to 10000 feet of merchantable timber
to the acre. About the foothills O.
Mount Rainier even greater density il
found. In the Olympic country, south
of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, and be.
tween the Sound and the ocean, the
density is so great as to render the
country almost impenetrable, and
comparatively little is known of its
resources.
The timber of Washington is far
more limited in its variety than in its
amount. Fir and cedar predominant.
The wide-branching, deciduous trees
are almost unknown. 49,
The dark, harsh foliage of the ever
green lends an almost monotonous
tone to the landscape. Along the
shores of Puget Sound and in the
Olympic and Chehalis or Gray's Har-
Dor districts, the Douglas fir some.
times called the Oregon pine predomi.
mates, and these trees here reach a
diameter Of IL to Is feet, and trees
have been measured that reached $50
feet in height, though Professor Sar-
gent in his report accompanying the
tenth census places the extreme diam.
eter at IL feet and the extreme height
at $50 feet. and these figures will prob
ably closely approximate the average
size of the trees.
South of this region, in the COM
tries to the north OF the Columbia
River, the cedar is more abundant.
The cellar reaches height of $50 to
200 feet, and diameter of IL to IA
feet. The wood is dull brown tinged
with red, very light, soft, coarse
grained, and easily worked. The tide
land spruce, a soft wood that takes a
COOL finish, is found, particularly near
the mouth of the Columbia, where 1t
forms an almost continuous forest OF
fifty miles. The Pacific Coast hem
lock completes the list of the princi.
pal trees of Washington. Maple, alder
and cottonwood, are found, but not in
large quantities and having little COM
mercial value.
In commercial value as we'll as in
quantity the Douglas fir stands first.
The following tests were made by Off
cials OF the Northern Pacific Railroad
May, 1889.
The tensile strength of the fir
is as compared with that Of Eastern
woods used for purposes when
strength was required, is given by
the result of tests made at the
Northern Pacific car shops at Ia
coma. The experiments were made
with 2 by inch sticks, feet long,
laid edgewise on supports feet 9
inches apart in the clear. A concen-
trated weight was applied to the CEN
ter until the sticks broke with the fol-
lowing results:
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1892-07-15


The fir is used for all purposes re-
quiring strength and durability, and
how well it meets these requirements
is shown by the tests given above.
The seasoned stick had been exposed
to the weather for several years, yet
it had gained immensely in strength.
The bark of the Douglas fir is also
strong in tannin. containing 1929 per
cent. while the Eastern hemlock con-
trims but 1911 per cent. The de-
mand for tannin has not yet been de-
veloped, however and the bark goes to
waste.
The cedar is practically used in the
manufacture of shingles, which, ow-
ing to the great durability of the wood
and the fact that it will neither warp
nor shrink, are finding growing
market in the Eastern States. 1t is
also a favorite for interior finish, ow.
ing to the beautiful effects that can be
obtained by bastard saving.
The hemlock is practically rich in
tannin, the bark showing percentage
of 1878, against 1911 per cent. in the
Eastern hemlock. When the develop.
ment of the tanning industry brings
it into the market, this tree will prove
very valuable but at present it is used
only in the manufacture of q coarse
lumber.
For the purpose of comparison and
reference the following tables have
been compiled from q variety ol
sources. The State is arbitrarily di.
vided, chiefly with reference to the
varieties and amount OF timber. In
the Olympic and Gray's Harbor
country, and in what is classed 81
the Puget Sound region Gncludine
Cascades), the Douglas fir is the most
abundant; in the southern part oI
Western Washington the cedar takes
first place, though the fir is still
prominent. In the Eastern part ol
the State the yellow or bull pine, red
fir, cedar and hemlock predominate.
The cut of 1891 was in reality rather
small, owing to number of smaller
mills being shut down, and the other.
working only on part time. In
presenting the number Of mills, the
daily capacity, and the cut for 1891
the lumber and shingle mills have
been grouped together as handlers o
timber, and to the 1891 cut should bt
added 34O, ,OO0,0O feet of lumber cu
in the State, but unclassified as u

One of our esteemed contemporaries

Stubble ground or plOwed ground was
not half destroyed. while that drilled into
wheat stubble was in some instances.
One case he mentioned where wheat
field had been visited by the hail. part of
which WAS drilled into wheat stubble and
part drilled into plowed ground. More
than half Of the latter stood up all right.
while the former was entirely beaten to
the ground. He accounts for this by
saying that wheat grown on recently
plOwed or cultivated land has an elastic
vigor which enables 1t to react and
straighten up after being smitten by hail,
while that upon stubble is not so strong
and when once crushed down does not
have sufficient vitality to recover. Mr..
Brown did not find single instance
where wheat on corn ground or that
which had been plowed recently was to-
tally destroyed.
