New System
Marks Trees
For Cutting
Is Profitable In Long Run,
Says Article By Pine
Association.
MORE LUMBER AND
SAVES SEED TREES

PORTLAND What bids fair to be-
come a permanent profession is seen in
the new job of timber marker ac-
cording to the Western Pine Associa-
ton, trade group of pine Sc 0mill op-
orators in II western states, with head
quarters here,
The timber marker goes into the log
ging woods ahead of the sawyers. His
tools are simple,--a crayon, hand
ak, pad of waterproof paper. box
of tacks and a Biltmore stick. This last
is a short wooden rule of graduated
markings with which the timber mark
er, using a system of triangulation, can
tell the exact length of a tree or any
part of it.
How 1t Works.
When the timber marker has thus
measured the tree and also considered
its general appearance for the making
of lumber, he marks slip and tacks it
on the bark, below the stump cut
On the slip the marker instructs the
sawyers as to how many logs ard what
lengths shall be cut from the tree If
the slip reads a12-16-l2,' the saWyers
know they are to cut, first 12-foot
log, then a 16-foot, then another H.
foot. They must be cut in the sequence
marked
Trees that the saWyers are not to
touch. the marker designates as seed
trees tacking blank tags on them to
4 ~. r.ta,-114lraI
This new practice, which has been
tried out for more than year by sew
eral Western Pine members. has two
objects in view One is to make posi-
tive that good seed trees, from which
a continuous Western Pine forest will
grow, are left on every acre of land
logged over. The other IS . cut trees
into selected log lengths most suitable
for lumber making 1.
No two trees look alike to the for
ester-lumbernan. The mature pines
should be cut to utilize their valuable
wood before the trees become decadent
Others are more suitable for assuring
an unending crop of timber for gem
erations to come.
A Technical Job.
The job of timber marker is highly
| technical one, the association points
out, and calls for knowledge of botl
standing timber and Of lumber. West
ern Pine employees who are doing thi.
work have had long experience in botl
woods and sawmills.
Ten years ago lumbermen woule
have laughed at the idea OF marking
every tree in a forest the association
report concluded, "but not any more
Our members have found that it no
only pays them in better lumber ant

waste left in the woods but it is

DUDLEY NICHOLS writes from
Hollywood:
In adapting an historical episode
TO the screen, the writer, producer and
director are surrounded with thin ice
and there are 40 ways to fall through
it.
Mary of Scotland" which I adapt
ed from the Maxwell Anderson play
for R-K-O Radio Pictures, is no ex-
ception. There has been so much
controversy, so much accusation and
defense of Mary Stuart in the last 300
years that the subject has become
more obscure than before. instead of
clearer. This is both a help and a
hindrance.
If you say that Mary was impli-
catetd in the murder of Lord Darn
ley, a cry of protest will rise up from
her admirers all over the world. If
you depict her as innocent of any
knowledge of the act, a large body
OF historians will protest.
There are hundreds of such points
where the screen writer must make
his choice and go ahead. guided by
his own intuition and feeling for the
essence of truth and with an under
standing of dramatic values. Thus, in
the Maxwell Anderson play, there is
a meeting between Queen Elizabeth
and Mary of Scotland. While there
is no record of such meeting, drama
demands it. However, the author was
careful to have Elizabeth come to
Mary's prison under cover of dark
ness, something which might have
happened without historians of the
time ever finding it out and recording
it. 1t seems compatible with human
nature that Elizabeth might have
satisfied her Woman'S curiosity about
Mary by secretly visiting her on the
night before Mary's execution.
Provided the essential truth is pre-
served, 1 believe such dramatic Ii
cense is justified"
