The West Coast Lumberman SAYS:
ilmbermen and lumbermen are realizing
that the boom statements made about
the standing timber in Washington are
injurious. This journal has frequently
stated that the popular estimates were
not only the widest sort of guesses, but

cent. Some well-posted lumbermen are
asking that this be again reduced. The
only sale ground to take on this ques-
tlon is the same Bob Ingersoll holds on
