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
