dred wolves out on the Steppes. As the first wolf 

 came up he was shot and eaten by the others. This 

 process continued till there was only one left. This 

 one followed him on into town. The Russian admitted 

 Hint the wolf's sides "wobbled a little." 



Careful Cutting Makes Woodlot Profitable- 

 Neighbors Should Cooperate in Marketing 



With the help of the Forest Service and the county 

 agent, a number of farmers who live in Hangman 

 Valley, Wash., just north of the Palouse Division of 

 the St. Joe Forest, are cooperating this year in the 

 sale of about 300,000,000 feet of timber. 



A Request for Aid 



Last fall the Forest Service was requested to aid 

 these farmers in disposing of a considerable amount 

 of timber on their claims. It developed that there 

 were approximately 200 settlers who owned about 

 300,000,000 feet of timber which they desired to dis- 

 pose of as a unit in order to attract some company 

 capable of handling the entire proposition. They 

 were, however, unable to agree upon a satisfactory 

 price. The project had been worked up by the local 

 county agent, a former Forest Service man, from 

 whom the request for help came. 



The Forest Service agreed to make an appraisal of 

 the timber and to assist in drawing up a contract and 

 sale conditions. The appraisal was made last spring 

 and a price fixed of about $3.50 per thousand feet.
