senate by the forest service of the United States department of agricul- ture The development of the lumber industry of the region, however, has already progressed far. Within the last year shipments to eastern markets have largely increased, and points for merly supplied by yellow pine have been invaded up to the very boun- daries of the -pine-produc- ing territory. Approximately three and one-half times as much timber is being taken from the Pacific coast for ests as is produced by growth, while for timber of saw timber size the de- pletion is nine times the growth.
 Large Virgin Stands.
 The commercial forest area of the Pacific coast states. the report says, has been reduced to approximately 57,5S6OOO acres. "A large percentage of this, about 39,370.OOO acres, is in virgin stands" Not all of this, how ever, is accessible high-grade timber, for there is large percentage of rel atively inferior and inaccessible areas. "This is an important factor which is usually overlooked in the considera- ton of the western timber supply" Second growth of saw timber size cOv- CTS about 5,292,0 900 acres, and smaller second growth of 6,425, 900 acres, while non-restocking forests cover 6,500O0 acres.
 The present stand of timber is esti- mated to contain about 1,141 100000 board feet. Of this amount. Oregon has total stand of nearly 494, 100000 900 feet, Washington has 334, 100000 OOo feet, and California over 313,O0O.- 100000 feet. More than one-half of the total, or about 6S6,000,O00, 900 board feet, occurs in the Douglas fir belt O. western Oregon and Washing ton. Douglas fir comprises approxi- mately 55S, S,000,0O0O feet, and of this 605,OO0000,000 feet, or nearly one fourth of the remaining saw timber in the United States. is in Washington and Oregon.

 Already there Is cut-over area of approximately 6,125,0OO acres. the re- port states. Of this amount about two-thirds is in Washington and Ore gon, and a very large percentage is west of the Cascades in the Douglas fir belt. The area burned over annual ly in the three Pacific coast states is found by the forest service to amount to 45O,OOO acres, and the loss in tim Der to about 6O0,000,0OO board feet.

The total annual growth of the forests is equivalent to about 2,100,000OOO board feet. Deple- oon of the forests. therefore, approxi- mates three and one-half times the growth, while depletion of saw timber Is approximately nine times the growth of the same class of material One reason for the comparatively small amount of growth is. of course, the fact that very much of the terri tory is occupied by virgin stands.
 In spite of the tremendous supplies of timber. in certain localities a large proportion of local timber has been cut and logging operations are being pushed back to the less accessible tim Der in the rougher mountain regions, the report points out.

ONE OF TIGHE'S
PITCHERS BEATS
CLINTON, z TO O

The Dewitt, Iowa, baseball team
needed a pitcher for yesterday. So
Saturday they sent a request to
Manager Jack Tighe of the Island
ers for the loan of one Jack sent
them Cam Smith. young left
handler. for the day Dewitt was
opposed by team from Clinton.
Net result of the Islander twirl-
er's visit to Dewitt: Eighteen Clin-
ton batsmen struck out; one, and
one only one. got hit; one was
given a base on balls, and they
scored not at all. Dewitt won z to
0, and were not only aided by the
remarkable pitching Of the south
paw, but also by his hitting. He
got two-three baggers in his trips
to the plate.
Needless to say. the Dewitt fans
offered to give him the town and
make him mayor to stay with them
this summer.

SET new HOUR
TO START Play;
EvAS TO COME
Weekday Contests at Douglas
Park to Begin Promptly at
3:15 O'clock.

Evansville will slip over from
Cedar Rapids tomorrow to engage
Jack Tighe's Islanders in a three
game series at Douglas park. With
all teams in the league punched in
the percentage column there is lit
tie to learn as to the respective
merits of each. but it is sufficient to
say that the Evas can be counted
upon to provide a scrappy exhibit
ton. After Evansville comes
Bloomington. Rock Island is out
to get revenge for those first two
defeats of the season.
A change in the starting time of
the weekday games was an
nounced at the park yesterday. In
stead of 3:45 o'clock the contests
will commence promptly at 3:15.
1t is believed that this will meet
with greater satisfaction from the
fans inasmuch as the contests will
be concluded in plenty Of time to
allow everyone to remain for the
last out and still get home to an
early supper. The 3:45 time has
been found too late in the day be-
cause if the game drags it lasts till
Is o'clock and many have been
forced to leave in the sixth and
seventh inning. The Sunday and
holiday games will start at 5
o'clock.
The new time went into effect to-
day.

