A CCUSTOMED to the dirty F tricks of nature, Washington State lumbermen are trying to assess their losses and start the clean up with the philosophic attitude that has helped them survive floods and hurricanes in the past and endure the wrath of the Mt. St. Helens volcano.

Within the 150 acre blast area. huge tracts of virgin timber and equipment lay tangled as if flung by a giant hand. It is estimated that $200 million worth of timber was vaporized or blown down in the direct blast. Possibly another $500 million worth will be salvagable when the area can be reached. Normally timber would survive the ravages of insects for a year and still be marketable. Some experts predict that the heavy cover of volcanic ash may help to retard insect damage. More accurate damage estimates are expected to be available in several weeks.

The loss of transportation and access to the area poses a formidable problem. More than 500 nriles of forest roads are believed to be destroyed with eight National Forest bridges wiped out. Some 6,000 nriles of highways are estimated to be in need of repair or clean-up at a cost of more than $100 million.
