FIIE CAMERON COUNTY PRESS. ESTABLISHED BY C. B. GOULD, MARCH, 1866. VOL. 41. Wood for Paper Costs Twenty-Six Millions. To-day there is general complaint among publishers that printing paper is constantly growing dearer. In tho Middle West many local papers are raising their subscription price 50 per cent, in order to pay for the paper. From the time when Gotenberg first used movable type, made of wood, to the present day of metropolitan papers, some of which consume the product of acres of spruce in a single edition, printing has in very large degree de pended upon the forest. Iu the face of a threatened shortage of timber, the amount of wood con sumed each year for pulp has increased since 1899 from 2 million to 31 million cords. The year 190' ! marked an in crease of 93,000 cords in tho imports of pulpwood, the highest average value pi>r cord for all kinds, and a consump tion greater by 469,053 cords than that of any previous year. Spruce, the wood from which in 1899 three-fourths of the pulp was manu factured, is still the leading wood, but it now produces a little less thau 70 per cent ofthe total. How well spruce is suited to the manufacture of pulp is shown by the fact that during a period in which the quantity of wood used has doubled and many new woods have been introduced, the proportion of spruce pulpwood has remained nearly constant in spite of the drains upon the spruce forests for other purposes, During this time three different woods from widely separated regions, have in turn held the rank of leader in the lumber supply. Since 1899 poplar, which for years was used in connection with spruce to the exclusion of all other paper woods, has increased in total quantity less than 100,000 cords, and is now outranked by hemlock, pine, balsam, and cotton wood are used in much smaller amounts. New York alone consumes each year over a million and a quarter cords of wood in the manufacture of pulp, or more than twice as much as Maine, which ranks next. Wisconsin, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, and Mich igan follow in the order given. Sixty per cent, of the wood used in New York was imported from elsewhere, aud even so the supply appears to be waning, since the total consumption for the State shows a small decrease since 1906, whereas the other States named have all increased their con sumption. Other States important in the production of pulp are: Massach usetts, Minnesota, Ohio, Oregon, Ver mont, Virginia and West Virginia. The average cost of pulp delivered at the mill was §7.21. The total value of the wood consumed in 1905 was §26,- 403,000. The chief item determining the price of paper is the cost of pulp. An example of the increased price of paper is found in the case of a publisher o. r a daily in the Middie West, who re cently paid §1,200 for a carload of paper. The same quantity and grade of paper cost a year ago but §BOO. The chemical processes of paper making, which better preserve the wood fiber, are gaining over the mech anical process. In 1899, 65 per cent, of the wood was reduced by the mechan ical process; in 1906; less than 50 per cent. All importations of wood for pulp are from Canada, and comprised, in 1906, 739,000 cords, nearly all of which was spruce. Four and a half million dollars' worth of pulp was imported in 1906, a slight falling otf from 1905. Circular 120 of the Forest Service contains a discussion of the consump tion of pulpwood in 1906. based on statistics gathered by the Burean of the Census and the Forest Service. The pamphlet can be had upon appli cation to the Forester, United States Department of Agriculture, Washing ton, D. C. Horrible Find. Last Saturday afternoon about 4:30 o'clock, immediately after the Buffalo Flyer,going north, passed the Stone ham place, near the Jackson farm, about two miles from town, Robert Prentice was horrified to see a new born boy baby lying on the outside of t he track, it having either been placed there or was dropped from the train. Mr. Prentice, we are told, said the the child was not dead when he dis covered it, but only breathed once or twice. The authorities were notified and undertaker Laßar brought the re mains to town. The case is now being investigated by acting coroner M. M. Larrabee and a jury. We hope the in human mother, or other person, may be discovered. Wanted. A few good good milk customers. E. J.

WASHINGTON LETTEK. [From our Regular Correspondent.] Washington, Dec:. .'JOtli, 1907. With President Roosevelt and his family in Virginia and the hol iday spirit still prevading the city, political as well as social Wash ington would indeed be dull but for the stir caused in army and navv circles by the resignation of Rear Admiral lirownson as chief of the Bureau of Navigation, made necessary by his difference of opin ion with the« President as to the proper commander for the hospital ship, Relief. Admiral Brownson preceded his resignation by a cold, clear and logical presentation of the reasons why he objected to tiie assignment of a physician to com mand a naval ship, even though that vessel were exclusively devot ed to hospital uses. The Presi dent declines to make public this statement, although Surgeon Gen eral Bixsy has come out in print with the viewpoint of the staff side of the controversy and the obvious inference is that there is some thing in the letter of Admiral Brownson which the President pre fers not to see in print, at least for the present. This attitude is the cause of much agitation in military circles and they can only hope for a change in the executive mind or an investigation by Congress which will develop all the facts. As the controversy, precipitated by the resignation of Rear Admiral Brownson, threatens to occupy the attention of the public for some time to come, it may not be out of place to state the difference be tween the line and the staff, about which the public mind is more or less confused. To be brief, a line officer is one whose sole duty is to fight the ship, while the staff officer either provides the means for the line officer to fight, or acts under his direction in carrying out his general orders. For instance, tho engineer when off the staff looks closely after the machinery and starts and stops it when called up on to do so by the line officer; he has nothing to say about the desti nation of the ship, its speed or when it shall move. Likewise, the surgeons aboard ship look after the health of the crew in time of peace and heal their wonnds in time of war, having nothing what- ever to do with the movements of the ship to which they are attach ed, and the same rule applies to the paymaster and to the con structor who builds the ship navi gated by the line officer. Secretary Metcalf has repeatedly declined to enter into any discus sion of the issues which prompted Admiral Brownson's resignation and declares he knows nothing about tlie statement of Surgeon General Kixey to the eifect that the internal administration of the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery had been interferred with by the Bureau of Navigation. Surgeon General Rixey is in Virginia with President Roosevelt shooting wild turkeys. Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, who had been at the White House for two weeks past, where she went to undergo an operation for appen dicitis, has again taken possession of her house on I street. Mrs. Longworth has almost entirely re covered from her illness and has taken great interest in the arrange ment of her house in holiday at tire. At each window have been placed holly wreaths tied with bright red ribbon, and the interior of the house, with its quantities of potted plants and vases filled witn flowers, is much like a conserva tory. Prosperity smiles on the few andjirives the many the horse laugh. Terms: $2.00 — $1.50 in Advanck. THE WEATHE'II. FRIDAY, Fair. SATURDAY, Fair. SUNDAY, Snow. ASSETS First National Bank, EMPORIUM, PA.
