TimiF.K PROBLEMS. Jlrlatlon of Iteaervea to I'lrci mid Vnlnes. Tnorpapinu the acreage of the Jnational forests, more familiarly known as the forpet reserve, as well aa adding to the timber of forest rangers, is claimed bv the friends of the Roosevelt administra tion to be responsible to a large extent for the absence of forest fires in this etate, says a Portland correspondent. Others contend that we have had more rain than U6ual, and still some of the old-timers say that there have been eummera in the past when the forest fire was unknown. Be that aa it may, citizens of Tortlan d have not forgotten the remark of Henry "Ward Beecher, when interviewed by a reporter as to the ' northwest and its ecenery, said: "I might as well have been in a mail sack for all I saw." And there have been many occasions daring August when the smoke from the in numerable forest fires hid the scenery and almost obscured the sky. The increased value of timber is having much to do with the care the forests are receiving, and the private owners are guarding their great store of wealth even more zealously than the government. The advance in the value ot timber during the past three years is so enormous as to be almost unbelievable- There are three hundred billions of feet p! standing timber in Oregon alone, and c -Hinting the advance at only $5 per thousand feet, and in many kinds of lumber it has been five times that, the increased value would be a billion and a half dollars, or a hundred million more than the capitalization of the United States Steel and Standard Oil companies combined. James J. Hill recently made the statement that one acre of Oregon timber was worth as much to a railroad from a transportation standpoint as 160 acres of wheat or as he graphically put it, "One harvest from your well timber ed acres gives the trrnspertation com pany as much freight as the same area in wheat would supply in a hundred and sixty years." The scarcity of timber throughout the United States and Europe is probably the chiet reason why skilled timbermen from all parts of the world are gathering in the Pacific northwest. It is not unusual to meet men who have made their millions out of the develop ment of the timber resources of Texas, Louieana and the Mississippi, joining with these from Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin in acquiring timber holdings here and the millions that have been transferred from the older Btates to the northwest in such purchases have had much to do with making Oregon and Washington independent in their development , JSiabwood, the outside or trimming from the log, including the bark, has become a luxury instead of a drug on the market, as formerlv, for years "slab" has been the staple fnel for the home A few yeara ago it was delivered to any part of the city for $1 a cord, then it rose in price, np to two years ago to 91-75 per cord, and the housekeepers groaned at the advance and figured over the increased cost of running their furnaces and their stoves, and many pat in coal Now this slabwood brings J$4 per crod, where 'formerly the mills were so anxious to get rid of it that they used it as a filling for the low landa around their grounds. Ordinary fir wood in four foot lengths was iorcerly 83 per cord ; then it rose t) M and 4.50. Now it is $ 6 per cord and the buyer is the one who is favored The waste resulting from the erection of new buildings was until last year ft eked ud in the street and burned. It Bsemed a wasteful thing to those from the eastern states, where kindling is carefu'ly put away, but the people out here have the habit now of saving this waste, and it is carefully stacked away in the basement for the coming winter with the same care as it would be in Ohio or Illinois. Then in the yards of the larger mills cars can be eeen loading lumber for Cleveland, New York and even points in Kansas and Oklahoma, just north of the timber belt in Toxas, Louisiana and Arkansas. There seems to be an especially vigorous demand for large timbers which require two or three cars to transport them, and these go to every point of the compass and are today Valuable only in the northwest. When the forest lands are cleared they take the name of "logged off lands" or "cut then over timber lands" valuable for farms and are fruit and dairying, and these land are particulaoly sought by the new comer. The increased cost of timber for fuel and power has caused the people of the northwest to realize the worth of their water powers, for while there is an extremely progressive population in tliis section of the country, tney are like those everywhere, in not caring to make a change until necessity compels it. The increased value of fuel has brought into service yariona coal fields, and there will not be many years before Notice.
