Q7f How to Give Value to the Timber of the hemlock Bark Lands of rennsvl Tanla. r A mbma lr Tifibwin CI ttnlmltw r XT n w York City, before the reoent Tanners' Conven tion at Harrisburg. Pa. (Concluded.) In this and many other ways the hemlock lumber trade of Maine has the advantage of ua. They need not necessarily sell at less price, and I do not think they do as a general rule that is, the quoted prices of hemlock in Maine are not lower than in Phila delphia and Albany. But, by reason of manufacturing their lumber at tide water, they can utilize, all their slabs and ordinary wastage, and ''saw to order," which gives them a great ad vantage over us. Hemlock lumbermen everywhere will understand thedifference between one dollar made on each thousand and fifty cents lost. The one encourages and builds up trade, the other kills business and ruins all concerned From some personal knowledge of the hemlock lumber trade, as pursued on the Delaware river, in the State of New York, its branches and tribu taries, for the past fifty years, I am free to say that it has been a business Involving great labor and no profit, while the hemlock lumbermen of Maine have had a profitable business, and always been able to pay the owner of the land fully fifty cents, and often as high as two dollars stumpnge for their logs. If the lumbermen of Penn sylvania are unable to handle with profit the millions of feet of logs now rotting in the woods it is because the policy of the State forbids such use of the streams as will allow them to han dle this cheap lumber to advantage The laws relating to this intrest are friendly to the rafting of lumber, but it seems to have been taken for granted that this mode of forwarding lumber is better than to float unsawed timber to where it can be made available to better advantage than at present. It is believed that such preference is the result of indifference or want of atten tion to the whole subject rather than to a well-formed conviction that there are no better methods. It is with this conviction that I have invited atten tion to the State of Maine method of lumbering, as applicable to our portion of Pennsylvania. Hemlock lumber must be sold cheap that is, it must be offered at a low price, if it is to enter into universal use by farmers and builders. What we waut to do is, not to study how to raise the price of manufactured hem lock lumber, but, rather, to furnish it at such low rates as will induce, in the first instance, and finally compel, the farmers of Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, and other States bordering on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, to build barns and sheds for their cattle, and inclose their fields with fences made of hem lock pickets and boards, and at a cost so low that they will find it impossible to get along without securing the ad vantages which the farmers in the older nnd better cultivated States have experienced from the use of thischeap lumber. For frames and coarse siding hemlock is now almost universally used by those who have access to it. It, however, is little known through the South and West. This lumber has been peesented to them either at so high a cost, or in such unsightly garb, as to repel all attempts at its general adoption. COST OF HEMLOCK LUMBER. What will be the cost of hemlock lumber manufactured ut or near Pitts burgh, from logs floated down the Al leghany and its tributaries? Cost of stumpnge (per 1,000 feet) t. $ 50 l uumganu HtocKing IM Driving and booming 1 UO Manufacturing or suwing 2 00 Cost delivered on flat boats $5 00 The question I wish to propound to the dealers aud consumers of lumber on all the Western rivers is this : If you could always depend upon a sup ply of clean, merchantable hemlock lumber at Pittsburgh at $5 per thous and, how much more of it could you consume than you do now? I think the answer would be such as made to me by a Kentucky farmer within a few months. He said : "It would be a 'god send' to the cattle of Indiana and Kentucky if the farmers could get cheap lumber and shingles, for in that case many farmers would house their stock, whereas now the cattle stand shivering for three months of the year in the cold." I shall be reminded that I have made no provision for profit in furn ishing lumber at five dollars, at Pitts burgh. My answer is that neither does our present system furnish any profit at eight dollars. But in this es timate I have made no claim for the value of what is now wasted, slabs, etc., from which pickets, lath and shingles can be made to great advan tage j when the product of this refuse is so near a market, it is claimed that it alone will pay the whole cost of run ning and booming. It must be re membered that, with our present im proved method of obtaining power, the sawdust alone will give all the power needed for manufacturing, so that, whether this is done at Pittsburgh or at the head waters of our streams, as now, the cost of power is the same; but, instead of burning the slabs and edgings in open fires, as is now the practice, all these would be utilized and made to pay a large share of the expense of manufacturing. t What would be the immediate and remote effect of this new method of handling hemlock upon present mills, and mill interests? -Beyond supply ing the local trade and such inland consumers us can only be reached by railroads, these mills at the head wa ters of our streams would go into dis use. And why should they not? As at present managed they are of no profit to