JVEYERHAEl'SER PURCHASES
- WORLD'S LARGEST SAWS
' , The .Weyerhaeuser Timber com
pany recently purchased from Henry
Dlsston Sons, Inc, the two larg
est circular saws ever manufactured
. "They are in use in the new mill
the - company has " constructed - at
Everett. It Is the first saw mill in
the 1 history of fbe lumbering in
dustry - o -be operated without
power plant of any kind in connec
tion with it.
c.Tbe new mill will be driven en
tirely by electricity, electric power
being - conducted over a high-voltage
transmission line from another
milt..
'" These giant saws are 110 inches
In diameter 9 feet 2 inches from
rim to rim. Each saw contains 190
teeth and weighs 675 'pounds. They
are exclusively Dlsston., Even the
steel was fabricated in the Dlsston
factory. . ., : "
The saws - will be used by the
Weyerhaeuser Timber, company to
cross-cut Pacific Coast hemlock into
regular log lengths. They are cap
able of cutting 48-lncb logs at the
rate of 112 cuts per hour. The
rims of the saws in operation will
travel at a speed of almost two
miles per minute.
When Henry Dlsston & Sons, Inc.,
recently completed two saws meas
uring 108 ' inches in diameter a
world's record was established in
saw making. Newspapers the coun
try over acclaimed it as a remark
able manufacturing accomplishment.
But these pioneer saw makers
have eclipsed their own record In
this new (eat. They do not believe
thy, have reached the ultimate in
saw making. Their attitude' Is,
"show us the need and we'll make
the saw.',' .

MARKET FOR HEMLOCK
AND OAK BARK IS GOOD
Thomas Michelson of ' Coqullle
who Is developing a new outlet for
Coos county products, was a Coot
Bay visitor yesterday. Mr, Mi
cheUon is buying and shipping oak
and hemlock bark for use In Pa
cific coast tanneries. Last year he
purchased and shipped about SO
carloads o! bark from this sec
tion. This year he expects to ex
ceed last year's output. Moit of the
oak bark comes front the vicinity
of Mrtle Point and Powers.
The rapidly diminishing supply
of oak bark and hemlock has crem
ated a demand for alder bark, and
Mr. Michelson Is now perfecting
arrangements to. add this to his
shipments. -
Mr. Michelson says there are a
number of small tracks of hemlock
on farms and reaches that might
be converted 4nto cash and by dis
posal of the logs to the sawmills
and selling the bark add consider
able to the owners' Income. He is
paying $10.75 per cord tor hemlock
bark - delivered at any shipping
point on the Southern Pacific.

WHO LIED?
We have received two accounts
of Bob KesBler's befravlor during
the recent coyote hunt on Buch Is
land. Kessler struck for the high
rocks on top of the island as goon
as the hunt started. On that much
the narrators agree. But Kessler
claims be climbed to that vantage
point and dropped cyanide In the
coyote's eyes whereas others equally
reliable clal mtftat be found a cave
and crawled Into it, dragging . a
heavy rock up to -the mouth of it
for protection. ., ; ::;. '
RECHRISTEN YACHT -Pete
Nollson and Harry Monroe
have rechrlstened the yacht Rio de
Janeiro, although, the rechristening

son's consuming the champagne for

finally used at the ceremony.
Tho new name of the vessel Is ti'oe
Majrflowor. Nellson declares that
although no Puritans have come
across In the boast so far, that
oue can never toll what may happen.
TO THE LIONS WITH ALBURTUH
II, LInivllIo, extra setter for
Wheeler-Olmstead, declares that It
Is pretty tough to spend six or eight
months building up something, and
then to have Alburcus wreck It In
a fw seconds,
KOONKVK1.T ON FOHKMTH
"And now, first and foremost,
you can newer afford to forget for
ono moment what Is the object of
our forest policy. That object Is
not to preserve the forests because
they are refuges tor the wild crea
tures of the wilderness, though that,
too, Is noo.l In Itself, but the pri
mary object of our forest policy, as
of the land policy of the United
States,-Is the making of prosperous
homes. It Is part of the traditional
policy of home making of our coun
try. Every other consideration
comes as secondary. Tbo whole
effort of tho government In dealing
with forests must be directed to this
end, keeping in view the fact that
It Is not only necessary to start tho
h?uies as proiperous, but to keep
them so. . That Is why the forests
hivo got to be kept. You can start
a prosperous home by destroying the
forests, but you cannot keep It pros
perous that way Forestry Is tho
preservation of forests by wtso use."

PERCENTAGE OF PUBLICITY
- .OWNED FORESTS
There has been some recent dis
cussion regarding the taking over
by states of all cut-over land. Cer
tain lumbermen have advocated this.
Such a policy would In Oregon and
Washington eventually make - the
states owners of -tremendous acre
ages. '
In this connection the following
data are of Interest. In Canada 90
per cent of the forest lands are
publicly owned; in Germany 63 por
cent; France 35 per cent; Sweden
24 per cent; United States 20 per
cent. By publicly owned is meant
Federal, state, community or muni
cipal ownership.
