1904 LUMBER CUT
IS 400 MILLION !
ESTIMATE SHOWS DECREASE
COMPARED WITH LAST YEAR.
Cloquet's Cut, on the Other Hand, Is
Increasing and That Place Is Due to
Gain a Peramennt Lead Over Mime
apolis- Winter Saving, Increases the
Output.

Cloquet takes from Minneapolis this
season the title Of greatest lumber-pro-
ducing point in the world. This honor
it will retain, as Minneapolis production
will fall off annually while the industry
at Cloquet will grow. Restricted log
ging operations above Minneapolis will
make the cut still smaller next season,
infancy. With the y addition of the
Brooks-Scanlon mill at Cloquet-an
enormous factory-the Cloquet saws are
about equivalent to those of Minneapo-
lis. The palm was taken this season
| by Cloquet, because one mill sawed all
winter, something no Minneapolis mill
has ever done. With almost equal saw
ing capacity at present, the slight adj
vantage of all-the-year cut threw the
balance to the, northern Minnesota
town. - ; 1871 - go
The estimated 1904 lumber cut of
Minneapolis is 4OO,0OO,OOO feet. Last
year the record was 442 100000. The
difference is due to the failure of two
mills to get logs down as rapidly as re,
quired and to the fact that one OF the
mills sawed days only this year. Wheth:
er the estimate Of 4O0,OOO,OOO feet will
be exceeded depends on the length OF
20. Logs enough are here and on the
way to keep the mills going until the
river freezes, altho not 50 many have
been received by rail as last year
Minneapolis reached the high-watel
mark in the lumber industry in 1895
when the record was 600,OOO,000 feet
In 1900 it was 100000, zoos. in 1901
5s000o,OOO; in 1902, 100000 fee
and in 1908, 100000, 900. -
Cloquet now has six mills. Two be
long, to the Cloquet company, two o.
the Northern company, one to the John
SON Wentworth company and the new
one to Brooks-Scanlon. Winter saving
is possible to Cloquet, but not to Min
neapolis. In the lake supplying thu
mills are several hotboxes warmed by
exhaust steam, which keep the logs free
