HOOKER PLANT
AMONG LARGEST

Located on the tideflats in Ia
coma is a concern which is con-
sidered one of the largest pro-
ducers of electrolytic caustic soda,
chlorine and chlorine products in
the world.
The concern is the Hooker
Electrochemical CO. With its
docks on the deep waters of
Puget Sound it is pointed to as
an outstanding example of IND s.
trial architecture and efficiency.
From Tacoma the Hooker Elec-
trochemical Co. ships liquid caustic
soda in bulk by tank steamer to
California. There the firm main
tains batteries of transit tanks at
both Wilmington and Oakland.
Hooker chlorine products have
found a ready market in the Pa
cific Northwest with the extensive
pulp industry which consumes
large amounts of liquid chlorine
for bleaching Hooker cauStic
soda has a wide market for both
domestic and foreign use, being
necessary in large variety Of
commercial operations. Muriatic
acid is extensively used in eastern
Washington, Oregon and Idaho as
a wash to remove spray residue
from apples, peaches and other
fruit.

PROTECTION OF
timber GROWS
Big Development In
This Line Since
Start in 1908
BY c. s. COwAN
Chief Fire Warden Washington
Forest Fire Assn.

Forest protection in Wash
ington had its beginnings in
1908. From that time on
wards, it has steadily grown
and steadily improved, as ex-
perience developed knowledge.
At the present time, the state
and allied forest protective
associations have developed a
system of roads. trails, tele-
phone lines and lookouts that
practically blankets the forest
land areas.
OF late years this development
has been greatly augmented by
the addition of the Civilian Con-
servation Corps efforts.
However. long before the advent
Of the CCC. it was recognized that
true forestry would depend upon
the amount of intelligently direct
ed effort which looked to the pro-
lection of cut-over lands. II was
here that the new crops must
terminate and grow to merchant
ability, and II was therefore upon
such lands that the major effort
had to be made.
Forests Mixed
Western Washington. with its
mixed forests of Douglas fir, cedar,
hemlock, spruce and the Balsom
frs. did not offer any terrain upon
which blanket rules could be
adopted. All Western Washington.
at some time in its history, had
been visited by ravishing forest
fires. After logging the mature
crops, a heavy residue Of debris
hlanketed the ground. Methods of
slash burning were perforce adopt
ed. following which the cut-over
land had to be protected from fire.
Where seed trees were reasonably
near and where subsequent fires
have been kept out. the resulting
second growth stands as the best
testimonial as to the efficacy of
such measures.
II must be definitely recognized
that any of the related but vital
sciences Of forestry, such as par
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1939-02-08

ticularly silviculture, or the grow
ing of trees, depends in the fullest
measure upon the plain, everyday
fact that fire prevention and sup
preston is the first and paramount
step.
Granting this, knowing that the
act of harvesting the tree crop is
exactly similar to the harvesting
of a grain or hay crop, in that IT
prepares for a subsequent harvest,
what are the reasons which have
not allowed us to take the fullest
advantage of our natural condi-
tons which in the past have inev-
itably led to forest re-establish-
ment on burned over areas?
Fire LOSS Heavy
Look at the record for Western
Washington. The year 1888 saw a
total of over 1000 fires, of which
500 were caused by recreation
seekers. 400 by land clearers. $50
by incendiaries and 40 by loggers.
Fifteen hundred and fifty fires
caused by the general public. The
acreage covered by these fires
amounted to more than one hun
bred thousand acres. These acres
were cut lover restocking lands,
the lands on which there is de-
cided public interest The future
of forestry obviously depends upon
public cooperation.
The forest protection agencies of
the state are so developed that
fires are detected early. The sup
preston forces are equipped with
the most modern equipment to
fight fires after they start, but no
amount Of well directed fire sup

which could be heard block and
