figure low, runs from $15 to $20 per 

 1,000 feet. 



These items of cost tell their own 

 stories of the difficulties encountered 

 in railway transportation and load- 

 ing. Twelve dollars per 1,000 feet 

 for loading logs on shipboard would 

 sound like a hold-up price in this 

 country, but this loading is done in 

 localities where labor-saving devices 

 are scarce and many difficulties are 

 encountered. 



It is pretty much the same story 

 in the matter of railway hauling. 

 Most of the timber is no more than 



twenty-five miles from the coast, 

 yet often there is a railway charge 

 involved running up to $15 per 1,000 

 feet. The ocean-going freight is un- 

 commonly high at the present time 

 but the other items of cost are not 

 unusual, and they serve to illustrate 

 graphically why it is mahogany tim- 

 ber is high by the time it reaches the 

 consumer. Perhaps some day we 

 shall be able to introduce more mod- 

 ern methods, and cut down some of 

 these items of cost. Meantime, how- 

 ever, other items involving increased 

 expense will likely accrue, such as 

 having to go further int-o forests after 

 the timber.
