Attention on Timber
National attention is focused on
the west coast wartime forest fire
menace by Jim Marshall» article
“War in tne Woods” in the June 13
issue of Collier's now on the news
stands. It is the feature article of
tiie issue, with a two-page spread
of striking photographs, one a re-
pioduction of the poster picture of
the Keep Oregon Green campaign.
Marshall, who forecast the Jap
attack in the Pacific .now torsees
a national danger m the immediate
fire season. because* of the depen
dence of tiie war effort on north
west forest industry. Mai shall
states that the luinoer require
ments of the army alone for one
month of this year amounted to
SOU train loads each a mile long
Citing other dramatic examples
of lumber as essential war indus
try, he points out how forest pro
duction may be stalled in the sum
mer months by fires in the woods
The Tillamook fire of 1933, he
says, destroy«?d three times the
amount of timber cut by west
coast loggers in that year.
Story of the cooperative organ
ization of defense against the fire
menace that has been built up for
1942 by private timberland owners,
industry operators, the state for
estry departments and federal
agencies, is told by the Collier's
writer as an inspiring example of
uniting against a common enemy.
While th«, .orest service does not
normally fight fires in forest
lands outside national forests.
Marshall points out the splendid
manner in which the private, state
and federal forest fire fighting
agencies have pooled all of their
men and equipment, placing all
under one unified commander,
State Forester Nels S. Rogers,
with the state forest office acting
as a central dispatching office for
all forest fire fighting crews and
equipment. Private operators have
listed equipment, and loggers and
lumber jacks have all signed up
ready to hit hard and fast when
a forest fire breaks out. Marshall
points out.

LEGAL NOTICES
S. P. Load Now
85 Percent More
Than 1929 Record
Already handling the greatest
amount of tiuffic in its history,
Southern Pacific has an even
greater wartime load in prospect,
but with the effective working re
lationship with the military and
the cooperation of shippers, it will
carry the extraordinary load with
only such delay as war conditions
may make inevitable.
President A. T. Mercier back in
San Francisco from an extensive
trip over Southern Pacific's lines
and across the country, makes this
encouraging comment in a mes
sage to the railroad's employes in
the June issue of the company
magazine, just oft the press.
The load Southern Pacific car
ried in 1941, measured by tons
hauled one mile, was more than
56 per cent greater than the boom
time record load of 1929. and so
far this year is more than 85 per
cent greater than in the same per
iod of 1929. Mercier said.
"But while our volume has
greatly increased.” he continues,
"it should not be assumed that
either revenue or net income has
increased proportionately. The av
erage revenue received in 1941 was
26 per cent less per ton mile and
40 per cent less per passenger mile
than in 1929. Expenses, on the
other hand, including wages and
costs of many kinds, have increas
ed substantially.
“The revenues the railroad has
received have been used to in
crease our ability to do the war-
time job through expansion of fa
cilities and additions to equipment
and also have been used to pay
back some of the vast sum the
company had to borrow during the
depression years.”
Commenting on the public ac
claim for the railroads from many
sources, notably from Joseph B
Eastman, director of the office of
defense transportation. President
Mercier says: "Our aim for the fu
ture is that we of the railroad in
dustry may continue with good
service to merit such commends-
tions."
