OLD TIMBER CUTTING
HINTS HT RNTIQUmr
j Why should a man fell a tree two
and a half feet in diameter in the
j center of a valley, five miles from
the shore line, and this with an
axe and leave no other mark to dis
turb the virginity of the forest?
This puzzle confronted moose
hunters a few days ago while they
fought their way through tangled
alders, devil’s clubs and decaying
deadfalls.
The find was made on the left
fork of a creek a mile beyond the
terminus of the Nash road. From
the fallen tree a cut approximately
40 feet in length had been taken.
The stump was rotted to the
ground and the fragment of the
unused portion fell way at the
touch.
Conclusions drawn are to the ef
fect that the early Russian sought
a sizeable stick of timber. It was
not to be found in the forest then
possibly boasting growth only suit
able for cabin poles or cross ties.
Search for evidence of blazing or
trail cutting failed to reveal a
scratch or stump. That the cut
has great antiquity is evidenced
by the fact that the decayed end
of the tree lies between two trees
each of which are more than a foot
in diameter, with limbs growing
over the fallen monarch, and minus
any marks of contact such as would
have been caused if a large tree
had been dropped between them.
A curve in one of the trees and the
position of its roots indicate that
it was a mere sapling when the
chopper dropped his tree in its
present position.
There are a thousand trees of
equal diameter and perfection
miles nearer Seward than the one
cut. To get such a stick of timber
out of the woods would require
much slashing, even if attempted
on the snow.

HIT AND HUN DRIVER
PLOWS THRU CROWS OF
YOUTHS ONE HILLED
SAN MATEO, Oct. 5. (£>)— One
youth is dead, his sweeheart is per
haps fatally injured, and three
other young men are painfully hurt
as the result of what police declare
is one of the most heartless and
brutal cases of hit and run driving
on record in these parts.
The crash occurred when a party
of motorcyclists had halted on the
Bayshore highway while one of
their number fixed his machine.
Two speeding automobiles plowed
through the crowd and kept going.
The dead youth is Clyde McGov
ern, nephew of Coroner J. c. Mc
Govern of San Mateo county and
also of Supervisor Frank J. McGov
ern of San Francisco. The others
injured are Ray Eddy, Elmer Shee
han and Hal Dahlen, all of San
Francisco.
OANES FIND FAULT WITH
U.S. EFFORT VIRGIN ISLES
COPENHAGEN, Oct. 5. (£>)—
Some sharp criticism of the low
state to which the Virgin Islands
have fallen since their sale by
Denmark to the United States has
been heard here.
The chief plaint is that the
j 'orited States has failed to fulfill
a moral obligation to compensate
the Islanders for their loss of the
'bay rum industry thru enactment
[ of prohibition laws or to provide
j some other means of livelihood.
“President Hoover recently call
ed the Virgin Islands the poorhouse
of the United States, but nothing
effective is being done to prevent
their becoming a pauper’s church
yard,” said Hans Nielsen, chair
man of a number of Parliamen
tary committees, who recently re
turned from a trip there.
“When Denmark agreed to sell
the Islands to America we believ
ed an era of prosperity was at
hand for them. But the ever
growing unemployment has been
catastrophic”.
