Greatest Lumber Cut

| more lumber was cut in the United
States last year than in any other year
In It's history. The enormous amount
OF 1850, 1856 board feet was produced,
and the mill value of this was 1921. 151. :
3SS. In addition, there were produced
11,S5s, 100000 shingles, valued at S24.
155,555, and 1872, ,SO7 900 lath, valued
at $11, ,49o,570 On the whole, it is safe
TO say that the present annual lumber
cut of the United States approximates
40 billion feet, and that the total mill
value of the lumber, lath, and shingles
each year produced is not less than
800, 100000. These figures give some
idea of how vast is the lumber indus
try and how great is the demand for
its products.
A glance at the kinds of lumber pro-
duced shows very clearly the passing
of white pine and oak, one ofthe great
est softwood and the other the greatest
hardwood which the forest has ever
grown. Since 1899 the cut of white
pine has fallen off more than 40 per
cent. while that of white oak has fallen
off more than 36 per cent. To-day vel.
low pine leads all other woods in
amount cut, while Douglas fir-and
this Will be surprise to many-comes
second. Since 1899 the cut of Douglas
fir has increased 1856 per cent. Louis
lana is the foremost yellow pine State,
with Texas, Mississippi and Arkansas
following in order. Washington pro-
duces by far the greatest amount of
Douglas fir.
A comparison of the lumber produc-
ing States shows that since 1899 there
have been many changes in their re-
lative rank. Washington, which in
1899 stood sixth, now leads, while Wis
consin, which eight years ago led all
Others, is now third. In the same per
iod Oregon, Louisiana, Mississippi,
Idaho and California made great strides
as lumber producing Sthough, on the
other hand, the amount produced in
Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Geor- |
gia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri,
Indiana, and Ohio fell off anywhere |
from 29 to 81 per cent.
The highest-priced native woods are
walnut, hickory, and ash, and the
cheapest are larch and white fir. From
the fact, however, that since 1899 the
average increase IN the price of lumber
has been 40 per cent. it will not be |
long before cheap woods are few and
far between.
Figures upon the lumber cut of the
United States in 1906 are contained in
Circular 122 of the Forest Service,
which can be had upon application to

culture, Washington, d. @.

DEATHS DOINGS

AS announced last week, Just as we
were going to press, the sudden death
of Nelson III. Sizer cast a gloom over a
large circle of friends Nelson Sizer

and resided here until he grew to man

every day life After moving to Al

BIOGRAPHY.
NELSON II. SIZER was born at Sizer-
vile, Pa, March 4th, 1854 He was
one of five childran two of whom sur
vive him. After reaching manhood he
for many years followed the numbering
business as foreman and inspector.
His strong characteristics, so essen
tlal to success sful travelling salesman,
were called to the attention of the
Jacob Dold Packing Company when
needing a salesman, and he was offer
ed the position which he has held for
the past several years. His record as
a salesman will ever stand as an ex-
ample worthy to be followed by his
fellow br ,thers; honest in all his deal
ing, faithful to his employer, firm but
fair with his customers. He was a
man that was very emphatic in his
denunciation of man, or things that
appeared to him to be different from
what they seemed to be. Am ong his
friends and associates he proved
great entertainer. Few were his equal
in his power of description.
His friends are numbered from the
highest to the lowest, and among his
acquaintances the most humble receiv-
ed his greatest attention. He had a
very strong individuality and the
word Sizer meant more for him than a
name. Peace be unto him.
NELSON H. STEER. we'll known
travelling salesman, residing at Llys-
wen, died at 3:15 o'clock yesterday
morning, of typhoid fever, at the AL
toons hospital. He was admitted to
the institution Feb. IA. Mr.. Sizer was
born at Sizerville, Cameron county,
Pa, and was aged 81 years. For the
past seven or eight years he had been
a resident of this city. He was
travelling salesman for the Jacob Dold
Packing company. Besides his wife,
he is survived by one brother, f. H.,
of New Castle, and one sister, Miss
Dora Sizer, of Sizerville. The we'll
known Burlingame family were cousins
of the deceased. Mr.. Sizer was man
of strong individuality and had a host
of friends. He was a member of the
United Commercial Travellers and his
death is the first in the local lodge
since it's organization four years ago.
The lodge will have charge of the
funeral.-Altoona Times, Feb 20, 1908.
