TIMBER IS OF HIGHEST GRADE 25,500,000,000 Feet Included in One Body. SUPPLY WILL LAST YEARS Freight Rates to East Hamper Wash' lngton Mill Men, Restricting Markets for Second-Grade Material Which Is Wasted. BI HARRY J. BROWN. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington. June 13. The Government is "conserving" 25,500,000,000 board feet ' of tjmber in the Olympic National for est In Northwestern Washington, con serving it for future use, and along with this enormous stand of timber, count less water powers, within easy reach, of the cities of Puget Sound, are held up awaiting some determination by Congress as to how such natural re sources shall be put to practical use. The Olympic National forest, embody ing large portions of Clallam. Jeffer son, Chehalis and Mason counties, con tains one of the heaviest stands of tim ber In the United States, according to the Forest Service. This forest is be lieved to be capable of producing a sustained annual yield of 750,000,000 board feet. But as most of the timber is to be held In reserve, no such amount is likely to be cut In any year of the Immediate future. Rate-Affects Cut. The Forest Service has just issued an elaborate bulletin on the Olympic National forest, which in part says: "The best estimates so far made show that the merchantable timber .on the forest is made up of Douglas fir,' 9,435,000,000 feet, or 37 per cent; West ern hemlock, 8,925,000,000 feet, or 35 per cent; amabilis and grand fir, 3,825. 000,000 feet, or 15 per cent; Sitka spruce, 2,040,000,000 feet, or 8 per cent, and Western red and Alaska cedar, 1,275,000,000 feet, .or 5 per cent. Of the 854,050 acres which it covers, 846, 320 acres bear stands from 200 to 500 years old; 5800 acres bear stands from 120 to 400 years old; .450 acres bear stands from 80 to 120 years old, and 1480 acres bear stands from 60 to 80 years old. "Today, outside of the small amount used locally, the timber cut and manu factured . In Washington goes to the Rocky Mountain, Middle and Eastern States by rail shipment and by water to Southern California and all parts of the world. Under present conditions It Is impossible for the lumbermen of tne Northwest coast to ship their timber of lower grade beyond the '40-cent zone.' and sell It with profit In com petition with Southern pine. This "40 cent zone" extends little farther east than Denver, and,' in consequence, the territory In which the lumbermen of the Northwest can dispose of their lower-grade timber Is an exceedingly restricted " one. "Rates on cargo shipments to Eu rope and the Orient vary from $10 to J20 per 1000 board feet. Under present logging practice, small logs less than 15 inches in diameter contain such a large percentage of second-grade ma- terlal that It rarely pays to lumber them. As a result a vast amount of material which could be sold if the price was higher or the freight rate lower is entirely wasted. More timber is left on the ground after logging in Western Washington than constitutes the virgin stand in the Lake States and the pineries of the South. Timber Is Not Depreciating. "While practically all 'of the timber on the forest is mature, on the whole It Is not decreasing in either quality or value. The older Douglas fir in many places is gradually dropping out, but the loss from this source is made up by growth In the other species. Hemlock, the growth of which will largely balance the loss from Douglas fir, while not now as valuable as the other species, will in all probability ap proach it in value in the future. The timber on a National forest such as the Olympic, situated In a heavily forested region, is meant primarily as an asset from which the future supply can be drawn. "A large portion of the timber on the forest, moreover. Is at bresent inac cessible. No. part of the stand on the western portion, amounting to approx imately 67 per cent of the total, can be logged until a railroad is con structed along that side of the penin sula. Several surveys by different rail roads have already been made, and it is possible that- a line will be built in the near future. "Many of the streams which bead in the forest have great possibilities for power development. Soleduck River and Lake Crescent, and the Elwha, Skokomlsh, Hoh, Queets, Wynootche. Clearwater. Kalawa, Bogachlel. and Quenlult rivers have a volume of water which holds out possibilities for the operation of commercial power planij. Many smaller streams, such- as the ' Dungeness, Quilcene. Dusewallips, and (Concluded on Pase 1 f
