Lumber shipments $50 Cars a Day
The lumber shipments for the past months
have averaged about $50 per day. De-
cember was the banner month in the history
Of the port, but the indications now are that
January may also show imports exceeding
80, 600 feet. Three switch engines are in
constant use making up lumber trains, ana the
capacity Of the railroad yards is taxed to
handle the enormous traffic.
The shipments from the Southern Pacific
yards has averaged over 100 cars per day, and
on the east side of the channel the Salt Lake
road is sending out about so cars per day.
Yesterday a train of 81 cars with over 1000 OOd
feet left the yards here Few of the steam
schooners bring cargoes to port containing so
much lumber
Improvements in railway facilities has kept
pace with the increased lumber shipments. In
the days when most of the lumber was brought
to port in sailing vessels there was often
to wait their turn at the wharves. Since the
Southern Pacific slip was completed and new
tracks and spurs have been built vessels dis
charge direct to the and there is little
lumber stacked on the wharves.
