 It is a striking fact that though lum- 

 ber prices have been steadily going up 

 'luring the last half-century, the per 

 capita consumption of lumber has also 

 been going up. In 1850, according to 

 the best figures obtainable, the average 

 4 



consumption to each person in the coun- 

 try was 250 feet ; in 1900, 460 feet; and 

 in 1907, 480 feet. This illustrates what 

 has been found true the world over — 

 that with industrial progress the de- 

 mand for wood becomes greater and 

 greater.
