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.

woro covoied with corrugated iron. Tho heat was so intense that
it ignited tho wood back of tho corrugated iron and it was only with
difficulty extinguished. Tho fire-resisting qualities of Malthoid
