Judges for the contest were Fred
Peterson, county school superin
tendent, W. E. Lamm and Lynn P.
Snbtn, secretary of the chamber of
commerce. Awards were made by
the Stop Forest Fires association of
Klamath county. ,
Glenn Ferguin 'used as his sub
ject, "Why Is Klnmnth County In
terested In Forest Protection?"
Miss Beunett stressed the subject
of "Forest Fire Prevention. The
third price winner, "Miss Cummings
carried' out tho thought of "Why
Klamath County Should be Inter
ested in Forest Fire Prevention."
The winning essay follows:
"Lodgepolo; pino, yellow pine,
sugar pine, white pine, douglas fir.
white fir. incense cedar, huckle
berry bush, grease wood, and west
ern chinquapin. When the above
names are mentioned what does one
think of? It is only natural that
the person' should ' think of the
"great outdoors." With Its beau
tiful mountains, divided by beauti
ful valleys, which are carpeted with
lush, green, grass. , Its clear pool
streams winding, in and out as they,
make their way down the ravines
to water the - grass . below. Its
"lusty trout" darting here and
there with their backs sparkling In
the sunlight. Its deer, elk, bear,
and grouse, browsing on the green
vegetation that covers the hillsides.'
This Is Klamath county as it Is to
day. "Almost all of tlio vegetation
grown on our mountain slopes Is of
some economic value. The lodge
pole pine is used for fuel, telephone
and telegraph poles; the yellow pine
for lumber and shade; sugar pine
for fuel; white pine when planed
makes white, soft, lumber: douglas
fir makes two grades of lumber,
"red fir" and "white fir"; white fir
is also used for lumber; incense
cedar is iiBed for cedar chests, fence
posts, and shingles; the huckleberry
bushes furnish food for wild life,
especially 7 bear and birds; sheep
browse on grease wood ; and western
chinquapin furnishes food for elk
and deer. ' "
"It there were no rorests In
Klamath county; there would be no
Irrigation In Klamath county; there
would be no electric power plant
located at the lower end of Klam
ath Lake; there would be no fish
ing or hunting, because there would
be no hiding places; there would be
no lush, green grass for, the cattle
to, graze upon; .there would be no
Crater Lake National Park; people
would not come to see vast areas
of blackened,' charred, ruins.
"The, mountains rn northern
Klamath county form a horse-shoe
around Wood river valley, below this
valley, . Klamath Lake extends Its
blue waters thirty-six miles -southward
where it is used for Irrigation.
This lake is filled by rivers which
coma ' from the mountain slopes.
These mountain slopes are covered
with . a heavy growth of timber.
which acts as a natural reservoir.
holding the water back and letting
it seep out gradually. Without this
natural reservoir the rivers would
overflow in the spring, and almost
dry up in the summer, but with this
natural reservoir the rivers flow
even all the time.
Mr. F. A. Elliot, state forester.
states, - "that sixty-five per cent of
the entire industrial payroll in Ore
gon comes from the forests; and
that forest products are necessary
in maintaining our present plane of
civilization." Thero are ' twenty-
nine sawmills, planing mills, and
rcmanufacturing : plants depending
on Klnmtith county's, forests for raw
material. It the forests were to dis
appear, thousands of laborers would
lose their Jobs. . ' ,
- "The farmers and ranchers de
pond upon the lumbering camps and
mills for a market for their, hay,
grain, cattle, sheep, hogs, and milk.
The lumber . industry caused rail
roads to be built, and the railroads
are still, dependent upon the lum
ber industry. Sportsmen depend on
the forests for a game refuge. If
thero were no forests there would
be nothing for the wild to feod upon
or to go to for protection. There
would be nothing for tourists to see
If thoy wore not here.
"Most of the forest land In Klam
ath county Is In the mountainous
regions, where the land would be
.worthless If there were no timber.
Mri C. II. MacDanlals, forest super
visor, states, "Average fir land will
raise five hundred feet to the acre
( In o year. Douglas fir Is very plontl-

ful right now; it can be bought for
one dollar a thousand feet up to
four or five dollars according to Its
location and quality." .Also "if fire
kills the brush and delays the crop
ten years, It damages tho ownor of
the land to the extent of five dol
lars an acre at least." , At the above
figures, the national 'forest reserve
on the Cascade ran go, from tho
southern boundary of Crater Lake
National Park, to the California line.
In Klamath county only, produces
about one hundred nlnoty-two thous
and dollars worth of timber each
year. It takcB eighty to one hund
red and sixty years for pine trees to
grow ' to a merchantable size. In
some places a forest fire kills the
seeds with tho . trees and there Is
nothing left to start another growth.
In other places whore tho seeds
have not been burned they cannot
grow because they depend on the
larger trees for shade and moisture.
But, If the small tree are kept
growing the forest will have mer
chantable trees every few years, as
the smaller ones grow.
'If the forests do not amount to
anything, why should - President
Coolidge proclaim the weak of April
27 to May 3 as American Forest
Week? Klamath county has one of
tho best and most accessible for
ests In tho United States. Klamath
county's forests are great'assots for
game refuges, natural rcsorvolrs,
people who depend upon them, lum
ber Industry, and economical value.
Klamath county as a whole Is Inter
ested in forest protection. It should
bo. Every person living in Klamath
county should be. And thoro are
vory fow people that do not apprec
iate the great assets invested In the
National Forests In Klamath county.'"
