Method of Selective
Logging Failure,
They Say

That the seieetive logging
method has failed on the timbered
Quinault Indian reservation was
voiced by two Indian witnesses
in testimony submitted late Tues
day and Wednesday In federal
district court.
The Indians are seeking 10 en-
join the federal government from
enforcing a regulation that re-
quires they employ the seleetive
system in logging their reservs-
ton land.
Douglas Yerkes. who said he
was the first one on the reserva-
ton to try selective logging after
the regulation went into effect in
1895. testified Wednesday. Yerkes
stated he was allowed 10 log about
40 per cent Of his timber.
Then Cane Wind
THE remaining 60 per cent" he
testified. soon died. and then the
wind blew them down"
Similar testimony was offered
Tuesday afternoon by Cleveland
Jackson, first witness. who has
been employed for the past rs
years as a timber cruiser.
The Indians want 10 use the
clear cut" system OF logging their
land. hewing down all marketable
trees as they 70. II was revealed
in testimony of both Yerkes and
Jackson that trees left standing
in the selective logging process
soon die and. then. are at the
mercy of the wind, which soon
blows them to the ground.
Known then as ''windshook, the
trees are no longer of commercial
value.
