it's merits, the axe of lumberman had never marked
such forest giants as those in the redwood forests
of California the fir Of Oregon and Washington
the magnificent white and sugar pines of the in
land area. 1t was lumbermen's paradise Nowhere
earth did the forests contain much wood
per the fir and redwood of this coast.
The first mill on the coast was built by the
Russians at Fort Ross in 1918. It is probable that
the Russians had mill at Stka Alaska, prior to
that date, but the writer has found no account of
it. Other early California mills were at Bodega,
Tocaloma and Santa Cruz.
THE first mill in the north was built by the Hud-
son Bay Company at Fort Vancouver, now Van
couver, Washington in 1824-5 Several mills were
built between that time and 1850 along the Colum-
bia and Willamette Rivers. In 1849 there 80
small mills in Oregon. In 1849, small mill was
built at the head of Puget Sound, just outside of
the present city of Olympia. The first mill built
in Seattle, Yeslers started in 1853. In 1855, 16
mills, with combined capacity of $4,000 feet per
day, were operating on Puget Sound.
Washington is now the first state in lumber pro-
duction, with Oregon second while Oregon is first
in timber resources, with Washington second Cali
forna is third both in timber resources and in lum
ber production. Sixty-two per cent of the uncut
standing saw-tmber in the United States today is
in the three Pacific states. California is of the
greatest lumber markets in the world. It has the
largest per capita lumber consumption of any state
or ndClOn LII normal years, CaIIOrnla consumes
about 3,50O,OOO0OO board feet year. or approxi-
matey 10 per cent of the national cut
THE STORY of the development of the industry
has largely been one of increasingly large oper-
ations, bigger mills greater concentration of hold
ings. While California and Louisiana boast mills of
enormous capacity-mills that would have stag
gered Paul Bunyan-the largest mills in America
and in the world today are in the Pacific North
west
Probably the largest single unit is that of the
Coos Bay Lumber Company at Marshfeld Oregon
This mill cuts $4,000 feet of lumber in eight
hours. The Red River Lumber Company's giant
mill at Westwood, Calf, is credited with 100000
feet of lumber in eight hours.
There are quite number of mills in the north
west capable of producing $4,000 to 100000 feet
in eight hours The Weyerhauser Timber Co. has
three mills at Longview Wash, with combined
capacity of 100000 feet; the Long-Bell Lumber
Co. has two big units at Longview, Wash, with
total capacity of $4,000 feet Other big mills in
the north are: Weyerhauser at Everett, Wash;
Shevlin- -Hixon, Bend, Ore, and the Bloedel-Dono-
mill at Bellingham, Wash.
The largest mill in the Inland Empire is that of
the Potlatch Forests, Inc. (Weyerhauser) Lewis
tor, Idaho This mill has capacity of 5000 feet
and ranks as one of the big mills of the world

\A/ITHOUT doubt, the lumber industry has con-
" tributed as much as has any single industry
to the growth and development of the West The
vast forests Of the Pacific Northwest were the
magnet which caused the early railroad builders
OF the North to push steel rails 1000 miles
of the great open spaces and across vast mountain
ranges to tap an almost virgin wilderness.
The development of Oregon and Washington to
date has been based almost entirely on their tim
ber resources, though such items as power and
water may play relatively larger part in the
future Their forests furnish the bulk of the freight
outbound, and nearly all the ocean tonnage to
foreign and domestic markets. Timber products
are the chief items in their foreign trade.
Census Bureau figures show that in 1929 timber
and related industries furnished 30.12 per cent of
the wage earners employed in California, Idaho,
Montana, Oregon and Washington industries and
paid 3OO7 per cent of the wages. The value of the
manufactured products 1455 per cent of the
total products of industry in these five states
These figures show that for value of the pro-
duction lumber and allied industries employ more
labor per dollar and pay more wages out of the
dollars received than almost any other of the
manufacturing industries either in the West in
the world. No other industry SO long a period
has brought in much local payroll as has lumber
and logging
NEXT to cattle-raisng, lumber is the oldest in
dustry on the Pacific Coast
When the first pioneers reached this Coast, they
found the most magnificent stands of virgin tim
ber on this continent and probably in the world.
One-fifth the area of California and more than
half that of Oregon and Washington was forest.

