DESCRIBES NEW
DISCOVERY
IStcfansson Completes the
Chart of Northeast ('oast
LIES ABOUT 100 MILES NORTH
OF PRINCE PATRIC
Satisfied by Vilhaiamnr Stefan*
son's announcement that he is alive
and well on Ranks Land in the Arctic
explorers and geographers directed at
tention to the new hrnd he reports
| he has found in the far north.
In Stefansson's own report the new
J ly discovered land is located near 75
I degrees north latitude and 117 de
j grees "rest longitude. He actually
j saw about 100 miles of coast line run
I :iing in an easterly direction and ap
i rarcitly penetrating to a distance
, twenty miles inland where from a hill
top the explorer saw mountains at a
; distance of fifty miles.
Cyrus C. Adams, president of the
; Association of American Geographers,
j declared in a statement today that
[Stefansson’s new land lies about 100
| miles to the north- of Prince Patric
; Island and that the most southerly
j part of the land which the explorer
visited is considerably to the ea*t of
j the most eastward extension of Prince
i Patric Island. The lands nearest to
| it, Mr. Adams said- are the Polynia
i Islands, a little group about seventy
five or eighty miles from the new
| land.
Mr. Adams said the most northern
I part of the new land as far as Stef
| season saw it appears*! to be far
: ther north than any other land in the
great Perry Archipelago t« thnor*
j of the American continent. Mr.
j Adams expressed the opinion that the
! land discovered by Stefanssoa rises
i from the continental shelf in sbal
! *>jW waters that s>rn) >t» 1 the Per
ry Archipelago and that its discovery
shows that this part of the Arctic
| ocean is comparatively shallow.
Mr. Adams also pointed out that an
ether notable achievement was Stef
vnsson "s eompletion of the charting
| of the northeast coast of Prince Pat
Tie Island.

BRIEF REPORT OF
FOREST SERVICE
xi.lEER TAKEN FROM NATIONAL
FORESTS WORTH OVER
$200,000
Of the 699. 922,006 board feet of
timber cut on the National Forests
during the fiscal year ended June 30,
1915, according to statistics just com
piled by the United States Forest
Service, 123.169,900 feet was taken
| under free-use permits giver to set
' tiers and others living in or near
National Forests. There were 40,000
j free-use permits, and the vahib of
the timber they cut was 4206.464.13.
The remainder, or 565,754,000 board
feet was cut under sales coutracts, for
the most part with lumber operators,
but including 19,246,000 feet sold at
cost to farmers and settlers, as re
quired by special provision of law.
The prices received for all sold tim
; her varied from 50 cents to 44 per
: thousand feet, and the total value
j was 41.179,449.39.
The statement shows that the For
! ests of Alaska are furnishing a large
! i.inonut of timber for local eonsump
11ion. More than 37.000,000 feet, ac
■ cording to the Forest Service, were
! cut nn>ler sales contracts during the
1 fiscal year in the two National For
lests of Alaska, and it is estimated
that the quantity taken under the
free-use privilege amounts to at least
10 per cent, of that cut under sales.
No figures are available on the Alas
ka free-use cut, however, as residents
of the Territory are allowed, on ac
count of the relatively sparsity of the
population to take all the timber they
need for personal use without going
through any formalities.
Outside of Alaska permits are is
sue,! to those entitled to share in the
free-use privilege, as a means of pre
venting its abuse and to regulate this
form of utilization along lines which
will tend to improve the forest condi
tions. The material taken by free-use
permits is restricted largely to dead,
insect-infested, or diseased timber,
thinnings, and inferior species. Forest
officers often set aside suitable areas
from which those granted free-use
| under the terms of the law may help
themselves under certain general rules
but where green timber will be cut
the trees to be used are designate.^
just as in all timber sales. The a
mount of free-use material allowed in
dividuals is limited to twenty dol
lars ' worth yearly.
Montana leads the National For
est States in the amount of timber
-ot under sales, with more than 101,
0w,0(H) feet, but takes second place
in the free-use cut, with 18-000,000
feet. Idaho leads the free-use list,
with a cut of nearly £5,000,400 feet,
and is close second in the amount of
timber cut under sales contracts, with
| over 1 ,000,000 feet. Oregon, Colo
I: ado. Washington, Arizona, California,
i Wyoming, Utah, New Mexico, and
South Dakota, in the order named,
contribute from 60,000,000 to 24,000,
000 feet under both free use and
sales. The middle western and east
