MARSHFIEL.D, Ore, May 20.
Coos county forests will Buffer mil
lions of dollars in damages from
moonshiners alone, if statements of
a number of south slough residents
aro accurate.
Something over 31100 ceres of
land Sunday and Monday revealed
not ono chipmunk, blue Jay, "lum
berjack," a big gray bird, or pine
squirrel. Residents of the south
slough claim the same condition
prevails throughout the district
both birds and squirrels have died
during the winter.,' -
Moonshiners who throw out their
corn mash after boiling it in cop
per tanks aro rseponsible, they
claim. Sulphate of copper, common
ly known as blue vitriol, develops
In the mash after boiling.
Squirrels store the mash away
and then die from the effects of
their winter meal.
Doth squirrels and birds are
highly valuable in. replanting cut
over lands of the timber belt. Cas
cara, one of the valuable medicinal
products of this section," is planted
by chipmunks alone.
LUMBER INDUSTRY
OF AUSTRALIA IS
SUFFERING SLUMP
Melbourne- Operator Lays Adverse
' Condition to V. S. . Competition '
PORTLAND, May 20. That the
lumber industry of Australia is in
a serious condition, with thousands
of lumber workers unemployed and
less than, half yie sawmills operat
ing. Is the unusual information're
cejved at 4L headquarters here from
a prominent lumberman of Mel
bourne .who gives the low prices of
competitive west coast lumber as
the chief reason for the inactivity
of Australian lumber manufactur
ing plants.
"At the present moment the Aus
tralian timber industry is in a most
serious position", says the letter to
the 4L office. "This is due to the
fact - that your (west coast) tim
bers and Baltic timbers are being
sold here at prices that result In
them being used for purposes which
hitherto our native timbers were
put to. Our native timbers in many
cases are acknowledged to be super
ior to your timbers for various
classes of work, but price has prov
ed the deciding factor in allowing
imported woods to oust us in our
own markets. . 1
"Today thousands of Australian
timber employes are out of work,
and the only possible chance the in
dustry has of meeting the fierce
lorelgn competition, is to secure a
fair measure of protection. In Tas
mania, one of our largest timber pro
ducing states, no less than 100 out j
oi mills are now ciosea aown
and many of those now running are
working only part time."
' The letter Indicates that action
for a strong protective tariff will be
taken by Australian saw milling
associations..- . :

-TO EFFECT SAVING
Decay, loss in logging operations,
losses through mill waste, season
ing losses, an .unnecessary multi
plicity of sizes and grades of lum
ber and the failure or the public
efficiently to use short and odd
lengths are the principal ways .in
which lumber material is wasted.
The general' adoption of American
lumber standards will result In 10
per cent more lumber from a
given amount of timber. Tho Na
tional .Lumber Manufacturers asso
ciation, other interested associa
tions and the forest service and.
the department of commerce have
been working on these standards
for three years. They soon will be
In general use.

I was very deeply Interested In
my visit to Mendocino county re
cently with my friend, C. R. John
son, of Union Lumber Co., operating
at Fort Bragg, Cal.. In his refores
tation campaign. It is really re
markable the very rapid growth
which redwood attains, and more
especially the root growth.
I saw some redwood one-year
seedlings with roots more than IS
inches in length. It seems lo me'
that the state ami government
should carry forward the refores
tation, as I am afraid the annual
tax during the period of growth may
wipe out all tho anticipated profit.
Nevertheless, the country must
be alive to the vital necessity of per
petuating the timber supply or she
will surely suffer. Am not overly
impressed with the statements re
garding the anticipated- competlon
of Siberian timber and its displace
ment of Pacific Coast lumber.
The timber differs from Douglas
fir in size and strength. It is a
smaller growth. We import Siber
ian timber from Valdlvostok . to
Shanghai. With the present low
price of lumber we are not finding
it profitable to operate the Dollar-
Portland Lumber Co.'s mill and It
will remain closed until the price
justifies operation."

TIMBER SALES
Sales of government timber ou
the National Forests of OrogSn and
Washington amounted to 704. 38(1.
000 board feet during 1924. accord
ing to figures just given out by C.
M., Granger. District Forester. Port
land. Oregon.
Thoro were 1692 sales of govern
ment timber, valued at M.449.89S.
48! Of these, 799 were commercial
sales, amounting to $1,446,992.92;
and 839 wero sales at cost, mndo to
local settlers and ranchers for their
own use.
National Jorcst timber is treated
as a crop, according to Mr. Granger.
Ho explained . that sate of govern
ment timber is governed by such
conditions as maturity of the crop.
market demand, and the totul available-
supply a. given locality.
Since? continuous production on tho
larger watersheds within the Nation
al Forests is on of the chief ob
jectives of the Forest Service, tho
total supply governs tho amount
sold and rale of cutting. Appraisal
is made by qualified forest officers.
and a minimum smmpage price es
tablished based on local coudltions.
The timber is then advertised and
sold under contract to tho highest
bidder, and at not less than tho
minimum stumpnge price. Timber
only is sold, land titlb remaining In
the .government. Important con
tract provisions are for fire precau
tions, close utilization, nnd proper
forestry methods of cutting, looking
to a new crop of trees on the cut
over area.
Mr. Granger pointed out that each
sale Is given close supervision by the
Forest Service, being In churgn .of
a competent government scaler -at
ranger. Timber is paid for as cut
and scaled. .
Net timber salo receipts for 1921
in the two states, according to the
report, amount to $674,372.76. The
sales cover a wldo range of pro
ducts, ' from Cascara bark and
Christmas trees, to the largo com
mercial sales of Douglas, fir and
Wcsturn yellow plno.
"Conservation has been defined
as wise use," said Mr. Granger. "It
Is neither hoardlng nor exploitation.
The prime function of tho forests
Is to produce timber crops. We at
tempt to make them yield the great
est good to . the greatest number,
and at the same.time provide con
tinuous production for the future."
An important fact in connection
with tho receipts from National For
est sules, as pointed, out by Mr.
Granger, Is that 25 of such re
ceipts come back to the states and
counties for roads and schools. An
additional 10 is applied by tho
Forest Service . to local road nnd
trail development.
