TILLAMOOK COMMERCIAL
CLUB AND RIVED SPRUCE,
Interesting Letters from Wash
ington-Dangers of Forest
Fires Pointed Out.
In reply to the telegram sent to the
Oregon delegation by the Tillamook
Commercial Club in regard to the
spruce production
in this county,
several letters have been received
from Washington, which we give be
low in full. What the Commercial
Club was anxious to overcome was
the waste connected with getting out
rived spruce, as well as the great ex
pense and danger of forest fires nt.
summer.
Several propositions to get
spruce for the government have
made to Colonel Bisque by Tillamook
parties, A. G. Beals and John Weiss
having gone to Portland and inter
view him, but thus far have been un
able to make any satisfactory arrange
ments.
One of the letters state that a tele
gram had been sent to Fred C. Baker
to take up the matter with Colonel
Bisque, but no such telegram has
been received.
It was in no antagonistic spirit that
the Tillamook Commerçai Club sent
the telegram to Washington, but if
possible to increase the production of
spruce without so considerable waste
and the danger of fire. The fire danger
must not be overlooked. Every sec
tion of the county where rived spruce
is being split, is a dangerous menace,
not only to the large and extensive
belt of timber in this county, but to
dairy farms and everybody who lives
in Tillamook County. Therefore the
Tillamook Commercial Club felt jus
tified in calling attention to these
matters, and, if possible, do some
thing to eliminate the danger of fire.
