Redwood Park Assured

Probably the greatest single achievement yet anlounced by the Save the Redwoods League is the raising of a fund in excess of seven hundred fifty thousand dollars, with which it is expected it will be possible to save the Dyerville Flats and a portion of Bull Creek Flat. These groves. located at Dyerville, Humboldt County, near the northern limit of the present Humboldt State Redwood Park, are amohg the very finest in existence. The preservation of the Bull Creek and Dyerville Flats is essential to the proper rounding out of the first unit of the Humboldt State Redwood Park.

The League has reached a satisfactory basis for negotiations with the Paaific Lumber.Company, owners of these matchless tracts of redwoods, and through the mediation of Major David T. Mason, noted forestry expert, a plan is being worked out whereby these areas will be preserved for park purposes, with assurance that the owners will receivi a fiir-price for their timber and that the plan of preservation will involve the minimum inconvenience to the company in its logging operations.

Why Sell Redwood?

l^\NE of our good dealer friends in a recent letter jokingly V remarked that from his standpoint one of Redwood's big disadvantages is its permanence-its great durability makes replacements unnecessary. Nothing short of a cyclone will destroy Redwood. Fungus does not rot it and worms and insects leave it alone. It is a slow burner. Thoroughly painted, it looks well a long time. Even unpainted, it still resists decay. A Redwood house needs little repairing. But this dealer keeps right on ordering Redwood. He finds that telling these sad facts about Redwood to his custorners ddes not drive them away.

Sometimes he even ventures to remark that according to the U. S. Government Report entitled "Physical, Mechanical and Chemical Properties of Redwood" there isn't any other wood, either soft or hard, that averages as high on durab'tlity, lack of shr'inkage, strength as o bean or Post, ease of glueing, uorkability and ability to "stay put'"
