provements, rapid depreciation of in
vestments, and other losses which the
industry, the community, and the con-
sumner must shoulder"
Being Cut Rapidly.
The timber stand in California is be-
ing cut at the rate of about 100000
600 feet annually. practically all Of
the cut, up to the present time, has
been in the most accessible stands,
whereas considerable part Of the re-
naming timber is comparatively in
accessible" the report says. Logging
operations are removing annually
little less than per cent Of western
Washington's and less than 1 per cent
Of western Oregon's timber. Yet the
reasonably accessible timber and that
in private ownership is going very
much faster; and, with decreasing
southern pine production, enormous
pressure to increase the cut may be
expected"
AS an example, the situation in
Gray's HarbOr county is cited: about
20 years ago there were in this coun-
ty 100000 acres of timber and only
about $4,000 acres of cuttings Now
there are 355,000 acres of stumps.
One-sixteenth of the county's private
timber land is being cut over annually.
In % years the supply of privately
owned virgin timber will be gone"
1t has been found that In western
Washington about S5, 900 acres annual
ly, and in eastern Washington $4,000
acres annually were cut over from 1909
to 1919. All things considered, 1t is
expected by an authority on the lum-
Der supplies of Washington that the
privately-owned virgin timber supply
Of the state will be virtually gone in 20
years unless forest policies are
changed.
Local Consumption Factor.
Forest depletion in Washington has
proceeded much further than in Ore
gon, the report says; and while an ex-
pansion of the industry in Washing
ton under the increased demands from
eastern markets may reasonably be
expected, by far the greater part of
the expansion may be looked for In
Oregon. 1.-THE reason for the slower
development in Oregon lies in the in
accessibility of its Douglas fir stands.
Many operations now being seriously
considered for Oregon will require
transportation and other investments
running into the millions Of dollars be-
fore any timber can be TAKEN"
Local consumption must be taken
into account in considering the de-

mand upon the forests, the report
points out. The situation in Califor-
MIA is cited as an example. That state
has been an important source of ex-
port material from the earliest days.
Large quantities Of lumber are still ex-
ported from it to the east and to for
eign countries, but the states popula-
ton and agricultural and industrial
development have more than kept pace
with the output of lumber, so that 1t
is doubtful whether production has
exceeded consumption since about
1875. 1.-THE per capita lumber cut of
the state has been approximately
equal or slightly in excess Of the av-
erage per capita consumption of the
United States since between 1869 and
1879, while the average. consumption
Of the state is probably somewhat
greater than for the country as
whole" the report says. I'm 1919,
southern California alone used the
equivalent of about one-half the total
cut of the state, a per capita consump-
ton of at least twice that Of the whole
United States"
Big Increase In Cut.
1t can be expected, according to the
report, that the lumber cut for the Pa
cific coast states as whole will in
crease very materially during the next
ten years. 1t says: "a gradual rise
in logging costs is inevitable as the
more accessible stands are cut, and 1t
becomes necessary to extend opera
lions to the more mountainous logging
chances The timber resources Of the
Pacific coast states are very large, but
it would be very unwise to overesti-
mate them, for much less than the to-
tai stand is readily available. Exist
ing transportation facilities to the east
are already overburdened with pres
ent traffic, and they will have to be
very materially increased to meet the
probable reduction in eastern and
southern lumber cut during the next
ten years."
Although the Pacific coast states
have large amounts Of timber, the re-
port points out that they will be called
on to supply increasing amounts of
lumber for the whole country. The
danger is that, like other forested re-
gions, they will be considered "inex-
haustible" until it is too late. While
the government has established num-
Der of national forests in these states
which are devoted to growing timber,
other measures are necessary to pre-
vent depletion Of the Pacific coast for
ests.
