26 PER CENT OF
U. S. SOFTWOOD IN
Washington Has 19 Per
Cent of Total Supply Says
Forest Service South
Lags in Lumber Yield
PORTLAND, NOV. o (Spl.)
gon contain! 2 per cent of the total
remaining aoftwood timber supply
of the United States and holds first
plae In timber resources, according
to facta developed by tht forest ser
vice in connection with its study of
sustained forest yield possibilities
in the North Pacific region.
Washington has 10 per cent of the
total national supply of aoftwood
timber, and California ranks third
in softwood resources. Since 1904
Washington has held first place, ex
cept In 1014. among the lumber pro
ducing states, and In 1920, Us peak
year, produced 7,646.000,000 ft. or
one-fifth of the entire cut of the
United States. Since 1919, except for
the years 1921 and 1923, OreRon has
ranked second In lumber production,
1U peak year being 1929 with a total
cut Of 4,764,000,000 ft.
Houth Lags.
The south, which held undisputed
supremacy in lumber production for
approximately 30 years, fell behind
the west In 1926 and now Is faced
with greatly depleted resources.
According to the 1920 census, the
lumber and forest product Industry
ranked fourth In the United Statee
both In wages disbursed and In num
ber of person employed. According
to the same census, Washington had
80.807 persons employed In the forest
Industries and Oregon had 62,171.
It la pointed out, however, that this
basic payroll of approximately 140.
000 workers also furnishes the source
of support for dependent industries
and occupations employing approxi
mately an additional 210,000 persons.
The forest service Is assembling
these facta In connection with set
ting up a practicable program ol
sustained timber production for Ore
gon and Washington. It Is pointed
out that the eventual loss of the
lumber Industry which parts ol
Washington already are n?lng, may
be prevented only by prompt public
measures. These measures must pro
vide for adequate fire prevention on
logged -off land as well as timbered
land and for putting back Into tim
ber production approximately 7,000.
000 acres of cutover. burned and
poorly reforested land.
Seed Planned Program.
Such measures also should Include
a planned program of timber man
agement by which all lands properly
classified aa best suited for timber
production would be laid out Into
working circles, according to logical
topographic units and marketing
points. Within these working circles
cutting would be regulated so as to
limit production to the amount
which could be grown on these areas.
It Is pointed out by the forest ser
vice that such a program will In
volve a co-ordination of effort by all
private, federal, and state forest land
owners. Planned timber management
will have a direct effect on the
continuity of county revenues. II
forest land Is kept productive and
cutting la restricted to the amount
that can be produced by growth,
county tax revenue can be maintain
ed Indefinitely Instead of running
the ordinary course of constantly
diminishing returns as the timber
supply becomes exhausted.
Under a sustained yield program
It ia stated by the forest service
that the forests of the Pacific north
west should be capable of producing
good structural timber Indefinitely
on approximately the basis of recent
normal years. Judging by the experi
ence of other lumbering region", say
forest officials, Oregon and Wash
ington may expect a serious break
down of local and county govern
ment upon the exhaustion of the
timber supply unless Immediate steps
are taken to remedy the present
system of exploitation without plan
for the future.

A short time ago we were able to purchase a few of these high
grade Crawford electric ranges at a tremendous saving below
the regular price. This saving we of course passed on to you.
October first they were placed on sale and most of them have
been sold . . . the regular price is MUCH higher. This range
will no longer be available for anything like this low price after
November 15 even if this special lot is not sold hefore then. See
our salesman before it is too late. A better buy in an electric
range will never come your way. You can make a worthwhile
saving on the purchase price and at the same time obtain the
most beautiful range we have ever seen with -best quality con
struction throughout and with every accessory one could use on
an electric range; including electric clock, automatic tempera
