Lumber Shipments Into California in lgzs

The water borne movement of forest products to Southern California ports for the year 1925 will approximate very closely to the equivalent of 1,600,000,000 board feet of lumber as compared with 1,576,705,000 feet for 1924 and Z,lZ2,835,000 leet for 1923.

The monthly movement for the years 1924-25 (in M ft.,) : far back as 1898 Redwood made up 35 per cent of the total movement. This year it will be only B per cent. There has been a possible increase in the rail movement but not sufficient to account for the decrease. The average monthly boat arrivals is 100, making l2OO f.or the year. Boat loads rtrn from 375 to 2500 thousand with but few small boats in service except from Redwood ports. 1913 was the banner year until 1923 took the lead.

The actual movement for December, 1925, to the night of the 28th was 124,980 M feet.

Totals by the month, for 1925, in the Bay District, are not yet available.

For the first eleven months of the year, the grand total of lumber received by rail and water, at San Francisco, was 971,W0 M feet, with an estimated total for December of gO million feet, making a total for the year of just a little over a billion feet. It is interesting to uote the segregation of this amount.In 1925, first eleven months, this port received : i The major part of the movement, about 80 per cent, is discharged at Los Angeles Harbor. Redondo has been relegated from second to third place by San Diego, which will absorb some 135 million feet, of which about ten million feet were ties. If Redondo shows up 100 million feet it will do better than last year. Santa Barbara, at a guess, will run between 25 and 30 million. What is left may be divided between llueneme, Ventura and Long Beach. One rather remarkable feature is the falling off in Redrvood. As

This is quite a gain over 1924, when the grand total for the twelve months was 934,445 M feet, separated as follows :
