Tne style ol Indian warlare Is utterly in

A recent lumberman's olrcular estimated
the number of railroad lies In present use
la tbe Untied State at 140,000,000. A
cut ol 200 lie to the acre Is above rather
tbao under the average, and It therefore
bas required tbe produol of 730,000 so tee of
well timbered land lo furoiab tbe supply.
Railroad tie last about tire years; 'conse
quently 30,000,000 tie ar used annually
for repairs, taking tbe timber from 150,0(0
aores. Tbe manufacture of rolling slock
disposes of Ibe eotire yield of 350,000 acres
and lull supply of nearly 500,000 acres more
every year. It appears, then, tbat our
railroads are stripping ibe couotry at tb
rate of 1,000,000 acre per annum; and
their demands arc rspidly Increasing.
