TIMBER FOR PAPER MAKING


Many inquiries have been recently
made as to the adaptability OF Oregon
timber for paper making. The supply
of the great paper mills on the Fox
river and at other points in Wisconsin
Is nearly at an end. Agents have been
sent out to examine the woods Of the
Pacific northwest and experiments are
stated to be in progress to utilize some
OF the less valuable timber trees there
found. The balm and cottonwood of
the Willamette and it's tributary
streams have been long used The
spruce and some other varieties Of
conifera will give large supplies II
found satisfactory. Attention ia now
being given to the bull pine and ex-
periments made of which the results
will be watched with interest.
