INCREASING VALUE OF TIMBER
Hardwood Stumpage, Once Worthless
Now Brings Large Sums.

The high price white pine and hard
wood stumpage is commanding today
throughout the Northwestern timber
growing states calls out some interest
ing figures showing gradual and
steady increase in prices during the
last 20 years. In the lower peninsula
of Michigan in 1870, white pine lands
sold readily at from s1.25 to s1.5O AN
acre for the choicest tracts located
within easy hauling distance of navi-
gable streams. In Minnesota, Wiscon-
sin and the upper peninsula pine lands
sold on a different basis. the ruling
prices being from 25 cents to 20 cents
thousand feet. Today white pine
sells from $40 to s25 a thousand feet
in Michigan and from IS to S15 thou-
sand in Minnesota and Wisconsin,
In the early days of pine numbering
in both the upper and lower peninsulas
of Michigan. hard woods of all kinds
excepting oak and cherry, were re-
garded as worthless. Cherry lumber
was sold in Buffalo and Chicago mar
kets at a fair price to the furniture
manufacturers, and the best grades OF
white oak found a desultory market
at the lake shipyards, where it was
used as planking in the building OF
lake schooners and steam vessels. Elm

woods of the Michigan timber belt,

chandise and were left by the early
lumbermen as not being worth, the

which proved to be a most valuable
timber for this purpose. From this

Der.
Fifteen years ago Michigan was the
largest exporter of square timber in
the United States. Millions of feet of
rock elm and white pine were cut in
the forests there and shipped by boat
to the st. Lawrence river. where it
was RATED through to Montreal and
landed on ocean freighters for the
Clyde and Liverpool, there to be used
in shipbuilding. This foreign trade is
now a thing of the past, and where
there were over so firms in this state
Is years ago engaged in the export
timber business, there remains today
but one man who still sends Michigan
lumber to England. Thomas Denton OF
Saginaw, who was one of the pioneers
in the foreign trade, is still a shipper
of elm and pine to English ports. How
ever, it is with considerable difficulty
that he is able each year to secure
enough timber to supply even a small
portion of his trade, and his operations
now cover the entire state, where a
few years ago he secured most of the
timber on the Cass and Saginaw
rivers.
Experienced lumbermen say that
tracts of pure white pine are hard tC
