The major holdings of timber
land grew out of the Northern
Pacific land grant. To start with
te railroad received each odd
numbered section in a strip ex-
tending 40 miles on each side of
the railroad, which land passed
over to the Northern Pacific land
company when the railroad went
into receivership in 1893. Many
settlers had taken claims on these
sections and resisted any effort
to dispossess them. To protect
the settlers congress passed rem
edial legislation authorizing the
company, in such cases, to select
other lands in lieu of tracts
which had been settled on prior
to 1885. The attorneys for the
railroad succeeded in getting this
legislation to read that lieu lands
might be selected from any state
through which their road ran,
and by virtue of this they acquir-
ed thousands of acres, in solid

BY 1897 when the Northern
Pacific was reorganized it was
under the control of James J.
Hill, who lived neighbor to Frank
Weyerhauser in st. Paul. About
1900 Mr.. Hill made a deal with
Mr.. Weyerhauser whereby the
latter purchased a million and a
half acres of Northern Pacific
timber lands and organized the
Weyerhauser Timber company,
with offices at Tacoma. The larg-
est single tract in this holding
was some $4,000 arces along the
Cowlitz river. The timber empire
of the Weyerhausers, of which
this was the nucleus, soon spread
all over the Pacific Northwest
including Snoqualmie valley land

klamath Falls region in Oregon,
the Boise-Payette region of south
ern Idaho, the Clearwater region
of central Idaho and immense
holdings in the white pine forests

Still another bill went through
congress in 1899 which opened
timber land to private owner

provided that upon the filing by
the Northern Pacific of a proper
deed to the United States, relin-
gushing the mountain area to the
United States, the company was
entitled to select approximately
$40, 900 acres of good timber land
at lower elevations.
High lead logging was begun
on Puget Sound in 1896 and other
chronological improvements soon
came into use which made pos
sible the harvest of these great
virgin forests at a rate never be-
fore dreamed of. Development
of the plywood process came
along at the same time, and the
manufacture of forest products
was soon our number one indus

Oregon streams were pretty well
depleted and the industry was
gradually moving northward. The
Columbia river, however, still
harbored the most important fish
cries.
In 1903 the "iron chink" was
patented by E. S. Smith. The
machine butchered and cleaned
the fish-the work formerly done
largly by Chinese and hence the
name. Such a machine turned out
from 60 to IS salmon a minute,
thereby greatly reducing labor
costs and increasing profits.
About the same time motor boats
replaced scows for fishing. The
whole program was stepped up
to such a scale that the industry
was faced with the threat Of de-
pletion and in self-defense was
forced to undertake a comprehen-
sive plan of conservation.

Historical Backgrounds

By Margaret Thompson

later, in 1894, the Western Iron
and Steel company was incorpor-
ated to operate a small mill fol-
rolling iron merchant bar at
Lakeview, a short distance south
of Tacoma. The latter was not
a success and was later merged
with a small mill at Seattle and
incorporated as the Seattle Steel
company. The smelter eventual
ly passed into the hands of the
American Smelling and Refining
company and today refines one
twelfth of the worlds copper.
Projects About Puget Sound
A project of historical interest,
even though it failed, was re-
sponsible for the founding of the
town of Kirkland on the east
shore of Lake Washington. This
was named for Peter Kirk, an
English millionaire interested in
iron ore near Snoqualmie Pass in

ested with him were the owners
OF the Denny and other proper
ties along the line of a railroad
which was expected to be built
through the pass. In 1888 they
Incorporated the Moss Bay Iron
and Steel Company of America,
capitalized at 5 million dollars,
with Peter Kirk as president. The
company failed and was succeed
ed in 1890 by the Great Western
Iron & Steel company Differed
by Seattle men. However, this
failed also, without having con-
structed the proposed steel plant.
Another early project was To-
Gated at 1rondale near Port Town.
send, where the Puget Sound
Iron company put in q blast fur
mace to make pig iron of the bog
iron to be found in the vicinity.
When the ore proved too limited
in quantity, the company acquir-
ed a magnesite deposit on the
west coast Of Texada Island,
British Columbia. Principal stock
holders in this company were
Californians interested in the
lumber business and steamship
triffic between Puget Sound and
San Francisco; Pope and Talbot,
the big lumber. firm at Port Gam
bic, who were in a position to
furnish lumber for the charcoal
needed, and local Port Townsend
men. The company was reorgan-
lied in 1901 as the Pacific Steel
company.
Shipbuildina
In Everett an impetus to ship
building came in the 1905 when
the American Steel & Barge Co.
began making the unique whale
back barges. These, however,
proved unseaworthy and opera
tons were discontinued. Anoth-
er Everett concern, the Sumner
Iron Works, in 1900, launched the
Telegraph, fastest sternwheeler
afloat at that time.
The Alaska. trade needed many
ships and greatly stimulated ship
building. Robert Moran, later to
achieve distinction as builder of
the battleship Nebraska, in 1895
with is brothers Peter and Will
liam formed the Moran Brothers
corporation and began construct
ing ships for the Alaska run and
for the government at Bremerton
Navy Yard. Some of the iron
which they used came from the
plant at Irondale. In 1902 the
Morans began work on the Ne
braSka which was launched Oct
ober Z, 1904.
At the height of his popularity
Robert Moran was elected mayor
of Seattle and it was during his
administration that the city water
system was initiated.
The Alaska trade led also to
the manufacture Of many other
articles camp equipment, mach
inery, stoves, furniture and cloth
ing, in addition to processed foods.
By 1897 the flow of goods to
Alaska was valued at nearly four
million dollars and most Of this
left from the ports of Portland
and Seattle. Early in the game
Portland made a stupendous ef-
fort to- capture the trade but
gradually lost ground to Seattle,
which ad the more favorable To-
cation.
laundering
The big lumber mills which
have been a spectacular institu-
ton of the Pafific Northwest for
the past quarter of century did
not get into operation until after
1900. But during the 1905 the
saw-mill operators of the Great
Lakes states were busy acquiring
the timber lands which were lat
er to be logged. Early operations

