They will average approximately 1 1 percent higher in Western Washington over those in effect in 1975, and five percent higher in Eastern Washington. -Stumpage valuations were lowered over those proposed in November in order to adjust variations between stumpage value areas and harvest types in Western Washington, and to reflect differences in management and logging costs between the public and private timber sales used by the department in computing valuations. The 1976 stumpage values show a general decline ranging from 16 percent to 39 percent for the major species in Eastern and Western Washington. The decrease in stumpage values reflects two factors: the weakening of stumpage markets in the past year, and the addition for the first time of a significant number of private timber sales in the data base. The values are based on an Despite a decline in harvest volume, the taxable value of trees logged on privately-owned timber lands in the first half of 1975 increased 13.6 percent, the State Department of Revenue announced this week. Timber harvests totaling 1.77 billion board feet had a taxable first-half value of $270.5 million in 1975, while a taxable value of $238.1 million was placed on 1.96 billion board feet harvested in the same period of 1974. Mason County had a harvest of 30,015 million board feet with a taxable value of $3,861,200 and a tax assessed of $250,978.

An increase in harvest tax assessments of 117 percent from $8.1 million to $17.6 million primarily was caused by a change in state excise rates. The first-half 1974 harvest was taxed at a rate of 3.4 percent, the 1975 harvest at 6.5 percent of taxable value. Forest land and stumpage valuations for 1976 were adopted Olympic National Forest maps are ava,lable Free maps of the Olympic National Forest are going the way of the penny postcard and the good five-cent cigar. Wynne Maule, Supervisor of the Olympic National Forest, said this week that as of January 1, 1976, forest maps will bear a 50-cent price tag. Rising costs are blamed. Under the present free map system, the cost of maps comes from the same funds used to maintain campgrounds. This "bleeds off" dollars critically needed to keep campgrounds properly maintained, Maule said.
