THE LUMBER INDUSTRY.

The condition of lumbermills and
saw-mills in Michigan, Wisconsin,
and Minnesota, 1890, has been an
nounced. Only planning operat-
ed by lnmber manufacturers in con-
nection with lumber-mills are includ-
ed. For the purpose of the inquiry,
lumber-mills include only those
which manufacture sawed lumber as
the principal product, the term saw
mills" meaning all other mills in
which logs or bolts form the principal
raw material, and are manufactured
into any kind of product other than
than lumber. The value of forest
products, not manufactured at the
mill, in Michigan, Wisconsin, and
Minnesota, 1890, aggregates $780,
426, 1914; value of mill products,
Sis, 500. OO4; value of re-manufact-
ures, $21,112,61S-making an ag-
gregate value of products in three
states of $167, 237,S16. The capital
invested to produce this value
was $27O,152, O12; men employed
in forests, 95,25S; women, 90; chill
dren, 10; animals, 32,491. In the
mills the product required the labor

feet of merchantable timber were re-
moved from growth; $7,S9O,254
were invested in vessels and other
means of transport, and $99,69S,

sistence, supplies, and miscellaneous
purposes. The aggregate increase of
product since 1880 is reported to be
29.66 per cent in quantity and 1892
per cent in value.
In the three states named above
there are 933 esta blishments operat-
ing mills, with capital invested in
timbered land of $S5, 1881 ,446, the
area being 6,81S, 941 acres, with an
estimated total product of merchant
able timber of 43, 1872, 1888 200 feet
(board measure). The estimated
value of standing timber owned by
these establishments is 1912

important product, the total on
timbered land being 47.3O4, $751;

THE FAITHFUL FRIENDS.

When Abdallah had reached a
good old age he called his ten sons
to his side, and told them that he
had acquired a fortune by industry
and economy, and would give them
one hundred gold pieces each before
death, so that they might begin
business for themselves. 1t happen
ed, however, that soon after, he lost
a portion of his property, and had
nine hundred and fifty gold pieces
left. So he gave one hundred to each
of his nine sons. When his Youngest
son, whom he loved most of all,
asked what was to be his share, he
replied:
my son, promised to give each
of thy brothers one hundred gold
pieces. l have fifty left. Thirty l
will reserve for my funeral expenses,
and twenty will be thy portion. /
possess, in addition, ten friends,
pensation for thy loss of eight gold
pieces; and they are worth more
than all the gold and silver"
The man died in a few days, and
the nine sons took their money, and
without a thought OF their youngest
brother, followed each his own fancy.
But the Youngest son, although his
portion was the least, resolved to
heed his fathers words, and hold
fast to the ten friends. So after a
while he prepared a modest feast,
went to the ten friends of his father,
and said to them: my father
asked me to keep you, his friends, in
honor. Before l leave this place to
seek my fortune elsewhere, will you
not share with me a farewell meal ?"
The ten friends accepted his invita-
ton with pleasure; and enjoyed the
repast; and when the moment for
parting arrived, one of them rose
and spoke: My friends, it seems to
me that of all the sons Of
our dear friend that has gone, the
Youngest alone is mindful of his
fathers friendship for us. Let us,
then, be true friends to him, and pro-
vide for him generous sum that he
may begin business here"
The proposal was received with
applause. The youth was proud OF
their gift of friendship, and soon be-
came a prosperous merchant. who
never forgot that faithful friends
were more valuable than gold or
silver, and who left an honored name
to his descendants Abram S.

OUR FUTURE TRADE WITH ASIA.

The commercial outlook of Oregon
is westward. 1t is nearer by the
breadth of a continent to the markets
of the old East and Pacific islands
than are the Atlantic ports. No just
estimate can be placed upon the
future volume and value of the
trade with Asia. No one nation
can control it, but the struggle to
possess it will be mainly between
England and our Pacific coast
states. British statesmen, with
proverbial sagacity, foresaw this
struggle, and it was not the result of
accident that in settling the Oregon
boundary we lost the island of Van.
couver and half of Puget Sound. In
this struggle the new Northwest
will have an advantage over Cali
fornia in distance, and in the fact
that the ocean stream which rises off
the cost of Asia and flows eastward
to the American continent gives to
every ship bound for northwestern
port a gain of 20 miles in every "a
hours The region will have an adj
vantage over Great Britain in the
local production of the staple articles
required for the Asiatic trade. He
who should now undertake to esti-
mate the commerce of the Pacific
coast with Asia and the Pacific
islands twenty-five years hence
would find few who would not con-
slider his estimate exaggerated

FOR THE CHILDREN.
TIPS LETTER.

Tip was a pretty little yellow dog,
with bright black eyes, black-tipped
ears, a tail that curled in a tight
ring, according to the most elegant
pug ashton.
He lived in Washington, and was
brought to his first home by little
colored girl, whose kindly black hair
curled as tight as Tips tail. She
wanted to sell him, she said, because
there were four more puppies at
home, and her nanny couldn't
afford to keepso many dogs. So the
bargain was soon made, and the
fat little fellow was put in clothes
hamper for the night. How he did
cry. He missed his four brothers
and sisters. But he soon grew con-
tented, and learned all sorts of cum
ming tricks.
When summer came it was very
hot in the city, and poor Tip had
only a small yard to play in, so his
master thought it would be better
to send him into the country, and
some ladies who kept school offered
to take him.
One fine morning off he went in his
hamper, with a letter, which some
body had written for him, tied
around his neck.
When he reached the house the
school children were delighted with
their new playfellow, and after they
had fine romp together the boys
and girls crowded around the teacher
to hear her read the letter. She
opened it and began:
ITO My New Mistress: As am a
little dog only three months old. and
can't talk much, l thought l would
get somebody to write for me.
Il am just as good as l know how
to be, always. But sometimes, when
feel very full of fun, 1 do like to
play bite, and then sometimes my
teeth pinch little, or if you pull
away your hands very quick, before
l have a chance to open my mouth
too, when I've been keeping quiet
for a long time, like to race up and
down or round and round the room
just a fast as can go. People who
didn't know me might think had
fit. But it isn't so. I'm just as
healthy little dog as ever lived.
"Ive brought my switch with me,
and if do anything you don't like,
if you just show it to me, up jump
on the first chair or box l can find,
and keep as still as a mouse. I've
never been whipped with it but
once, but don't like the looks of it
very well, because when people show
it to me, know they think 1 have
been bad little dog
I've brought my hamper too.
I've slept in it every night since 1
came to Arlington street. If you'll
just let me stay in it two or three
nights in one of your chambers 1
don't think 1 shall cry at all; but
I'm such very little dog, and have
never been outdoors, that Pm afraid
just at first, while things were
strange. l should feel homesick and
keep you awake by my crying.
Il never get out of it at night, and
in the morning 1 stand up, with my
paws on the edge, waiting till some
body takes me. They say 1 look
very pretty then.
And now, ladies, if you'll kindly
have patience with me a few days,
until l learn how you want me to be-
have, and think Pm a good little
dog, and 1 shall always be your faith
full. TIP"
