THE TIMBER QUESTION.

Americas development necessitates
the sacrifice of her timber, and the wood
mans axe yearly oleaves through thou
sands of acres of pine and other mer-
chantable wood. Sorapid has been this
denudation that occasional warnings are
uttered by the press in sections where
the effects of the axe of progress are
most seen and felt. It it not at all
strange, says the New York Reporter,
that considerable anxiety should be felt
as to where the future supply of lumber
shall be obtained, when the great for
ests of Michigan, whence at present the
great bulk of the timber is brought,
shall have been depleted. Many ex-
perienced dealers think that this will oc-
cur within ten or fifteen years, and are
already casting about for new field
whence to draw their stock. Canada is
coming into the market somewhat, at
present mostly with sycamore lumber,
which is made into packing boxes for
plug tobacco, and also with excellent
ship plank. But Canada has immense
forests of pine, spruce and hcmlock, and
the Ottawa, Saguenay and other rivers
are the channels by which large amounts
of lumber annually are brought to mar
ket. Quebec, Toronto and Montreal are
the large depots for lumber from the
Dominion, and some of the stock is sent
by water or rail even to the ship.yards
Of Maine, itself great lumber state.
In the manufacturing districts of
Michigan heavy advances have taken
place in almost all grades of lumber. In
the vicinity Of almost all navigable
streams in that section of country all the
best trees have been utilized, conss.
quently lumbermen are now compelled
to 60 farther back for a supply, and the
cost of the pine log from the stump to
the mill has therefore been materially
increased.
To look at the immense RATS which
annually make their way down the
Penobscot, the Kennebec, the Merri-
mac, the Connecticut, the Hudson, and
the other principal rivers which draw
their supplies from the New England
states, tyro would say that the eastern
states alone can furnish all the lumber
needed for this continent; but the fact
that the center Of chief supply has
gradually moved west to the lax .s, and
that scarcity is predicted there, indi-
Gates that in the near future all these
sources will be exhausted, and that we
must draw our supply Of this great arti-
Gle of commerce from still more distant
parts.

That Blasted Bill

Washington. 29.-When the Chin
csc Bill was returned to the House
OF Representatives, this morning,
Page Immediately asked unanimous
consent to take it from the Speak
er'S table for the purpose Of concur
renee in all the Senate amendments.
Hooker, of Mississippi, with equal
pIomptness, objected. Page then
asked Hooker to allow the amend
ments to be read and the same time
stated that they were unimpOrtant.
mostly verbal and had been adopted
without opposition in the Senate.
General Hooker objected to any
farther proceedings on the ground
that they could not be under
stood without examining them
in print, and he desired an
opportunity to look them over.
Page thereupOn obtained an order to
print rhe bill and amendments, net
only in the usual form, but also in
to-morroW's Congressional Record,
and gave notice that he would en-
deavor to call up the bill on Mon
day. In view however, of the fact
that this cannot be done except by
unanimous consent, or by tWO-thirds
majority under a suspension OF the
rules, Page will probably let the
matter rest until Tuesday, when, il
he fails to obtain unanimous consent
hewill have a right, after the morning
hour, to move that the House pro-
coed to business on the Speakers
table. This can be ordered by q
majority vote, and if necessary, al
the measures ahead of the Chinese
bill on the Speakers table may then
be set aside by a simple majority,
| There being no doubt IOf concur
renee by the House in all the
Senate amenements, the only re.
naming question in regard to the
bill is whether President Arthur
will sign it. The republican mem
bers of the Pacific Coast delegation
say there is no room whatever fol
doubt on this point. Their demo
cratic colleagues, remembering how
thoroughly the President disap
pointed the expectations of his Paci
lic Coast friends when the other bill
was before him, are not now dis
posed to rely upon similar predic
tions. and a large portion of thu
outside public entertain doubt:
) which are expressed in this even
ing's Star as follows: Tn
fourteenth and fifteenth sec
tiOns, it must be admitted, rem
der the Presidents approval of tn
, measure doubtful, inasmuch as he
in his recent veto, objected particu
larly to the exclusion of Chimes
skilled labor. There is also direc
authority for stating that the Presi
dent informed Senator Miller tn
day after the veto was sent to Con
gress, that he would approve a new
bill with the term of suspension re
duced to ten years, and without an,
other changes than such immateTia
ones as have been made in regard t.
