OREGON AND WASHINGTON LEAD IN LUMBER CUT Washington, D. C. Sept. 7 Fig ures of the lumber cut in 1907 com piled by the bureau of the census and the forest service showed the largest total ever reported In the United States, exceeding by over 7 per cent the cut reported for 1906, until then the record year. This does not necessarily show a largei xctual cut than In 1906, for the re urns obtained Ian year were mon oniplete than ever before. The fig- ires themselves disclose some inter esting facts. In 1907, 28,830 mills made returns md thelT production was over 40 bil lon feet of lumber. This is believed o Include 95 per cent of the actual ut. In 1906, 22,398 mills reported ibout 37V2 billion feet. Since ac- ording to these figures nearly 29 )er cent more mills reported last fear than the year before, while the ncrease In production was only a lit- ie over 7 per cent, It might be bought that the amount actually nanufactured must have been great ir In the earlier year. This, how sver, would be a too hasty Inference or It Is almost wholly among mills f small Individual output that the ain in the number of establishments eportlng has bean made. A classification of the returns by itates and regions throws addltiona. Ight on the situation. Individual hanges, as for example the remark- ible rise of Texas from eighth tc bird place amo.ig the lumber-produc-ng states, are doubtless accounted or primarily by the greater accuracy f the 1907 figures; but in the ma orlty of cases the advances and de lines can be traced to specific in fluences. I Before the year closed the general business depression was severely felt n the lumber Industry. It was not, however, the most important cause 3f a falling off in the production oi -he year where a falling off oc- urred. For decline In production ook place only In certain regions Die South Is the region of greatest ictivlty in lumber production, ant ,'ellow pine the most Important ood, forming 33 per cent of the jntlre cut of the country. The cut )f yellow pine reported shows an ncrease of 13 per cent over that ol 1906. In the early part of the yeai many of the southern mills cut sc heavily that, In, spite of the curtail id output which followed the bus! tiess disturbance later, the total was greater than ever before. But in both the Lake states and the Northwest a smaller cut was reported than foi 1906, though the number of mills re porting Increased. In the Lake states the falling off evinced the waning supply of white pine. Michigan, which for many yeart led all the staler in lumber produc Mon, and then gave way to Wlscon iln, sank In 1907 from fourth to sev snth. place, while Wisconsin wen from third to fifth. Minnesota an late as 1905 held fourth place. Last year It went from seventh to ninth It was not until the later 90's that '.he South displaced this group o states as the most important source 3f lumber supply. Since southern pine Is abundant In all the Atlantic coast states from the Carolinas tc Texas, the region as a whole wll doubtless maintain Its leading posl tion,for some years, In spite of the fact that at the present rate the bulk of th timber will be gone In an other decade; but In totals of pro ductlon by Individual states the lead ershlp has since 1905 been held by Washington. The figures of production sho that during 1907 Washington fell ofl very decidedly from Its huge cut o 1906, while Its si -iter state Oregon Is credited with a slight Increase in iu total. In the early part of. the year Washington suffered from car shortage, and at the end the combined effects of business disturb anco and higher freight rates hat brought the Industry almost to paral ysls. Oregon kept up Its cut be cause of its larger proportion coastwise and foreign trade. These two states together produced more lumber than any other two statei in the Union.
