LODGEPOLE PINE. 
The output of lodgepole pine in 1917, amounting to 12,415,000 
feet, was less than one-half of the quantity reported sawed the year 
before and was very much smaller than for any one of the last 10 
years. 
The average value for lodgepole pine was $18.34, compared with 
$15.13 in 1916, an advance of 21 per cent.

MINOR SPECIES. 
In Table 37 is shown the quantity reported sawed of a number of 
woods, both domestic and imported, which have more or less special 
uses and which are in themselves not important enough to be tabu- 
lated and discussed separately. The tabulation also indicates the 
average value reported and the States in which the several woods 
were sawed. The quantity of mahogany cut is nearly twice as much 
as that reported for the preceding year, while the cut of willow was 
five times larger in 1917 than in 1916.
