i TnE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX. PORTLAND. AUGUST 1, 1920 V FORESTS ARE RAPIDLY 60 Per Cent Uncut Timber . Found in Northwest. YELLOW PINE NEARLY GONE Representative Fordney -Sounds Warning Before Gathering in California. EUREKA. Cal., July 31. (Special.) Sixty per cent of the uncut timber In the United Sstates "is contained in the rapidly diminishing- forests in the states of Washington, Oregon, Idah,o, Nevada and California, and within 20 years that timber will be reduced to lumber, Representative Joseph W. Fordney, chairman o the congress ional ways and means committee, an nounced on his recent visit to Eureka in the interest of his timber holdings In the states of California, Oregon and Washington. "But 20 per cent of the once con sidered inexhaustible long leaf yel low pine forests of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia now remain," Representative Fordney said, "and that small proportion of the for mer pine forests will be exhausted within a very few years now." Start Was Lowly. The chairman of the national lower house ways and means committee began bis career as a "timber cruiser" In his youth, back in his native state Michigan for the Boston -& Maine railroad, long before that road had taken its present name, and his years of experience in timber, together with the fact that he is one of the largest timber owners in California, Oregon and Washington, stamps him as an authority on timber in North America. Representative Fordney further stated that Canadian timber owners were just awakening to the fact that the shortage of timber threatening the United States, but reflects their own predicament. Canadian mill operators were for a long time under the impression that, to quote them, "back behind us there is a supply of uncut timber for years to come," but recent careful surveys of the "back behind us" lands devel oped the fact that fully 40 per cent of the available timber had already been cut, manufactured and used. Mill Men Awakening. I'he same thought had been enter , tained by mill operators in the Pa cific coast section of the United States until recently, he said, but American mill men everywhere have at last awakened to see the end of the timber manufacturing industry in North America. Representative Fordney's public an nouncement of "the end of the saw milling industry in the United States" was made at a banquet in Eureka re cently in connection with his advice to lnmheriner and banking" interests here tQ h aster their efforts to have the government through congress ional appropriations to "set aside a tract of the remaining Sequoias as a lasting memento of the Pacific coast states' former great forests of giant trees." PRINCE PROVEN FRAUD Man Masquerading as Former Kaiser's Son Is Identified. PARIS. July 31.
