NATIONAL FORESTS
AND LUMBER SUPPLY
A polut ia th industrial progress
of the United Statei ban now been
reached where development of tbe
iountry ia made, not In tbe face or
th forest but with Ita essential aid.
h nld nrncfsi of exhausting tbe
' anpply of timber lu a region and then
seeking new Held a la practically over.
Alrnuiv the lumber industry ia turn
ing back on ita tracka A quality of
timber ia eagerly sought In tbe Lake
states wbinb a few yeara ago wan ig
nored aa utterly worthies, and in tbe
south tbe whole pine region ia being
gone over in a close aearob for the old
' field pine, a tree once despised but
now bought no at prices much blgber
tban ttoae formerly paid for tbe mag
nificent timber of tbe virgia forests.
A publication just Issued by the de
partment of Agriculture, entitled
"National Forests and tbe Lumber
Supply," defines tbe important part
which tbe national toiesta are des
tined to play lu the economic devel-
. opmont of tbe country. Abises bare
- grown ap ander the lawa which pro-
- vide tor the disposition of publio
land, notably tbe aegregation ot large
holdings ot timberland for speculative
purposes. Timber from the national
foresta ia now purchased by tbe tbuiis
and board feet, and payncent ia made
upon the actual -wale of tbe loga when
out. Two dollars and a bait per
thousand feet ia comparatively low aa
present obargea go, but since the cut
ranges from 5000 to 20,(100 loet per
aore, tbe government reaoives from
fire to twenty times as muob for toe
timber aa it did uudr the timber aud
atone act. , f
Puhiin oninlon now demands l ot
that tbe government should dispose of
Ita remaining timberlandi aa lapiuiy
ai possible and leave it to private eu
tamrisa to exoloit tbe forest hastily
but that wbat remains ot tbe natloual
foresta should ba more conservatively
used. The government baa been forced
Into tbe lumber business solely In or
der that a supply of forest products
may be guaranteed to luture genera
tions. Probably 05 per cent of tbe total
stand of merchantable timber within
tbe foresta la located on tbe Pad do
coast, where for a long time tbe euor
mou anpply of privately owned tim
ber will satisfy most of tbe demand.
This more accessible private timber
lurrouuded the forests as tbe meat of
an apple suirounds tbe core. It baa
been entirely eaten away in mauy
placet, while In others it la looked up
by speculators. Tbe thing to remem
ber, tbeu, is that this immense body
of publlo timber la there aa a great
reserve against tbe time when private
timberlanda will be depleted, and tor
use aa a weapon against monopoly.
Tbe first elteot ot national forests
upon prioea, particularly where there
is still a great deal of available tim
ber, la to raise the price of outside
stutnpsge toward Its actual value by
withdrawing the excess supply of low-
rrioed timber from the market, lint
iter, aa the supply of timber dwin
dles and valuos are forced upward by
speculative holdings, tbe elf out of tbe
forests will he to check the advance
cf prioea.
In the virgin forest, growth ia just
about balanced by decay. In the
western forests, however, natural de
terioration is greatly augmented by
forest Hies. The tires usually do meat
harm by damaging merchantable tim
ber, but, great as this Injury ia, vast
ly more actual loss in forest wealth
reaulta from the yearly burning over
ot tbe grass and undergrowth ot the
forest. Uround Or en do not oonsunn
tbe large trees, but tbey destroy seed
lings, outright and injure growing
trees so that they quickly decay. Fin
ally, tbe forest floor, oom posed of a
mold of needlss, twig, aud mosses, is
burned away.
Far beyond tbe present influence ot
the national forests upon tbe lumber
supply will be their importance in the
future. Tbe United States la now
faring a shortage lu tbe stock of avail
able timber. Tho yield from the na
tional foronta will aid greatly to
bridge over thfl'petiod in which ma
ture timber wilt bo lacking, n period
which will last from tbe time the eld
trees are gone nutll tbe young trees
are large enough to take thoir placeH.
Ti e definite result, therefore, ol the
sale of timber from the foresta will be
to sustain the lumber business, to
maintain a steady range of timber
values aud so discourage speculation,
and, far more important still, steadi
ly to further the uninterrupted do
vleopment of the great industries de
pendent upon wood.

While Stevenson U yet in ber infan

town and a bauk is a stepping stone
to progress. Without the patronage
ot the community a bank cannot suj

body In tbe county and some outside,
will lend a helping band and thus in
sure a good sate institution.
Kecently there have been several

a view of putting iu a bauk, but Mr.

landed in Stevenson had bla mind
made up aud made arrangements to
occupy part of the lower flour ot the

This might well be named the
