How the National Forests Will Partly Offset the Coming : Shortage. ; The production of lumber, lath he shingles in the United States in 1906 was the largest ever recorded. A cen- sus bulletin recently issued gives 3715 billion feet as the actual cut of the 21 - 000 mills which made reports. This is seven billion feet more than the cut re- ported in 1905. These figures at first seem to point to a very alarming coneclusion—that the country had in the last year cut more than 23 per cent. more lumber than in 1905, in the face of the fast waning supply. The difference is, how- ever, chiefly due to the fact that 21,000 concerns have roported their cuts as against less than 12,000 a year ago. The gain is the result of responses from the smaller mills, and because the rank and file of the lumbermen now appreciate that these returns are im- portant to the trade, and that their value depends upon everybody helping to make them as complete as possible If the returns were complete they would probably show a cut of forty bil- lion feet for lumber alone. The cut of lumber forms perhaps 40 per cent. of the total timber consumption for all purposes. The figures are alarming enough, taken in connection with our available supply of wood. The total amount of merchantable timber in the United States is belived to be less than 2,000 billion feet. If the demand could be kept stationary, and no timber were fires,- we should have twenty years from now only what our forests would have grown in the interval. Three-fourths of the population of the country is east of. the Mississippi, but more than half of the timber sup- ply is west of it. The West has in its forests material to last it for nearly fifty years, if its per capita consumption is no greater than that of the country at large, and if it can hold itself down to the same annual total. This, how- ever, takes no account of the demands which a developing country makes. But the East has not enough saw tim- ber of its own to last fifteen years. In point of fact the East is already draw- ing so heavily upon the Northwest for lumber that the railroads have trouble to handle the traffic. The position which Douglas fir holds illustrates the West’s rapid progress toward becoming the principal source of supply of saw timber, and the falling off in the pro- duction of Eastern states which for- merly held first place. Douglas fir now ranks second only to yellow pine in total cut, and yields about one-half. as much lumber. Never before has it outranked whité pine, which for many years stood first, and later second. Just as white pine had to give way to southern yellow pine, this in its turn will be superseded by Douglas fir, which is also known as red fir and Oregon pine. It is found nowhere east of the Rocky Mountains, and by far the great- est quantity of it in Otegon and Washington. : The passing of the white pine of the Lake states is emphasized by the statis- tics gathered by the census, which in 1870, 1880, and 1890 showed Michigan is the leading state in total production of | | ramber. | relative position was not changed until | 1904, whén Washington | the-tomsof the column and Louisiana | was third, with Wisconsin second and | Minnesota and Michigan fourth and | | fifth. Louisiana now takes { place, while Wisconsin goes down from | second to third and Minnesota from | fourth to seventh. and Mississippi | Arkansas have moved up to the fifth and sixth places, while Michigan goes | | [to fourth. New York, in 1850, led all the states | in the production of lumber. Pennsyl- | vania rose to first place ten years later, and New York dropped to second. In the period following the Civil war, the rapid extension of railroads brought into market the great white pine for- ests of the Lake states, and the chief source of supply moved thither. Mich- igan first, then Wisconsin, went to the front. When Washington supplanted the latter, the leadership had crossed the continent. In fifty years it passed from an Atlantic to a Pacific Coast state. The holding of first rank in produc- tion by a state does not locate the country’s chief source of supply. Wash- ington now stands first among the states, yet the South is supplying more lumber than the West. But the mag- nificent yellow pine forests of the South are being rapidly cut and mark- eted, just as was done with the white pine forests of Michigan and Minnesota during the thirty years following. 1870. But the Pacific coast will soon be the chief source of supply. The policy of the Government in cre- ating National Forests in the West, taken in connection with the favorable climate and topographical conditions for the growth of trees, insures a future supply which will be greatly to the West’s advantage. When the inevit- able time of timber shortage arrives, the cost of transportation in the long haul across the continent will aid the West in supplying its own needs first. The National Forests must be first of all for the supply of western needs. The East had originally the bulk of the country’s forests. It has largely wast- ed them. The West has now a consid- erable’p provision for the futuré. The presence of the National Forests will insure for all time a permanent supply of material for wood-using industries in the West, although the actual hold- ings of the Federal Government in themselves are by no means sufficient to furnish all the timber which will be needed. They will also have an in- fluence in encouraging private holdings of timberlands to take care of them in a way that will keep them in a produc- tive state. The question what to do for timber that can not be had 'in needed quantities is likely to become acute in the East. — THE B. & 0. AGAINST BOOZE. Courts of Fayette. and Somerset, Report Says, Will be Asked to Prohibit Sale of Liquor to Men on Duty. Following the policy adopted several months ago, that of discouraging use of too much booze by its employes, the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, it is said on reliable authority, will appeal to the courts for assistance in stamping out this dangerous evil. According to the reports, the courts of Fayette and Somerset counties will be asked for a special ruling to hotel keepers, that they refuse to furnish liquor to railroad men when it is known they are on duty or it is believed they are. It is said that some railroad men have made a practice of taking liquor on their engines and cabooses and drink it while dat work.” This the com- pany strenuously objects to and is do- ing everything possible to prevent it. During the past few months any num- ber of men on the Pittsburg and Con- nellsville division have been laid off 30, 60 and 90 days for over indulgence in the stuff that tangles wits. - In justice to the splendid railroad men, good citizens of Connellsville and other places on the Connellsville and Pittsburg divisions, it can be said in justice that that they are in the large majority, and the recent booze crusade of officials was made against that class of employes who were inclined to look upon the flowing bowl too often.

