WASHINGTON LEADS ALL Has Outstripped Wisconsin as the Banner Lumber State Oregon Advances to Tenth Coast Is Sow the lieading Producer. OREGON IA N" NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington. Jan.. 11. The lumber cut of the United States for the calendar year, 1906, la estimated to have been 40,000,000.000 feet, representing a total value of approxi mately $700,000,000. These figures are -not absolutely correct, but represent the clos est estimate that can be made by the government authorities, after gathering data from 22,398 mills and securing ad ditional data from lumber manufacturers associations. A report on the lumber cut of 19CW has been issued by the Department of Agriculture, though much of the data was gathered by the Census Office and Forest Service. The above figures in clude not only the cut o mills which re ported, but the estimated cut" of mills from which no returns could toe obtained. The reported cut of the 32,398 mills was .17. 550. 736.000 feet, with a mill value of $621.ir.1.38S. the largest quantity ever re ported for single year, and by far the greatest value. ' In addition there were manufactured 11.858.260.000 shingles valued at S24.154.ri55, and 3,S12,W(7,000 lath, valued at $U.4!0.oT. Yellow Pine Still Leads. Worn the report it is seen that yellow pine is still far in the lead as a lumber producer, as it has been for many years. "White pine, which .was second until a year or two ago, is now third, and has been supplanted by Douglas fir, which was fifth In ' Oak has dropped from third to fifth place. Spruce remains sixth.

Since IS&9. the first yedr for which detailed, figures upon the cut of individual species are available, there have been decided changes in the rank of the most Important lumber-producing species. In that same period there has been a great change in the position of lumber-producing states. Seven years ago 'Wisconsin, led: in' 1006, first place had been captured by Washington. Oregon, which Is now tenth place, was down in. twenty-third place in 1S09. Thero has been a greater growth in the lumber industry in Wash ington than In a'ny other state, a gain of 201 per cent in the past seven years; In ' Oregon the gain has been 118 per cent, and in Idaho, where the aggregate output la comparatively small, the percentage of gain since amounts to 541 per cent The following table gives the lumber cut of the leading states in thousands of feet in 1S99 and 1S06: 1S09 M. feet.

Oregon In 1906 furnished 4.3 per cent of the total lumber supply of the country, and Idaho 1.1 "per cent. The great lumber-producing centers moved first from the pine and spruce forests of ,w Kngland westward through New York and Pennsylvania lo the white pine region of the lake States, and swung' southward to the yellow pine belt.

As indicating the Increase' in value of lumber, the department -includes in its report a table showing lumber prices (mill values) in 1899, as com pared with prices in 1906. From this table the following extracts are made: Average value per M. 1890. 1006. , Yellow pine : $ 8.4S $15.03 rtouglas flr 8.67 14.20, White pine 12. 18.32 Hemlock 9.98 15.31 Oak 13.78 21.76 spruce 11.27 17.33 Western pine 9.70 ' . 14.01 Cedar. .' 10.91 18.12 Cut oC Each Species. The report then takes up the vari ous species, showing the cut in the principal states where each variety la . worked In large quantities. The Doug las fir cut of 1906 was valued at over $70,000,000. The cut of Douglas fir in Washington In 1906 amounted to 3,405, 510.000 feet. valued at $48,841,166, while the cut In Oregon, amounted to 1.347,467,000 feet, valued at $18,869,690. The cut of Douglas fir In. 1906 . was 186.2 per cent greater than In 1899, while the value increased 370 percent. The average mill values of this lumber reported from Washington and Oregon were, respectively, $14.34 and $14.00. Comparatively little white pine was cut in the Northwest, the bulk of it coming from Idaho. In 1906 Idaho produced 84.- 314.000 feet, representing a total value of $1,326,532. In the same year 2,415,000 feet were cut in Washington, the value being $391,441. No white pine was cut In Ore gon. The State of Washington, where a few years ago practically no hemlock was cut. reported a cut of 90,000,000 feet last year, valued at $1,100,470. This was only) 2.5 per cent of the total cut, but the department finds that this species of Western hemlock is superior in some respects to that of the East, and it is probable its output will soon Increase considerably. There has been a striking increase In the value of hemlock lumber, . due to the scarcity of other timber, and to a realization of the fact that hemlock is really useful for many purposes. Spruce White Pine and Cedar. Over 14 per cent of the spruce cut In 1906 came from Washington; Oregon pro duced nearly 5 per cent- . The total spruce cut in Washington was 243.493,000 feet valued at $3,557,335, while the Oregon cut, 78.652,000 feet, was valued at $1,188,638. The cut of spruce In Washington is rapidly increasing and was nearly three times as much in 1906 as In 1899. . California led in the production of "western pine." Washington stood second on the list, producing 265.820,000 feet, valued at $3,377,417, while Oregon's out put was 131,460.000 feet: value, $1,603,909. Idaho stood next to Washington, cutting 210,305.000 feet, valued at $3,081,870.. More than 66 per cent of the cedar cut last year came from the forests of Wash ington, In exact figures the cut was 236, 648.000 feet, valued at $4,415,064. Idaho, with the next largest cut, produced 27, 736,000 feet, representing a money value of $346,321, while Oregon, fourth on the list, cut 20.481,000 feet, valued at $329,119. Almost all of the larch or Western tamarack'is cut In the Pacific Northwest, the largest producer being Montana. Idaho, in second place, cut 39,576,000 feet, valued at $465,137; Washington cut 31. 249.000 feet, value, $368,958, and "Oregon 8,766,000 feet, value, $49,034. Great Shingle Production. Only recently has the white fir been cut to any extent for lumber. Nearly two-thirds of the white fir cut last year was in California. While not so valuable as Douglas fir. the white fir is useful for various purposes, and increased pro duction Is predicted. Idaho last year cut over 10.000.000 feet, valued at $136,735, and Washington more than S.000.000 feet, valued at a little more than $100,000. In 1S06 the shingle production in the United States reached the total of nearly 12,000.000,000. representing a cash value tit close to $25,000,000. Nearly 75 per cent of the total number of shingles cut were cedar and of this total, 61.5 per cent came from Washington that is 61.5 per cent of the total output. This In spite of the fact that the shingle cut in Wash ington was below that of 1905. In exact figures. Washington in 1906 produced 7, 2S6.50S.000 shingles, valued at $13,834,016. In the same year Washington produced 479,187.000 laths valued at $1,028,307. Ore gon cut 156.973,000 laths valued at $338,636. Traffic Manager Coining. . J. G.

