B. T. ALLEN VISITS SOUTH SEA ISLANDS 



Completing on ocean trip of some 8,860 miles, E. T. Allen, forester of the Western 

 Forestry and Conservation Association, has returned from Tahiti, and again taken up the 

 great work of forest fire prevention. Mr. Allen contracted the Society Island habit some 

 years ago. On his return to Portland after this last trip he said the South Sea Islands^ 

 looked better than ever before, with crop prospects down there indicating a probable increase 

 in the use of fir from Oregon and Washington.
