THE COOS BAY TIMES, MARSHFIELD, OREGON, SATURDAY, MAY 29, 1.909 EVENING EDITION i FIX VALUES 0 COVEKXMENTS INCOME FROM SALE OP TIMHER OFF RE SERVES STKAIMLV INCREAS ING REASONS FOK SALES. PORTLAND, Ore., May 29. A good indication of the Increasing use to which the National Forests of Oregon and Washington are put by people of the northwest is the in crease in the timber sale work for the last three months over the same period last year in the District For est Service headquarters in this city where all the business connected with the selling of national forest timber is now handled. More than 4 0 sales of stumpage have been ini tiated. One sale is for 93,000,000 board feet, but most of the sales are for smaller amounts. Many of the sales are wholly or in part of dead timber, chiefly fire kill ed, and all of the sales are so con ducted that the forest is really bene fited by removing the timber. When green timber Is cut it is chiefly the overmature or fully ripe timber that is taken. If a clean cutting is made, as is usually the method in the pou glas fir type, it is done In such a way that reproduction will replace the stand that is removed. Where a stand Is not cut clean the selection method is used and only the mature nnd unthrifty trees are taken, leav ing perhaps half the stand to grow and form the basis for another sim ilar cutting 20 or 30 years from now. A rather unusual sale is now pend ing up near Lake Chelan, Washing ton, in which a rarrow strip of yel low pine and Douglas fir 100 to 400 feet wide and 2 miles long is to be sold and will be cut clean along the crest of a high ridge. The sale is made In this way In order to pro vldo a fire break on the crest of this ridge, there being great danger in this place of fire sweeping up one slope and running down the other side. The logs will bo transported along the top of the ridge. Natural ly the haul will vary, hence a slid ing scale of prifes varying from $1 to ?2 per thousand feet has been fixed according to the distance from the Lake. Some of the prices received by the Forest Service under competitive bidding show that loggers do not find it costly or troublesome to log under the restrictions Imposed by the government The following list gives some sample prices that have been received by the Forest Service: Yellow pine $3.25 per M. White fir $1.35 per M. Douglas fir $2.50perM. Western hemlock . . .$1.75 per M. Rod cedar $3.00 per M. During the past field season, es timates of the timber on each of the 23 national forests of Washington, Oregon and Alaska have beon made, as an Inventory to guide the govern ment in the management of this na tional property. The reports of these estimates, which are not yet fully completed, show that thero aro over 3 90 billion feet of saw-timber, nsldo sorno hundreds of million of cords of wood, on the 40,000,000 ' acres of nationa1 forests in Oregon, Washington and Alaska. With these rstlmates ns a basis, the amount that can bo safely cut on each na tional forest ench year will bo cal culated, and this flguro set as an ab soluto limit to tho annual cut. In tho eastern part of tho district cer tatn areas, chiefly sparsely forested slopes at the hoadwators of impor tant watersheds, aro set aside as protection forests and hero no cut ting will bo allowed. But on ovor !5 per cont of tho national forests, rales of stumpage will bo allowed up to tho amount of tho safety limit, for tho service considers it very de sirablo that thip timber should bo put to uso rather than deteriorate through ago. Applications to purchase aro wolcomed and special Inducements will bo offered to dts poso of over-mature or dead timber. NOTICE.

Once upon a time a largo Fir Log was floating down a beautiful stream of water. The stream was a glori ous thing that flowed along amid trees of perpetual greenness, and the great Fir Log which it carried on its bosom was being borne rapidly on towards a. beach of wonderful richness whero wealth and greatness were to be found, and where such great Fir Logs were made useful to the world. This Fir Log was needed upon the Beach because the people of the world desired just such a log on the Golden Beach for tho purpose of making themselves homes to which theymight'jnvlty their neighbors of tho world vrm lived at great dis tances from Hie Golden Beach. Now it caray tc pass that upon the banks of the stream there were many people who were anxious to have the Log guided Into tho centre of the stream and there kept until it arriv ed at the beach. They also wanted to have the Log kept away from cer tain shallow places where it might become caught and held and its usefulness destroyed. With this thought in their minds they selected from among them divers representa tives who were deemed by them to be strong swimmers and charged them with the duty of steering the Log away from tho shoals and shallow places and landing it safe and secure upon the Beach But, lo! the Chosen Ones had no sooner been placed in their exalted positions that they began to discuss among themselves tho value each of them had to tho community and there came about much, dissension and strife between these exalted ones. For a time the Common People along the banks watched with Interest the quarreling anE the words of dissension and" strife, and there were those who even forgot the desire to have the Log landed' where It would become a good thing for the World. But presently while the Exalted Ones were quarrelling, the Log drift ed upon a sandy bar and there It stuck and refused to be moved. While It was stuck upon the bar, the beautiful stream became muddy with the spring freshets and much! mud came down and lodged In and" about the Log and at last it became buried and lost to tho Golden' Beach and to the world, and because- there of the Common People suffered much anguish and pain and became sore land afflcted and were much inclined I to severely punish the exalted" ones (for their disdeeds. But Common (People are forgiving and in the end jthe Exalted Ones and their faults "were forgotten and many of the people moved away from the stream and the Log and the Golden Beach became things of tho past. The homes were never built for the peo ple of tho world and the Golden Beach still lies in its virgin glory with its usefulness lost and Its merits forgotten. Moral.
