Mr. Lnfcn s'ates that Port 0-fnril while cedar does not grow rnp'd'y and for that reason tho re growth Is being confined to fir. Tho tecond growt'i of fir springs up vory thickly, w" Ich enables youngor trees to free themselvcH of brnnchcH ot their own nrccrd, thero not bolnt; rno:u for branches to grow, nnd thus the growing trees nro mnro doslrnblo fur coniiucrclal pupoues whon thoy get larger; when overcrowded thoy do not grow ns rapidly, but nnturo takes enro of this and tho flttost sur vive On nccour.t of tho cost of la bor In t Is country It Is not prnc- for tho Hlg'.ilnnd Forest Company, tlcnhlo to thin out tho second growth, but nnturo Is left to work out Its own salvation.
