THE FESTIVE CLAM
WHEN THE DOCTORS DISAGREE,
WHO SHALE DECIDE?
Do or Do Not the Clams Require Pro
tection? This Question is Now of
General Interest Because of the
Trick Played on the Legislature
by Clam George.
Since the enactment of the four months
close seison for clams by the late un
lamented legislature, the wisdom or
otherwise of tlie measure has been pietty
generally discussed, and so far we huve
not heaid from a disinterested person of
experience that protection is at all re
quired ; on the contrary, those with eutli
cieiit experience in the matter to war
rant an intelligent opinion, say either
that no protection is necessary, or that
it would require expert study to deter
mine.
The following letter, published in Mon
day's Washingtonian, is in direct line
with all the information the writer has
been able to obtain from what are con
bideied the best authorities in the state:
Editor Washingtonian:—May I add a
word to the discussion of the clam ? 1
am in no way interested in the clam
business. What I know by experience
I will say, and invite criticism. The
habit of the razor clam is very little
known. lhe clam cleanses himself
every month regularly. Sometimes
oftener. To prove this we would call
your attention to the yellow spurm you
see at times an the ocean crest, and
wherever you see it you ci>n lest assured
that a clam bed is in that vicinity. The
clam digger knows this is tiue.
The clam migrates up and down the
beach to better feeding ground, hence
people think because they do not find
them in the same place they are dug
out. Having witnessed this migration
I ill describe it as I saw it. The clams
go in tchools, at the least noise of your
boat they sink to the bottom. The same
power they use to get out of sight in the
sand they use in migration to propel
tliein through the water, but their prog
ress is slow.
Ihe clam seems to breo 1 in June or
July, and you will find the young, but
one-eighth of an inch long, about the
first of September. The clam seeks
protection from the digger, if he is pur
sued much, by keeping more in deep
uater. Nature protected the clam mote
than any law can. At low tide you can
din them, at heap tides you cannot dig
them, as there is too much water on the
beach to locate them.
The Portland market has been sup
plied from Clatsop beach for the last 30
years. There aie 5,000 or 0.000 people
living there during the summer. Every
body, male and female, dig the c'atn, for
it is the.r best enjoyment. Ttiough they
have 110 protecting law yet the clam is
as plentiful as ever. Before the Colum
bia jetty was built the fresh water
backed up on Clata >p beach and no
clams could be found within six or seven
miles of the mouth of the river. After
the jetty was built on the Oregon side,
it threw the fresh water on to Long
beach, hence the clam moved out. But
two years ago the clam came back again
to the old beach, nut in large numbers,
but very sweet little fellows to eat. I
can assign no reason for this only the
fresh water from the Columbia river
changed its course or the sea neutralized
it. The six or seven miles spoken of be
ing invaded by fresh water on or near
the jetty is now the most piolitic clam
producing part of the Clatsop beach.
They are putting up more clams wheie
Mr. Halfirty left at Warrington than
ever he put up. This is not wnlten in
anybody's interest.

Squatters May Make Proot.
Surveys have been completed and plats
were tiled last week in the Olympia land
olliee of parts of two townships in the
Olympic forest reserve. These are town
ships 2'2, ranges 7 and 8 west. An ag
gregate of about 10,000 acres have been
surveyed and platted, the balance being
extremely mountainous.
The plats indicate ttiat a number of
squatters are living on the lands. If the
settlers located there before March 1,
XS!)8, they will be entitled to either per
fect proof or relinquished their lands and
have the right to take other lands out
side the reserve. Protests will be filed
against must if not all of the squatters
by the special agents of the department.

TIMBER RESOURCES
AN EASTERN ESTIMATE OF TIMBER
IN NORTHWESTERN STATES.
The Mississippi Valley ,Lumberman
Figures on Standing Timber in
Washington, Oregon, Idaho and
Western Montana. Ac tual Amount
Usually Exceeds Estimates.
In geneial it can be said that the esti
mated amount of standing timber has
usually fallen short of the actualamount.
There are seveial reasons fur this. One
is that estimators are inclined to be con
set vative and place their ligures on the
safe side. Another is that before the
timber is cut away, the increased num
ber of feet due to the increment uf growth
has thrown the calculations out; anil
still another is that in different parts of
the country estimates are based on differ
ent measurements. As a usual thing
estimates are made on the basis of the
size of the trees that are considered met
chantable. A number of years ago the
pine forests of Minnesota and other
states of the middle north were not cut
as closely as they are at present and
estimates were based on a greater diame
ter of the tree than at present. In the
far west where there is but a compara
tively limited market for the lower
trades of stock, the estimates are based
on a certain percentage of the tree a«
j well as on a greater diameter than far-
J tlier east. If there were a maiket for
the lower grade stock that could be cut
from many of the logs that are now
wasted, the figures would be materially
greater than those given out.
From the best authority available,
which includes government estimators,
the forester of the department of agricul
ture and private estimates made bv lum
bermen who have hud much experience
in the woods, it appears that the present
standing timber in the state of Washing
ton couid be put down as amounting to
anywhere from 175 lo 200 billion feet.
In the latter part of 1002, after a careful
canvass of the state, the government
report gave an estimate of about 19(1
billion feet for Washington. Of this
amount 21 billion feet was east of the
Cascade range of mountains. tim
ber of Washington, as estimated by the
western authorities, which gave the total
at 175 billion feet, was divided into
about 00 billion of red fir, 41 billion
hemlock, 23 billion cedar, 13 billion yel
low pine and eight billion spruce.
It has probably been possible to come
more nearly to the correct figures of the
state of Washington than of Oiegon,
Montana or Idaho, tor the reason that
the nulk of the timber of Washington is
located in a comparatively narrow strip
between the summit of the Cascades and
the Pacific ocean, and has been exploited
to a greater extent than the timber of
the other three states. Two years ago
It. A. Long, of Kansas City, in an ad
dress on stumpage before the Southern
Lumber Manufacturers' association,
summed up the amount of standing tim
ber in the United States after a careful
research and reference to all availatle
authority. He placed the standing tim
ber of Oregon at that time at about 250
bilion feet, consisting of 170 billion ltd
fir, 50 billion yellow pine, and the bal*
ance divided about equally among sprucf,
hemlock and cedar.
Although the timber resources ot
Idaho and western Montana are com
paratively small, they are also compara
tively little known. It is only within
the past few years that the manufacture
of lumber has become an important in
dustry in that section of the country.
Since then the development has been
rapid, but there is yet a considerable
amount of government timber in these
two states, a great deal of which is tit
present inaccessible and which will re
main so for some years to come. The
government estimate placed tiie amount
of standing timber in Washington east
of the Uabcadcd in lUO— ut about 21
billion feet. The bulk of this is in the
eastern part of the state in what is
known as the Inland Empire. Northern
and western I laho and western Montana
are also included under this head, and
without anything very definite to go on,
and judging from the comparative area
covered by t'mber, it is probable that
the amount standing in northern Idaho
and wistern Montana is about the same
as in eastern Washington. This means
a total of about 2t) to 23 billion feet,
which is probablv under rather than
over the actual stand of timber, l-ast
year the mills of Washington manufac
tured about two and one-fourth billion
feet of lumber. The cut of the Oregon
mills was in fie neighborhood of 800
million; Idaho mills cut about 140
million and the mills of Montana about
195 million feet.
