working on a prospect north of this

Spokane Lumbermen Insist He Is
Mistaken and Overestimates
Increase of Forest Growth.
SPOKANE. Wash.. July 11. (Spe
cial.) 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. They are free
to express themselves that Weyer
haeuser Is mistaken, and overestimates
the value and amount of the natural
increase of timber on land.
J. A. 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."
