Newspaper Page TextT It K L U M n E n L Q G tt 15 WEDNESDAY, AUGUST Id, W2C Timber Road In Open Large Timber Body To Mills For First Time Extension of Hie Northern Pacific Railroad from its iine at Orofino, Idaho, into the great white pine belt tributary to the Clearwater River, will mark the opening of the last three large tracts of white pine in the United States. This particular section is commonly known as the Pierce City Plateau. It embraces privately owned timber to the "extent of between (.00,000 and' 700.000 acres. In addition to a heavy percentage of Idaho white pine, the stand includes western soft pine of fine quality, red and white fir and western larch and spruce. The iitand of Idaho white pine timber in the Clearwater basin is estimated at eight billion feet. There is also over seven billion feet of balsam fir, spruce and tamarack intermingled with the pine, which will provide a supply of material for several pulp mills over a long period. There are. together .vitn tlic stai of Idaho und Indl'ldunl holders, some 17 different ownerships in tiie Clearwater by limber comflauies and syndicates. Among the,' aro: Clear water Timber Civ. I.ewtston. Idaho; .Milwaukee Laud 60., Spokane, Wash.; Western l.ang Co., Duluiih. Mina.; Holland & Uupp, Saginaw. Mich.; P.'H.Uch Lumber Co., Pot latch, Idaho. Ohio Match Co.. has recently pur chased a valuable tract of timber in the Pierce" country. I.0I0 Lumber Oo., has purchased some timber and installed a band mill Ooeur d'Alene Mill Co., known .is the He: rick in terests, has bought limber and in stalled a baud mill. Diamond Maica Co., aad the Federal Match Co.. are buying match plank from the small mills operating in this territory, Other large interests are Retting ready to enter this field in the near future. Besides transportation facilities available with the extension of Nor thern R&cific railroad into the Clear water timber there is 3.3k practically completed a state highway from Pierce to Greer, on the present line of the Northern Pacific. This will be finished and macadamized in the immediate future. Tributary to this .highway and within easy trucking distance to the railr:Ud is over 300, 000,000 feet of choice wuite pine located in the very best logging chance m the w&ite pine field. Ad joining this on the west is more white nine tributary la the railroad to be truck hauled to Orflno. - In this, locality there are mills install ed that will cut approximately 30 000,000 feet of white pine this year. Another factor very advuutageous to the exploitation of the timber in Pierce country is Uhe extreme low cost Kf logging. This is due to the fact the pine stands very heavy on the ground. The contour of the country 1b most ideal and is entire ly free .from rock. Weyerhaeuser interests, who own about 35 per cent of the timber in the Clearwater country, have just announced they will soon commence constructing a mill at Lewiston to cut 176.000,000 feet annually. Paci fic Power & Light Co., will .onstruct a dam across the Clearwater for power and log pondage; another largo dam will be constructed four miles from Orofino for log storage, and the railroad to be built from Orofino 55 miles into the timber In the Pierce country will furnish the major part of the logs oeces uiry1 for the mills at Lewiston. All of these development! are to be completed by the spring of 1927. To accomplish this within the time stated, work will necessarily start "Vfa July zsm, was found anotner on all these developments slmultane- j shipment of 27 casw of human hair ously.

They will supply boxes principally to the Canadlnn Kraft Cheese Company. Montreal. Much interest has been displayed of late in the manufacture of box hooks In Hrltlsh Columbia. Several plants are projected, Idaho To PORTLAND SHIPS Shipments This Year Found to be in Excess of the 1924 Figures VALUATION MUCH LESS Big Decrease in Foreign Shipments Holds Figures to Lew Level According to figures compiled by the traffic department of the Port of Portland, total lumber shipments from Portland during the first sev en months of 1935 amounted to 353.431.190 feet valued at $8,176. 853, compared with shipments of 347.7S9.327 feet valued at J9.3S8. 9S0 for the first seven months of 1924. This is the first time this year that total shipments from Portland have shown an increase over last year's figures which fact has been due to the large decrease in foreign shipments during the present year, which has amounted to G7. 903. 000 feet. This decrease, however, is. be coming less each month as since April foreign shipments have been greater each month than for the corresponding month in 1924. Domestic shipments however, have been much larger each month this year than for the corresponding month of 19 24 and the Increase, so far this year has amounted vto 62. 548. U00 feet. This has been suffi cient to overcome the decrease in foreign shipments and to thus make a larger total over all lumber ship ments from Portland. Values, how ever, have been less this year than for the year 1924. Included in cargo from Europe during the month of July was 80 cases of flax machinery to be used in the new flax plants which are be ing built near Portland. The raising of flax has been carried "on In Ore gon for many years but it is only of recent years thai it has developed to any great extent. Now several plants are being built which will manufacture the flax grown in this district. In the cargo of the S.S.

In addition there were the usual consignments of bristles, wool, strawbraid, skins of various kinds, rugs, feathers and horse hair from China and soya bean cake and meal from Manchuria. The steamer Oakrldge of the same service entered July 31st from the Philippine Islands. China and Japan included in the cargo was 3741 bale; of hemp from Davao and about 1200 tons of copra. At Cebu there was tak en aboard hardwood lumber and co pra and from Manila was received 17S0 sacks of sugar. At Hongkong. which is the tranB-shippfng port for the Orient, consignments of kapok. I gunnies, mattress fiber, seagrass furniture from Java and the Straits. Settlements were placed aboard this vessel for delivery at Portland. From Japan came large shipments of por celain and 1974 packages of tea for delivery fn Portland and cities In the middle west. This will go forward from Portland by rail to the des tinations. Besides this there was the usual shipments of provisions, earth enware, cotton goods, etc., from Japan.

IS, With the forests of Central Oregon mantled by a pall of smoke, forest service pu 1 trots today are xroplng blindly tii voir.: 11 the woods of the DeschUtM country in search or tires. Clouds of smoke which have drift ed into this part of the state from burning forests in Washington and Northwestern Oregon have reduced the vision of lookouts to a distance of about three miles. Contrary to a general impression, probably caused by the drifting mass of smoke, there are no tin's in the Deschutes national forest, so far as known. With the lookouts rendered useless, it is tmnnasthta it, riatAitntna I whether smaller blaies are burning In isolated parts of the forests. Although the fire protective sys tem has been virtually demoralized by the blinding haie. forest service ofifeials in Bend are optimistic. The humidity this morning was 62. The low humidity of yesterday was 2S. Xo New Fires The patrols today are feeling their way through all parts of the Deschutes forests, attempting to get in touch with timber areas which are hidden from the lookouts. Twenty-five additional men have been added to the fire protective organ ization. In the south part of the Des chutes forest, near the Cascade sum mit, part of the Windlgo pass road crew has been placed on patrol duty. These men are searching through the forests for signs of fire. No new fires have been reported in private timber, according to J. D. Bowman, fire warden for the Central Oregon Fire Patrol associa tion. Patrols are also groping their way through private timber in search for fires. So thick was the smoke in the vi cinity of Bend this morning that Pilot butte was barely discernible through the haze. The sun this morning rose out of the cast as a great red ball of fire. It was pos sible to look directly at the sun. INLAND KMPIRF.
