The facts and figure contained in
the forthcoming V. S. Censúa Hurcau
bulletin on lumber, lath and shingle
in 190K. discloses In most striking
manner the adverse conditions obtain
ing In the lumber industry during that
year. The annual federal report on
the statistics of forest products is
compiled by n rommlttee of experts
from tho census bureau and the for
est service. The census I repre
sented by W. M. Stewart, chief sta
tlstlrlan for' manufactures, nnd J. fc.

while R. . Kellogg, assistant forester,
and A. II. I'terson. forest assistant,

pt ice.
Wisconsin and Michigan, with de
creare of about one-fifth, held fifth
and seventh places, respectively, In
both years. In recent year the pro
duction In Michigan has been decrens
Ing steadily, falling In 1907 below the
two billion mark for the first time In
nearly forty years. Since 1S80, how
ever, Michigan has cut nearly 100
billion feet of lumber, a production
which has not been approached by
that of any other state.
The output in Wisconsin. Ita nearest
competitor during the same period.
wh probably lesa than 75 billion 'feet.
The reported output in Georgia was 6
per cent greater in 1908 than 1907,
This apparent increase, however, was
due chiefly to the fact that, through'
the aid of special agents In obtain
ing reports from delinquent manufac
turers, a fuller canvass of tho mills
was secured in 1908 than in tho pre
vious year. Small Increases in output
are also shown for Idaho, Massachu
setts, Oklahoma, l.'tah and Wyoming.
Yellow pine had been far In the
lead as a lumber producer for more
than a decade previous to 1908. and
this supremacy was more than main
tained In that yeur, when Us cut
amounted to 33.8 per cent of the total
cut from nil species, and In spite of u
decrease of 1.978.813,000, or 15 per
cent, 111 the output in this Fpccles In :
1908 a compared with 1907. Douglas

or about 25 per cent each. Tho d
crease in spruce, 18.2 per cent, was
close to the average decrease for all
species, and I lie reported cut of west
ern Pine was less than in 1907 by 18.5
per cent. Only flight decreases oc
curred In maple and cypress. A de
crease of 24.2 per cent in the cut of
yellow poplar caused this wood to
drop from ninth place in 1907 to tenth
place in 190S. Decreases which were
heavier than the average occurred in
redwood, Cottonwood nnd white fir.
while Increased cuts were reported
for elm, cedar, larch, tamarack, bal
sam fir, túpelo, walnut nnd cherry.
Concerning the shingle production
In 1907 and 1 908 by specie. It Is
stated that for every kind of wood, ex
cept chestnut, the uvcrage value in
1908 wis less than in 1907. The av
erage value of shingle ir all species
was ll.Hfi per thousand In 1900; fl.iR
In 1904. $2.04 In lilOfi, 12. SS in 1 907.
and $2.00 In I!MtS. Nearly 76 per cent
or more than 9 billion of the shingles
munufai turcl In 1908 were of cedar.
Of these the western cedars furnished
about 7.Caa.()(iu.0OO, or nearly 83 per

neither corn, cotton nor wheat, but
human beings, Is the surprising stute
men just mode here as the result of
recent Investigations. According to
the figure which have been compiled
the population of New York alone
taken only as human units capable of
creating and producing is worth
twenty times the national debt, while
for the whole t'nlted States thf
flgure reaches the enormous total of
$250.000.000,000. Compared to this
a billion-dollar corn crop sink Into
insignificance. Careful tabulation
have been made show ing the net cash
value of u human being at various
ages. At birth, according' to Ibes'
figure, the value Is $90; at the age
of five, $950; and at the end of the
first decade $2.000. From the ages
of twenty to thirty tho human being !
Is most valuable, having 11 net cash !
worth us n producer of $4,000, at '
the former age, and $4.100 at the hit-1
tcr. At fifty the value of the human i
unit hus declined to $2.900, while at:
the age of 80 years the figure is 111 In- ,
us $700. the unit not only having lost (
its productive power, but being a
burden on the producers as well. The , PedeStl 311

tude of the latter figure being ac- !
counted for by the mature age and the
nrrce;ondmgly greater value of
many of the victims. Of those 1,500,-

"This is the most unfortunate thing
that could every have befell our
party," .-.aid a prominent democrat
of the county In apea king of the sit
uation to a Morning Journal reporter.
"And." he' ciintinued, "the unfortun

Clcivls and Curry county are not go

trickery empbiyert by one lone man,

The goal for which Judge Worrall

this will not be settled until the dele

point.

A curious Incident occurred al the

According to Lieutenant Wagner. Un

Some of the men treated their d- -!

that they would take the matter up
with the secretary of war.
A rurtous -feature of the case is
that nearly $400 was gathered Irani
