-'Much speculation . has prevailed as
: to' the-' relation between the annual
- prod action? of timber products and th
consumption of such material wltbia
-the states of Oregon and Waahtnirton.
Because of the 4 importance tit these
factors to the- tirober-oonsunrlng in-
duetrles and timber-owners of these
states, an exhaustive study was Inau
gurated by the forest service during;
1918 to ascertain as accurately as po
stble the extent to which standing
timber Is being consumed by the vari
ous industries relying upon the forests
" for, their raw material; also to deter
mine the extent and character of the
local demand for these products.
Statistics - were compiled. from t e-
- ports obtained from individual oper
. atora-dealers and purchasers of tim
ber products. ' Although the data were
r secured entirely by correspondence.
great care was taken in collecting- and
- complling'the figures, and, where pos-
slble, careful estimates were prepared
In order to make' the totals complete
. and th data serviceable as well as in
dicatire.
- Operators Co-operate Heartily.
: Because of the hearty cooperation
furnished by the various operators and
dealers, the present ' compilations on

than any", similar report previously
