Housing for lumber workers in the Tillamook County, Oretgon. In August of 1933 a forest fire in one week swept through 290,000 acres of woodland. This area is now being cleared and most of the partially burned trees are of commerical value. The future (after clearing is completed) is undecided--some factions desire reforestation; others believe that it can be adopted to some form of agriculture, probably cattle and sheep and goat raising
