l have just read with interest
your references to letter written to
your paper by w. A. Lppincot and
his description OF the 1855 blizzard.
which makes me remember the ter
rible blizzard of 1863. We had had
rather mild. threatening weather dur
ing the last week in December, 1852.
and on the thirty-first the wind
shifted from southeast to northwest
and began showing. On January first.

WASHINGTON, d. O.. Jan. "a
That unstable and partly speculative
forest ownership In the west and
south Is the cause Of frequent over.
cutting OF the market and waste af
forest resources 10 announced by the
forest service In a report just OH the
press. Too large stocks OF limb II
acquired from the public domain and
too much timber speculation mixed
with the manufacture OF lumber, says
the service, underlie the present
instability of the industry.
All this, the service points out,
concerns the lumber user. Many
states are paying dearly for lumber
because their own timber is Largely
used up and outside supplies can be
obtained only at high costs for trans
portation. With little being done TO
grow new forests on cutover lands,
more widespread shortage OF forest
products Is threatened in the future.
The forest service advocates var
ious forms OF open-prfce cooperation
among lumber manufacturers to
make the industry more efficient and
check wasteful over-production. But
1t is strongly against changes In tho
present competitive character OF To
business through combinations TO
control output or regulate prices.
even though advocated In the name
OF conservation.
The forest service finds that the
main problem Of the humber industry
has grown out OF the hundreds of BIZ
lions OF feet OF timber acquired
cheaply few years ago from tho
public domain. Lumbermen in the
west are carrying vast quantities OF
cumberland beyond all possible needs
of their present sawmills and log
ging camps. Widespread speculation
during Few years or sudden develop
ment carried timber values very high.
and many western stumpage hold.
ings have been overcapitalized.
The business of making lumber,
says the report, has thus been loaded
down with investments in cumberland
The productive branch Of the indus
try has been fnteriocked too largely
with speculations In its raw material;
and instead Of standing on its own
feet as a manufacturing business, has
tended to be the tail of the dog. made
frequently to serve the exigencies OF
timber speculation. According to the
report, pressure from an overload of
timber is the first cause OF the gen.
eral instability of the industry. For
one thing, it has led to building mills
beyond the demand for their products
At least third Of the saws are now
