There must not be a foot of waste space. Any professional b{fllder can slap up a bngalow of four rooms. Bht will his arrangement of those four rooms conform to FHAS requirements? Will ttey be large enough? Will they have the required ,closet space and,window area? The design of the Xavier meets all these standards of FHA-- and also those of the National Adequate Wiring Bureau. It came from the drawing board Of Randolph Evans, A.'I.A., an outstanding dellger of small houses, He has the knack of making small houses look different. He gives them an individuality and distinction usually found oly in larger houses. The attraCtiVe exterior of the Xavier is achiev- ed by simple, straight-forward lines, by a single roof break and by the use of vertical sidin on the front combined with singles Or horizontal siding con the other three wails. For the sake of economy, the house is almost th perfect square. For the same reason the cellar is eliminated in favor of a ground level utility room.

The state's first sawmill was built at Flint in 1830, Hun- dreds of small mills rose in the tmrdwoods of Southern Michigan in the following decade. The white pine harvest tid not .tart in force until lfi50, By theft time many settlers were staking out homes on the treeless prai- ries--and making fences of thorn edges for lack of posts and rais. Old Fort Dearborn: by 1850, lind become Chicago the City. T, he riches of the black soil of Iowa, less sensational but more endur- ing than the gold of the Sierras, were well known in tle days of '49. The prairies wanted towns and homes, fences and barns. The pines of Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota were the main source of material. BEFORE THE Civil ,War the Saginaw valley was flourishing as the ll,mber capitol of the Mid- West.- By i880 the region was the world's greatest lumber cen- ter, with red or Norway pine be- ing sawed wiYh the "cork pine "L- the white.

I. Bill. In 1888 the rich pine valley of the Saginaw produced more than a billion feet of sawed lumber. That decade saw the entire state produce an average of three and ne-hglf billion feet of pine lum- ber per year. At Cheboygan a sawdust mountain, sixty feet high and covering ten acres, still survived in the early 1930's when I lived in Michigan. By 1890 the .pioneer image of "the inexhaustible forest" ws fading before the inexorable fact of millions of acres of fire-black- ened stump lands. The end was in sight. There was ..still, however 700 logging camps, employing 25,000 men. In 1910 there were ten camps, with crews totaling 500 men. A great epic of Ameri- can pioneer industry Was done. IT HAS BECOME the fashion to portray the lumberman of that era as a plunderer and destroyer of the forests. I violently dis- tgree. I lived in Michigan for two years, digging at old timber his- tory, mid what I dug up showed the .lumberman of the bonanza days in the Lake Stats simply as a man of his time, no better and no worse, on the average than other men. There was no public policy of conservation. The taX laws forced the lumberman to abaldon his logged lands, just as stupid laws in oregon and Washington re- tarded industrial forestry until ao30. New timbe crops grew every- whLre after logginlg. They were burned, mostly by settlers in land clearing. Popular prejudice and ignorance were far more to blame for the ruin of the pine lands bY fire than the 's0-called ruthlessness of the s0-called timber baron. Erasmus Hanson actually had to wage a fight ip,the Michigan leg- islature to GIVE :16,000 acres of forest land on a lake shore to the state f0r a ml,l.itary reserve.
