In q speech at recent banquet. at Du-
luth, President Hill, of the Great Northern
road, outlined plan for making Duluth
the great distributing point for Pacific
coast lumber. saying:
/ think I am substantially correct in saving
that 1000, zoe 900 feet 10 just about the annual
cut O! Mich gau Wisconsin aud Minnesota, and
that the entire state OF Minnesota contains less
than three years supply Of standing timber. At
that rate that would be about $1,000 900 feet;
that 10. about three times the annual cut Of the
states just nsrned.
have cut the trees that now stand? Every
lumberman will bear mo out in saying that,
substantially, every tree II counted and every
foot estimated. When this IL gone. you may
hear from us away over on the Pacific coast,
bringing Goals to Newcastle, bringing lumber to
Duluth. within the past fifteen months, along
the line OF our railway, along the shore of Puget
Bound. thes have put up shingie mills that
manufacture cedar shingles that are the best
that have ever seen, and when they
come in competition with your pine shingles,

the cut of the three states mentioned, IL would
mean 900 year. or .700 600 feet day for
90 days In the year. 1t will DO your fault il it
IL not done. There In no reason in the world
why the lumber that 10 now handled at Tona-
