tfa brought out .emphatically by com
parlaon wltlj the forest iieaourccs In th

States; Statistics prove that Oregon has
almost twlc ;aa much timber as Is
found In all New England, Pennsyl
vania, Michigan, Wisconsin and Mlnne
nota. a territory commonly known as
the Great Northern Forest Region.
t "Tha Central Forest Region, ' extend
ing from southern Michigan to southern
Tennessee and from the west slope of
tli e Appalachian mouhtalns westward to
Oia prttirles, has long been famous as
fia source of our hardwood,, yet lt;con
Oilns only half the amount of standing
timber as does Oregon. v ... j
i "In other words, It Snay be stated
that Oregon contains as much timber
A that portion qf tha United States
east of the Mississippi river and north
eff a Una running from that stream due
oast to the southern boundary Hue of
tennessee atid continuing In tha same
course through North Carolina to tha
AtjRla ocean.
Vf" aj ituci as East of Bookies.
Carrying this comparison a Step fur
ther. It Is found that the1 territory, to
tha south of, this line, extending from
the Atlantic ocean to the eaatern base
Of the Rocky mountains, lacks 43,000.
000,000' board feet of having as much
liierchantable timber as Oregon. Or,
oonalderlog as a unit tha three forest
regions mentioned above, the interesting
and significant fact Is disclosed that
Qregon has approximately half as much
Umber as all of the states east of tha
Rocky mountains put together,
Via the light of these comparisons
there can be no question but that Ore
gon's forests constitute, next to land
ljself, her greatest natural resorce. This
Immense wealth still remains to us,
e,Ven though the Oregon forests for cen
turies have been subject to toll levied
by destructive fires and Insect pests.
It is conservatively estimated that near
ly' one-sixth of the present forested
area, or 4,000,000 acres has been denud
ed by fire. Had this wealth been avail
able for taxation the past year It would
have yielded a tax revenue of not less
'than $1,400,000. Due to carelessness
anfl Indifference In the pant, the tax
payers of Oregon are deprived of the
above amount each yean
v; : One-fifth of All XT. 8. Timber.
The total amount of timber in the
United Btates Is estimated by the fed
eral government as 2,800.000,000,000
feet, board mesure. Of this amount
Oregon has about one-fifth, or 645,000,
000,000 fee t The value of this stand
ing Jlmber is not less than 1G80,000,00),
and when manufactured It will bring
Into the state for circulation at least
t6422.600.000. It would seem that with
all this forest wealth Oregon should be
the foremost lumber producing state,
but owing to the present anaccesslblllty
of much of the timber, the development
of the lumber Industry has been greatly
retarded. With the great increase 'In
transportation facilities In Oregon dur
ing; the past five years, and with cer
tain prospects for further development
along this line, It will ,be only, a few
yjears until Oregdn will lead all states
la the quantity of lumber manufactured.
Our mills are now sending large cargoes
of lumber to the orient, to Australia
and to South American ports, and the
demand from these countries is bound
to increase.
' ' Southern Timber Going1 Tast
T'The greatest' demand for Oregon tim
ber products will, however,- come from
our eastern states. The opening of the
Panama canal will unquestionably re
sult In an excellent market for Pacific
coast timber. The present forests -of
New England, the northern pine region
and i- the central hardwood region, are
each year contributing . a smaller per
cent of the total amount of lumber used
In the United States. The growth, of
the lumber Industry In the great yel
low pine region of the south, which
furnishes about S3 per cent of the total
lumber cut, has reached Its maximum
and must necessarily begin to decline
within a very few years because It
lacks the forest resources to sustain
ne present rate oi exploitation, ine
I eastern states, as well as those In the
Mississippi valley, must, therefore, look
to the heavily timbered northwest for
large, share of the lumber they re
quire. Oregon having more than half
again as much timber as Its nearest
competitor, Washington, will, natural
ly,', derive the greatest benefit from
the increasing demand for lumber in
tha United States and foreign countries.

Sydney, N. S. W., Dec. 18. Frightful
massacres Instigated by a notorious
native chief in Papua, the British sec
tion of New Guinea, have been made
public by James Arnold, a prospector,
who has Just returned from that coun
try. At the head ef his murderous gang
the chief recently swept down on sev
eral native villages, butchered the in
habitants, devastated their homes and
dined off the tenderest portions of the
slain. The chief did not confine him
self to the native villages, but attacked
European -sections from R-hlch he was
repulsed. Arnold himself had a thrill
ing experience. . His camp was near
one of the native villages and he was
alone. ' He witnessed the awful butchery
and after the blacks were satiated with
the blood of their brothers they turned
their attention to the lone white man.
Grabbing his rifle Arnold defied the
murderers, who after, he had killed one
and wounded another, turned and fled.
in 1910, only three states surpassed hef
in the quantity of lumber manufactured.
Figures for 1911 are not yet available,
but it is certain that Oregon retained
her rank as the fourth greatest lumber
producing state, and it , is extremely
probable that she will advance to third
place during the present year."
