From this it will be seen the Commission is going into fine details in its inventory of the natural resources of the country. Seven thousand lumbermen have been asked for their opinion as to the waste of lumber in saw mills, and more than two thousand lumber dealers and coop erage, veneer, furniture, box, vehicle and implement manufacturers have been asked to point out striking feat- ures of was.e in their respective lines, Yet all this is only one part of the news q .
