INCREASE IN LUMBER
CUT AND THE REASON
j Oregon and Washington produce
more lumber than any other two
i states.
Figures of the lumber cut in 190
compiled by the Bureau of Ceoaos and
the Forest service showed the largest
total ever reported in the United
States, exeeediug by over 7 per ceut
the cut reported for lDOfi, ontil then
the record year. This does not neces
sarilv show a larger actual cat than in
j 1906, for the returns ohtaiued last year
were more complete than ever betcre.
The figures themselves disclose some
interesting facts.
In 1907, 29,850, mills made returns,
and their production was over forty
billion feet cf laniber. This is be
lieved to Include l8 per cent ot the
actual cnt.
In 190t!, 22.398 mills reported about
8 r, 500, COO, 000 feet. Since aocordiog
to thefe figures nearly 29 per cnt more
mills reported last year than the year
before, while the Increase in produc
tion was only a little over 7 per ceut,
it might be thought the amount act
ually manufactured mnst have been
greater In the earlier year. This
however, would be a too hasty in
ference, it Is almost wholly among
mills cf small individual output that
the anionut actually manufactured
mnst have been greater in the earlier
year. This, however, would be a too
hasty inference, for it is almost
wholly amoug mills of small Individ
ual output that the gain the number
of establishments reporting has been
made.
A classification of the returns by
statesand regions throws additional
light oo the situation. Individual
changes, as for example the retuakble
rise ot Texas from eighth to third
place among the lutnber-prodaciug
states, are doubtless accounted for
primarily by the greater accuracy of
the 1907 figures; bat in the majority
of cases the advances and declines
can be traced to speciOo influences.
Before the year closed the geueral
business depression was severely felt
in the lumber Industry. It was not,
however, tbe moat important cause of
falling off in the production ot the
year where a falling' off occurred. For
decline In production took place only
in certain regions. The South is the
region of greatest activity in lumber
production and yellow pine the most
important wood,, forming 83 per cent
of the entire cut of tbs country. The
cnt of yellow pine reported shows an
increase ot 13 .per ceut over that of
19u6. In the early part of the year
many of the southern mills cat so
heavily that, In spite of the curtailed
output which followed the business
diitorbance later, the total waa greater
than ever before. But . in both tbe
Lake states and tbe Northwest a
smaller cat was reported than the
number of mills reporting increased.
In the Lake states the falling off
evidenced the waning supply of white
pine. . Michigan, which for many
years led all the states in lomber pro
duction, and then gave way to Wis
consin, sank In 1907 from forth to
seventh place, while Wisconsin went
from third to fifth. Minnesota as late
as 1905 held fourth place. Last year
it went from seventh to ninth. It
was not until the latter 90 's that the
Sooth displaced this group of states as
the most improtant source of lumber
supply. Since Southern pine is
abundant in all tbe Atlantic states
from the Carolinas to Texas, the re
gion as a whole will doubtless main
tain It; leading position for some
years, lu spite ot the fact that at the
present tate the bulk of the timber
will be gone in another decade; but
in totals of production by individual
states tbe leaderahip baa since 1905
been held by Washington.
Tbe fig ores of production show that
during 1907 Washington fell off very
decidedly from its huge cut of 1906,
while Oregon is credited with a
slight increase in Its total. In the
early part of the vear Washlntgon
suffered from a car shortage and at
the end the combined effects of busi
ness disturbance and higher freight
rates had brought Jthe industry to
paralysis. Oregon kept op its cut be
cause of its larger proportion of
coastwise and) foreign trade. These
two states together prodooed mora
lumber than jany other two states in
the Union. It is a striking fact that
though '.lumber priors have been
steadily going up during the last half
century, tbe per 'capita consumption
of lumber has also been going op. In
1840, according to the bst figures ob
tainable, the averge oonromption to
each pel son in the country was'toO
feet" in"l900, 40 feet aiidJInlT,
480 feet. This illustrates whathas
been foand true the world over that
with industrial pi ogress the demand
for wood becomes greater and greater.

RELIEF CORPS ANL)
G. A. A. NEWS NOTES
Sou ihor r Oregon Encampment
Will Be Held at Jackson,
villa Nest Year.
The Wonians Rel'ef Corps held their
semi-monthly mestiug in their hall
on Front street Saturday afternoon,
September 12 A large membership
was present.
The reports of the various Relief
committees were most satisfactory.
each member taking a just pride in
her special work and last, but not
least, is the social honr snent at the
clofe of each corps meeting consisting
of a short literary program and re
freshments served by a prearranged
committee in alphabetical order.
The Southern Oregon encampment
O. A. R. held at Central Point last
week was well represented by tl'e
Posts and Corps of the Rogne River
Valley. The visiting G. A. R. from
Grants Past were Comrades Alveraon,
Holmau, Morris, Mott, Moore, Peter
son and Wade. From the W. R. C,
President W. R. C, President Mrs.
Gooilnow, S. Y., Mrs. A 1 verso n J.
V., Mrs. Morris, secretary, Mrs. Mary
Hildreth and Mrs. Moors. Tbe en
campment next year will be held at
Jacksonville, a unanimous invitation
having been seat by the business men
of Jacksonville to that effect
Last week at Toledo, Ohio, there as
semhled lu National oovention, the 43d
annnal enoampment of the Grand Army
veterans and the 2flth annual conven
tion, Woman's Relief Corps. It is
estimated there were fully 25,000
Civil War Veterans in Hue and what
a parade it wast Says the Toledo
Blade: "spectators looked on with
tear dimmed eyes at the broken ranks
of a once glorious army an army
oomposed of loyal sons of a dauntless
people an army of heroes with a
hero's soul in every eye and with
hearts fired with a heroes purpose.
Instead of the gallant host that In 1801
marched away to the beating of
drams and carrying the flag they
loved better than life, waa a body ot
old men, lame and halt, weak and
emaciated, bent with the weight of
years."
Nearly every state in tbe anion
was represented, 44 depattments being
in line. Many of the old men were
unable to complete the long four-hour
march with its continaous ovations,
and were foroed to drop ont, bat each
was tenderly oared for ' Some of the
more notable features or tbe U. A.
R. parade: "As the veterans passed
the High School, 120 girls, dressed in
white, strewed their path with
flowers, natures beautiful emblems
of love and peace. Befora this cere
mony, each of the marches had been
given a boutonnler by the young
ladies of the city as they formed in
line."
It was, however, when the parade
reached the junction of Collingwood
and Jefferson avennes that the most
inspiring sight of all met the gate of
the veterans, arranged in tie form of
a flag on a great elevated stand, were
3000 children in red, white and blue
to represent stripes and the blue field.
As the soldiers paaied the children
sang Freedom Triumphant and
nationl airs to the accompaniment of
deafening cheers from thousands of
throats. The sight was one of a life
time, never to be effaced from the
memory of those who were present.
The 43d annual encampment will be
held at Salt Lake City, next year.
The new Grand Army officers are:
Commander-in-chief J. Rent Hamil

morning of the parade the Woman's
Relief corps through its new national
secretary, Elizabeth Brown Daggett
of New York, accompanied by the
new national president Mary L.
Oilman of Maasachoretts peaented the
Grand Army of the Repuhllo with a
check for $1000 for its permanent
fund. Mr. Daggett was applauded to
the echo in her remarks which
showed that since tbe organization of
the Woman's Rleler Corps it had ex
pended over $3,200,000 In its work
that it has "a membership of 163,853
