This embraces all tho lumber past
ing through Williamsport by rail and
caaal for 1878, up to tho closo ol A
gutt. There is no data at band to
estimate the quantity that passed down
tbo river during tho Spring freshets by
raft, but it it safe to pat at 50,000,000,
which would twell the grand total to
over 200,000,000 leet
OPERATIONS AT Till ROOMS.
Up to tbe present timo there have
been 505,132 logs ratted out ol tbe
boom, and delivered to the manufao
turcrt, equalling 91,700,337 feet of lum-
ber. Tho boomage tax, ia now f 1 per
1,000 feet, which ia paid to tho compa
ny by the owncra of tho log when
delivered to them. It is estimated that
only 30,000,000 now remain in the
boom, which will bo rafted out and de
livered in a fow weeks, when the sea
ton will close. An immenso quantity
of lombor bat passed throuuh this
great boom since it waa loundcd, and
its revenue will reach several millions
ol dollar. Is it any wonder that it
hat been such a bone oi contention lor
yeara and figured to conspicuously In
th Legislature ? For it waa aa great
a sourco ol wealth at tho silver mines
of Nevada, and kept Peter llordic in
pocket-money in bit palmy days. From
1862 op to the prosent lime there have
been rafted out of the Williamsport
boom 13,745,637 logs, eqalling 2,033,
503,847 feet of lumber. Estimating
lour logs to R tree, it required 3,310,374
trees to furnish tho stock for tho six
teen year embracod in this period ol
timo. ini ia truly an enormous
quantity, and give the reader a prac
tical ides of the magnitude of thn lum
ber trado ol Williamsport, and how
rapidly tbe great pine forests aro being
wiped out to supply the demand for
lumber. If wo value this lumber at
only tlO per 1,000 feet, In ronnd nnm

figures may bo accounted for by the
homo consumption, destruction by fire,
oto, Previous to 1800 no reports of

of (be boom must betaken a tbo basis
on which to estimate tbe quantity

for lumber by tho Government during

The business of the presunt year will
probably como up to that of lust ycur.
It will be observed by tho table that
tho shipping business was at its height
in 1871, and tho heaviest business al
tbo boom in 1873, when over 300,000,
000 wero ruffed out During 1872 the
shipments fell off, (hen milled in 1873
After thut thev show a marki'il lulling
off. iSocli an enormous Mock wus got
in during 1872, according to the boom
figures of 1873, llmt there was a slid
den letting tip tbo following year.
Since 1870 there hits been a rapid de
cline ol business at tho boom, although
tho shipments of lust ycur showed
soma improvement.
According lo the oftlciul reports ot
tho Kxchango the manufacturers hud a
stock on band January 1, 1877, of 101,
057,7fl feet of pine, 23,05,31fl feet of

in the yiiito nvuilublu lor lumbering
purposes. Many persons aro laboring
under the impression that the stock ol
pine is ulmoel exhausted. That is a
great mistake. In 1873 l lift National
Lumberman's Association requested
.Mr. lieorgo W. Lenlx, of the firm of
While, l.enttt White, prominent lum
ber manufacturers of Williamsporl, to
make acareful estimate of tbo standing
pine, .hemlock end bard woods in Penn.
slvania. Air. Leuiz spent considera
ble lime in visiting the timber districts,
conferring with manufacturer, limber
owners and olheis, lor the purpose ot
arriving at some basis on which to
make an estimate. In 1874 he reported
lo tho Nalional Lumberman's Associa
tion, then in session at .Saginaw, Mich.,
as follows :
Feel.
Total on all alr.ania caat of lb. At
Irghrnlef J, Jot,00,000

Total bard wooda io I'eoatjlraoia... 4,0 1,000,000
ToUl of all binda 14,300,000,000
Four year have elapsed since that
estimate, and an allowance must be
made for the consumption in tbe mean
time. Mr. Lents has given tho subject
closo attention, and today ho estimates
tho standing timber in tho ftlato as
follows :
Feet.
