Adds Second Graduate Forester

Pointing up graphically the spread of scientific forest management through the Douglas fir region of Oregon and Washington is the announcement from Stewart Weiss, president of West Gate Lumber Company at Sweet Home, Oregon, of the addition of a second graduate forester to his staff.

The real significance hack of this appointment lies in the size of the company's operation and in the length of time Weiss has had a forestry program. West Gate Lumber Company is one of the medium sized sawmilling firms of the Willamette Valley. About three years ago Weiss decided he was going to set up a sound forestry program in his holdings in eastern Linn county and he hired Larry Marshall, who had been a forester with the West Coast Lumbermen's Association in Oregon.

So effective has been the work of Marshall in expanding sound forestry practices on a workable basis that Weiss decided to increase his work in that direction. His second forester, Otto Peters, is a graduate of Oregon State College in 1940. He has had seven years experience with some of the top lumber firms of the West. For several years he engaged in engineering, forest mapping and general forestry work for the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company at Mollala and more recently he was with the Hill Timber Company in Linn county.

Peters will work under Marshall and will be engaged in logging engineering, mapping and industrial forestry work for West Gate. There are now over 300 industrial foresters working in the Douglas fir lumber industry. In 1940 there were less than seventy.
