Forestry Office Notes Supervisor Sylvester Leaves for Portland

Forestry officials report Supervisor Sylvester departed last Sunday for Portland to meet with district supervisors and discuss the forest fire outlook and summer plans. Henry Blankenship will depart next Monday for North Yakima to testify in a contested homestead case. Small timber sales to homesteaders and locals continue as wood fuel sells cheaply, attracting buyers. New sheepmen seek grazing permits in the Wenatchee forest while former graziers retire and leases fill quickly. H. G. Bahlke considers a large Olalla and Williams canyons lease for 200 Jersey cows, pending proper barns and sheds. Assistant Forester McKenzie from Portland stopped to discuss grazing with the local office.
