A Washington Industry.

Cascara bark peeling has become an
active industry in the forests OF western
Washington. The bark is taken from
the barberry or ehittimwood trees that
grow profusely in the Grays harbor dis
trict. 1t has commercial value Of :
cents per pound. An ordinary tree yields
from ~ to 100 pounds of the dried bark
Whole families are engaged in collecting
the bark and selling to dealers. Some
men make 81 day at the work. Entire
sections are contracted by eastern buyers
and pcelerS engaged Ia supply the bark
There is talk of pptitioning the Icgi>ia-

trees. which are more valuable than any
timber grown in the native forest. The
bark is used for medicinal purposes 1t
is estimated that one pound Of dry bark
will make enough liquid extract to sell
