 different proportions of -_'7. '.*. and 24 per cent 



These three special talli-. -howing the two logging 

 branches of the lumber industry combined, the sawmill 

 branch separated, and the planing-mill operations com- 

 bined, are not intended to be exact tabulations of returns 

 made at the Twelfth Census, but are presented in this 

 detailed way for the purpose of giving a clearer con- 



--ption of both the relative and actual importance of 



a, h bntn.-h of the lumber industry; and since su.-h 

 ;>r<--entation of the subject was not contemplated \vln-n 

 th -. hedule was framed, it has been found necessary to 

 complete the information under certain headings by esti- 

 mate-. In nil >iieh cases, however, these figures have 

 been supplied with extreme care; so that the results 

 should har.lly be described as estimates, but rather as 

 logical inf. n-nces from data and relations actually 

 reported.
