Washington and Oregon the Source of
Lumber Supply

THE Northwest section, comprising
Oregon, Washington and Idaho, will
witness the fullest development of its
lumber industry within the next ten
years." said Professor E. o. Siecke,
instructor in the newly established
school of forestry at the State college,
in recent conversation. Just now
about one-fourth Of the merchantable
timber Of the United States is in Wash
ington and Oregon. The Lake State
Region, including Michigan, Wiscon-
sin and Minnesota, is logged out; so
is the Southern belt, which comprises
northern Alabama and Georgia, Ten
nessee and Kentucky, the western parts
of West Virginia and Virginia, the east
ern part of Texas, Arkansas, and the
southern part of Missouri. In very
few years the people of the United
States will be looking to the Pacific
Northwest for much of their lumber. "

S3295 FROM ONE SHOT
Gibson & Moore Strike Rich Pocket of
Gold on CheIan Butte

The following story was sent to the
daily papers from Chelan last Friday:
William Gibson and w. B. Moore,
who are doing development work on a
claim on Chelan butte, blew out in one
shot gold worth $32o5. On the side
of their work cross-cutting porphyry
dixie they noticed an exposure that
looked like a pocket OF quartz. 1t was
partly covered and powder-stained.
4 could not keep it out of my
mind" said Mr. Moore, and finally I
told Gibson that l was going to blow
that piece out and see what was in it.
The piece, as we afterward found, was
about half a cubic yard in size. l
drilled the 18-inch holes at opposite
corners and used half stick OF dyna-
mite in each hole. The whole pocket
was thrown out and the quartz was full
of gold. We sent it to the smelter
and got $3295, not counting a number
of curiously formed pieces which we
saved as curiosities.
Moore brought one Of the samples
to Seattle and had it weighed by a
local jeweler, who said there was
$26.62 Of gold in the piece. He
offered him SIS for projecting piece
OF pure gold, which Moore declined.
The sample appeared to contain as
much quartz as gold. 1t is not in a
solid lump, but has the appearance of
a number of small pieces welded to-
gether by the gold. Moore says the
one shot took the entire pocket.

The editors OF Okanogan county,

M. Dallam, editor and proprietor Of

LUMBER INDUSTRY RUINED
And the State Loser by Many Millions if
the Proposed Raise in freight
Rates Takes Effect

1t is generally known that rates on
lumber and shingles from the state of
Washington will be advanced 10 cents
per 100 pounds on either October lst
or November 1st. The tariffs have not
as yet been filed by the railroads with
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
but there is no question as TO the ad-
vance being made. This means an
addition of $3.50 per 1000 feet Of
lumber and a corresponding addition
to the price OF shingles. This may not
mean much to the average man, but
when it is taken into consideration that
$1,000 carloads OF lumber and shingles
annually are affected and that the total
loss to the state may be $45, 100000,
some idea of why the lumbermen are
agitated may be arrived at.
The output of the lumber industry
of the state OF Washington is valued at
800, 900, 0,000-fa more than wheat,
coal and the fisheries combined. The
men employed number 10l, 900, to
whom are paid in annual wages the
sum of $70,000,000. The cutting off
OF S45 100000 should be of serious
moment TO every citizen of this great
state. Eight hundred and nineteen
lumber dealers in the states of Iowa,
Illinois, Kansas, Nebraska, Indiana,
Missouri, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Ohio,
Oklahoma, North Dakota, Colorado,
South Dakota, Pennsylvania and Wy
oming, now purchasing 24,510 car
loads OF lumber and 2241 carloads of
shingles annually from the state OF
Washington, will use, if the advance
in rates become effective, only 2502
carloads OF lumber and 2241 carloads
OF shingles, or less than IS per cent.
OcNGH uuuuICu anu iOILy -SCNCl VI lnCSC
firms say they will not use Washington
shingles at all, but will rely on substi-
tutes. AS the total lumber and shingle
shipments from this state last year foot
ed up 10000 carloads, il is evident
that the new rate will be disastrous.
The lumbermen are in no position
to absorb this advance of $3.50 per
1000 feet, because their profits today
average only $1.50 per 1000 feet. 1t
is unquestionably true, in this connec-
ton, that advances in the prices of
lumber have been made the past three
years, but the advances in labor, sup
plies, logs and stumpage have also
taken place, and the average profit is
as stated. The railroad charts show an
immense lumber advance from 1904 to
1907, but il does not show that in 1904
lumber was manufactured below cost Of
production. This was the year the
lumbermen asked for 40 cent rate to
the Missouri river, and showed that
they were burning up $4,000 carloads
