The proportion of the total lumber

York and New England states did not
vary materially during the three years

in 1908, and rs per cent in 1909.
Although the wood-pulp industry
continues to make heavy and increas-
ing draft upon the supply of spruce,
this tree practically shares with white
pine the place of first Importance
|among the lumber timbers of this
region. In 1909 it contribution to the
total lumber cut of this group Of states
was 28.S per cent, while that of white
pine was S1.1> per cent.

The relative Importance of the lake
