FOREST SERVICE. 



181 



The reduction in the demand for large bodies of timber and the 

 entry into the Army or Navy of many of the men who were pre- 

 viously engaged on the work prevented the continuation of timber 

 estimating work on the same scale as in previous years. During the 

 spring of 1918 the mefi who were available were concentrated on the 

 areas for which estimates were needed as the basis for determining 

 whether operations for urgently needed war material are possible. 

 For example, during the spring and summer of 1918 the only work of 

 this sort done in Washington and Oregon was on the west side of 

 the Olympic Forest, where good estimates of the areas bearing 

 spruce suitable for airplane lumber were necessary if the production 

 of this munition is to be handled to the best advantage. Similarly, 

 in the summer and fall of 1917 the work was largely concentrated on 

 areas in which operations for ship timbers, ties, mining timbers, and 

 pulpwood were anticipated. Several of these bodies of timber have 

 since been sold. 



The receipts from timber trespass were $2,329.85, and from timber 

 settlement $99,500.62. Details regarding the cut and sale of timber 

 and also regarding reforestation are embodied in the following
