PRODUCTION OF LUMBER, LATH, AND SHINGLES IN 1918, 41 
LUMBER VALUES. 
The average values for lumber shown in Table 40 were determined 
for each species from the individual reports of mills representing 
every variation incident to the logging, transportation, manufacture, 
and sale of lumber. More than one-half of the mills, in reporting 
their cut, furnished values at which sales were made f. o. b. mill. 
These reports were scrutinized carefully and the figures are undoubt- 
edly representative. 
The table shows the average value of the different woods for speci- 
fied years from 1907 to 1918, during which period the lumber industry 
has undergone rather marked vicissitudes. The average value of 
$24.79 per 1,000 feet for all wodds in 1918 is an increase of $4.47, or 
22 per cent, over the 1917 average figure. It is the highest value 
Tecorded for any one year for which statistics are available. Every 
wood listed in the table shared in the advance, some to a much greater 
degree than others, as is revealed in the individual species tables.
