Rosin ranks next, with nearly ten per 
cent of the total value of these exports. 
Spirits of turpentine follows with about 
ten per cent. Four-fifths of the rosin 
and turpentine go to Europe. 
The number of shingles exported has 
decreased fairly regularly since 1903. 
In 1907 there were shipped less than half 
the number that were exported four 
years before. More than fifty per cent 
of these shingles g) to Mexico, while less 
than ten per cent were shipped to ports 
outside of North America. This shows 
how few shingles are in demand abroad. 
The total exports of shingles represent 
less than one-fifth of one per cent of the 
production of this class of material in 
the United States. 
The amount of wood exported in the 
form of hewn or sawed timber and lum¬ 
ber was about seven per cent of the total 
lumber cut in the United States in 1907. 
More yellow pine is exported than any 
other kind of timber. The order is 
yellow pine, Douglas fir, and redwood. 
Although there are no figures which bear 
directly on the amount of yellow pine 
annually exported, it is estimated that at 
least thirteen per cent of the yellow pine 
cut finds its way to other countries. 
Probably a third of the Douglas fir ex¬ 
ported went to South America. 
The redwood exported forms an 
important item. Australia and the 
Orient together took forty per cent of 
the total and South America thirty-two 
per cent. The exports of redwood in 
1907 were about five times what they 
were twelve years ago and were larger 
than those of any previous year. The 
shipments to Australia and the Orient 
especially have been increasing steadily 
during this period. The shipments to 
South America of redwood, as well as a 
number of other forest products, has 
increased greatly in the past two years.

he reaches the North Pole.” 
Another important article deals with Denver, the Democratic National
