Newspaper Page TextTHE DAILY COOS BAY TIMES. MARSHFIELD, OREGON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1908. 1 INCREASE IN LAST YEAR'S LUMBER GUI A! REASON U. S. CENSUS BUREAU ISSUES BULLETIN CONTAINING INTER ESTING FACTS CONCERNING LUMBER BUSINESS. WASHINGTON, Oct. 8. Figures of the lumber cut in 1907 compiled by the Bureau of the Census and tiro Forest Service showed the largest to tal ever reported In the United Sta tes, exceeding by over seven per cent the cut reported for 190C, until then tho record year. This does not ne cessarily show a larger actual cut than In 190C, for the returns obtain ed last year wero more complete than over before. The figures themselves disclose some interesting facts. In 1907, 28,850 mills made re turns, and their production was over 40 billion feet of lumber. This is be lieved to Include 95 per cent of the actual cut. In 190G, 22,398 mills re ported about 37 billion feet. Since according to these figures nearly 29 per cent more mills reported last year than tho year before, while the increase in production was only a little over seven per cent, It might be thought that the amount actually manufactured must have been great er in tho earlier year. This, how ever, would be a too hasty Inference, for it is almost wholly among mills of small individual output that the gain in tho number of establishments roportlng has been made. A classification of the returns by states and regions throws additional h light on the situation. Individual changes, as for example the remark able rise of Texas from eighth to third place among the lumber-producing states, are doubtless accounted for primarily by the greater accuracy of the 1907 figures; but in the major ity of cases the advances and declines can bo traced to specific influences. Before the year closed the general business depression was severely felt in the lumber industry. It was not, however, tho most Important cause of a feeling off in tho production of tho year where a falling off occurred. For decline in production took place only in certain regions. Tho south ' is tho region of greatest activity in lumber production, and yellow pine tho most Important wood, forming 33 per cent of the entire cut of the coun try. Tho cut of yellow pino reported shows an increase of 13 per cent over that of 190C. In tho early part of tho year many of tho southern mills cut so heavily that, In spite of the curtailed output which followed tho business disturbance later, tho total was greater than over before. But In both tho lake states and tho north west a smaller cut was reported than for 1900, though tho number of mills roportlng increased. In the lake states tho falling off ovldenced tho waning supply of white pino. Michigan, which for many years led all tho states in lumber production, and then gave way to Wisconsin, sank in 1907 from fourth to seventh place, while Wisconsin went from third to fifth. Minnesota as lato as 1905 held fourth place. Last year it went from soventh to ninth. It was not until tho latter 90's that tho south displaced this group of states as tho most impor tant source of lumber supply. Sinco southern pino is abundant in all tho Atlantic coast states from tho Caro lines to Texas, tho region as a whole will doubtless maintain its leading position for some years, in spito of tho fact that at tho piesont rato tho bulk of tho timber will bo gone in another decade; but In totals of pro duction by Individual states tho lead ership has siuco 1900 been held by Washington. Tho figures of production show thnt dining 1907 Washington fell off very decidedly from Its huge cut of 190G, whllo its sister state Oiegon, is credited with a blight increaso in its totnl. In tho early part of tho year Washington suffered fiom a car shortago, and at tho end tho com bined effects of business disturbance and higher freight rates had brought tho industry almost to paralysis. Oregon kept up its cut becauso of its inigor proportion of coastwiso and forolgn ttade. Theso two states to gether produced moro lumber than any othor two states in tho Unlont It is a striking fact that though lumhor prices have boon steadily go ing up during tho last half-coutury, tho per cnplta consumption of lumhor has nlso boon going up. In 1S50, ac cording to tho best figures ' obtain able, tho avorago consumption to ench person In the country was 250 feot, in 1900, 460 feot, and In 1907, 480 feet. This Illustrates what has boon found true the world over thnt with Industrial progress tho demand for wood becomes greater and groat-or.
