A meeting Thursday night, held by the Chambci of Commerce, and attended by timber men and mill operators in the area was a good turn out. Several im portant things were brought out that could affect the enonoiny of the community. The idea of the meeting itself was a g<xxl one. There is no reason that the businessmen and the man ufacturing people of the area can t sit down and discuss their various problems. Of main concern to the Chamber of Commerce is the possibility of a derth of timber in the area. I low ever, that possibility didn’t seem to bother the mill own ers in attendance too much. 1 hey Ixlieved that they hau .in access to timber far in excess of the io year limit whit h hid been ascribed to them. However, admittedly, they don’t have their hands on that timber. It was brought out that between the \\ inchuck and the Pistol River 115,000,000 board feet of timber is cut each year. Of this 5,000,000 feet is hauled to California. A report from the US. Forest Service said th.it a very conservative estimate—a close guess—would show that there is perhaps 2,000,000,000 feet of public timber left in the immediate area, and about 1 ,ooo,<x>o,o<x) feet of private timber. At the present rate of cut, barring the possibility of new mills, this pi n ate tunlxr would he used up in approximately ten ycais. However, let us not he alanu ists. In the first place, much of our present timber c o iu e s in from outside this aiea. In the second place, it more utilization were made of the existing lumber, and th wastes cut down, the pericxl of time that the timber would hold out would lx* extended considerably. In the thud place, other resources, such as hardwaxnl, our tour 1st industry, minerals, and other should lx* tapjxd Iretter in the next 10 years In the fourth place, the timbermcn feel that there is actually quite a bit more private timber than the 1 billion feet figure. So, there is no iced to start thinking of selling your house and buying .1 trailer. Brookings is here to stay. Il is, in fact, in unenviable position compared to a good many other lumber communities. One important thing brought out at the meeting was the annual allowable cut from the U. S. National Forest. It is suposedly 2O,ocx),cxx) feet a year. I low ever, that quota was never hit yet, and won t he this year, lx < mse of lack of help at the Ranger Station here tor ap praisals, and road-work. One thing we can do, is to apply pressure to the F o r e s t Service headquarters to let Ranger Ragland have some adequate help, so that this district can get what they have coming — that 20,oix),ooo feet a year. --------- 1 I— SAFECO doe: it the common-sent* way: Cuts losses ay insuring careful drivers only; m is costs by modern machine policy issuing nwthods, You saw Call us today. \ au to in s u r a n c e ..
