E of Oregon's greatest natural
resources is its timber. To as-
,sist in the perpetuation of this great
resource, and at the same time to
make productive lands otherwise
lying idle, the United States forest
service is actively engaged in the
reforestation of timber lands within
the national forests denuded bv f ire.
Millions of acres in the national
forests of Oregon have been swept by
forest fires and the Umber destroyed.
Fortunately, the greater part of these

lands are reproducing naturally and,
given adequate protection from fire.

As in the past the opening: up of
the timber made the old northwest in
the great white pine country, so the
cutting of the southern yellow jl'ne
has aided materially in the develop
ment and enrichment of the - south.
And so will the manufacturing of the
great stands of Douglas fir, cedar,
spruce, pine, hemlock an larch fur
nish employment for thousands a,nd
turn a raw product Into tangible
wealth to be used in the further de
velopment of the Pacific northwest.
Portland is rapidly becoming the
lumber center of the coast. And why
not? A study of the standing tim

The mill population is by no means

unlimited cargo movement and one
which will ultimately attract the ton

The exportation of lumber during
the year 1919 has shown appreciable -gain
over that of 1918 though it is
still sub-normal. The normal export
total from the Pacific northwest is
approximately 600,000,000 feet, or
about 10 per cent of the total cut.
The- total exported in 1919 will run a
little over 350,000.000 feet.
The failure to resume export trade
on a normal basis is due bth to a

iOLLOWING the signing of the
armistice suspending hostilities
between the nations which were
at war In November, 1918, and the
subsequent return of the soldiers to
their homes, a serious question of
duty and, justice to thoso who de
fended the nation arose in the minds
of the people.
In the light of this obligation and
duty the legislatures of a number o'f
the states. In addition to providing a
cash bonus for soldiers, sailors and
marines, made provision also for
completing the education of those
whose education, had been interrupt
ed at periods variously of from sev
eral months to more than two years.

The past year has seen many new
markets opened up to the coast. Large.
shipments of railroad ties have been
made to Egypt and exporters are
confident that the movement to Mes
opotamia of railroad timbers and ties
will assume large proportions in the
near future.
Of particular interest to exporters
is the vowed intention of the Austra
lian government to encourage on
large scale the farm settlement plan
for ex-service men. By this plan the
men are placed ' on farms equipped
with buildings, etc.. and the payments
for the same are extended over a long
period of years;

The fact that Cuba, just off the east

naturally to the question "Why?"
With few exceptions there can be but
one enswer. That it was not to lie

ihe tune is nut far distant when the
lumber produced in the south will bo
used in tile south that is, south of
the Mason-Dixon lino, or, in, other
words, south of the Ohio and the
Lotomac. He it as it may, the fact
today is that the territory open to
the Pacific coast producer in the
United states has been immeasurably
increased in the past three years.
The production on the coast is In
creasing and that in the south na
turally decreasing. The cut for 1919
on the coast is estimated at about
7.000.1(00.000 as against 6,000.000.000
in 1918, and this in view of the fact
that the total production of lumber of
all varieties in the United States will
probably be nearly Il.ooo, 000,000 feet
less in 1919 than in 191S. The short
age being principally in the southern
