facts.
In 1907, 25,850 'mills made re
turns, nnd their production was over
40 blU'on feet of lumber. This Is
believed to include. 95 por cent of
the .actual cut. In 190C, 22,398
mills reported about 37 V4 billion
foot. Since according to thcso figures
nearly 29 por cent moro mills re
ported last year thnn the year be
fore, while the Increase In produc
tion yns only a little over seven per
cent, It might be thought .thnt tho
amount actually manufactured must
have beon greater In tho cnrllor
year. This, however, would be a too
hasty. Inference, for It is nlmost
wholly among mills of small lndlvd
ualQutput that tho gain In tho num
bor of establishments reporting has
been'hiadc.
A classification of the returns by
states' and regions throws additional
light 'on tho situation. Individual
changes, ns, for examplo, tho ro-
markablo rise of Texao from eighth
to third place among tho lumber-
producing stntcs, are doubtless ac
counted for primarily by tho greater
accuracy of the 1907 figures; but In
tho majority of cases tho advances
nnd declines can bo traced 4o spe
cific Influences.
Before tho yenr closed tho gcnornl
business depression wnB severely felt
In the lumbr Industry. It was not,
howver1, the most Important cnuso of
n falling oft in tho production of tho
yenr where a falling off occurred,
For decline In production took place
only In certain regions. Tho south
la tho 'region of greatest activity In
lumber production, and yellow p'no
tho most Important wood, forming
33 per cent of tho entire cub of tho
couatry. Tho cut of yellow plno
roportjd shows an lucrcaso of 13
por cont over that of 1906. In tho
early part of tho year mnny qf tho
southern mills cut bo heavily thnt,
In spite of tho curtailed output
which followed tho business dis
turbance later, tho total was greater
than ovor boforo. But In both tho
Lake states and tho northwesft u
Binnller cut wns reported than for
1900, though the number of mills
reporting Increased.
In tho Lnko states the falling off
evidenced tho waning supply of
whlto plno. Michigan, which for
many years led all tho states In
lumber production, and then gave
way to Wisconsin, snnk In 1907
from fourth to seventh plnco, while
Wisconsin wont from third to fifth.
Minnesota as lato as 1905 held
fourth place. Last year It wont
from seventh to ninth. ft wns not
until tho latter '90s thnt tho no nth
displaced this group of states as the
most Important source of lumber
supply. Slnco southern plno Is
abundant In all the Atlantic const
states from tho Carollnns to Texas,
tho roglon as a whole will doubtless
maintain Its lending position for
some' years, in spite of tho fnct that
att tho present rate tho bulk of tho
timber will bo gono In nnothor dec
ado; but in totals of production by
individual stateB the leadership has
Blrjce 1005 been held by Washing

that during 1907 Washington fell of!
very decidely from Its huge cut of
1906, whllo Its sister state, Oregon,
