Hayden: 1 enclose a check for one fifty on the Leader. Well, we are having h all through March for snow and wind and it has started ln on April. I don't know when it will quit, but I hope soon. Your, truly, M. Mackey, - 0 WHY MILLS WANT DEEPER WATER BEFORE BUILDING ON YAQUINA BAY Many people do not understand why mills have not already built on Ya. gums Bay as we have the timber, t railroad Into it, and a Bar over whlc a '.mall lumber schooners can easily past In 'he summer months. There are a number of condition) surrounding the marketing ot lumber which effects the price received and it I. these reasons that prevent timber owners from cutting the timber here under the present conditions. Firstly there are numbers ot varie ties and grades ot timber coming out ot the mill as the product of every ucre cut over. The clear lumber out of the Old Growth Fir logs Is made Into flooring, celling, finish lumber and stepping mainly, the rough knotty part Into the large timbers and common lumber. Now the kiln dried , flooring, celling and finish lumber Is shipped by rail back Into the Middle West, the timber, also go Into that country and In some rases of fine quality timbers clear to the Atlantic Beaboard. Australia take, the best kinds of clear Fir, free from sap, while the rough and sappy lumber from the same trees goes Into cargoes for China. London and Copenhagen I and other shipbuilding ports take clear fir ship'decklng and many car goes of Fir go to the West Coast Ot South America. Until the European countries began buying Spruce for Aeroplane work, the clear Spruce wa. kiln dried, made into 4 Finish lumber and shipped by rail, that with some knots was shipped to th great Middle West Door and Window Sash factories to be cut up and take the place of the fast disappearing White Pine, while the very knotty Spruce was used for cutting Into short pieces and making boxes for packing Pacific Coast products. Hemlock Is being used to some ex tent for Finish lumber on the Coast and the retailers ln California put U out as Oregon Pine with the Fir, but the more particular use Is for flooring. It Is claimed to be the best flooring made out of any soft wood and as such is extreemly valuable on the Coast Hemlock withstands the Teredoes a. piling and Is said to be the only wood that will withstand certain Insects In the Phllllplne Islands, where It I. ex pected ihere will be a large future mar ket for this wood. Lumber from all the small Oregon Ports has to go to San Francisco where It Is shipped inland or transhipped onto the large trans-I'actfic boat, for Australia, China and other places. A. a consequence the profit of the middle man at San Francisco and the cost of transhipping comes out of the manu facturer on the small Harbor. Say that thi. would amount to $1.00 per thousand feet, which Is a small esti mate, and deductfng that amount from the standing timber tributary to Ya qulna Bay would mean a loss ot S2o, 000,000 to the timber owners, o. enough to make our present Improve ment forty times over. The man who has a flve million claim would be $6,000. better off with the Improve ment This I. why atumpage on the Columbia River I. bringing $3. to $4. per thousand feet while it I. bogging here at 60c. to $1. per thousand. Thl. will .how any person why the timber Interests must have water suf ficient to pas. the large lumber car riers who sail direct to the Port, of the world, and thus save to Lincoln County this Immense profit: to Lin coln County laborer, the million, for the manufacturing: and to Lincoln County Farmer, the market, for their produce that this great lumber devel opment will surely bring.
