The hewing of a yellow fir log, 60
? inches square and 90 feet in length at
Buckley recently excited considerable
commet. but the annals of the
lumber industry in Washington contains
many more remarkable incidents.
When President Taft was in the
Panama Canal ^one recently his attention
was called to several spud
sticks in the big dredges and he asked
where it was possible to obtain
such timbers. These sticks, each 46
by 40 inches and more than 90 feet
in length, the superintendent told
of him, were shipped from Bellingham
iy last summer.

forest of California. This tree

measures 104 feet 4 inches in cirily
cumference and it is more than 150
in- feet to the first limb, which is five
al feet in diameter.
On the west slope of the Cascade
mountains a giant red fir was recently
blown across the tracks of the Menhir
ern Pacifiic Railroad. Traffic was
blocked by the mosnter log, which
measured eight feet in thickness.
There was no saw within miles
?|. that was big enough to cut the timber.
and as the railroad company
could not wait the five days required
to saw the section from the huge log

tei bored holes and the aged tree blown
cst to splinters. It was easier to repair 10
( rods of roadbed than to saw through
eight feet of solid red fir.

In Clallam county according to
