The Timber Situation Isn't Bad . . .
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.

T his is th e idea, which I have been
leading up to. T he sensation which
one receives from .a picture, la rg
ely depends on physiological func
tions. In th e casf c h d r j"*
s ty. the change th a t ta k e s place
in th e pupil, is the prim e physiol
ogical factor.
J u s t as one experiences a feeling
m y stery and 1». w ilderm ent,
w hen he first e n te rs a darkened
movie th e a tre , to a lessor degree.
he experiences a sim ilar sensation
v hen confronted w ith a very d a rk
p icture. T he reverse ta k e s place
w hen looking at, for exam ple, a
huge im pressionistic painting of
w hite sand. It takes a while for
th e eye to adjust to so m uch light.
Today's topic is only one ex
am ple, in a to ta l chain of facts,
which convinced th is w rite r th a t
a rt is a q u a n tita tiv e , and not a
q u a lita tiv e study.

A fte r one has been in d a r k n o

ex planation, as to how this ad-

surrounding: are dark, the pupil
of the eye autom atically opens
to let in n re light, and if the
light is t< o bright, it co ntracts.

to a c c u ra tely m easure the changes
in the size of th e pupil, I took
eicse-up photographs L ig h t-m eter
readings w ere taken of th e ob

age, based on d a ta obtained from
several people, was in co rp o rated
into a single chart.
W hen a person moves from one

to fit each picture. T he R em