The next day the work Of repair
ing the boat was started. Thirty
feet long, six feet wide across the
center, the boat would be suffi-
cient for the II passengers, but
first they had to make great eff
fort to drag her on land.
The boat, which had been origi-
nally decked at the fore, was then
decked over two-thirds of its sur
face, thus assuring shelter against
bad weather which, in any case,
was not greatly to be feared dur
ing the second period of the sum-
mer season. The top-maSt of the

lions, was able to cut mizzen sail
from the extra sails, of the yacht,
as well as a spanker for the stern
and a flying-jib for the front.
This work lasted 80 days and
was not completed before January
8. The only thing to be done then
was to see to certain details Of
navigation. 1t was important that
the boat should be able to cross
the channels of the Magellanic
Archipelago and, if need be, to
make several hundred miles.

SECURITY TAX
SEEN CHECK ON
INITIATION

Direct taxes imposed by the So
cial Security act will provide the
Federal Government next year
with receipts equal to 4 per cent
of the payrolls subject to the tax.
When the direct taxes imposed by
the Social Security act reach
their minimum in 1949, the Fed.
eral Government will collect sum
equal to 9 per cent of payrolls SUP
ject to the tax.
It is evident that even in 1897,
the direct taxes collected by the
Federal Government under the SO.
cial Security act will amount to a
large sum. What will be the #.
feet of such taxation?
According to the Alexander
Hamilton Institute, if the money
received from these taxes next
year should all be paid out by the
Federal Government for unem.
ployment compensation and old.
age pensions, it would have neither
an inflationary nor deflationary
effect on the national income. Tha
only effect would be to change tbs
usual division of the national in.
come among various classes of peo-
pie. The unemployed and the old
would receive more than their
normal share while the employed
would receive less.
No Payments Till 1888
The Social Security act provides.
however, that no unemployment
compensation payments will be
made by the Federal Government
until January l, 1888, and that
no old-age pensions will be paid
until January l, 1912. Even after
January /, 1912, and for a long
time thereafter, the prospect is
that the Federal Governments in.
come from unemployment COM
penSation taxes and old-age pen
sion taxes will greatly exceed the
outgo for the purposes for which
the taxes are levied, the institute
said.
The effect of these taxes on the
national income for good mum.
ber Of years will thus depend on
how the Federal Government uses
the money received from these
taxes and not paid out for un.
employment compensation and
old-age pensions. If the Govern.
ment should invest this money in
outstanding Government bonds,
such action would be deflationarv
since the effect would be the same
as that OF reducing the debt. al.
though actually the debt would
remain unchanged. This is be-
cause a decrease in the amount
OF outstanding bonds would cause
a contraction in the quantity of
money available which is the es.
sence of deflation, it was pointed
out. The report added:
DEPENDS ON METHODS

issue and hold new bonds against
the money collected from the
Social Security Act taxes and
then spend the money on var.

started the investigation of Prince
Georges County, Md, policing meth
DDS, was expected to appear before
the grand jury in Upper Marlboro
today to summarize his findings as
the panel closes its inquiry.
Also scheduled for testimony were
three Capital motorists who have
claimed victimization through alleged

Jury to Make Report.
According to current indications,
the jury will probably make its re-
port tomorrow. The group has been
disbanded since Friday, when it ended
the third day of its special session.
States Attorney Alan Bowie and
Special Prosecutor Ogle Marbury, it
LIS understood, have already drafted
presentmenu papers which merely re-
uuire the jury foreman's signature to
become actual indictments.
This mornings session was to be
devoted to consideration of the re-
cent attempt to rob the Bank Of
Brandywine. Three Glen Burnie, Md,
youths are in the county Jail at
Upper Marlboro where they face
charges of robbery attempts. One of
the trio also is charged with assault
with intent to kill. Cashier William
T. Mcpherson. IS, Of T. B., was
wounded when he sounded the burg
larry alarm during the holdup.
Took Findings to Club.
Yebowitz began studying police rec
ords last Summer and subsequently
took his findings to the Keystone Au-
tonnobile Club. Attorneys of the club
then began collecting affidavitS from
sggrieved motorists. The grand jury
recommended the special session when
1t recessed on october 26, and Mar
bury was later appointed special pros
ecutor by Circuit Court Judge Joseph
c. Mattingly.
Eighteen witnesses have gone before
the jury. One of these was Walter
Newrath, Keystone attorney and audi
tor, who assisted in the analysis of
law enforcement records and court
papers on which the prosecutors have
built their documentary evidence.
