tory In Portland operates largely In
material derived from planted wood
lots east OF the Cascade mountains,
The wood is shipped to their fac
tory In four-foot lengths. and pieces
over eight inches or so In diameter

keen that operators can afford TO
go ten miles or so from railroad
shipping point to get carload lot or
more II the highway facilities are
moderately good.
II you know OF any tracts OF this
species, Of carload lot or more.

e OF them, giving the information
specifically as possible. stating
nch factors as location. name OF

Black locust Is sometimes called
yellow locust. The tree has simple
thorns. showy. white. fragrant flow
