The people of the United States will,
within the next ten years, use UP all
their spruce, pine and hemlock timber
east of the Rocky Mountains. These
supplies are chiefly found in Maine, New
York, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Mime
sofa and Wisconsin. The supply in
Maine is nearly gone, and the people are
now using spruce as small as six inches
in diameter. Pennsylvania uses up 500,-
100000 feet of her diminishing stores
every year, and herremaining stock will be
gone in five years. Northern New York,
which has furnished 300, 1000 900 feet an
nuaIly, is likely to be appropriated by
the State for public park, when the sup
ply from that source will be cut off.
The draft upon Michigan last year, ow-
ing chiefly to one great fire, rose to the
enormous figure of 1910, 600, DOC feet.
This year it reaches 1000, 100000. Dur
the next twelve years, judging from the
past, this country will require TO- 000,-
600, 900 feet of lumber, and we have not
more than one-hnlf that amount remain
ing in the woods. So says writer who
pretends to know.

gresham Wilson, OF Indiana, has IN
troauced an admirable bill to regulate
fares and freights Oh railroads, and We
hope it will become law. 1t makes it
obligatory on the Union Pacific Railroad
Company, or any % its branches. to
carry any freight or passengers destined
for any station on the line of that road
or on the line of the Central Pacific road,
and to carry the same TO its destination
without unnecessary delay, and to charge
therefor no more per mile than is charged
per mile for freight or passengers carried
by said company over the entire length
OF its road. Any officers found to have
violated this law are to be deemed guilty
of misdemeanor, and. on conviction,
are to be found not exceeding 81, 900, TO
which may be added imprisonment for a
term not exceeding six months. Dis
ordinations in favor of passengers or
freight are also to be prohibited in like
manner.

SOME of the contingent expenses of
United States Senators are given by the
Boston Herald. 1t says:
1t seems that each Senator uses in a
session of four months 10 reams of note
paper, gross of steel pens, to say moth
ing of gold ones. s boxes of quilts, 3
quarts Of ink, 5000 ordinary envelops.
and other thousands Of fancy ones, and
bottles of mucilage. 1t took 3i3 pocket
knives to go round last year, though
100 were sufficient the year before,
which shows that last year was hard
one on knives; 1872 inkstands, 144 pairs
of scissors, sos boxes of French paper,
and card-cases, memorandum.books dia-
riss, ETC., were distributed. Among the
other articles consumed were "a gallons
of alcohol, II gallons of bay rum, gal
Ions of Cologne water, powder, hair oil,
cosmetics, dozen hat brushes, l3 dozen
combs, 50 spittoons, G7 dozen cakes Of
toilet soap, 80 pounds Of sponge, and 30
bottles of the extract of ginger. This
last must have been for the cure of SEN
atorial collie, and the sponges are prob.
ably to swab the statesmen down with,
after making their great efforts.

THE EVILS OF GAMBLING.

As between risking ones money at
licensed banking game and investing it
in stocks, solely for speculative purposes,
it is the belief Of many people whose
opinions are worth having that both the
morality and the profits are on the side
of the former. The law, in many of the
States, has been invoked to suppress
gambling at any game of chance, and
while the evils Of stock gambling are
probably as great a blight as the other
mode of seeking to obtain the money of
another without any adequate return,
there has been no law passed to put a
quietns upon it. But the evil of stock
gambling is wide spread, and it would
be blessing to all if some legislation
could be obtained to check it. The
Mining and Scientific Press takes a very
sensible view of the question, without,
however, suggesting any remedy for the
evil. 1t says:
We believe it perfectly legitimate to
purchase the stock OF any mining or
manufacturing company or organization,
with a view Of realizing reasonable or
even large profits or dividends, from
development, or increased value given to
products, by the labor bestowed upon
their manufacture. But when we See
men of probity and character, mel
whom it might be expected would lend
all reasonable aid to enterprises which
alone can give wealth and permanent
prosperity TO the State, turning their
attention to, and using their means in
simply buying one day and selling the
next. the stock of some wildcat mining
or other company, with no other object
than buying low and selling high, build
ing their own fortune on the ruin Of their
friend who may chance to be the loser,
it becomes matter of doubtful propri-
ETY. il not of morality, and scarcely de-
serves a nilder term than public gam
bling.
We would not, however. interpose OBJ
jections solely on this ground, every man
being the keeper of his own character
and conscience, and the city of San
Francisco is the protector of its reputa-
ton as against gamblers. But look al
the ability, the energy, the business
talent, the capital in money, and the
great good to the industries of the Stat,
that might accrue, all withdrawn, locked
up in the brains and pockets of four o
five hundred men daily assembled at tn
corners of California and Montgomsr
streets.
Is it any wonder that San Francisc
should lose her prestige as the que.l
commercial city OF the Pacific, or tina
interior projects for the development o
the State industries and interest
should languish? The wonder only is
that with so much of the cash capital o
San Francisco entangled in the meshe
of hazardous stock specuations, there i
enough left for the development of ever
the few industries which are now ant
then inaugurated in our midst.

