A close-fsted New Highlander was
lately importuned for a loan by a
needy and seedy individual, but thus
refused to accede to the demand :
Not copper, If you are hard up,
why don't you 0drertiSe? That's the
way Barnum made all his money"
This may be fiction, but there is.
nevertheless, vast amount of truth
about it. Judicious advertising is
the sure and royal road to wealth, as
few scores of patent vendors can
testify. 1t holds good in other cases
as well.

An Immense Timber Region.

William A. Howard of Grand Rapids,
Mich, delivered lecture in that city
on his recent western trip. The following
extract from the lecture gives some idea
of the timber region around aud fbout
Puget Sound:
There is more lumber around Puget
Sound than | ever saw before There is
one channel called Hood Channel; that
seems to run from Port Townsend, sixty
or seventy miles towards the Columbia
river, and perhaps not averaging over
half a mile wide, and if 'one-half of
what the people say about the timber
growing there was true, and it was here
in this market, would build the Northern
Pacific Road. The timber is fir and pine.
There are three kinds, the white, yellow,
and the red, the red pr1dominating. 1t
has a course grain, more like hemlock,
but is free from knots, and the wood be-
tween the seams, that seperate the layers
is of a red color and soft. This kind of
a tree grows to an enormous size. In
deed, all that the timber thieves think
of, and exert their ingunuity for, is to
find trees small enough to handle to
advantage, not liking to grapple with the
big ones. We went through portion
OF this forest when we went to Olympia
by stage, and it was very rare to 6ud a
tree as small as three feet at the butt
They we're from six, seven, eight and
sometimes nre and ten feet through at
the but and marvelously tall, some two
hundred and fifty feet high.
"What would you say if stated that
| saw tree that would make an amount
Of lumber more than an average Of five
acres in Michigan? Every one that
knows pine lumber lands in Michigan
knows that 10000 fec is more than the
average, the whole pine lands of the
State, perhaps 5000 would be the fair
average. At 10000, five acres would
have 0,000 feet. Now suppose we take
a tree ten feet through; that ought to
square six feet, a piece Of square tim
Der one foot in length would contain
thirty-six cubic feet, or of board 1872
feet. Suppose you went on in that way
until you had worked up 200 feet, you
would have 200 times 432 feet, that is
Sc, 400 feet, aud then you have seventy
or eighty feet beyond that left. saw
there trees ten feet through at the butt
sound as they could be, straight as an
arrow, and more than $50 feet high. 1t
does not make good finishing lumber as
it is coarse. But all over there are nu-
merous white cedars which even grow en-
| the Islands, dud which uuaLo very fuc
finishing lumber. l was told at Oily mpiu
that this white cedar lumber bought SIC
per NJ at Portland"

The Old and the New.

AS every one knows the old year Of
1872 is gone aud the new year of 1873
is upon us, and to all our readars we
most heartily wish not only Happy
New ear, but happy and prosperous
year. BY force of habit we talk about
the old year, when in fact it is but the
continuous flowing on of the river OF
time, the steady, even, calm, but constant
going forward of all things. Once in
three hundred aud sixty-ive days, we
seem to pause to look about us, to see
how we'll we have done our years work,
and whether we have made any advance
in our affairs for time at any rate, il
not for eternity. We want to stick new
stakes in the form of good resolutions
for our governance through the year just
begun. Well how many Of the resou-
tions formed on the first day of January
1872 can any one of us now recall. A
moment ago we said, "wc seem to pause,
but we stop not; on we whirl, add our
resolutions with us, each second, minute,
hour, day, week and month, the resolu-
tions sinking lower in the depths OF mem
ory, and soon we are very much like our
selves again, and very much like other
people too, morally and socially. Once
in three hundred and sixty-five days we
have strong desire TO be alone with the
memories of some others Of the three
hundred and sixty-fve days of our lives
This time we rumage among the assso-
Citations of the past; and memory calls
up many form and face with which we

and involuntarily we ask are they here?

as to all of them absent Well as to all

tions are asked, and answered as we an

The Oil Rings.

For some time past the oil producers
and refners have been trying to combine
in some way or other TO bolster up the
price OF oil. In time past these two
classes OF oil men have mixed as readily
as oil and water, and the following from
the "Oil City Derrick rather indicates
that in the future the probabilities OF
mixturs will be equal to the past. The
Derrick says:
We may set it down as settled al last
that the Producers Council is failure.
This is not necessarily disparagement
of it; we do not now charge that its
members were lacking 10 devotion, sa-
gacity or courage. The trouble is they
tried to accomplish an imposibilty; they
tried to bolster up the price while pro-
duction is increasing; tried to increase
the speed and The load OF the machine
at the same time; tried to lift themselves
over the oily chasm by their boot straps.
Producers have been keeping oneeye on
their busy drills and the other on their
Council, expecting the latter 10 justify
the former by some mirical Of trade In
deed it seems to us that the assembling
of the Council to contrive how oil might
be increased in price was the signal for
increased development; the producers
discounted what they hoped the Council
might accomplish. OF course there must
be an end to this attempt to achieve the
immpossible. 1t would be well if we
could say that they gave up the attempt
squarely and manly. But they made an
attempt to realize S. oil by co-part-
nership with their old enemies-a CO.
partnership that neither in its terlas or
elements is creditable to the producers
who favored it. 1t can not remedy the
evils of over production. 1t can not
no combination can make 10000 bar
rels of oil worth 100000 when the
world wants and can use only $4,000
barrels. This incestuous union between
the refners and producers, not being able
20 meet the main question, can only help
to defer the evil day. Even if it could
tide over the wave of disaster for sixty
days, it would plunge the producer into
aworse maelstorm at the end, if devel-
opment proceeds as at present.
So the producers all may as we'll turn
their backs on councils. combinations
and patent processes for getting pay for
without selling it, and face the peril
like men. These are the two horns of
the dilemma.

gloss and freshness Of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, SO that a new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling of, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandruff, which is often so un-
cleanly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it rich, glossy
lustre, and a grateful perfume.
