FOREST TIMBER
ON The MARKET
Government Offers Rainier
Mountain District Lumber
at StumpaGe Prices

WARRINGTON, April S.-The For
est Service has just begun to adver-
tise the twelfth large lot Of Nation
al Forest timber offered for sale
within the past nine months. Alto
gether 1t has advertised since July ].
1912. the beginning of the present
fiscal year, about 2,500,00O,000 feet,
and has closed contracts for the sale
of 1,700,0000000 feet. The largest
sale is OF approximately 52,00O,000
feet of saw timber in the Rainior
Mountain forest about 80 miles from
Tacoma.
In offering the National Forest
timber for sale the Government first
makes an estimate of the quantity OF
timber on an area which would ma
turally form single logging unit,
and which offers attractive opportuni-
ties for the lumberman. The prob
able cost of logging and manufactur-
ing by a capable lumberman is then
estimated. On the basis of these es-
Inmates combined with the figures for
market values and freight charges
the lumber is appraised and then ad-
vertised for sale, with the appraised
value as a minimum price.
The minimum prices set for the
Rainier timber vary from so cents
to $3.50 per thousand feet. according
to the kind of timber. These are
stumpage prices-that is. the pur-
chaser buys the trees on the stump
and does all the logging but pays ac-
cording to the board foot measure of
the logs. The Government aims to al
low the manufacturer a liberal profit
on the basis that numbering involves
good deal of business risk. and the
minimum stumpage prices are fixed
accordingly. Often, however, com
petitive bids raise the price above
the advertised minimum.
One of the provisions of the con-
tract which the successful bidder for
the Rainier timber will enter into
will be that If market prices advance
materially the Governments Chief
Forester may, after the sale has
run three years, require a reason
enable readjustment of the stumpage
prices up to an added 90 cents per
] thousand The object Of this stiDua-
ton is to prevent loss to the Gov
ernment-that is, to the public
and an undue profit to the purchaser
through tue lOuB-ltIm COnlIdCtn th-
tered into on rising market. Pro
vision against such speculative
profits is regarded as especially ne
/ cessary in view of the long-term
sales now sometimes made to get pur-
chasers for large bodies Of inacces-
sible timber.
For the Rainier. sale the cutting
period allowed is only five years,
since the quantity of timber involv-
ed approximately 52,0O0.OO0 board
feet-does not call for an extended
operation. One National Forest sale
made this year was for S00,000,000
board feet and the purchasers were
allowed a cutting period OF twenty
two years, besides a preliminary two
years in which to build a railroad.
Usually purchasers must begin OPP
Grating the year of purchase and cut
stipulated amount each year.
The latter provision is simply an
example Of a fundamental principle
that is. applied in all National For