1,700,000,000
MlOO.flOO.OOO
..... uu,too,oas
Total pine ia PetiBtylf enl,...
Total hemlock "
Total hard wooda " ....
ToUlol all binda ll,Joo,o0,000
This shows a decline of 3,100,000,000
feet in four years. Many owners of
timber lands aro inclinod to dispute
the eslimalo by claiming that it ia too
high by at least 1,000,009,000 feet. It
would be natural that they should (lis
puto it, because if the impression could
be made that tho timber was being ex
hausted more rnpidly than it really is
their lands would be proportionately
enhanced in value. Careful observa
tion on the part of disinterested parties
show thut Mr. Lenta Is as nearly cor
rect in his estimates as it is possible, lo
mako them, From these figures it
will be seen that the pine lumber trade
of Pennsylvania is good for many
year to come, and when it is exhausted
the hemlock and bard woods are good
for twenty or thirty years more. It is
truo that, tho immense tanneries are
consuming enormous quanliliesof hem
lock, and that much is used for joist,
scantling and rough boards. For four
year past the reports of the Lumber
man's Kxcbango,ot Williamsport, show
an average of 25,000,000 feet ol hem
lock on band in tbe yards of the manu
facturers on tbo 1st of January, when
an account ol slock is taken. From
tbeso estimates it is sale to conclude
that tbo lumber trsOluol Pennsylvania
must continue to bo an important item
for al least a quarter of a century. As
time advances more economy is ob
served In consumption, becauso the
timber lands are passing into tbe bands
ol fewer owners. And whilst there
has been a great decline in tbo price
of manufactured lumber, there bas not
been a corresHnding shrinkage in the
price of timber lands.
CAPITAL INVtSTIu, MILLS, XTC.
Within tho past five years, as may
be seen by consulting the lublo of ship
ments, there has been a marked decline
in tbo quantity manufactured at Will
iamaport Four years ago there were
thirty saw mills, witb over 1,200 saws,
and employing 800 men. Their rapaci
ty was about 9,000,000 foot, 80,000
shingles, 185,000 lathaand 25,000 pick
eta a day of twelve hours. At tbo
present timo tboro are only about
twenty mill in otieratmn. Tbo bal-
anco aro standing idle, and several
have been burned down. Ititeslimatcd
by compotcnt authority that the
amount of capital invented in tho mills
now in operation will equal 11,000,000,
independent of tho investment of their
owner in timber lands. There are also
eleven planing mills now in operation, in
which tbe investment will reach 1200,-
000. Several aro also standing idle.
snniNKAoi in pain or i.tiMnrs.
Since 1873 there baa been a heavy
decline In tbe price of the best grades
of lumber. For instance, "aelocu and
better," that once commanded (60 per
- l thousand, will not bring mor than $35
to-day. Flooring i.t ono timo brought
1112 1 to day it will not brinir moro titan !
122 or 123. Barn boards once sold at
$18; to day llicy aro quoted at H3
and $14. Slock culls rulu at $10 and i
112. and sumolo uulla from $4 to $J
fiiciurer putt based heavily of tiniher
lands, and when lumber commenced to
decline thoy were unable to meet their
obligalioliaahd sud'ered severely, whilst
a few were crushed out. Tben,ugain,
Went llruncb manufacturora bad to
contend with the Michigan lumbermen,
who frcquenlly wero enabled lo under
sell them on account ot tbe discrimina
tion In freights. Considering ull tbe
draw backs thut haro exinli d tim e tho
urieis of 1873 begun, Willittliii-purt
inanufacttirent bavo held their own
very well, ami, although many thou
sands of dollars have been taetiflccd
aud a few firms bavo been swallowed
up, tbo trade shows some signs of im
provement to-day, and tbu outlook for
the future is not discouraging.
