CLALLAM CouNTY. 
This county extends from the top of the Olympic Mountains north to 
the Strait of Fuca and from near Dungeness on that strait to a little to the 
south of LaPush on the Pacific coast, occupying a large area both to the 
north and to the west of the Olympics. The mountainous part of the county 
is not regarded as containing any timber of present merchantable value. 
The remainder of the county is heavily forested; but the ax has made in- 
roads in these forests along the shores of the Strait of Fuca as far west as 
Crescent Bay, and millions of feet of logs have been cut at Clallam Bay and 
in the Hoko district on the same side of the peninsula. In addition, fires 
have extended inland from these cuttings to the mountain districts, destroy- 
ing large areas of timber. The western part of the county is still in the 
virgin state. In this county hemlock and fir vie with each other in amount 
of merchantable log-lumber.
