This mill bqgan operation i-.u-e.5day, March 16. The mill is atcd in the mouth of Cedar Creek ,iiiile the timber comes from Nation-il Nation-il Forest lands in Cow Fork of tne same creek. F'or a number of years a discussion 'letween foresters has been carried on vith regard to the largest trees found ,n the world. Harry D. Tienrann ot the Forest Products Laboratory ha this to say with regard to this question: quest-ion: "While in Australia in 1922, I i.ook particular pains to ascertain the facts regarding the tallest trees. At the Melbourne Exposition- in I S 8 S a prize was given for correct information as to the talle-.1 iving tree in Ati3trallia. The best vas an account of a Eucalyptus t'Ofciians near Mt. Bau Bau 32 6 feet, .-.'absquenitly one was found at Gipps-:and, Gipps-:and, Victoria, said to have been 375 ;eet high, both of which, however, have 'been destroyed. It seems provable, pro-vable, that taller trees once existeo .ut mere are no unquestionable re oords, and unfortunately these giant? have 'long sine gone into smoke or beet, split into palings. I measured a standing tree over 3 00 feet hfeh and saw a fallen one 17 feet in diameter ux feet above the roots, which had probabely fallen a century ago. The .'argest existing Australian trees to lay range from 300 to 320 feet in night and from six to eight feet i diameter above the root swelling. I hey are magnificently stright and 'led-, the firit large branches often being 100 to 200 feet above the ground Eucalyptus (amydalina) reg-uans reg-uans the Mountain Ash" of Victoria i the largest, though it is closely ollowed by the Karri (E. diversico-irj diversico-irj of Western Australia. iuus ine supremacy in height of living trees of the world goes to the , morian tree Sequoia! But not so as ' 'o vdlume. Many foresters are un-' un-' 'iware that the ,-r.satest lumber vol u-me is pos-nssed by a New Zealan., free belonging to the pine Family, fhe Kauri (Dammara austrailis. )' One living tree is said to contain 195 "10 board feet and another, now destroyed, des-troyed, contained 220,000 .'board feet Thei Kauri, however, are not as tall as the Sequoia." Ranger Thur-day was on the sick I'st two days during the past week Supervisor Humphrey spent last week, March 9 to 13 inclusive in ls11 Lak6' n 0fflcial 'bui Mr. George E. Holman, who is in charge of the work of predatory animal control in Utah, was a visitor at the Supervisor's office on March 13. Mr. Holman reports the work of in uepartment a.3 moving along in about the usual way. He complain ed, however, that due to the open ''inter coyotes had not been taking as many baits as they do when the weather ir, colder. This is a very modest way of looking at it; why n. ay that the animal have been killed off to such an extent that only a few remain to take the baits put out tithe ti-the trappers?
