To Cut No Green Timber

That not stick of green timber be
cut by the mills of the Inland Empire
within the next two years, is the prac-
tical conservation plan to be discussed
by the members of the Western Pine
Manufacturers Association at a special
meeting at Spokane next Saturday.
The product of the larger mills of the
great lumber district of this section may
come entirely from the dead timber de-
stroyed in the recent forest fires. Active
steps to salvage the burned oyer district
are already under way.
President J. P. McGoldrick, of the
Western Pine Association, has directed
Secretary A. w. Cooper to call special
meeting of the members to discuss ways
and means of handling the immense
output of this district which ls prema-
turely forced upon the market.
To avoid over production and conserve
the green timber now standing is the
chief object of the lumbermen, who at
the same time will attempt to save as
much as possible of the timber that was
killed in the recent fires.
A canvass of the members will be
made to ascertain the number who have
suffered from fires, and if possible ar
rive at an estimate of the actual amount
of dead timber that will have to be cut
Immediately.
1t is under stood the members of the
association propose to cooperate with
the forestry department in the matter o1
logging the burned district and steps
will be taken for the handling of govern
ment timber also bv the mills already ir
the field.

the eye will ba saved. No trace has been

LAND OF GREAT OPPORTUNITY
Recent Investor Tells Why He
Bought Here.
Land Will Increase in Value.

The following is written bv one from
the fruit lands of Colorado, man with
orchard experience. who has spent sew
eral weeks travel in search of fruit land
that could be bought at reasonable
prices:
''After watching the price of apples
climb for the last twenty years and
knowing the production of the United
States to have fallen in that time from
63 100000 barrels of apples annually
down to 100000 barrels. and knowing
the demand for and the superiority of
the Washington apple, decided to look
over the state to inquire into the possi-
bility of getting in on the ground floor
in country that is adapted to fruit
raising.
81 first looked over the Wenatchee
valley to see what the chances were to
get a small commercial orchard, but the
price per acre ranged from 5000 to
$2500 per acre. l figured that if I had
money enough to bny one acre there I
could find locations which had not been
advertised 80 extensively where land
could be bought for less money. Of course
1 had to take INTO consideration the cli-
matte conditions, the soil. moisture, etc.,
so l started for Spokane and travelled
throughout the neighboring section. I
found many projects where good orchard
land could be bought for $500 and $1,000
per acre-land where one could raise all
the necessary products to make profit
able gardening between the rows of
trees. This looked good to me, for it is
some times necessary to make living
from between the rows in order to sup
port the family while the orchard is
coming into profitable bearing.
II went % miles north from Spokane
and found an orchard company putting
land on the market. setting 1t to orchard
and caring for it for four years at $3.50
per arce, but that did not appeal to me,
as I understand caring for trees and
gardening, and wanted something to
make living on and keep my orchard
in good condition, while myself and fam
lily could be working the soil between

alone should lead all business men and
property owners to do their part in get
ting the tournament and making it a
success.

tee can be made they can land the event.

ming of an annual exhibition or fair.
