MOSSBACKISM PAYS ONCE
Demand and High Prices Come
at Opportune Time
The great demand for lumber, for
both foreign and domestic use,
has put a premium on conserva
tism for once, and Oregon will
reap a great reward for its moss
backism. Seattle and Tacoma
built greatly on the profits of
the Washington forests when
logs and lumber were cheap.
Oregon s capital shied at big
lumber investment with the re
sult that Portland grew in spite
of lethargy. With logs going
nit of sight and lumber over dou
ble back-time prices, Oregon will
reap millions of benefit in the
next 20 years. Today the scene
of lumber activity is shifting
from the Sound to the Oregon
country.
