DEMAND FOR LUMBER
China Will Want Large Quantities
 From the Pacific Coast

Consul Henry B. Miller at Much wang, reports to the state department as follows:
 "I am convinced that the future demand in China for Pacific coast lumber will be both extensive and permanent. For more than thousand miles up the great valley of the Yang tse there is practically no timber in sight. The plains,. hills and noun. tains are absolutely bare of forestry except where here and there few trees have been carefully preserved"
 The consul then reviews the sources and needs for timber at length. It appears that the manufacture of collins consumes more wood than any other purpose in China. Ships come next.
