Tribute , HAT in America is more fascinating, more wonderful, more valu- able than her forests? Each year our forests are hosts to thousands of visitors from all walks of life in search of that which cannot be found elsewhere. Hunters and fishermen take advantage of the recreation and pleasure afforded by the pursuit of wild game and fish, which abound in the forest and streams. Nature lovers, with an eye toward the beauty and grandeur of the tall, majestic trees, and students seeking their vastness and silence, which tend to lift their thoughts from material things to spiritual things, spend many a happy, restful hour in the cool shade of our beautiful forest wonderland. Our forests are valuable not only for their beauty. To them we go for the logs which are taken to the sawmills and made into lumber, which in turn is used to make beautiful and necessary articles, factories, business houses, beautiful homes and magnificent edifices. We of the Nehalem Valley are indeed fortunate in being so bountifully supplied by nature. We have a vast area of virgin fir timber, which will sup- ply our major industries, logging and lumbering, for years to come. THE EDITOR.
