Jacob Dieter of Reynolds reports: 



5,000 railroad cross-ties.

Mr. Wm. F. Prall has done much cutting on the Bunnell estate 

 near Reynolds and reports the following figures for the period of Sep-

Table VII. 



10,000 railroad cross-ties. 

 25,000 feet of lumber. 



In nearly this same time he has cut 200,000 feet of lumber in Car- 

 roll County just across the White County line. 



The reports from the above five sources make a grand total of 

 574,129 feet of lumber, 43,648 railroad cross-ties, 8,501 fence posts and 

 2,086 cords of wood. Other mills in the county will show as high and 

 possibly higher figures. Besides the output of these portable mills using 

 up native timber there is, speaking comparatively, a considerable amount 

 of timber cut up as cord wood and fence posts. The supply is becoming 

 less and less each year, and were the county at once deprived of all 

 the timber now left, the lack of this valuable resource still remaining, 

 I am sure, would be keenly felt.
