piler as due to failure of small concerns reporting on the former 

 and to increase in the scale at the mill. There is enough con- 

 fusion in the various tabulations to also produce various differ- 

 ences in other aggregates. 



The saw mills alone seem to have produced from materials 

 valued at $226,000,000 a product valued at $423,000,000. In ad- 

 dition to the 35 billion feet of lumber valued at $342,000,000,* 

 representing 81 per cent, of the whole, the following materials 

 were produced at the mills : 



Value, 

 Material. Quantity. Million 



Dollars. 



Shingles M. 12,102,007 18.9 



Hoops, M. 441.327 2.7 



Staves, M. 1,664,792 13.7 



Headings, M. 124,089 4.3 



Bobbin and spool stock, M. ft 40,037 .5 



Furniture stock, M. ft 105,305 1.9 



Agricultural implement stock, M. ft 33,250 .6 



Carriage and wagon stock, M. ft. 82,686 1.8 



Pickets and paling, M. 35,804 .3 



Laths, M. 2,523,998 4.7 



All other sawed products 19.6 



The mill product outside the lumber value was therefore round 

 $70,000,000. 



While these represent reported amounts from regular mills and 

 logging camps connected with them, the independent lumber 

 camps added 3383 million feet of logs cut for mills, valued at 

 $20,600,000, and other materials, like logs for export, hewn 

 timber, railway ties, po.sts, poles, masts, spars, handle and cooper- 

 age stock, etc., aggregating about $15,000,000. 



One very important item which apparently is not included in 

 the above statements, the pulp wood, forms the subject of a special 

 census, and adds over two and one-half million cords of log or 

 bolt size material to the above. The consumption of this manu- 

 facture alone has more than trebled in the last decade. 



In addition to these enumerated amounts, there must be allow- 

 ance made, not only for what has escaped the enumerator in the 

 regular wood consuming establishments, but also the ver}' large 



' In another table this is reported as ^385, 298,304, and the value of ma- 

 terials also figures differently.
