In 1900 Indiana reached its highest point in the value of tim- 

 ber and lumber products. According to the industrial reports of 

 the Census Bureau, the decline in value of wood products from 

 1900 to 1905 was from twenty million dollars to fourteen and one- 

 half million dollars. During that same time, the State fell from 

 the seventh place to the sixteenth place in the production of lum- 

 ber. In 1905, although the lumber industries were showing a de- 

 cline, yet in value of products, lumber and its remanufactures were 

 fourth in the list of Indiana industries, being exceeded by (1) 

 food and kindred products, (2) iron and steel and their products 

 and (3) vehicles. At present more than half of the lumber comes 

 from outside of the State, mainly from Kentucky, Tennessee, West 

 Virginia, Arkansas and the Gulf States.