PAN-AMERICA:
Defense Plan

In asking congress to authorize
U. S. training, organization and
equipment of South American coun-
tries, President Truman declared
that such aid would enable them to
participate in hemisphere security
as envisaged in the charter of
Chapultepec. AS the strongest PAN
American nation, it is natural for
the U. S. to assume defensive lead
ership, he said. =,
AS precedent for close u. S. and
Pan American military relations,
Mr.. Truman pointed out that this
country has collaborated with other
hemisphere republics for several
years within the framework of the
good neighbor policy. Military and
naval training missions have been
sent south. of the border and linn
tied supplies were lend-leased dur
ing the war.
Implementation of the program
would not result in an arms race
or materially increase the level Of
armaments in South America since
this country would not countenance
uncontrolled distribution of mu-
nitions, the President said.

BLACK MARKETS.:
Huge Profits

Indicative Of the huge profits be-
ing made in the black market, the
Chicago district collector Of inter-
nal revenue disclosed that approx
mately four million dollars in de-
linquent income taxes have been
paid by black marketeers since
March IS. Payments of two illegal
operators totaled one million dol
lars each.
Because the treasury is con-
cerned with the collection Of taxes
that are due rather than in the le-
gality of the source of income, black
marketeers may escape prosecution
if the revenue bureau has not
opened investigation of their cases.
Meanwhile, reports from WASH
ington, D. c., indicated that the de-
partment of justice plans an all-out
attack on the black market, with
Att. Gen. Tom Clark holding that
the best means of throttling ille-
gal operators is by mailing them on
tax evasions. At the same time, OPA
has doubled its enforcement staff
to $50 and is receiving FBI aid in
assaulting the black market in
meat. ~--s--

enemy countries, worked feverish-
ly on Italian and Balkan problems
in an attempt to avert a deadlock
which would further aggravate the
economic disorganization of the con-
tinent.
While there were indications
when the foreign ministers first met
that the troublesome question of
Trieste would be settled between
Italy and Jugoslavia along racial
lines, Molotov of Russia baked at
the proposal. In seeking to have the
strategic port and its surrounding
area turned over to Soviet-spon-
sored Tito of Yugoslavia, Molotov
offered to halve Russian repara-
ton claims against Italy and re-
linquish demands for trusteeship
over Tripolitania in North Africa
astride Britain's Mediterranean
lifeline.
Quick to reject Molotov's offer,
the U. S. and Britain asserted no
Italian government could sign a
peace treaty giving away predom-
inantly Italian Trieste, and Russia
possessed no title to Tripolitania
and could not consider the colony
as its own for bartering.

FRANCE:
To the Right

Though greatly strengthened by
Frances rejection of the proposed
new constitution supported by the
leftists, the rightist Popular Repub-
lcan Movement (MRP) pledged to
remain in the coalition govern
ment so that the country's repre-
sentatives at the foreign ministers
meeting in Paris would enjoy united
backing in the diplomatic negotia-
tions.
The popular vote on the constitu-
tional issue came at time when
French delegates to the Paris con-
ference pressed their claims to
parts of the Italian border and de-
manded an arrangement for con-
trolling the vital Ruhr and Rhine
land to prevent the rebirth of Ger
man militarism and threat of future
aggression.
AS result of the rejection Of the
proposed constitution, elections will
have to be held June 2 for the Sc
lection of another constituent as
sembly to frame a new charter.
