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

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. Dewey of
the Oregon Oriental line which ar-
duct and that nothing is allowed to
be wasted. 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.

Smoke Pall
Is Baffling
To Lookouts
Three Miles Limit of
Vision in Bend
Area
RBND, Ore., Aug. 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. OPKHATIONS
Virtually all sawmills in the In
land Empire are operating and most
of the logging camps are running.
A few saw and planing mills are
running and putting on third shifts
for a period of 60 of 90 days, an in
