chase pine poles stand highest. bringing
during the year 1905 1888 each. This ex-
cess in the valuation at point OF pur-
chase Is due. however. entirely to the
greater proportion Of large pine poles as
compared with other kinds.
There Is q vast difference, too, in the
value OF round poles and those that have
to be sawed to make them square: the
round variety brought on an average of
1898. while the others reached the mark
Of S422.
In the pole industry it is found that
cedar and chestnut are the principal trees
cut to supply the demand for round poles
and that pine and redwood are the chief
variety sent to be sawed. The bureau
Of forestry gives as a reason for this
differentiation in the varieties the fact
that in the case Of the pine poles the
sap wood decays rapidly. and when that
Is removed by saving the pole Is longer
use of the redwood for square poles Is
that it Is seldom a tree of this variety Is
found small enough for a rounu pole.
The regions Of supply Of the two prin-
cipal pole timbers-cedar and chestnut
are fairly well defined and are extremely
limited. The present source of supply Of
cedar poles in the United States is con-
fined almost entirely to the lake states,

cedar poles are shipped to practically
every state in the Union.
And an even narrower territory COM
prises the source of supply of chestnut.
Almost all of these poles are drawn from
the forests of Pennsylvania, Maryland
Virginia and West Virginia, and cypress
poles are drawn mostly from the gulf
states. Juniper poles come from Virginia,
the Carolinas and other south Atlantic
states. Redwood comes wholly from Cali

This phase of the industry localizes the

Atlantic states. and on the Pacific coast
