MICHIGAN PAYS THE PIPER
Portland, Ore.. July 22.—Com
menting on forest destruction by fire
District Forester Geo. H. Cecil cit
ies the situation in which Michigan
now finds herself. From a State
whose forest wealth wus consider
ed Inexhaustible she is reduced
largely to a producer of fuel wood
and other minor forest products—all
because of Indifference to fires,
wasteful cutting, and lack of refore
station. In other words, Michigan Is
now paying the piper for twenty
five years ruthlessness, indifference,
and lack of forest foresight.
The building trades and the auto
mobile and furniture Industries of
Michigan must largely Import their
supply of high-grade lumber from
other states Instead of growing it at
home.
For the most costly classes of
woods, such as those used for au
tomobiles, furniture, and building.
Michigan goes as far south as the
Gulf and as far west as the Pacific;
she Imports all told a little more
than a billion board feet of lumber
and timber annually, of which 400
million come from the Gulf coast
region and nearly ISO million feet
from the Pacific northwest. For those
amounts the state pays not only an
enormous freight bill but also the
high prices incident to constantly
dwindling forests.
The reforestation of Michigan's
denuded lands would after a few
decades, say fores', experts, not
merely stop these costly Importa
tions, but go far toward reestablish
ing the tate's lost leadership in her
once greatest industry—lumbering—
and put it upon a permanent basis.
LITTLE PROGRESS
IX OKVFM.IWiKXT
Judge James Wickersham return
ed on the steamer Admiral \Vat»on
Thursday from a visit to Fairbanks
and intervening coast points. On Ills
return from the interior to Seward
he left for Cold Bay to Investigate
couditions in the oil belt but on ar
riving at Kodiak he found a numbor
of men with whom he had business
and it was not necessary for him to
go further.
At Kodiak Judge Wickersham met
several representatives of the con
cerns that contemplated starting op
[ erations in the Cold Bay field and
| from them he learned that it is very
| doubtful if anything is done this
year further than preparing for ac
tivity next year. If Is posslbel that
machinery for drilling may b eland
ed this year by one and. possibly,
two companies, but active opera
tions are not likely to be carried on
before next year, the climatic con
ditions not being favorable to win
ter work.
Those with whom the judge talked
who had been in the oil field were
| all confident that it will provo to be
[ a producer.
