DIVISION OF FORESTRY ADDS TO
IT'S LABoRs IN WASHINGTON.
Corps to Arrive Here June 1-Whi

sound, and Endeavor to bring

The division of forestry of the depart
ment of agriculture, on June q will begin
a new work in Washington. On that
date a corps of expert cruisers Will be
sent here to make observations and
measurements of the standing hemlock
timber on Puget Sound The work, IT is
expected, will occupy the entire season,
and may not be concluded until 1901.
Its object is to bring this neglected wood
to the attention of Eastern millmen and
prove that instead of being worthless. as
is generally supposed on the Coast, 1t Is
capable of making profitable showing
in the lumber market
Another phase of the work will be to
ascertain the rate of growth and the
time required to produce a merchanta-
BILE stand. The Western hemlock, it is
said possesses remarkable powers OF re-
production, and may be counted on to
replenish logged-off acres much more
rapidly than fir.
BY the present methods of numbering,

do with seggregating the hemlock from
the fir, immense quantities of hemlock
are annually destroyed, for II is left to
be burned by the fires, which so fire.
quently follow the removal of the fir.
1t is the belief of the department that
If this timber can be given its true, value
before the public logging methods may
be modified, and even should 1t come to
pass that the market develops slowly.
there will be a greater effort to prevent
its waste.
Hemlock. It liz said, is one of the larg-
est and most widely distributed timbers
on the North Pacific Coast. Unfortunate
ly IL suffers from the prejudice against
Eastern hemlock, a closely allied though
much inferior species, for which reason
1t has but little commercial value. 1t
is to be found in large quantities In al
most every western county in the state,
but 1t grows at it's best on the coo ,
damp slopes of the mountains in this
state and in Oregon 1t rs not infre-
quent, it is said. that trees are found
In large numbers in certain districts 200

mixed with fir the most important and
valuable timber in the entire Northwest
The great differences between the East
ern and Western species of hemlock Is
that the latter. ii is stated by those
familiar with the wood, Is less apt to
be shaky, Is stronger more durable end
more easily worked than the former.
The bark is said to contain much more
tannin.
To bring this timber more prominently
to the front, and in an effort to have
the vast growth here utilized, the ivi-
sion of forestry will bend its efforts dur
