known as Port Orford cedar. This
wood was very highly esteemed
for all sorts of inside work, and
appeared to possess to a high de
gree many valuable qualities. Al
though distinct in color, perfume,
and especially in its greater rapidi- j
ty of growth, it closely resembled
the wood of the Sitka cedar, and
unless produced by Lawson's cy

Iu 1SG7 a terrible forest fire
raged during threo months m the -vicinity
of Coos Bay. Volumes
of smoke obscured the sky; it be- j
came so dark that all work had to
be abandoned, and navigation was
imneded for miles out to sea. Ir
has been estimated that from "200,
000,000 to 300,000,000 feet ot Port
Orford cedar was destroyed at this
time.- It reproduces itself, how-j
ever, very rapidly, and after the
foresf is burned over it is the first
tree to reappear, springing up'
generally in tho third year. '
As early as 1854 the first cargo
of Port Orford cedar was sent to
San Fraucisco, where ever since
it has been largely used. It
