La quantita di legname che questo stato possiede e qualcosa di straordinario. Gli alberi, comeche di proporzioni piu che rispettabili (alcuni raggiungono due metri di diametro e molti superano il metro), non sono cosi grandi come i giganti della California di cui vidi all’Espozisione di Chicago un esemplare di 8 metri di diametro, ma pero sono alti (molti raggiungono i 25 metri prima d’assottigliarsi sensibilmente), diritti e forniscono un ottimo legname da costruzione. Ma quello che e piu sorprendente e la quantita di questi alberi. La ferrovia passa per miglia e miglia in una strada praticata nella viva foresta e gli alberi sono cosi fitti che non ci si puo vedere attraverso.
The quantity of timber that this state has is something extraordinary. The trees, even though they are of more than respectable proportion (some reach two meters in diameter and most more than a meter), they aren’t as big as the gigantic trees that live in California like the 8 meter diameter one that we saw at the Chicago Exposition, but they are tall (most reach 25 meters before they thin considerably) and straight and provide excellent timber for construction. But the thing that is most surprising is the quantity of these trees. The rails pass by miles and miles in a stretch through the live forest and the trees are so thick that you can’t see across.
