 i- rc|M>rted in two place.-, tin- tir-t giving items of live 

 capital for three branches of the industry, namely, de- 

 |N-ndent logging i-Hinp-. -au mills, and planing mills,

Under the heading of "wage-earners, including piece- 

 worker*," arc shown the greatest and least numberH 

 employed at any one time during the- census year, as 

 well a< tin- aggregate average number of wage-earner* 

 employed in all four branches of the industry, namely, 

 in dependent logging camps, sawmill.-, planing mills, 

 ami indc|>cndent logging camps. Wage-earner* in the 

 dependent logging camps appearing in this table as 

 .-uch, their wages are accordingly counted as a factor 

 in the aggregate amount of wages paid for the whole 

 industry. Following the summary are the details of 

 employees under logging, saw and planing mills, and 

 timber camps. 



I'nder the heading of "materials used," the "aggre- 

 gate cost*' includes, first, stumpage value of all timber 

 cut and used, whether in dependent or independent log- 

 ging camps; second, the total cost of all logs, ln.lt.-. 

 rough lumber, and other materials purchased: third, 

 the cost of all supplies, power, heat, and freight. 

 These bring the aggregate to the figures shown, namely, 

 $2-k>,295,101 for the United States. The state aggre- 

 gates under this head are made from the same factors 

 that enter into the aggregate for the United States. 



Under the heading of " products," the aggregate of 

 1666,832,9*4 is made up of the three totals: saw- 

 mill product.-, $422,812,061; planing mill product... 

 $107,622,519; and the products of independent timber 

 camps, $86.398,404. In the case of the sawmill total, 

 the amount received for custom work is included a- an 

 item in the total value of the sawmill products. The 

 value to the owner (not to the mill) of these product - 

 i.- not included. The same is true in the case of planing 

 mill, the amount received for doing custom work being 

 counted as a part of the total value of products in this 

 branch of the industry. Under "timber <-amp>," the 

 amount received for contract work, which is the same 

 in principle as the amount received for custom work in 

 the mill, is counted as an item in the value of product-. 

 The-e tlin-e totals together make the aggregate of 



Xo. 



$6* The aggregate value of product* for 



each state in made from il,.- -nine fa. lot- thai .1,1.1 

 into the aggregate' for the I'mi.-d >tata. 



The total quantity of .awed liunU'r and almi the total 



quantity of shingle imifactiired in each state and in 



the United States, arranged according to M| . ie- ,,f 

 timU't used a. material, are shown in -<-|irate tobies 

 numbered 45, 46, and 47. The two vain. item-. I 

 ever, in these special tables viz, the one -li..wing the 

 total value of shingles and the other the total value 

 of sawed lumber manufactured in the United Slated 

 during the census year do not enter in this form into 

 the total value of the sawmill product* for tin- :. i-., n 

 that they include, along with the value of the merchant 

 sawed lumber and shingles, also the value of the cu-ioiu 

 sawed lumber and shingles. The object of these s|>ecial 

 tables showing the total quantity of sawed lumber and 

 the total quantity of shingles by states and for the 

 United State.-, arranged according to .jM-cie. of timber 

 used, was to present these items of the sawmill product 

 solely for the purpose of showing the total amount 

 manufactured without regard to their owner-hip or 

 value from the standpoint of the mill. 



The next item entering into the total value of Haw- 

 mill product.- is that of cooperage materials. The 

 quantity and value by states and for the United States 

 of hoops, staves, and heading are shown separately, 

 and the total value of $2O,714.H7<> of all these cooperage 

 materials is also shown. 



The next item under sawmill product is that of 

 "other sawed products." Most of these, such as " bob- 

 bin and spool stock," "furniture stock," etc., are re- 

 ported in M feet, B. M. . and only the merchant prod- 

 ucts are shown in this table. In the bulletin issued 

 alM.ut March 1, under the heading of "Sawed lum- 

 ber," where the object was to present a total for the 

 United States of all products of the sawmill which had 

 been reported in M feet, H. M.. the quantity of these 

 items, both merchant and custom, was added to the 

 quantity of "sawed lumber." both merchant and <-u- 

 tom, and it was these factors, the total quantity of all 

 sawmill products which were reported in M feet. It. M., 

 that made the aggregate of 35,<W4,166 M feet, B. M., 

 for the United States, This, of course, excludes 

 such products a shingles, cooperage material, and laths, 

 but includes the total quantity of rough ImnU-r. both 

 merchant and custom, and the total quantity of those 

 items under "other sawed products" which were re- 

 ported in M feet, B. M., namely, "bobbin and spool 

 k." "furniture stock." "agricultural implement 

 -lock," "carriage and wagon stock." and "pickets and 

 palings." The total- for each state under this heading 

 are made up of the same factor-. 



The total value of this sawed lumber, namely, 

 $3!0.489,878, is not, however, in if. entirety, to be 

 considered a part of the total value of product.- for the 

 industry, namely. $56(1.832.9*4. for the reason that it
