Synopsis
Excerpt from Wilkeson's Notes on Puget Sound: Being Extracts From Notes by Samuel Wilkeson on a Reconnoissance of the Proposed Route of the Northern Pacific Railroad Made in the Summer of 1869
Mr. M. H. Frost, member of the Washington Territorial Legislature from Snohomish county, in a letter upon the products of his district now before me, says The amount of timber per acre differs very much, varying from fifty thousand to two hundred thousand feet per acre of fir. The cedar timber remaining will yield from twenty thousand to sixty thousand feet per acre. It is superior to the best of pine for shingles, tubs, and pails, and only inferior to it for doors, sash, blinds, and finishing lumber. I think it safe to estimate the vacant land in Snohomish county at acres, that will yield eighty thousand feet per acre, leaving the farming lands on the river-bottoms out of the ques tion. I do not include in this estimate the mountainous portion of the county, which in many places is clothed with a heavy growth of fir and cedar, which in time will be brought down the rivers.
