the detection and fighting of forest fires, also a complete dispaly of 

 fire prevention signs, posters, trail signs, pictures and educational 

 literature loaned through the courtesy of Mr. E. T. Allen, of the 

 Western Forestry and Conservation Association, and the Forest Ser- 

 vice offices in Portland and Seattle. 



On the second floor a rest room was fitted up for the convenience 

 of weary travelers. Here were to be seen exhibits of forest products, 

 specimens of woods of North and South America, cones and seeds 

 of coniferous trees, and sections of timber illustrating the advantages 

 of different methods used in treating wood with creosote. Permanent 

 working models of the North Bend and MacFarlane logging systems

 Logging Scene at the Foresters' Exhibit 



were exhibited to illustrate the respective advantages of different 

 methods of logging. 



The large auditorium downstairs had been transformed into an 

 extensive forest area, interrupted here and there by a complete log- 

 ging and milling operation. The shriek of engine whistles, the hiss 

 of escaping steam, and the buzz of saws cutting through logs and 

 shingle bolts added local color to the scene. This exhibit showed a 

 forest under scientific management and operated on a sixty year ro- 

 tation plan in order to maintain a continuous yield. By means of 

 all the latest fire detection equipment such as lookout stations, helio- 

 graphs, and portable telephones, the forest fire which burned at the 

 base of a snow capped mountain was quickly detected and reported 

 to the ranger station located in the valley. 



Actual logging operations were being carried on in the oldest 

 age class by means of a minature Lidgerwood "Flying Machine," 

 furnished by the Lidgerwood Mfg. Co., and a working model of a 

 Washington "High Lead Donkey," which was loaned for the occa- 

 sion by the Union Machinery and Supply Co. All operations of the 

 high lead donkey were regulated by means of an electrically control- 

 ed "Toots-E" steam whistle supplied by the Lovested Sales Com-
