CLEARWATER CO.
TIMBER SOLD
WeyerhaeuSerS Increase Hold
ines by 10000 Acres,
Mostly White Pine

What is probably the biggest tim
ber deal ever made in Clearwater
county was consumated last week,
when the Weyerhaeuser interests
purchased the holdings of the Spo-
kane and Eastern Trust Co., the
Kettenbach Co., Ltd, and R. c..
Beach, comprising a total of $1,000
acres of high-grade timber mostly
choice white pine. The land is sit
uated in the timber belt of Clear
water county and comprises the for
w. F. Kettenbach, who made the or
iginal entries about twenty years
ago. The consideration Is reported
as being 100000. This sum is
doubtless merely nominal, but it is
believed by those who know the
value of timber land in this region
that the price is not far from the
actual figure obtained.
The Weyerhaeuser syndicate al
ready owns about 100000 acres of
timber in this section. This renewed
energy of this big corporation in
Clearwater county again lends color
to the common belief that the
Weyerhaeusers fully appreciate the
value Of timber in the Clearwater
country. The sale also confirms re-
peated rumors to the effect that the
Weyerhaeusers intend to market
this timber at their earliest conven-
iS-ce, which will probably be when
the present slump in lumber has be-
come readjusted to morn al conditions.
White pine is generally regarded
as being the choicest OF lumber The
supply is becoming quite limited,
which will necessitate the market
ing Of the white pine in this section.
1t is only by commercializing the
timber in the Clearwater section that
the mills can hope to meet the grow
ing demand for white pine.
The construction Of q railroad IL
s<San indispensable adjunct to the mar
ketfnes of this timber. Preliminary
surveys have already been completed
In fact. 1t was only last year that
the Clearwater Timber company dis.
charged its railroad surveyors. The
purchase of this timber, following
as 1t does. SO closely upon the hee
of that survey Mas increased tht
hope of early construction of a rail
road from Orofino eastward fifty OF
more miles. The holdings of tn.
purchasers are SO large that trans
portation by railroad Is the only
economic means Of marketing tn,
lumber
Two or three years may elapse be
fore construction work begins. It /,
generally conceded that it will tax,
about that length of time to reduc,
conditions to normal in the lumber
ing, industry. But when work doe
begin, there is no telling what 1
will mean for Orofino and the sur
rounding country. It will furnish
employment to many thousands o
men and bring into the country vas
sums Of money. .Orofino will bee m
the business center Of all activities
This will speedily push the town int
the front rank commercially. Man
new homes will be needed to hous
the families of the men coming t
work. Nor will the boom be of
temporary nature. The marketing @
so vast tract of timber will re
quire at least generation. in pofn
of time. And when we have sal

INCREASING FORCE

La Sale county was one-fifth OF a
bale; in Freestone County one-sixth
OF a bale; in Gonzales County, one
sixteenth Of a bale; in Guadalupe
County one-seventh Of bale; IN
HAYS County one-fifth Of bale.
Yields Are Very Small.
Karnes County cultivated SO per
