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

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.

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.

. "". 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,

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.

TENNANT ITEMS
Word was received here Saturday
that Dr. O. A. Dozier, camp doctor
here for the it two years, had
died Saturday morning at his bomc
in Paradise, California. The body
was taken to Stockton, California,
for interment.
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.
