Lumbermen of Spokane were aroused by statements of Frederick Weyerhaeuser, president of the Weyer haeuser Timber Company, of Seattle, that the timber supply of the United States Is Inexhaustible.

Tormey, former superintendent of city schools, but now interested in the sale of timber lands, said: "It is common knowledge that the timber supply of the Middle West Is exhausted. There are only 10 sawmills along the Mississippi today, where there were formerly about 50. Bulletin i of the United States Forestry Service says that the value of the stumpage regions of the Central West is 20 per thousand feet, in Michigan $15 to J18 and in Minnesota from $5 to $12. Stumpage of the same kind here sold for $1. In many parts of that coun try where timber was worthless a few years ago, the stump land has become valuable."
