IF ONLY DANIEL WEBSTER WERE HERE! How wrong this statesman would be
when he dismissed the whole Oregon area as perfectly useless, saying on one oc
casion:
• “What can we do with the Western Coast, rockbound. cheerless
uninviting and not a harbor in it.”
• “We have no use for such a country.”
• “I will never vote one cent from the public treasury to place the
the Pacific Ocean one inch nearer Boston!”
Yes, there was nothing but forests. But pioneers prevented a short circuit in
America's line of progress
• Oregon is America’s greatest lumbering state
• Every year since 1938, more than 26 million acres of commercial
forests are harvested
• Oregon’s lumber goes to every state in the Union and many
foreign countries
• Forest products reach the total average of $803,375,000 a year
• Oregon produces about one-fourth of the nation’s lumber output.
Had Daniel Webster still lived today, he would have seen these great ac
complishments of our American lumbering pioneers in Oregon:
