, The fir or Douglas spruce Is tbs most
widely distributed ' tree In the Rogue
river forest. : Firs from seven to nln
feet trunk ; in diameter and S0O feet
high are common. The wood of the fir
is noted for its qualities of strength,
lesticity and toughness. It is especially
. useful and Is employed where structures
of great strength are- desired. Of tho
two kinds, the red and yellow fir, the
flatter is the most abundant. In out
ward appearance tt ts much like, the
eastern hemlock, but It is higher giade.
The yellow pine is also a valuable
tree. In outward appearanoe tt is much
like the Norway pine, but Its wood la
llghter-and stronger.
' The . cedar and oak timber of the
Rogue river forest Is of fine quality.
The loral of Madrona Is much like the
Iron wood of the eastern states in out
ward appearance, but the lumber la
more like the Myrtle. When green thl
wood Is nearly as soft as pine, but
when seasoned It is as hard as maple,
taking a polish equal to rosewood,
