"EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 5,1901.
Ho ;. A. C. Hopkins, or the \V?iite
Pine King.
Tho largest distributors of white pine ,
lumbor in tho eastern section of tho \
United States are located at Eufffllo j
and Tonawanda, IT. Y. Tho growing
"caroity of white pitio in Michigan and !
Wisconsin, tho section in which tho j
Imr.b r di' tr'buted ot Buffalo and Ton- j
a wane! a has been largely secured, has j
ied these dealers farther west for their |
-apply i bi'gn grade whito p";.- h a-1
ber and another year will see largo j
consignments of whito pine ship; <1 j
from the Pacific slope.
This condition has led to the j
covery that the largest tract of whi'.e I
pine in that section is hold by lion. A. !
C. Hopkins, of thia city.
A representative of The Times i
called upon Mr. J. G. Pierce, or Ore- j
gon, who arrived in this city this week-. :
Mr. Pierce is as-ociatod with Mr. Hop- ,
kins and is thoroughly familiar with j
tho timber. Ho kindly granted an in- j
terview.
The timber is located in Oregon, two j
miles north of the boundary line be- j
tweon that state and California and lies
on the southern end slope of the Cas
cado Range, in Jackson and Klamath I
counties There are 40,000 acres in tho j
tract and the sturr.pane is estimated at j
1,500,000,000 feet, of California white
pine and.'"> 00,000,000 feet of fir, besides
other woods.
This California pine is very similiar '
in quality and fibre to tho white pine
growing in this state. It is, however, ,
very much larger in sizo and runs to a
higher percentage of high grade lum
ber. The largest tree measures eight,
feet in diameter at the stump and is
05 foet to the first limb. The log next!
to the stump will sealo S,OOO feet and
the first 'our Jogs will scale 30,000 feet.
The entire tree contains at least 50,000
feet.
Mr. Pierce says there is a spot on
tho lands where 100 trees can be seon
without moving one's position, none of
the trees being less than five feet in
diameter at the stump. The trees run
in length from 135 to 225 feet.
Hon. Hervey Lftldley, of Klamoth,
Oregon, who has been in the city for
tho past week owns timber adjoining
Mr. Hopkins' lands. •He said, "Mr.
Hopkins has the largest lot of standing
white pine timber owned by any one
man in the world."
Mr. Hopkins has been holding this
timber for years. He has in his office
a California pine plank two inches j
thick, 38 inches wido and 16 feet long,
without a flaw of any kind. The in- S
creasing demand for the higher grades |
will now bring this timber into the ;
market.—Lock Haven Times.

son, propose having a family reunion,
at her home in Sterling Run, on her
77th birthday, Saturday, Sept. 7th. Yll
relatives and friends aro invited to
conr- and bring their baskets.
Lightning's Work.
Last Saturday afternoon a severe
storm visited Sizer Run and serious
damaga was inflicted* on Amandus
Doll's residence. Lightning struck his
homo, shattering and demolishing ono
end of the house. Mrs. Doll, who was
alone in the house was severely shock
ed and rendered unconscious for a
time.
Big Crowds at Kan-Am.
The crowds to Buffalo are daily in
creasing and all trains are crowded.
An unusually large number of Empo
riumites left hero on Tuesday's Flyer.
Among the party were Mrs. Chas.
Soger and son Harold, Mrs. Ed White,
Mrs. C. W. Shafer, Mrs. Geo. Metzger,
Jr., Mrs.C. Jay Goodnough, and many
others whose names wo could not
le;rn.
Golden Wedding.
A large number of friends and rela
tives met at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Washington Mason, in Gibson, on
Friday, Aug. 30th, it being the 50th
anniversary of their wedding.
All came with baskets well filled and
a splended dinner was served. Many
handsome and useful presents were re
ceived. All went home pleased over
the happy event.
Severely Scalded.
Last Tuesday afternoon Edward F.
Brady, who is assisting his father at
tho fnrnace at this place, met with a
painful accident. It appears the steam
line to the laboratory sprung a leak
and underminded the ground at a
point between the office and works,
and when the young man was pass
ing over the same the ground gave
way, his right leg sinking into the
scalding hot water and mud, severely
burning that member. He was taken
to Rockwell's drug store, whero Dr.
Baker and Mrs. Rockwell relieved his
suffering. No serious results aro ap
prehended and the sturdy young man
will soon be ready for another "bath,"
but no doubt will prefer a cold one.
Collins C. Lyman Called to His
Reward.
The grim reaper at last removed
from life one of our oldest and best
known citizens, Mr. Collins C. Lyman,
father of Mr. Anson T. Lyman, one of
our most respected citizens.
The death of Mr. Lyman had been
expected for some months past on ac
count of his age and his infirmities,
and therefore the community in gen
eral was not wholly surprised. His
demise came at 1 o'clock Monday
morning, afcer a long illness as the
result of his age.
The deseased was born at Lymans
ville, Potter county, and was one of
the early settlers of that section and
in fact of Potter county. He had
nearly his whole life been actively en
gaged in lumbering and farming and
up to five years ago was a hard work
ing citizen of the county.
He was married in ISSI to Mi6s Alvira
Logue, at Lymansville, who died about
sixteen years ago. He is survived by
three children, the oldest being Mr. A.
T. Lyman of this place, Mr. Oscar
Lyman, of Emporium and Mrs. Malie
Edwards of Sizerville.
The funeral was held at Sizerville,
Wednesday morning and the inter
ment was at that place Many sym
pathizing friends of the family accom
panied the sad funeral party to that
place. The services were conducted
by Rey. Johnston who gave an excell
ent discourse.—Austin Republican. Mr.
Lyman was for many years a respected
resident of this county and held many
positions of trust, the most important
being county commissioner for three
years.

Those Saving Banks.
Last year the First National Bank •>
our town introduced the Home Sav
ings Banks. At that time the boys and
girls of our town and vicinity had very
little money deposited to their credit
in the bank. Now after a year's trial of
these little banks which they take home
with them, and drop their savings into
and once in, cannot be taken out until
returned to the First National Bank
and credited in their pass book, they
now have thousands of dollars to their
credit in the bank. When a boy or girl,
man or woman once, secures a bank
] book, they are often eager to add more
I money to their account.
The good old Quaker once said to his
' boy: "Tom, it is not what thee reads
j that makes thee smart; it is not what
I thee eats that makes thee fat; nor what
j thee earns that makes the rich, but
| what thee saves."
This saving-habit may be acquired
through the steady use of these liitle
Home Savings Banks. Thus little by
little you acquire the habit of saving.
Parents should heartily encourage
! their boys and girls to do so.

baking to do, apply at once.
