PLATE 4 
A. —Reproduction in a 1902 bum of the Cowlitz area, about 10 chains from the 
nearest seed trees. White-pine seed trees are nearly % mile distant and are 800 feet 
below this area. Species shown are white pine (left), Douglas fir (center), noble fir 
(right). The stand on this slope is uniformly open, but will be sufficient ultimately 
to develop a satisfactory forest. 
B. —Results of a 1910 fire following a 1902 bum. A practically denuded area. 
The reproduction which followed the fire had not reached seeding age when it was 
destroyed by the second fire. Note the dead young stand killed in 1910. Photo¬ 
graphed in Rainier National Forest, July, 1914, on Cowlitz area.