BEGIN COURSE NEXT FALL Bfoard of Education Selects Loca tion In the Factory District Vhere Regular Attendance Is Kap idly Diminishing. 1 The Atkinson School building, at Eleventh and Couch streets, has been selected as the location of the proposed trades school. It is. expected that the Board of Education at its regular meeting tomorrow afternoon will con firm this choice. Other features in con nection with the new industrial insti tution, will be discussed, and it is be lieved that much will be accomplished toward outlining the details for the enterprise. Another feature in connection with the trades school that is practically certain Is that it 'cannot be opened until next .pan. city Superintendent Rtgler is authority for this statement, and gives as- a reason the fact that It takes a long time to properly equip such an institution. It had been said in some of the re cent meetings of the Council commit tees that the school property Is for sale and that it would likely be sold because of the large falling off in at tendance owing to the shifting of the residence district. It now develops that the School Board intends to take advantage of this situation to secure room for-the trades school. "The details of the trades school have not been worked out." said Mr. Rlgler. "About all that Is definitely known is that it will be located in the Atkinson School building, and tnat It will not be opened until next Fall. The Atkin son building has been thought the best place to install the school, because the attendance in the regular studies is becoming small. This gives room for the trades school." There are a great many things to be considered in the Installation of the trades school, a feature which is en tirely new in Portland. The. trades that are to be taught, how best to teach them and the selection of teach ers are among the most important items. It is likely that printing, plumbing, plastering, bricklaying and a faw of the other trades will be taught, and while It is thought proba ble that the teachers for these trades may be secured In Portland, it is likely that the principal of the school will be engaged from some other city. It is said that the electrical workers' trade is -becoming very popular and that' this will be one of the branches taught is regarded as certain. All of the industrial schools are said to have developed the fact that there is a great need for this comparatively new fea ture, as it Is said by many that the ap prentice system, so long In vogue In the various trades, does not produce sufficient skilled workmen to supply the demand. The teaching of these trades in special schools, therefore, is regarded by educators as one of the greatest advances in modern times, and In Portland Is expected to be of great benefit. The history of trades "schools is such as to show that it is practically neces sary to have a day and night session. Many who work at night, attend the day session, and many whose. work oc cupies their time during the day make use of the night school, so that both sessions are crowded. One of the first items to be attended to is the selection of supplies that -will be required for the teaching of the various trades. . These will have to be ordered as quickly as possible and then the work of Installing them and of equipping the rooms will be in order. Crossed the Plains in 1852.' CENTRALIA. Wash., Jan. 11.
