How Long is Fire-Killed Timber Com
mercially ValuableT
Washington, D. C, July 16. How
long will timber remain commercially
valuable after It has been swept over
by a forest fire.? Timber land owners
as well as the federal government are
much interested in obtaining this in
formation, and the government has
just begun an investigation of a large
number of fire areas in Oregon and
Washington in order to determine if
possible, the length of time which will
elapse after a forest fire before the
timber deteriorates to such a condi
tion as to decrease its commercial
value.
The agencies which cause timber to
decay and encourage the attack of
wood borers are undoubtedly In
fluenced to a greater or less degree by
the intensity of the original fire and
the climate conditions and altitude of
of the burned areas.
All the information in connection
with this Investigation will be optain
ed first hand by the forest service,
either from government timber land,
or from private holdings where log
ging operations are under way.
I In this connection the forest service
has also undertaken an investigation
to determine the relative strength of
green and lire-killed timber. The ma
terial which Is to be tested is being
sawed at the mill of the Eastern and
Western Lumber Company of Port
land, Oregon, where it will be surfaced
to exact sizes and then transported
to Seattle, where tests will be made
in connection with the forest service
exhibit at the A. Y. P. exposition.
The fire killed trees which are to
yield material for these tests were se
lected by representatives of the for
est service on the holdings of the
Clarke County Timber Company of
Portland, Oregon, near Yacolt, Wash
ington. This timber was burned over
seven years ago and represents fairly
well, the average of burned timber
found in the Pacific Northwest. The
logs which vary from three to four feet
in diameter, were sawed into thirty
two foot lengths. These are being
manufactured into sixteen foot joists
and bridge stringers.
The results of these tests are being
anticipated with great interest by for
est service engineers and by the lum
bermen of the Northwest, because they
are expected to disapprove the opin
ion generally held regarding the
strength of fire killed timber.

TAFT CHOSEN BY

Is to "Open the Grip" at the Interstate
Fair at Spokane on Septem

Spokane, Wash., July 16. Presi
dent Taft has been chosen by the
traveling salesmen of the Pacific
Northwest to "open the grip" at the
interstate fair in Spokane the week
of September 20, when he will be
their guest. This ceremony is to
take the place of pressing a golden
button. The invitation was extended
by Congressman Miles Poindexter of
Spokane, and W. P. Edris, chairman
of the executive committee of the
traveling men's club and postmaster
elect of this city, has received ad

committee, headed b David T. Ham,
and officers of the Spokane chamber
of commerce and the one hundred and
fifty thousand club are arranging for
the President's visit, and from the
plans already made it may be taken
that the chief executive will know
when he reaches the heart of the In
land Empire. It was expected that
President Taft would attend the 17th
sessions of the National Irrigation
Congress in Spokane, August 9 to 14,
but as he will not start on his west
ern trip until September 15, the
earlier visit is out, of question. It is
likely there will be more neonle
j from various parts of the northwest
gathered together in Spokane during
' the President's stay than have ever
i been here on anv nthpr occasion, nnf
excepting former President Roose
velt's visit, several years ago.
2.500,000 SALE
OF TIMBER
Capitalist Buying Back the Identical
Lands He Sold at Profit Two
Years Ago.
Spokane, Wash., July 16. Two and
a quarter million dollars is involved
In a sale of standing timber on the
St. Joe and St. Maries rivers in
northern Idaho, where the Blackwell
Lumber Company, headed by F. A.
Blackwell of Spokane, president of
the Idaho & Washington Northern
Railway Company, has acquired 30,
000 acres of white pine and other
woods from the Menasha Woodenware
Company of Wisconsin. It is esti
mated by cruisers that there is 600,
000,000 feet of saw timber on the land.
Charles R. Smith, president of the
selling company, began buying stump
age in the district seven years ago,
paying 50 cents a thousand feet until
four years ago, when the price ad
vanced to $1. He Is now selling his
holding at $:.75 a thousand feet. It
is interesting to note that the Black
well concern is rebuying timber tracts
in the district in which Mr. Blackwell
disposed of his holding in the Mon
arch ompany, two years ago. The
timber is for the mill at Coeur d'Alene,
Idaho, which has a cutting capacity
of 35,000,000 feet a year.
