The Kennewick courier. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1905-1914, 1911-12-01

Washington led the whole United
States in the manufacture of lumber
in 1910, according to the figures
just issued by the Census Bureau.
The state will, undoubtedly, dupli-
cate the performance of last year
for it is far ahead in the 1911 cut.
During 1910 Washington cut more
than one-tenth of all the lumber
manufactured in the country.
The Pacific Coast group of states
has steadily increased its lumber
yield, while a decrease is noted by
the census statisticians in New York,
New England and the lake states.
Douglas fir has increased to second
in Importance in lumber materials,
yellow pine being first. The total
cut of Washington mills in 1910
was 4 ,O97. 492, 600 feet.
