They were the roaring twenties from coast to coast, in the U.S.A They were booming times in the forests of the northwest corner state, green Washington, as in others. Here man brought prodi gious power to bear on the for est resource. And the forest, in turn, demonstrated amazing characteristics of reproductive and staying power on millions of acres of cutovers and burns. Even amid areas of ghostly snags, standing still 20 years aft er the fires of 1902, the seedling trees grew green and bold. The power that resided in the pulping fibers of the West Coast hemlock for production of trade papers and fabrics was tremen dously developed in the decade. Thereby wages, dividends, taxes, home markets for farm products, local retail trade and service businesses were all greatly in creased, and there was generat ed' more revenue to pay for firestopping and other forestry practices. Kew Products ... ' It was a decade of money pow er and credit power at work ki the woods, above all else. The older lumber companies that had kept their cutover. lands, in large part, under heavy tax loads, expanded in long-range programs during the 1920s. Large southern lumber com panies moved into the state, aft er Long-Bell. The expansions had to be financed through sell ing shares to investors and by borrowing from the banks. The risks were high. A single forest fire might reduce values on thousands of acres of timber collateral overnight. The build ing boom that was climaxed by the construction of more than a million homes in 1926 was never a sure thing, and it all but vanished after 1929. Yet for years there was usually money available to the right kind of lumbermen for the building of a sawmill or the purchase of a tract of timber and equipment for a logging show. Forest power boiled out of the gluepot, likewise, with a force that attracted investments in mammoth enterprises for the manufacture of Douglas fir ply wood. The peeler log, and the lathe that unrolled sheets of .fine, strong veneer from the Douglas fir bolt, like a drygoods clerk, unwinding a bolt of silk, were mighty new economic forces in the region. The New Golden Hind . . . Great industries flourished up ward from modest machine shops, expanding in the manu facture of power machinery and equipment for sawmills, logging operations, plywood factories and pulp plants. Seattle pro duced motor trucks, Portland brought out boom-arch trailers for logging tractors. The railroads of old prospered anew from forest products pay loads. And then the Liberty ships, built by the hundreds for World War I freight, steamed forth on the trade lanes of peace. Forest products made up three- forths of the tonnage in Wash ington's water - borne trade through the 1920s. In one year a fifth of the lumber production went into foreign trade. Im mense terminals for lumber shipped through the Panama Canal were built at Baltimore, Boston and Brooklyn. All, all, the power of the Pa cific Northwest forests at work in ways and on a scale that was utterly undreamed of by Drake, deFuca, Cook, Meares, Gray, Vancouver, Lewis and Clark, and all the rest of the early discovevers. The Golden Hind sailed again but not with cargos of gold from the Spanish Main. It was green gold, tree treasure, for the cargos of romance in the 1920s.

Jack His bootlegging days are long over. m Celie My husband. Jack, has suddenly taken to palling around with a man who has a reputation for coming from the underworld. He has even asked me to invite him and his wife to our home and to accept their invitation. I have tried to reason with my husband, but he either does not understand or does not want to understand. . My husband refuses to believe that people are beginning to gos sip about us because of his friendship with this man. My husband comes from a good fam ily and assumes that he is above criticism, but I come from the other side of the track and know how people can talk. I am afraid that this will hurt our children, who may have to hear malicious gossip from their friends in school. I simply cannot get it through my head why Jack should re ject the many men who would be happy to associate with him for this strange character, who makes a marked man of him in the eyes of our community. Jack The man my wife re fers to had a reputation for be ing a big operator during the prohibition era. He has changed greatly since then and I find him a far more stimulating companion with deeper and broader interests than most of the fellows I grew up with. I have tried to make my wife see reason, but she can't seem to accept the fact that this man actually leads a cleaner life than some of my more conventional friends, who may make the right noises and gestures in polite so ciety, but have doubtful stan dards of conduct and only the shallowest interests. My friend may have been in the gutter once, but that was long ago. He has invested his mmM in lpEritimate business. has developed his mind and keeps up with what goes on In the world. He is the very oppo site of a "mug." I really don t know .what lie sett out of being. Tilo May Lose American Aid . Washington (U.PJ An amend ment cutting off all U.S. aid to Yugoslavia may be offered in the House as a result of Mar shal Tito's statements in Mos cow. Rep. John M. Vorys (R-Ohio), a senior member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said such an amendment might seek to eliminate military aid or even all funds for Yugoslavia from the $3,800,000,000 aid bill ap proved by the Foreign Affairs Committee. He said Tito's statement that Communist Yugoslavia will never again be split from Russia by "misunderstandings" makes him think "there will be such an amendment, and that it will have strong support." The House is scheduled to take up the aid bill next Wed nesday. Vorys noted the cortimittee al ready has slashed to $15,000,000 the administration's proposed $30,000,000 in economic aid for Yugoslavia. The military aid fig ure intended for Tito's country is secret, and not specified in the bill. Slim Sheath with me and befriending me. unless it is that he is starved for human company on his own in tellectual plane. The Council: Jack paints a plausible picture of his ex-racketeer friend and Celia may have erred in speaking too harshly to Jack about his friend. At the same time, she may have under stated the problem of the children. A man like Jack, feeling se cure because of his good origin, may be able to defy gossip and public reputation, placing sub stance above mere appearance. The children may have a more difficult problem coping with the harsh comment that other children are capable of. Jack's attitude has its com mendable side, but he must face honestly the question: "Is this courageous attitude at the ex pense of the wife and children?" His ex-racketeer friend no doubt has grown intellectually and perhaps spiritually since the old days, but he has to pay a price in reputation for the ad vantages he once seized for him self in an extra-legal way, ad vantages that he still enjoys since he profits from the fruits of that lawless period. The question is whether Jack's wife and children should share in paying the price of this ex racketeer's past. (Copyright 1956, General Features Corp.) Jf. "SLA-9121 was injured. William Edwards, 24, armed with a crescent wrench and a screw driver, seized five hos tages, including guard Frank Bartch and four inmates, in the prison hospital just before mid night and held them until short ly after 1 a.m. Sunday. Forced To Make Call Edwards, a ring leader in last summer's riots, forced Bartch to make a midnight security telephone call to the security booth saying everything was in order. He spent his hour trying to free another inmate, David Hinkle, who had been confined to the hospital. , Edwards attempted to open the lock on Hinkle's room door with the wrench and screw driv er and failing to do so, he ob tained a half gallon of acid and poured it on the lock. This also failed. Edwards then took his hos tages to another telephone to force Bartch to make a la.m. security call. While walking down a hallway, however, one of the inmate hostages dropped a key. When they stopped to pick it up, Bartch ran down the hall and telephoned guards. Five guards apprehended Ed wards shortly afterwards. Jordanian Forces Fire Info Israel Jerusalem (U.PJv Jordan ian forces opened fire across the border into Israeli territory for the second straight day to day, an Israeli military spokes man announced.