GOATS" DOIC HAS LANGFORD

Realizes He Is In for Toughest bat.
tie OF His Career In ST. Paul
Boy.

That "Goats" Doig of Spring
Valley realizes he is in for tougA
engagement next Thursday night
at the Empire rink when he clashes
for 10 rounds with Tommy Comis-
key of st. Paul is evidenced by the
fact that he has obtained the SER
vices of one Samuel Langford To
train him. Sam and Goats" are
now working out regularly at the
Arcade gymnasium in Chicago.
Langford is attempting to impart
all the little fine points of the ring
game to Doig. which he has learned
through about is years Of conflict
in the squared circle.
On the other hand, Comiskey is
under the special care and guild
ance OF Mike and Tommy Gibbons.

self-defense. Reports have it that
Comiskey is absorbing the many in
tracies of the scientific department.
of the ring game with surprising
rapidity and that tri-city fans will
be amazed at his vast improve
ment when they glimpse him again
this time.
Dogs recent victory over Dem
mis- QKeefe makes the coming
show all the more interesting.
While Comiskey did not beat
O'Keefe down here last fall by a.
large margin. nevertheless he shad-
ed the Chicago boy in fast To-
round setto. If Comiskey can de-
cisively defeat Doig it will put him
into prominence all over the mid
die west, and prominence in ring
circles is the means of obtaining
the dollars and cents. 1t is need
less to say that he will strive by
every means in his power to bring
about the downfall OF the tough
Spring Valley mauler.
Harry Lennon, manager OF Com
iskey, writes that he is glad OF this
opportunity to match his fighter
against Doig in view Of Dogs de-
cision over O'Keefe. He wants to
prove to the fans around here that
Comiskey is a better fighter than
O'Keefe, he says. He ends by say
ing that if Doig is as good man
as he is billed, then the fans are in,
for the classic event of the sea-
son.
Comiskey has become one Of the
most feared men in the welter-
weight division within recenh
months. The fact that Johnny
Griffiths and Bryant Downey ran
out of scheduled matches with him
at Peoria is ample proof Of this.
Downey and Griftiths are among
topnotchers in the division and il
they don't feel the inclination to
take on the st. Paul freshman. who
in the division does. outside of pos
sibly the champ himself. But then
Comiskey is being worked alonYb by
stages to a match with Britton and
when that comes be will no doubt
be ready TO wear the crown.

AUGUSTANA BEATS
LOMBARD, Is TO 4
BY. FRAZIER VANCE.

Augustana again scalped Lom-
bard college Saturday afternoon at
the Lombard field in Galesburg The
local boys trimmed them on April
II to the tune of IL to s, and re-
peated the act last Saturday with
score of Is to 4.
Loose fielding and poor base run
ming on the part of the Galesburg
aggregation were responsible in
large measures for the wide margin
gained by the Augieites. but the
local outfit had them outclassed in
every department Of the game.
Mishey. Lombard's pitcher, was re-
tired from the game in the third
inning on account of a barked shin
he acquired in a head-on collision
with Murphy, the catcher, when
both we're trying to gather in .
little pop-up. Wickstrom also was
forced to leave the game In the
fifth inning on account Of . wrench
ed ankle which he acquired In slid
ing to second.
Augie succeeded IN getting one
home run, one three-bagger, one
two-bagger, and tEo singles in the
first inning. Bengston scored the
home run and r. Palmer the triple
sacker.
This makes Angles revenge for
basketball complete.

looked to have one Of the best clubs
in baseball.
The main strength of the team
was a hard hitting, brilliant out

and Douglas.
The catching was good but the
infield only fair.
Yet for the better part of three

And the main break has been in
the pitching-coupled with weak
hitting-the two strongest looking
sectors on the club.

For ten years Joe Jackson's main
ambition has been to lead Ty Cobb
at bat. Jackson batted over 400
one season and even then was
beaten out. So far he has secured
an impressive lead over his Geor-
gia rival, but two or three things
can happen between May and Oc-
tober.
