RED CEDAR FOR BUILDINGS
Some % Iris Excellent Material Is Es-

sand Years Old.

Il VIII surprise many 10 know that

timated 10 be 900 years old. II the
shingles or interior nnish is red cedar
or II you have 4 red cedar chest Il IS
possible that the wood antedates the
history Of this country by thousands
Of years. says the Cleveland Leader.
A Cleveland man is credited vita
bringing the first red cedar into this
section. VI. A. Geist, on western trip
several years ago, was attracted by the
red cedar forests at Port Angelus.
Wash. He established a mill there
and began shipping the cedar 70 the
eastern market Formerly the south
ern cedar was used IN great quantities,
but Il Is the claim OF Mr.. Geist that
the product from the Pacific coast is
growing IN favor and the demand for
Il Is increasing.
i is 4 most durable wood and its
use in home guarantees that moths
and other troublesome insects viii not
enter. II IS used for wainscoting. rlan-
tels. cupboards, cabinets and especially
for chests in which TO store furs and
clothing. Mr. Geist exhibits a quantity
Of red cedar cut from a tree he esti-
mates to be at least 300 years Of age.
Three large cedars we're found growing
from fallen log which was FIVE and
one-half feet in diameter. The largest
Of the three trees growing from the
fallen tree was ten and one-half feet in
diameter. By counting the rings IL
both trees indicates that the fallen
tree, still sound, is nearing it's four
thousandth birthday.
Mr Geist is an expert upon red
cedar and goes in for the history Of
the wonderful trees Of Washington and
other coast states as q biographer
would the data upon the life of some
famous man. He surrounds a bolt of
shingle cedar with an interesting story,
which goes back to the misty ages and
something like reverence grows within
the listener for this venerable work of
nature.
Unquestionably the red cedar Is the
Oldest material used in the construc-
tion OF the home and few materials
viii outwear 1t, it being nearly inde-
structible except by fire.