THE GREAT NEWSPAPER ROW IN
SAN FRANCISCO.

Our readers have been kept advised by
telegraph of the great row between the
editors and proprietors OF the Chronicle
and those OF the Sum- and we have given
also, the article from the Chronicle
which brought on the difficulty Satur-
day mornings Chronicle published an
article stigmatizing the editor, as well as
the proprietor, of the Sun as everything
that was despicable and infamous, and
that afternoon rejoinder was published
by the Sun, of which the Alta. OF Sun
day, says:
Severe as was the attack in the Chron-
icle, the evenings issue Of the Sun
electrified every one by the method it
adopted of retaiating for the attack made
upon it by the morning paper. The
news ran abroad that the editors of the
Sun had q scathiHg editorial of column
and half purperting to be history of
the lives and times of the proprietors of
the Chronicle, but worse than all, had
resortsd to the degradation of introducing
into the account mention, in unpardon-
hDis ltriNS, VI tue mother anu sisters oil
the publishers of the Chronicle. The
affair soon became noised about, and the
office of the Sun was besieged by news
boys and others wishing to obtain
copies of the paper, and soon the first
edition was exhausted.
Neither the Call or the Chronicle Of
Sunday has a word concerning the affair
of Saturday. The Alta, after giving a
brief account Of the disgraceful affair,
winds up with some very appropriate
remarks on personalities in journalism,
saying:
The affair of yesterday is one of the
results OF the brutal use of personalities
in journalism, against which the COM
munity has often protested but allowed
its protests to be disregsrdsd. Now that
it has eliminated in an emanation too
gross to be tolerated-now that life has
been jeopardized--it is to be hoped that
the people will throw off their sluggish
ness and stamp their disapproval OF at
tacks on private character. An example
has been set in making wholesale arrests,
and it should hereafter be the duty of
every citizen, wheu maligned, to in
woke the aid of the law in the same
manner.

facts stated by the Worcester Mass. J
Press, the first will apply to the tax
payers, the second to Congressman
There was once President who was
once little boy, too. He learned many
things when be was in school, but he did
not learn to be punctual. After he had
grown to be man and had been elected
President OF this great and growing
country, one day he had q duty to per.
form ; but his habits of delay still clunp
to him, and he put off that duty for eigh,
days. And during the time he was de.
laying to sign the salary repeal Act, the
Congressman were drawing an extra
81 II per day, which in the aggregate
amounted to S21 ,000-the price of eight
days delay. Always be punctual.

were coming from Psnguitch. when be.
tween upper and lower Bear Valley, the

partially washed away by the river, and
fell down 10 feet perpendicular into the

was killed.; Mrs. Marshall was badly
hurt. and held down with the edge
Of the wagon-box on her throat for sew
eral hours. Marshall being sick at the
time, was unable to extricate himself
from the things that were on him, and
was drowned. Tho accident occurred
about o'clock p. m Mrs. Marshall
was relieved from her painful situation
about 4 O'Clock p. m, by persons going
to Panguitch. where she was conveyed,
with the dead body Of her husband.
