RAYMOND & ELr.-Yestcrday we took
a trip TO the Raymond & Ely works and
found the mechanics and workmsn very
busy getting the great pumping engine
into place. II differs from the usual
form in that tho cylinder forms part
Of the body Of the bed. so that the strain
caused by the thrust Of the piston rod
will be in the very center instead of
above the bed. The cylinder and bod is
in place and also the pump-bob. the
reel and many other portions Of the
massive machinery. The crank shaft
has not yet arrived but isexpectsd daily.

A SLoEpRusn Foarsr.-F. W. Blake
OF wiDnemucca, Nevada, who has recent
ly been on an exploring expedition on
tho headwaisrs OF Little Humboldt, says
that between the north and main forks
Of that stream there is an extensive for
est Of sagebrush. He says that II covers
al lcnst 1900 acres, and in the matter OF
size beats anything he has ever seen or
heard Of in the sagebrush line. The
brush Is from fivo TO seven feet high.
and the wood to q height Of three or
four feet from the ground. will average
six inches in diameter. II would make
excellent fire wood. and IL nearer the
railroad would be quite valuable for that
purpose.

Lawyers Fees.

The lawyers who are fighting in the
Beecher-Tilton case, a correspondent says,
are not only working for pay, but for fame
1t is admitted that whoever triumphs here
will at once achieve cosmopolitan distinc-
ton. The question has been raised in this
connection whether there can be any limi-
tation to the fees demanded by our popular
lawyers? ? Field and Shearman have rem
dered a bill Of $4,000 against the estate
of the late james Fisk. Shearman is now
Beecher's lawyer Lawyers fees have
reached a state which, when compared with
the past, seem almost fabulous In 1915
Ogden Hoffman charged New York city
81 900 for attending in an important case.
1t was considered extortionate, but now ten
times that amount would be small Beach
demands $4,000 for an important case,
and has enough to keep him busy all the
time. Governor Tildcn was attorney in one
case in which his fees were, as is carefully
calculated, 100000 The fees in the
Parish will case are estimated at an equal
sum. Half as much was paid a noted law
yer for services in settling the Rose will
case. There are Il number of estates now
in settlement whose attorneys will draw
$4,000 from their clients for services.
This golden glory Of the legal profession,
which exce!s that of all others, is the rea-
son why lawyers strike for notice. y name

Tilden, next to Charles O'Conor, has en-
joyed long as well as lucrative practice,

Forest Trees.

Every day reveals some new evidence of
the thoughtless and forcboding destruction
of forest trees throughout the country
Indiana crop Of black walnut unequaIlcd
in quantity and quality, but to-day it is
not to be fonnd in such immense trees,
neither is the number of trees by any
means so numerous. The largest and best
trees were used years ago for fence rails
and such common purposes then it had
no particular commercial value Before
walnut came into general use, the most Of
domestic furniture was made of cherry
walnut has now entirely superseded this
and all other woods. Thousands of fence
rails can be found to-day through Indiana
that were split more than half century
ago, and they are as sound now as then,
save the wear and tear. OF all hard woods
the walnut is the most durable, save red
cedar, and possibly, in the ground black
locust would equal it. Our walnut is com
paratiycly gone. In isolated parts Of the
country, where this timber grows, there is
yet ofsome inferior quality, but to limited
extent. But the black walnut growing in
the deep forest, in the rich lowlands, in its
primitive nature, is thing of the past
The general supply must now be gathered
from the four quarters of the earth to
supply the demand. Kentucky has quite
a stock of good walnut yet, though much
that is very inferior on account Of It's gray
color, and tough, hard texture. Missouri
also has some Of rather an inferior quality
Western Ohio claims good walnut, but that
Of Eastern Ohio and West Virginia is poor
in quality. The whole stock of the States
is estimated by correspondent of the
L"nbeI7nan's Gazette as not equal to a full
demand for ten years TO come. Furniture
manufacturers do not now use it as lavi6hly
as they did five years ago. Other woods
are substituted when possible, and one
thousand feet of walnut are made to 90 as
far again as it did "A few years ago. Chicago
uses annually in her different branches of
manufacture, such as house, school, and
office furniture, also in finishing material,
doors, nOuldimSs, counters, &c, 14,500,-
900 feet. Probably about half of this is
bought at the mills, and does not 90 into
the account Of the dealers at all Many
of the largest manufacturers direct or have
mills, or an interest in mills, in the walnut
district But the general fact is that black
walnut is beginning to give out, while no
means have been adopted to promote new
growth.