Wealthy manufacturers, w hocan afford
to ca.ry a heavy stock in their yards
and take advantage of a rising market
regard tbe situation with comparative
serenity and look lorward to better
limes with great confidence,
1170 lH ANDREW JL DILL t
Such is tbo innocent inquiry made
by a very "loyal" editor, who is an
swered by a cotemporary in this wuy :
"Not having the goo I fortune to in
herit dollui's and property from a most
worthy father, raievd in povcny and
huving to liHk to bis own cfWts tor
success, Andrew II. Dill is by inhcii
tuncu, instinct and cduculion I ho friend
of those who like himself have to but-
let the world for a livelihood and earn
their daily bread by hard work.
Though .bis district always contained
a considerable Republican mnjority,
tbo people thereof always elected biln
whenever opportunity offered. Tbcy
watched his course, they studied his
record, they keenly scanned his whole
conduct; his political opponent cba-
grinued by repeated defeat in their
stronghold, criticised his every act
with the ultuost desiro to find fault
and thus cripple or destroy him ; yet
such was lhe rectitude of his conduct
und his faithfulness to their interests,
that thosu hardy sons ol toil (though
politically opposed) four limes elected
Andrew 11. Dill to the Legislature
from Republican districts. There ho
was ever the friend and champion ol
popular lights and tbo best interests
of the people, the rank aud file, the
farmers, mechanics and laboring men
who elected him.
Our limits do not permit us to refer
to bis vote in detail, but if they bad
not been of tho unexceptional cbarae
ter and most thoroughly in tbo interest
oftho working people, liepuiilican
counties and districts would not have
repeatedly elected li'in to represent
them. That is the most ponitive proof
of tho purity and fidelity of bis official
hie, the propriety of bis voles, and the
patriotism of bis purposes. Such en
dorsements, under such circumstances,
ato alonce convincing aud overwhelm
ing evidence of great competency and
unquestionable integrity. From the
time ho passed the threshold to the
maturity of middle ago, Andrew II.
Dill has been prominent in tho public
view of bia constituents, and it is
therefore a proud thing to say that no
blemish rest upon his character, pub
lie or private. Always acting in pub
lie, and for tbe public, neither his
neighbor or othora could bo mistaken
in his character, and those neighbors
at all lime and under all circumstan
ce endorsed him. Such ia Andrew II.
Dill.
LOSasriTY OFSTA TE TREAS
UJiERS. (
It is remarkublo that all tbo gentle
men elected to tbe office of State Treas
urer in Pennsylvania during the last
thirty ycurs are yet living, with but
one exception, (ndcon J. Ball was
chosen by his own vote in tho Legisla
ture in January, 1810, and ia yet living
nd aclivo in brio. Ho aerved many
year in the House as a Whig and lie
publican, and always ranked among
tho ablest leaders of tho body.
John M. Iliekcl, of Schuylkill, cl-.-o-
tcd in 1850, haa resided in this city
since bia retirement in May, 1854, al
though now quite infirm In health. Ho
never held auy other office but that ol
Treasurer of Schuylkill county.
Joseph Bailey, ol Perry, was elected
in 1854, served ono year, and ie yet an
active man in business and politic in
the little mountain county. Tie once
represented Chester in tho Senate, and
was a Democratic Senator Irom Cum
berland and Perry, when he was chosen
Treasurer. Ho mado an effort for re
election In the Know-Nothing Legisla
ture of 1855, claiming to sympathize
with tbo new party, but was defeated.
In 1862 be was elected to Congress as
a Democrat, wa re-elected in 1864,
nco when ho haa acted with the Re
publican party, and was one of its most
useful delegate in the Into Constitu
tional Convention.
Eli Slifer was chosen by the Know
Nothing Legislature of 1855, defeating
Bailey in caucus largely, and waa
thrown out by the Democratic tucccss
that Fall that roversed tbe Legislature.
He bad been Representative and Sena
tor from tho Union district, and on tho
return of tho Republicans to power in
1859, ho waa again nominated over
Henry D. Monro in caucus, and was
elected and re elected the succeeding
year. Ho subsequently served tix
year at Secretary of tho Common
wealth during Curlin's two mcmorablo
administrations, and haa since lived in
retirement on bis farm in Union coun
ty. Like most other faithful State offi
cials who endured tho cxacliona of the
war, be left office shattered in health.
