SAVING, AND MARKETING Of LUMBER

spite Of increased prices and the in
crease in the general volume Of ship
ments notwithstanding the decreased
production and stocks and the aug
mented values. The advances in price
have not been SO much the result Of ac-
ton upon the part Of the lumbermen as
Of constant pressure from buyers who
have so frequently bid above the mar
ket as to virtually force prices up.
The shipments Of lumber from Min
neapolis during the year amounted to
about 345, 100000 feet to 350,000,000
feet, or about the same as in 1904.
The receipts show. a slight decrease
in volume, which calls attention to a
condition which has been developing
for years.
This condition is simply that of the
gradual concentration in Minneapolis
of large part of the lumber business
Of the northwest establishment
here Of headquarters Offices for mills
at widely separated points, the cen
tralization Of brokerage business here,
the development Of a great lumber job
bling business with Offices here, the
establishment of big cline yard'' COM
panies doing business at numerous coun-
! try points, but with their main offices
in Minneapolis, and, finally, the loca-
tion here Of the agencies or eastern
| Offices of many of the large lumber
producers Of the Pacific northwest.
This concentration at Minneapolis in
it's earlier stages greatly increased the
receipts of lumber by rail, but later
the practice Of shipping direct from
outside mills to destination has tended
to decrease the receipts at the city rail
road terminals, altho the volume OF
| business handled thru Minneapolis of
fees, and financed here, is greater thar
ever. 49, 4s ~. ~sA:a~ ..,.s
The past year has seen a greater
development than ever of the business
of selling Pacific coast lumber in this
market. The gradual decrease in sup
ply of white pine, the rise in price, the
general good times creating large
demand and an Indifference to highe7
prices, the decrease Of freight rates
and the growing acquaintance of thu
consumer with the Pacific product al
these things have combined to bring
about large trade It is estimated
that the business of this city in Pacif
coast lumber is now running as high a.
thirty carloads day, or in the neigh
Il borhood Of 150,O00,0O0 feet year.
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1905-12-31

Fifteen years ago it was said that
the last of the pine trees of the Mime
sofa forests had been counted and mum
bered and tagged and that the days Of
Minneapolis as a numbering city were
destined to be few. In 1905 the city
was still the chief numbering point in
the world and thru changes in the gen
eral conditions surrounding the trade,
seemed likely to continue to be a great
lumber market as long as the commodi-
ty is produced.
The years 1899, 1900 and 1901 were
the elimination Of the saving industry.
They will never be surpassed. In 1904
the "cut'' dropped to 3S6,911 900 feet
and the lumber cut Of 1905 is but $685.
10000 feet. / AS two mills have al
ready been abandoned and another will
60 out Of commission before another
season it may be definitely concluded
that the lumber cut Of Minneapolis will
never be larger than at present. This
conclusion is entirely independent of
any facts relative to the supply of logs.
That the supply will gradually decrease
from now on, goes without saying, but
there will be lumber sawed at Mime
apolis for many years to come and
there is no immediate prospect of such
decrease in production as to force
Minneapolis out Of first place as a lum-
bering point.
The year 1905 was a peculiar one fol
| numbering operations. The mills
started in the spring with fair supply
of logs, which was speedily augmented
by large drive from above, but mid
: summer found the river at flood stage
and for some weeks saving was sus-
pended. This deprived the lumbermen
| of a section Of the best part of the sea-
son; but in turn this was somewhat
balanced by an exceptionally late fall
which made it possible to continue oper
ations until unusually late in the sea
son. So the cut which was expected tc
fall 60,000,00O feet short of 1904, fin
ally came within 25,OOO,OO0 feet of that
| year $ record. 81.
The production of lath was actually
increased by 5,00o,0oo. The year 1901
saw a production Of 53,552,O0O, while
1905 figured up 5s,399,0OO. On the
other hand the competition of Washing
ton shingles virtually killed off the
Minneapolis single production an6
against a2,oes, 900 in 1904, the 1905 to
tails only footed up 100000.
Another feature Of the year has beer
the immense demand for white pine il

that no such number of deaths had

There was prompt response yes

the emergency warranted it, the state
could be depended upon to do its
share towards furnishing means nee

emergency was here, and that the
states assistance had been pledged
to the government to assist in raising
the money desired.

HANGED HIM.
Sank Majors Was Strung Up by a
Mob at Waco.

Waco, Texas, Aug. Sank Majors,
the negro who on July II, made a
criminal assault on Mrs. B. Roberts,
who lives near Golindo. fifteen miles
from this place, was taken by mob
of approximately 1000 people from the
county jail here this morning and
hanged. Majors was hanged on the
Brazos river bridge on Washington
street.
The mob came from the Golindo
section, as far as can be learned. 1t
formed at the Jail at 1l:45 o'clock.
Everything worked as if moved by
clockwork.
: It was first the intention OF the MOB
to burn Majors on the public square
They were dissuaded from this, now
ever. The mob first broke down the
outer gate to the Jail. Then one by
one they welded batterinS rams I'M
I'll a total of five doors were smashed
in to get at Majors. The negro heard
the knocks against the doors OF steel
and retained a stolid attitude as the
mob hammered it's way toward nim
AT last the cell in which Majors was
confined was reached.
Majors was taken from his cell and
vigorously hustled ahead OF the ring
leaders.
Major jim Baker and Sheriff Geo
Tilley were overpowered. The moi
was too strong to be combated' Il
came for Majors life and it came
prepared to take that life,- even II Il
cost bloodshed.
The leaders of the mob preserved
nerfect discipline. After Majors Wa'
hanged to the bridge-he was sWuns
from the center bent-the mob dis
nersed. In twenty minutes the cit.
assumed its usual midnight stiffness
The crowd formed at the jail. Al
ter getting Majors it marched from
Sixth street to Austin; then to tn
city hall; then down Second street {

An oppressive stiffness and the trea
