They have to depend for a living on cedar posts, railroad ties, and stave bolts and that timber is now pretty well depleted- it is about all gone and if we can't get something in there I am afraid that all activities will have to stop. If we don't have something else to take the place of timber and other resources that are now gone, we are going to be in the same shape that grandma was in when grandpa got his monkey glands."[3]
