GRIZZLY CREEK BIDS$33,080 FOR STUMPAGE NEAR COLUMBIA HILL A sales contract for $33,080 of stumpage of ponderosa pine, sugar pine, white fire, douglas fir and incense cedar was awarded the. Grizzly Creek Lumber company, according to an announcement by Robert E. Dasmann, assistant forest supervisor of Tahoe national forest. Dasman also announced a $55,000 sale of stumpage to American River Pine company of Foresthill. The two timber sales total five and a half million board. feet. Dasmann added that an estimated 60,000,000’ feet of public timber will ‘be cut this year in the Tahoe national forest. This will be twice as much timber as ‘. has ever been cut in any one year previously. _Dasmann.: attributed the huge increase to constructtion of access roads in isolated areas, and market conditions that are creating a great demand for fir lumber. Dasmann broke down. the sales eontract to the Grizzly Creek company as $20 per thousand for ponderosa pine, $21.50 for sugar pine, $5 for white fire, $7.25 for douglas fir and $4for incense cedar. This timber is all located in the Long Point area close to Columbia Hill. The American River Pine company was awarded the sale on “bid prices of $25.10 for ponderosa and sugar pine, $10 for white fir, $15 for douglas fir and $3 for incénse cedar. This timber is located in the Baker divide area, in the vicinity of Baker ranch, Placer county. Dasmann pointed out that all sales of national forest timber are made as the result of competitive bidding and the award is made to the bidder whose quotation results in greatest income to the national forest. Dasmann explained that™in accordance with the “receipts to states act,” first passed in 1908, 25 percent of all receipts from national forest are returned directly to the counties lying within the forests. In addition, 10 percent of the receipts are returned to the forests for road and trail work. DOUGLAS FIR LANDMARK NEAR SCALES IS CUT A Douglas fir tree, 14% feet in diameter was cut one-half mile above the old Scales hotel by Ben Johnson of the Speckert lumber company, according’ to A. R. Stanley, state division of forestry ranger. The huge fir was a landmark of the Sierra county area. Stanley said the measurement was taken four feet above the ground and that a special permit is necessary to haul over roads the first two or three sections of the leg because of excess weight. Paul Became A New Man Through Christ T. PAUL has often been referred to as the greatest. man in history, next to his Master, Jesus Christ. Measure Paul by any standard you may choose, and his greatness becomes plain. In unquenchable zeal, in courage and endurance, he stands superb-and. supreme. And the greatness of his life had a clear and simple source—his discovery of Jesus and the giving of his life wholly and completely to the dominance of the Master. He was known first as Saul. Why his parents had given him that name is hard to understand, for Saul, first king of Israel, was one of Israel’s tragic failures. However that may be, we find him, as Saul, an intense and earnest young man, brought up in the very strict way of the Pharisees, thoroughly trained in the Jewish Scriptures, having sat at the feet of the great teacher, Gamaliel. How, then, did it come about that this conscientious young man could call himself the “chief of sinners,” and glory in his conversion? The answer is that sincerity is not enough. A man may be intensely and earnestly going in the wrong direction, or doing the wrong things. Saul was intolerant. Saul was a persecutor. His: religion, with all his earnestness, had not taught him the lesson ‘of kindliness and gentleness. There is hope for a man who is honest and sincere, even if he is going in the wrong direction. Get him turned in the right way, and he is a power for good. The Golden Text is in Paul’s ewn words: “If any man be in Christ there is a new creation; old things are passed away, all things have become new.” That was what happened to Paul. him so persistent was his conviction that what happened to him could happen . to fo any man.
