JUNE 17, "itefi PAGE TEN '..I i jj'J !r ir ti::. 1 Ml) r I Mi THE KLAMATH LUMBERLOGUE Established March 9,' 1926 A weekly paper for the men and women employed In the lumber In dustry of Klamath County. Issued every Monday HOWARD WINNAItD Editor l-bllKST HKSK.AUCH XKKDF.I) In-jho coming struggle for timber, economic survival among tha forest Industries will depend on economic fitness. Economic fitness will be measured by good management and good technical processes. Those qualities come from research and from training; and the forest in dustries, to reach a high level of skill, must make a full use of both these tools of modern industrial progress. Hitherto, the diversity, the geographical isolation, and the small average size of our wood-using industries, coupled with abundance of raw material, have kept them from advancing as rapidly In im proved methods as some of our more highly concentrated industries. But timber shortage will force competi tion in better methods. Much is al ready known of better methods and the time is already here when this knowledge can be profitably employ ed. Many companies have in fact made notable progress in waste re duction and are furnishing examples of what can be done by . careful management atid expert planning. It seems possible that the individual Industries, by banding together, can overcome their handicaps of isola tion and collectively employ more experts to work out better processes. . CALVIN COOLIDGE. Prevent Forest Fires Wise forest protection does not mean the withdrawal of forest re aourcs, whether of wood, water, or grass, from contributing their full share to the welfare of the people, but, on the contrary, gives the as- surance of larger and more certain supplies. The fundamental idea of forestry is the perpetuation by use. Forest protection is not an end of itself; It is a means to increase and sustain the resources of. our coun try and the industries which depend upon them. THEODORE ROOSEVELT. , . Prevent Forest Fires . "". THE LUMBER IN DUSTRY Although ' the lumber Industry consumes only about a third of the wood content annually removed from the forest by industrial or na tural processes, It is the foremost .forest industry. The bulk of the best virgin forests are owned by men and corporations identified with the lumber Industry. It direcU ly employs most of the persons classified as engaged In the forest based industries about 800,000 out of 1,100,000. The annual output of the lumber group of industries now about 85.000,000,000. board feet, or enough for 3,000,000 all lumber cottages is valued at about $1,600,000,000 and the reman u facturing group adds about as much more. The total investment In tim ber and in lumber manufacturing plants is probably about $8,000, 000,000, which is not very far from 40 percent of the valuation of the entire American railway systems Crude forests products alone pay more than $400,000,000 in annual freight revenue to the railways. It has been calculated that the wealth they leld supports about ono tenth of the American people. If this be true they are the funda mental industry next to agriculture. From the standpoint of housing the lumber industry is supreme. Proba bly 80 percent of the American peo ple live in lumber houses or houses of which lumber is an essential structural - part. Practically every dwelling house and most business edifices contain some lumber. Rail ways require large quantities for cars, railway bridges and other ' structures, docks, wharves, trestles, Beware of Fakirs ' ''We 'lire" ' the '' Only authorized Singer ' Sewing Machine representatives In Klamath County.

Hound 1 limbers are indls pensible to mining operations. Wood was about the only fuel known to men until 200 years ago. and about a third of nil the wood removed from American forests makes fuel. It is an important part of the domes tic fuel of a large part of our popu lation, i "Ti Piovenl Forest Fires CONSERVATION- .AND WASTE UTILIZATION' Not only must trees bo grown but they must be carefully con served and their products used with the, greatest economy. In view of our increasing population and the gradual extension of plow and pas ture land at the cost of the forests, there is no possibility of the future forests meeting the present per capita consumption of wood. Every saw-tree must bo made to yield a larger proportion of usable material, the young growth must be reason ably protected in logging operations, and the utmost economy must be exercised to prevent waste of good material in building and remanufac ture of crude forest products. There are great opportunities for progress In these directions, as the increas ing value of forest products makes it possible to utilize what has hither to been wasted physically though rarely economical-. A recent notable advance in this direction is the adoption of Ameri can Lumber Standards by the or ganized lumber Industry. When fully applied these standards will represent an increased lumber use equivalent to about 10 percent of the log.

The ball game Sunday between Algoma and Tennant resulted in the score of 11 to 5 in favor of Ten nant. Miss Juliette Clinton, sister of Mrs. F. B. Willbanks and W. M. Clinton, arrived in Tennant Wednes day from Baton Rouge, La., to spend a few weeks here visiting with her brother and sister. The Misses Clarice and Lila Mc Donald, who have been attending high school at Weed, returned home Sunday for the summer vacation. They were accompanied by their aunt, Miss Fanny Smith, who kept house for them the past year. Floyd McDonald, who has been at camp one all winter and spring, has been quite ill, but is showing improvement at present. Mr. and Mrs. O. O. Wingtield will leave tomorrow morning for a few weeks visit In southern Oregon with Mrs. Wingfield's mother In Ashland, Oregon, and sister in Grants Pass. Mrs. A. Oppcrud and daughter, Clarissa returned from Medford, Oregon, Saturday, where they had been called by the illness of Mrs. Opperud's father. Pine Cabins of the Niners The "days of M9" tiold! But the hardy fortune hunters of '49 found another resource mora valuable thau the precious yellow metal that came from the Califor nia Sierras. With the discovery- of gold came tho need for shelter, whllo men wrestled the gJlden ore from the mountain sides. They found mas sive fallen logs In those mountain forests that had been on the ground for many years. The wood was still sound. This evidence, of dur ability led th.'se shrewd tuiaera to use the wo.)d for their roush cabins. Many of these miners' cabins (with the typical California sugar pine shake roofs) still stand un painted and unattended. Noth withstanding three-qunarters of a century of exposure to storms, deep snows, bleow sero winter tem peratures and the blazing hot sun and desert-dry winds of summer, these cabins remain a wood dura bility test almost beyond eoneeptlan. Miners used these California Pines for shelter alone; gold, not beauty, was their quest. But today these woods are favored not alone for their durability, but for their beauty as well. There are good reasons why California White I'ine and Callfornli Sugar Pino are fav ored wooJs for the exterior finish of the finest homes. These soft textured, close, evongralne.d woods cut easily without splitting, assur ing saarp lines and clean-cut edges that fit snugly an exacting re quirement in doors, porch wjrk, cornices and siding. California Plaes, when properly seasoned, are unusually free from twisting and warping they "stay put." Being especially free from end shrinkage, siding seams do not open up. The ability of these woods to hold nails tight eliminates un sightly drippings from rusty nails. The light-colored, smooth, satiny surfaces of California Pines are ec onomical to paint. They require fewer coats a saving of time -anil material. Being unusually free from resinous substances, which have a tendency to '"cook out" in the hot sun, these woods retain beautiful finishes without discolorntians. California Pines meet service-demands for shelter, economy and beauty. Prevent Forest Fires BACK IX KLAMATH Oscar Duncan, who ran locomo tive for the Pelican Bay Lumber company.
