PLATE i 
A general view of a representative portion of the Yacolt Bum of 1902, Columbia 
National Forest, looking southward from Lookout Mountain. The entire bum covers 
a total of 604,000 acres. Mount Hood is shown on the horizon 30 miles distant; the 
gorge of the Columbia River in the upper left comer. No green timber is in sight, 
yet there is reproduction growing among the snags over this entire area. Photo¬ 
graphed by Wemstedt, 1912.
