ABERDEEN", Wash., Jan. 10. fSpe- lal.) All previous records for Grays Harbor's lumber output were smashed In 1917 when 120.500.000 worth of wood products were shipped from the county. The export of lumber totaled 1.100.000.- 000 feet. The value was $3,500,000 greater than that of any previous year and the shipments were 300,000.000 feet eavier. Rail shipments amounted to to5,800.- 100.000. estimating the value of the con tents of each car at $600. In tho year Zi.tTO cars were dispatched. The cargo shipments, approximately 293.lZa.00U feet, moved In 37$ vessels and were valued at $4,500,000. Mills Taxed e Capacity. Never have the Grays Harbor mills and camps enjoyed such prosperity as during the past 13 months. For the most part mills were taxed to their limit and during midsummer were forced to turn down many big orders. Camps had all they could do to produce enough logs for the mills. The record shipments of 1917 were made despite the fact Ahat most of the mills were closed (oyiwo months by strikes and that cars were frequently unobtainable and steamers far short of the demand for water tonnage. Boom timea for tha lumber industry will last for not less than five years, more probsbly for 10 or 15 years. Grays Harbor mlllmen predict. Aa long as the war lasts they expect to be kept busy with Government orders, especial ly In the cutting of spruce for airplanes and nr for shipyards. BaUdlng ta Be Resumed. When the war Is over the farmers and city folk, now kept from building by the limiting of shipments out of the timber districts for other than Govern ment use. will be able to resume build ing operations throughout the country. Then. too. there will be the rebuilding of Belgium and France, which will bring big orders to the Southern pine loggers and result In largely eliminat ing them from the domestic field. Onshore shipments t the Hawaiian Islands, Australia. New Zealand and South America ought to show great Improvement- . A shortage of tonnage has greatly hindered shipments to these countries. This is shown by the fact that less than one-third the vessels cleared Grays Harbor with lumber for offshore Pacific porta since the war that carried lumber there In ante-bellum days. the next few weeks under the direction of the library's extension service.
