Forest Notes.

Over a million and a quarter board
feet of wood is used annually in the
mines of Oregon for props, tagging,
ties, and rifle boxes.
Oregon consumes 536 board feet
of lumber per capita annually.
In 1914 in the construction of
ships at the ship building yards of
Oregon and Washington, nearly 49,
100000 board feet of high grade
lumber and timbers were consumed.
Australian ironback contributed 35,-
600 board feet to this total.
To repair the spokes, tongues and
reaches of broken wagons, the black
smiths and wheelwrights of the
towns and cities of Oregon and
Washington used over 100000 board
feet of oak, ash, hickory, etc. The
average cost per thousand board feet
of this raw material was over one
hundred dollars.
A new process of creosoting Doug
las fir has recently been developed
which does not impair the strength
of the timber.
