ABoUr WASHINGTON TIMBER.
July Overland.

1t is difficult to convey any adequate
impression as to the amount OF timber in
Washington. Last year the mills OF the
State cut one and quarter billion feet of
lumber, or enough to build 500 wooden
buildings as large as the new Mills Build
ing in San Francisco. Yet working at
the same rate, it would require nearly
four centuries to cut all the timber now
standing in the State. Were all the
timber in Washington converted into
lumber Of the various kinds, it would
suffice to build city forty miles long and
twelve miles. wide, all the buildings be-
ing four stories high, and no space being
allowed for yards, gardens or public
parks. A street leading from San Fran
cisco to New York might be lined with
five-story buildings, two hundred feet
deep, and there would be enough lumber
left to plank the street its entire length
and build wooden sidewalks on each
side.
The figures are not available for COM
parison with the standing timber in the
other States at the present time, but the
following table is compiled from the CEN
sus OF 1880:

KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE
BOARD.

The school board of this district see ms
to be under the impression that its acts
should be free from criticism. The HER
AID, in view Of what it considers its duty
to the public, can scarcely concede that
the boards impression is the correct one.
If the board could be brought to see that
1t owes duty to the people, and not to
any individual member of the board, it
would begin to conceive the purpose of
its existence.
The people, we believe, have been able
to acquiesce in but few actions of the
board, and the contemplated action OF
the board, to increase the salary of the
principal from $1,000 to $500 year, is a
proposition to which the people seriously
object.
The HERALD has only the friendliest
feelings toward the principal, but the
only question in this case is, can town
of 1000 inhabitants afford to pay such a
sum? The HERALD is of the opinion, and
interviews with them shows this to pe
the opinion OF the principal citizens OF
Aberdeen, that the salary should be
about $1,000 year.
There was an agreement made some
time ago that the monthly salary of all
teachers should be increased every year,
for term Of years, by the addition of five
dollars. All whom we have interviewed
say if there Is any increase anywhere it
should be among the teachers.
There should be no increase made any,
where, at this time. The expenses of the
district during the next session will be
much greater than in the past. The
number of scholars in South Aberdeen
makes school there a necessity, and
one has been ordered. The indications
are that the little folks will have to have
a separate school on the low land. These
additional expenses will have to be met
by the people, not by the board. Will
the board consider or ignore the people

ONE MAN POWER.

The county superintendent of schools
has decided that there is vacancy in the
board of directors, and has appointed
Alex Young to fill the vacancy, who has
been duly sworn in. But this does not
please one of the members Of the board.
Constituting himself court and jury, he
tells Mr.. Young that "The Board" pre-
fers that Mr.. Young should not act.
This is piece of gross presumption and
impertinence on the part of "The Board !"
or rather speaking more accurately, OF
this member of the board. Section 6,
chapter 127, Of the laws of 1891 says
ANY person or board of directors ag-
gieved by any decision or order of the
county superintendent may, within
thirty days after the rendition of such a
decision or making of such order, appeal
therefrom to the superintendent of public
instruction" Any person or the board,
If aggrieved, may appeal from the county
superintendent's decision or order in this
case; but the decision and order holds,
unless reversed by the superintendent of
public instruction, and can not be set
aside by any member Of the board of
directors acting as judge and jury. In
the meanwhile, Mr.. Young is member
Of the board, and should act as such.
1t is high time the people of this dis
trict took more active interest in school
affairs.

IT is pretty well understood that no
man who assisted in framing or passing
the iniquitous revenue and taxation law
by the last legislature, need ask for any
political favors this year. The new road
law isn't looked upon with very
much more favor. The republican party
can't afford to nominate men to be showed
under at the polls. Our nominees, both
county and state, must be men against
whom even their enemies can say naught.
Such men are to be had, and can be
elected. Any candidate undeserving the
confidence of the people will be defeated.

Tide Land Decision.

The late decision of the state supreme
court in the tide land case, the Terry
heirs against Jones, lays down the rule of
law that the state by its constitution dis
claimed all title and interest in the tide
and overlooked lands which had been
patented by the United States. This APP
pears to settle the status of the most val
liable water front property of the Sound
cities, and if confirmed by the United
States supreme court, will probably
greatly limit the scope and authority of
the state harbor line commission, validate
the railroad title to the tide flats in front
of its right OF way in this city, leaving it
free to carry out its proposed dock i'm
How it will affect the scrip
filing process upon tide lands extensively
located in the principal harbors of the
Sound a few years ago is not apparent

The fir is used for all purposes requir-
ing 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 i'm
mensely in strength. The bark of the
Douglas fir is also strong in tannin, con-
tanning 1870 per cent. while the Eastern
hemlock contains but 1911 per cent.
The demand for tannin has not yet been
developed, however, and the bark goes to
waste.
The cedar is principally in the manu-
, facture OF shingles, which, owing 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 favorite for interior
finish, owing to the beautiful effects that
can be obtained by bastard saving.
The hemlock is particularly rich in tan
min, the bark showing percentage OF
1878, against 1911 pei cent in the East
ern hemlock When the development of
the tanning industry brings it into the
market, this tree will prove very valuable
but at present it is used only in the man
ufacture of coarse lumber.
For the purpose Of comparison and ref
erence the following tables have been
compiled from variety Of sources. The
State is arbitrarily divided, chiefly with
reference to the varieties and amount OF
timber. In the Olympic and Gray's Har-
Dor country, and in what is classed as
the Puget Sound region (including Cas-
cades), the Douglas fir is the most abund-
ant; in the southern part of Western
Washington the cedar takes first place,
though the fir is still prominent. In the
eastern part of the State the yellow or
bull pine, red fir, cedar and hemlock pre-
dominate.

small, owing to number OF smaller mills
being shut down, and the others work.

with it, however, to death the appropria-

beneficial to all OF Eastern Washington.

DELINQUENT Taxes.

The state auditor has addressed to vari-
GUS county auditors circular letter Civ
ing the opinion of the attorney general
in relation to delinquent county taxes.
In this opinion the attorney general says
that the only way to protect the county
and secure and continue lien for taxes
prior to the first day Of April, 1891, is to
commence suits against the real estate on
which the taxes are delinquent and pros
ecute such suits to judgment and sale
prior to the first day Of November, 1892.
Such suits should therefore be com
menced without delay. So far as taxes
that become due and payable subsequent
to the first day OF April, 1891, are con-
cerned, he is of opinion that the lien of
the county will continue for five years
after the expiration Of the first day of
March of the year succeeding that in
which they become dine, in accordance
with the limitation contained in section
96, page BIZ, laws OF 1891.
