nser Is at the head oi the GUNNER
Lumber Company, aud Is one OF the

conversation with reporter yesterday,
be sad: 'sIhls has been good year
Ter lumber. although Ne haven't bad
any boom. Oar mills are cutting aoyht
100. 600 feet per day, and We have So
voo. 600 feet 10 stock. We have a three
years cut there yet, aud then We snail
probably 90 souta. We own consider
able southern pine now. A eurions
feature OF southern numbering Is that
the pine IS always iuEpentlnsd, The
tnrpentine Is always extracted Tor two
consecutive years and then the timber
- cut. The turpentIne manufacturers
pay dollar an acre for the priv eye OF
extracting the turpentlne from the pine.
A. flrst VIC didn't believe in thls, but
probably shall do II IL we find it doesn't
hurt the lumber. One hundred thous-
and acres OF pine yields sloo, 900 with
out t3uehing II. That's too much 10

lind that most OF these farmers who
voted the Patrons ticket last fall are
coming back to the Republican party;
and. furthermore, they all say that. re-
gardless of documents and pamphlets
and speeches, they're going to stay
there. Ii lived IN this district. Ferry
would be my choice. although | regard
Belknap As a strong man. But the
sentiment away from here seems to be
for man who doesn't live In Grand
Rapids. People outside the city say it
. Grand Rapids man is nominated, he
will devote his time to looking after
the interests of Grand Rapids; there

doubtedly be elected"
