WOOD AS USEFUL AS STEEL
IF HANDLED INTELLIGENTLY
Douglas Fir Is Most Important Struc'
tural Timber In United States,
Says Logging Engineer.

UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON,
March 16.-Wood is Just as useful
as steel If it is handled with intclli-
gence. declared o. P. M. Goss, engi-
neer for tho West Coast Lumber
mems association, in an illustrated
lecture during the national conven-
ton Of the intercollegiate Forestry
clubs. held on the campus of tho
University of Washington.
Mr.. Goss called attention to a
wooden-stave pipeline now under
construction on the Pacific Coast in
replacement of a steel line but ten
years old.
A wooden bridge span or a stave
pipeline built by man who knows
his business will last for 25 years. he
said. He pointed out that at the end
of 25 years the function of the struc-
ture may have changed so that it
ought to be replaced or rebuilt along
different lines.
Douglas fir unquestionably is the
most important structural timber in
the United States, and creosoted
Douglas fir is rivaling asphalt and
similar materials as paving, he said.
