Jeffebson County. 

 This county stretches from Hood's Canal upon the east to the Pacific 

 Ocean. Its central portion, comprising three-fourths of it. lies within the 

 Olympic Mountains. Scattered here and there in this area there are con- 

 siderable timber in the below-timber-line districts, but on account of the 

 inaceessibleness of the district it is of no value at present for milling purposes. 

 Barring the mountain area, the county was formerly heavily forested, on the 

 west with cedar and spruce, on the east with fir. The timber in the eastern 

 part of the county has been largely destroyed either by ax or fire, mainly 

 the latter. The timber in the western part of the county is yet virgin, being 

 untouched by fire or ax. The most abundant species represented in this 

 county is the cedar.
