Iii tlie following table the industries using wood in part have been classified according to an 

 estimated per cent of wood values entering into tlie finished product, and a proportionate allowance 

 lias been made in capital, number, wages of employees, and raw material. Since probably more 

 labor is employed in shaping wood than metals, the figures relating to that portion are probably 

 under the truth.

While these values are produced by the mere exploitation of the natural resource and their 

 conversion into useful articles, it has been believed, predicted, and feared that, under the treatment 

 which this resource receives at present, the natural supplies would sooner or later give out, and 

 without attention to regrowth this large line of industries would find it difficult to secure the 

 raw material and would thus be crippled, and hence the work of the Division was called for, in the 

 first place, to investigate the truth of this assertion.
