MAHOGANY IS
IN BIG DEMAND
POPULAR AS EVER IN FUANI.
TURE AND FINISHING.
SUPPLY IS DECREASING
Cost Of Wood Il Increasing and VIII
Continue to Do So, Says Local FUR
niture Man-Price Of Cutting and
Transportation Big Item.

Mahogany Is getting to be more
popular than ever as the leading I'm
ishing wood, both in the construction
OF furniture and in the interior finish
ing Of modern homes" says the furni-
ture nan at Settlers store.
More homes are now being furn-
ished with that wood than ever be-
fore, which at first may seem strange
in view Of the fact that the recent
panic has caused people to economize
and spend less on almost everything,
but the fact remains that the sales OF
mahogany have not fallen OF q BIT
during the last year. The price Of the
wood has never huctuated and Is not
likely to as there are several reasons
to account for Its steady increase In
cost.
supply % Decreasing.
"For one reason the supply is de-
creasing rapidly. The mahogany for.
ests in Jamaica, South America and Ii
the West Indies and the Bahama
islands are being depleted 1t m as
tonishing rate. Another reason is
that In case new forests should he
discovered In some remote and unex-
ployer land the tremendous expense
in hauling and transporting the logs
would in itself keep the price up.
1T may appear somewhat ,exagger-
ated to say that single mahogany
logs bring $4,000 apiece. Eight and
ten thousand dollars is not uncom-
mon, sales running even up to $15,-
900 for a single log. The best pieces
of mahogany are usually secured by
piano manufacturers in the construc-
ton OF their product.
"The best mahogany comes from
the Island of San Domingo. Soon af-
ter the discovery Of that island by Co
lumbus in 1892 the spaniards ex.
plored inland, finding rich forests of
the wood which they afterwards used
extensively in the construction and
decoration of their ships.
Cutting Expensive.
"The cutting Of the mahogany
trees, which are correctly termed
'monarchs Of the forest is a very
costly operation and has something to
do with boosting the price OF the
wood. August is the time in which.
the trees are cut, as in. that season Of
the year the trees are less likely to
split in falling. A scaffold is con-
structed about 10 OF 20 feet above the
ground according to the size Of the.
trunk, and it is upon this that the axe
men work. The time occupied in cut
ting is long and tedious and after
the tree has fallen it must be hauled
to the nearest railroad point. Almost
always the trees r found in a very
moutainous country, making it very
expensive to haul to the railroad. So
1t q be readily seen why mahogany
is SO expensive and It's cost is in
creasing."
