THE HOME OF THE WHITE CEDAR
T?v the Late A. A. J. Johnson, Gov
ernment Forestry Expert.)
White cedar, known botanleally as
Chamaecyparis . Lawsonlana, be
moat valuable,, ot the cedar speck
found In Oregon. This timber Is found
In Coos. Curry, Douglas and part of
Josephine counties, onthe west side of
the Couat Range mountains. White
Cedar Is an evergreen, with bluish
-green foliage, with rather rough bark
on the older trees, while on the younger
growth the bark is comparatively
smooth. The wood is a creamy white,
with a close grain, is susceptible of
ra high polish, durable and strong.
White cedar possesses the finest
qualities commercially of any timber
known to commerce. The trees attain
a height of 200 feet aad over, and will
run from thrie to 10 feet in diameter
on the stump. The percentage of clear
lumber in the butt logs is ordinarily
' very high. In fact it is not uncom
mon to find trees where the first two
or three logs make nearly clear lumber,
Unlike red cedar the trees are usually
sound and free from hollow butts. The
lumber has a very delightful and high
ly aromatic odor, which makes it very
valuabl9 for shelving, clothes closets
and cheats where valuable furs or
clothing are kept, as 'ts odor is an ab
solute preventative from the attacks of
moths. The wood is seemingly free
from pitch, but contains an oil which
it exudes and forma a wax.
For ship-building purposes this tim
ber is highly prized, as its lasting qual
ities cannot be equalled by any species
of timber in North America. Vessels
that were constructed of white cedar
on Cooa bay over 40 years ago are
still as sound as the day they were
built, the essential oil in the wood
seeming to act as a most potent and
efficacious preventative.
The total area of white cedar in Ore
gon will approximate from i75,wo to
200,000 acres in extent. The largest
body yet untouched lies betweep Coos
bay and he Coqullle river, a distance
ot some 20 mile.
The average stand of white cedar will
run from 15,000 to 20,000 feet to the acre.
In some Isolated cases the timber will
run as high as 100,000 feet to the acre,
but this is exceptional. Botanists are
generally agreed that this Bpeeies of
timber is about 700 years old.
Oregon may well feel proud that she
has among her timber family the state
ly and valuable white cedar, the equal
of which as a lumber tree is not extant
" HAPPY PORTO RICO.
Some interesting information as to
condition of one of our new posses
sions, to-wit, the Island f Porto Rico,
is afforded by James S. Harlan, who
has Just returned to the United States
after serving two years as attorney-
general there. The most Important
thing Is that the Island is not only out

OLD FASHIONED.
An xohanse wants to know what
has become of some of our old fash
ioned friends. For Instance the old
fashioned woman who expected her
children to "mind" her orders; the old
fashioned man who was always willing
to bet a"can of oysters; the old fash
ioned woman who said she "backed" an
envelops when she addressed it; the
old fashioned woman who screamed
at the thought of her husband taking
out life Insurance, saying that It sound
ed as if he did not expect to live long,
and the old fashioned children who
respected and obeyed father and mother
because they were fahter and mother,
More of our sailors have been killed
and wounded on our battleships by ac
cident during the past year than were
killed and wounded by the Spanish
while our fleets destroyed the navy of
Spain. Peaceful gunnery harms more
Americans than doth grim-vlsaged war.
