WHITE PINE PRODUCTION. 
THE position which the United States has held 
as a lumber-producing nation has, perhaps, been 
due more to white pine than to any other wood. 
The timber of this valuable tree which has played 
a most important part in the material develop- 
ment of the nation is fast disappearing, and now 
it is as costly as the finest American hardwoods. 
Rev. Edward Everett Hale, the chaplain of the 
Senate, who has always taken an interest in for- 
estry, deplores the passing of white pine as our 
foremost wood, and tells how in his own life- 
time he has seen the day when “the masts of 
every vessel that sailed the Seven Seas were 
made from New England grown pine; while to- 
day every little white pine is cut in New Eng- 
land big enough to furnish a good-sized spar.” 
He tells also, to illustrate the increasing cost 
of the wood, that he ordered a set of book 
shelves on which the cabinet maker made a 
price, and then asked whether they should be 
of mahogany or white pine. 
The white pine production has shifted from 
New England to the Lake States, and Michigan! 
was the leading lumber-producing State fo| 
twenty years, from 1870 to 1890, with a supremacy 
based on white pine. In these two decades the 
cut was 160,000,000,000 of board feet, valued, at 
the point of production, at not less than two bil-| 
lions of dollars, or nearly half as much again as 
the value derived from all the gold fields of Cali- 
fornia from their discovery in the late forties 
until the present. The rich forests of Michigar 
were once thought inexhaustible, and lumbering 
continued in a most reckless manner for years 
Suddenly the people awoke to the fact that the 
thoughtless destruction of the trees had throwrk 
6,000,000 of acres on the delinquent tax listL 
These white pine barrens point to the terrible| 
penalty of wasting the forest resources whict 
should have been the heritage of all future! 
generations. 
An idea of the increasing scarcity of whitel 
pine timber is given by the New York F. O. B 
quotations, on a basis of carload lots. “Uppers,’ 
of the best grade, cost $97 to $114 a thousanc 
board feet, and the “selects,” or next lower grad« 
cost $97.50 to $99.50. Men who are not ye 
middle-aged remember the time when these 
grades could be purchased at $15 to $25 a thou 
sand feet. The present quotations on quarterec 
white oak, which are $75 to $80, offer anothe: 
basis of comparison which indicates the condi: 
tion of the market for white pine. 
The best stands of this timber now in thi: 
country are in scattered sections in Minnesota 
New England and parts of Idaho. The specie: 
in Idaho is sometimes called silver pine. Som 
of the country’s best white pine is found on thi 
Indian reservation in Minnesota and Wisconsit! 
and scattered stands are found in the States o 
Wyoming, Montana, Colorado and one or-twé 
other States. At the present rate of cutting thi 
tree will soon be practically a thing of the past 
The small stands in the National forests are in 
considerable, but they will be managed with th 
greatest conservatism by the Government throug! 
the Forest Service, and through this method an 
practice of reforestation it may be hoped tha 
the fine old tree will furnish timber for othe 
generations.
