in September undertook his hazardous mission behind enemy lines. And it was on September 22 that his story ended with the dignified and patriotic words that have immortalized him. What Wealth Buys HE richest children in the world— probably Henry Ford’s grandchil- dren. But don’t envy them.
