Overview

Excerpt from Utilisation, Vol. 1 In addition to lumber, lath and shingles, Idaho's forests furnish large quantities of poles, piling and posts, mine timbers, hewed ties and other forms of forest products not reported by the cen sus or included in subsequent statistics of this report. Northern Idaho is one of the largest pole producing regions of the country, and Western red cedar poles produced here are distributed through out the United States. The longest poles of the country are obtainable in this region. The principal woods of the state, namely, West ern yellow pine and Western white pine, are em ployed in greater quantities than other woods by secondary wood consuming industries operating within the state. The species of timber on National Forests are practically the same as those on private lands. Western yellow pine, white pine, Douglas fir, larch, spruce and lodgepole form the bulk of the stands of timber. Owing to the absence of hard woods, no substitutes from the National Forests are available to replace the species already in use. The timber on the National Forests is sold wherever it is old and mature under regular con tracts in which the operator removes the timber as he pays for it at a stipulated price per thou sand feet, determined upon competitive bidding. Detailed information can be obtained through any authorized forest officer. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
