Missoula —Jan.24:—Value of
ber cut from thc national forests
of thc northern Rocky Mountain
region for the last quarter of 1947
amounted to $452.218. a 21 percent
increase over a similar period
1946, according to a quarterly re
port released by the Forest Service.
This represented a total volume
of 131 million board feet, which.
converted to a lumber tally would
be sufficient to build 15,700 five
room homes, according to Axel
Lindh, regional chief of timber man-1

CUT SHOWS INCREASE
agement. The significance of this
figure is in the fact that wood is
still used for exterior building ma
terial for close to 82 percent of
residential construction in the
United States, and much of this cut
will be used for home building.
Of the total volume cut, 15.2
percent came from the Kaniksu, 10
percent from the Coeur d'Alene,
and 9. 1 percent from the Nezperce
national forests in Idaho. In Mon
tana, thc Flathead produced 14.7
percent and the Kootenai 9.1 per
cent. Cut on the other 12 forests
amounted to 42 percent of the total,
. . ,
Fire of unknown origin Thursday
afternoon of last week resulted in,
an estimated damage of between
$500 and $1,000 at thc home of l\Ær.
and Mrs. Robert Gehrke, 1202
Dakota.
The family was absent when the
fire started. Mrs. Gehrke, who had
been down town during the after
was returning home aboüt
4:00 o'clock when she noticed smoke
coming from an upstairs window.
Attempting to enter the house andj
put in the alarm, she was unable
to reach the telephone on account
of thick smoke. Stepping back in
to the street, she met Mrs. Gordon
Slauson, who drove at once to the
South Libby Store and turned in j
the alarm. Good work on the part (
of Libby's fire company saved the
home, but the blaze had been under
way so long before it was discovered |
that serious damage was sustained;
from both smoke, heat and water,
in addition to the blaze.
The fire apparently originated be- ;
tween the kitchen floor and the:
basement ceiling. Everything stored J
in the basement was damaged, the,
kitchen floor and several doors were i
ruined; much of the family's cloth-|p
ing was damaged or ruined by the
smoke and the entire interior of the
house will have to be refinished and,
redecorated. The loss is partially
covered by insurance.
The volume of timber sold for
future cutting during the last
months of 1947 amounted to 75 mil-j
lion board feet in comparison with)
109 million during the same period
of 1946. Decrease of 35 million board
feet in volume under contract in
dicates a reduction of receipts for
1948. One-fourth of the money
from timber sales and other re
ceipts from national forests is avail
able to the states in lieu of taxes
on federally owned land. The states
distribute the money to counties in
which national forest are located,
for school and road nurposes.

The Blackfeet Indians attempted to
come into this section through
Manas Pass but were defeated by
the Kootenais. Mr, David told an
old legend that had come down from
one generation to another why the
Indians stopped raising tobacco in
this section. Much of the materia!
he has compiled comes from the
Indians who come each summer to
,:irk huckleberries south of town.
