Forest Exhaustion Brings High Prices

Denver, Colo.-Lumber production

the face of a need unparalleled in the

ing to the Western States, the last of
our softwood reserves. Thirty years
ago after the depletion of New York
and Pennsylvania white pine sections,
the American lumber market was
drawing its supply from the Great
Lakes States. When the source in
those sections became exhausted and
the forests no longer able to supply
the demand or furnish enough to keep
the mills in operation, the industry
moved to the Southern Yellow Pine
region, and is rapidly duplicating the
same procedure there. The inevitable
result follows that within the near
future we shall be wholly dependent
upon this reserve of all-purpose soft
woods, the Pacific Slope. Not only
