Our Lumber Industry.


Pos7-rz.sss5iSs~-s~-%
The lumber Industry of Puget
Sound has reached a point of deyel-
opment which must command atten
ton There Will be cut in Washing
ton Territory, mainly within thirty
miles of this city, during the present
year, 5O0,000,000 feet of lumber This
product Is distributed, as nearly as
can be estimated, as follows:
Exports to California, 25O,000,00O
" foreign ports, S0,000,00G
Home consumption, l70,00G,0OO
This vast product represents III
round numbers a value on the
wharves ready for shipment or at To-
cal mills ready for shipment, of So
per thousand, OF an aggregate Of S.
100000, which is net revenue to the
Territory from this one industry.
The 330,000,OO0 feet exported re
quires the services of goodly mum
Der of vessels. Taking all classes of
craft on which lumber is exported the
b, average cargo Is about 500,OO0 feet,
which would make necessary the
shipment Of 600 cargoes. Another
and the most notable feature, one
which more than any other evidences
the rapid settlement OF the territory
adjacent to Puget Sound, and the
cities and villages situate thereon, Il
the item of home consumption. The
lumber for export Is mainly cut 10y
seven large mills on the Sound. That
for home consumption employs as
many as forty smaller ones, with d
daily output of from 25UO to 75,COU
feet, and an average of about l2,UjO.
These mills are constantly crowded
with orders. Builders are forced to
wait their turn, and there Is no eyi-
dence of falling off in the demand.
The amount of improvements this
large amount of lumber represents III
buildings of various classes, wharves,
sidewalks, railroad ties, etc, etc, IS
an evidence of prosperity conclusive
and incontrovertihle. Within the
city limits of Seattle there IS being
cut at this writing an average Of
10000 feet per day, and within thiT
ty days this capacity viii be increas'
ed to 100000 feet per day All this
lumber is used here, and the demand
is still greatly in advance of the sup
ply. The prospective magnitude OF
the lumber interest of Northwestern
Washington is at yet hardly realized,
It IS to be the most potent factor IN
the growth and production of perma
nent wealth to our people. From