their owners. It is an ojeu secret that no mill owner who lias been running his man ufactured lumber off by either rail or water is as well off as he would have been if he had allowed his mills to standstill, as most of them are now doing, and he has no right to think he is to have any better result In the future. The competition from the West, of the lower grades of pine, to gether with the prejudice against hem lock covered with dirt and oil, has ren dered all efforts in the present manner almost hopeless. What is then wanted to introduce this bettor way of manufacturing hem lock lumber Is to secure from the Leg islature of Pennsylvania a law au thorizing logs to be thrown into all the streams emptying into the Allegheny river, under such conditions and re straints as will not materially inter fere with any of the uses at presenten Joyed, but will, at the snme time, fur nish a cheap highway for all logs to pass down these waters until they become navigable by boats. In addition to this general permission there should be formed log-driving and booming com panies for each oftheprincipalstreams; or, what would be far better, there should be one general company to be known as the "Allegheny Log Driving and Booming Co.," which would in lncludeall the tributary streams. Be cause there has been one booming com pany which has beenasourceof great profit to a few monopolists, we should not be deterred from having another. Indeed, the unfortunate experience In regard to the Wil llonisport boom would enable us to ask for such form of legis lation as would be sure to avoid the monopoly features of that one. I ven ture to think, availing ourselves of the experience and even the forms of char ter granted in the State of Maine, that a company could be formed with its capital so distributed, and with such limitations as to dividends, that it would be equally acceptable to lumber men aud boom owners. PRACTICAL WOUK1NOOF THISSYSTEM. The hemlock logs would be cither thrown into or placed on the banks of all the tributary streams. Each own er's logs would have a registered mark. Generally these logs would be bought up by the mill owners or large opera tors, for it would beundesirableforany one man to handle his own logs down at Pittsburgh unless he was a large holder. But, however this might be, the log driving company would give notice of the day their drive would start from given points say at Ridg way on the Clarion for this company would not, as a rule nttempt to go up the small streams for their drive, but would confine themselves to streams having volume of water enough to easily lloat thelargest logs inany ordi nary high water. The "storage" or "booming" need not be at any one place, but might lie at a dozen or more, wherever the Clarion or large tribu tary rivers, within ten or fifteen miles of the mills mi;;ht favor. From these booms logs could be loosely rafted and towed by small steamers or tugs to the mill booms, as they were wanted, and according to the marks and ownership. The log driving companies of Maine deliver each man's logs in the "mill booms;" either this could be done as there during the season of sawing, or the undertaking on the part of the company could be confined to the boomsalong thcrivers, without under taking to deliver at the mills. There can be no difficulty in nioviug logs in the Allegheny anywhere below where the Clurion enters, and somewhere ftom this point to Pittsburgh, no doubt, it would be found expedient to place the mills, which should be at such point on the Allegheny river as can be reached by small steam tugs and flat boats during most or all parts of the summer season. The large trade these mills would build up would jus tify the strongest competition for their presence. A population as large as Williamsport would result almost im mediately from the influence of these mills, for, although the aggregate amount of lumber manufactured, in money value, would be less, the amount of labor to produce It would be quite as great as at the lattercity, and, when we consider the amount of flat boattonnage which would be required to carry this lumber down the river, we may safely assume that this indus try would be ample for a new city on the Allegheny. IS THERE DEMAND FOR THIS LUMBER ? I am credibly informed that new, fresh hemlock lumber, sawed to order, would sell at present for nine dollars per thousand In reasonable quantities, but at six dollars per thousand there would he a much increased demand. The practical questions, in conclu sion, are these: Shall the hemlock timber of Northern Pennsylvania, which is now lying in the woods rot ting, be sent down the rivers to con sumers that will be greatly benefited by receiving it? Shall we give labor to thousands of men now idle? Shall we add five dollars' value to each acre of hemlock forest land of Northern Pennsylvania? Shall we make it pos sible for the tanner to continue his calllug with profit by permitting him todivide the cost of buying and clear ing the forest lands with the lumber men? The hemlock counties of Penn sylvania are among the richest of the State, If her legislators will only ap preciate the fact, but the poorest if neg lected in the future as in the past. The National -Green back -Labor State Committee met at Harrisburg, on Tuesday afternoon, for the purpose of nominating candidates for Judge of the Supreme Court and Lieutenant Governor, Judge Buntley, of Lycoming county, having declined the former, and Christopher Shearer, of Berks county, the latter.
