Note Footnote 6: — Chapter VII

The shifting of the chief sources of supply has, of course, been accompanied by a change in the kinds of lumber produced. There was a time when white pine alone constituted one-half of the total quantity. In 1900 this species furnished but 21.5 per cent., in 1904 only 15 per cent., of the lumber cut.6 We do not use less pine because we have found something better, but because we have to put up with something worse.
