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.

Washington In First Place.
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 lumber, from Oregon, Washington
and California is steadily working .its
way eastward ayross the plains. The
Pacific Coast at present contains the
country's greatest eupply or virgin
lumber.
Jamaae la Value.
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

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.

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.

CHECK UP STEEL'S -BOND
Governor Chamberlain Will An
; bounce Findings This Week.
Governor Chamberlain expects early
this week to report on the sufficiency of
State Treasurer Steel's new bond for
$600,000. Since the filing of the bond by
Treasurer Steel, Governor Chamberlain
has been examining into the financial
standing of the different sureties and
the result of that examination will -not
be known until the list can be checked
over. Although Treasurer Steel was re
quired to furnish surety aggregating
$600,000, the amount .of the bonds sub-
mltted uru $633,000. .
-While admitting that the amount of the
bond that would be rejected as unsatis
factory was small. Governor Chamberlain
would not Intimate that the total would
exceed the excess of $35,000 In the surety
that has been furnished. Treasurer Steel
Is fully prepared to replace any part, of
