Orsgon'a -timber resources, which' haw been shown by government survey to exceed thoee of sny other stste In the Union 11 8.000,-' 000,000 feet of timber, of which so little has been cut that the original quantity ha not. been ' materially reduced. In erecting th Forestry building 10,000,000 feet of log. timber was used, and the ef fort was to select trees thst fairly rep resent ths forests In which Oregon lum bermen are constantly working.

In building the Forestry structure there was no carpenter work; the logs were framed with treenails and big. Old fashioned wooden pins.