Henry 8. Magraw is the only one of
the enliro list si nco 1848 wbo hat gone
to tho " City of the Silent" Ho was
elected in 1856 and ro elected in 1857 8
He resided In Pittsburg when first
chosen Treasurer, subsequently moved
to Lancaster, and soon after bis retire
ment he located on a farm in Maryland,
and served aa a member of tbe legis
lature of that State. He died suddenly
of apoplexy aome eight years ago.
Henry D. Mooro waa elected in 1861
without a serious contest, and re elect
en tho next year ; but be waa displaced
by Democratic auccos in tbe Legisla
ture in 1863. In 1804 the Republican
recovered thoirascendancy, and elected
Mr. Moore for another term. He had
previously served four years In Con
grcas, arid was tbo unsuccessful Kepub-
lican candidate for Mayor against Mr.
Vaux in 18511. Hula now President
of the Permanent Kxliibilit.n in this
city.
William V. Mclirath wa sandwiched
Democratic Leitislalure ol ltM.3 and
retired in 1804. He baa several times
been tho caucus nominee of bis party
for tbe aame office, but tbe Itvpublicana
having uniformly controlled the Legis
lature from 1804 until tho office was
mado elective in 1873, be could not be
successful beyond the empty compli
ment. He ia now actively engaged in
passenger ruilwuy management in Ibia
city, always takes an active part in
politics and has been tbe candidate of
bis parly tor Congress in tbo rourlu
district against Kelley.
William II. Kemble waa chosen in
18C5, after an animated contest with
the lato Dr. Gross, of Pittsburg, in the
preliminary canvass, and waa ro-elocted
n 1800 and 1867. practically without
opposition. It was under uia adminis
tration that our tax system was re
vised, real eetato entirely exempted
and tho rapid reduction ot our debt in
auguratcd, lie baa never been a can
didate for any other office, and baa de
voted himself very successfully to
banking and local railways since bia
retirement, but always keeping bis
hand well in local, Slate and National
politics. He is tbo representative of
his party on the National Committee,
und I clieves in aggressivo Kepublican
luetics and that Hayes ia a fraud
W. V. Irwin succeeded Kemble in
1S08, and wa defeated in caucus the
following year by Hoberl W. Mackey.
The contest left much bitterness behind
it, and iu 1870, when Mackey waa re
nominated, Irwin boiled and was
elected by a combination of Democrats
aud dissulishcd Republican. Irwin
hits drifted out of active politics since
bis retirement, and is now living quietly
in Heaver county.
Mackey was re-elected by tbe Leg
islature to succeed Irwin in 1871, and
held over by a defect in the amend
ment to the Constitution providing for
an election by the people, until 1873,
when be was chosen by popular vote
for two years over Mr. Hutchinson, ot
Alleubeny. by a lariro majority. He
has, since bis retirement, removed from
Pittsburg to Philadelphia, where be
runs politics and passenger railways
with rtttber uncommon success. Ho
sustained heavy losses during his term
by the failuro of bankers holding Slate
deposits, but bia Iriends promptly made
ibo Treasury whole
Henry Hawle was elected in 1875
over Victor E. Piollel, and after serv
ing his term retired to his old residence
ill Krie.
Last Full A mot C. Noyea was elected
over William 11. Hart, Cashier of the
Treasury under Mackey and Rawle,
and is now engaged in the unpleasant
duty of bunting down the apparent
overissue of bonds, dating back a quar
ter of u century ago.
Ot the State Treasurer previous to
1848, two died within tbe last year-
James Ross Suowdcn, wbo was in office
from 1845 to 1847, and Daniel Slugcon,
who served from 1836 to 1810. There
has been less mortality in tbe circle of
Pennsylvania State Treasurer of the
last thirty years, than in any other
list of important State official. FhiUi'