State Dairy and Food Commissiones Foust has laid nown new rules under | the new pure food law, especially rela~= tive to fish and meats offered for sale {in summer. All such food must he | covered and protected from flies and | insects by screens. Any weat or fish kept for sale in any | other manner will be held to be a vie- lation of the law. This will be the first | time such requirements have been laid down for the sale of such provisions The commission believes that it will de much toward preventing possible ill- ness. The lard requirements are that any foreign substance will be considered am adulteration. As to fruit and nut ice cream, they must be true to name, ne matter whether fresh or canned fruit or nuts are used, and must contain nat less than 10 per cent. butter fat, to- gether with sugar, eggs and a small amount. of gelatine, not exceeding three ounces to ten gallons of cream. The meat law is a good one. but meat dealers should also be compelled by law (if they do not have enough clear- iiness and common decency about them to do so voluntarily) to protect their knives, saws, cleavers, blocks, counters, etc, from the filth of flies. There is nothing more sickening than to see meat cut with tools all begrimed with fly manure. When people have to pay the enormous present-day prices for meat, they have a right to clean goods, and the shops should be kept in good sanitary condition at all times. People should insist on having their meat cut with tools free from fiy specks. CURED THREE OF THE FAMILY WITH ONE BOTTLE OF CHAM- BERLAIN’S COLIC, CHOLERA AND DIARRHOEA REMEDY. “I purchased a bottle of Chamber- lain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoes Remedy, and found it to be all claimed for it in the advertisements. Three of the family have used it with good re- sults in summer complaint.”—H. BE. Howe, publisher of the Press, Highland, Wis. For sale at Miller's Drug Store. 8-1 - te SAVING THE ELK. The decision of the Fits, conven- tion at Philadelphia, to abandon the elk’s tooth as the emblem of the order will cause much satisfactidn to lovers of the animal which is justly referred to as “noble.” If this resolution had not been taken, in the opinion of the taxidermist of New York's Museum of Natural History, “the demands for teeth to supply the society with em- blems would have utterly exterminated the elk in this country in 10 years.” The deplorable slaughter of the buffala as has been pointed out, due te the commercial value of the hides and horns, but in the case of the elk the animals were slain solely for their teeth, and their bodies were left to rot One hunter in the Olympic mountaing reports having seen 100 dead elk in =z single valley, where they had been left afterthe slayers had removed the teeth At another place 40 elk were driver over a high precipice to their death. While the recent letter of President Roosevelt on the subject may have in- fluenced some of the members of the Elks in their decision, it is known that the question of adopting a new emblem had been agitated for some time. The Elks are proverbially good-natured and kind-hearted fellows, and they requir- ed no urging to sacrifice a pretty senti- ment in order to save a noble race of animals from extinction. It has been suggested that their unselfish action should not be without its influence or the women of the country who persist in aiding the destruction of bird life by wearing plumes on their hats. Cer tainly the Elks have set an example which might be followed profitably by other friends of the animal kingdom —Pittsburg Gazette Times, G. B. BURHANS TESTIFIES AFTER FOUR YEARS. G. B. Burhans, of Carlise Center, N. Y., writes: ‘About four years ago I wrote you stating that I had been ep- tirely cured of a severe kidney trouble by taking less than two bottles of Foley’s Kidney Cure. It entirely stop- ped the brick dust sediment, and pair and symptoms of kidney disease disap- peared. I am glad to say that T have never had a return of any of those symptoms during the four years that have elapsed, and I am evidently cured to stay cured, and heartily recommend Foley’s Kidney Cure to any one suffer- ing from kidney or bladder trouble.” Sold by all Druggists. 8-1 —— il rr e— M&F WEDDING Invitations at Tag STAR office.
