Lumber and Timber

Bulletin n, just published by the bureau
of the census. contains a statistical re-
port on lumber and timber products by
Jasper f. Whelchel, expert chief of the
division OF manufactures, and an article
on the timber regions OF the United States
by Henry Gannett. geographer OF the
United States geological survey The
bulletin was prepared under the super
vision of William M. Steuart, chief statis-
tician for manufactures.
Lumber and timber products. as defined
by the bureau of census. are manufacture
ed in three classes OF establishments-log-
ging or timber camps. sawmills and plan
ing mills
The figures given for the lumber and
timber industry as whole show that
1927 establishments. with a combined
capital OF $ol7.224 12S, were manufacturing
lumber and timber products at the census
of 1905. These establishments employed
on the average of 404.66 wage-earners,
and they paid s1S3,02l ,5l9 in wages. con-
sumed materials costing slSs,7ss,2l0, and
manufactured products valued at $780,
022. $50.
The six leading states In the industry.
with the value of products manufactured
in each. were. in 1906: Washington, %9,-
572.5l2; Wisconsin, $H, ,395, 766: Michigan,
$40, 569, 1886; Louisiana, $S5, 92,374; Minnesota,
sS3, lSS, 800; and Pennsylvania. $3l,642 800.
Throughout the country the value OF log
value per thousand feet, board measure,
for the United States increased from s2.1S
in 1900 to 81 80 in 1906, a rise OF Al cents, or
1SS per cent. This advance in the cost of
stumpage added S1l, 1l5 TO the total cost
Of sawmil material and Increased the
value OF lumber proportionately. The in
crease is due not so much to a present
shortage in the supply of lumber material
In the country as a whole as to the fact
that the available supply OF log Stumpage
is rapidly being bought up and withdrawn
from the market
Practically all species OF merchantable
timber have increased in stumpage value.
The increased value of log stumpage is
reflected in the increased value OF the
products of the lumber camps.
At the census of 1905 the number OF saw
mills reported was 1927. and their COM
bined capital was $3s1,621,1 ,1A. They fur
nished employment on the average TO
223.64 wage-earners, paid $l00,3lo.S9 in
wages, consumed materials costing s263
s65. l0l, and manufactured products to the
value Of s491 .524.662.
In this industry Wisconsin ranked first
according to the value of products
The increase in the average value of all
lumber was from s11.14 per thousand feet
in 1900 to $1276 at the census of 1905, or
14.5 per cent The advance extended to all
species OF both conifers and hard woods,
and in the case OF several OF them was
large.
The number of planning mills reported in
1906 was 1856. and their combined capital
was s222 294.lsi. They employed 1872 030
wage earners, paid s66. 40 in wages.
consumed nAterials costing s279, 276.3 3Sl. and
manufactured products valued at $404,-
$50, DO.
In the value of products in this industry
New York ranked first.
