Lumber and Industry
"The lumber Industry Is destined,
to provide for the Klamath region
the greatest source of revenue for
a number of years to come, and al
though it may be overtaken by agri
culture In its importance in this
commnulty, the time for this transi
tion is quite remote.
"The lumber Industry, providing1
as It does, some 15.000 cars of
lumber per year and 30.000 cars
of logs, gives the city a payroll of
some 7,000,000 to $9,000,000 peri
year, which Is constantly growing;
and as fully 70 per cent of the pay
roll Is spent In the community, the
Importance of this asset should be
recognized. The lumber Industry in
Ita purchases for Its own consump
tion spends fully 35 ner cent In the
city of Klamath Falls, which means
an aggregate of $600,000 per year,
which means practically $100.00 for
