But the time of the cutting-of - all of Oregon's timber is probably far removed, as more than half of the total acreage is included in the Government Forest Reserves. .The principal species are Douglas fir(Oregon pine), spruce, hemlock, red and Port Orford, cedar, sugar and yellow pine. Oregon forests furnish some of the state's most magnificent scenery, and many roads are built into the depths of the big woods, so that the tourist, plunging in his machine through the Titanic aisles, where there is a green gloom and the air is cool at midday in Summer, may . behold and marvel. , One of the best-known forest roads is that from Medford to Crater Lake, over which thousands of automobiles pass each Summer. - -' -few. i . s , . s v -J.
