LUMBER IN CENTRAL AMERICA.
Good Trees Few and Far Between


Good Trees Few and Far between
Chance for Sound Lumbermen.
"The construction of the Nicaragua
canal ought to bring a good deal of bust
ness to the Puget sound lumber mills"
said Colonel Il. III. Morrison yesterday.
"A vast amount of heavy timber will have
TO be used in the work, and Puget sound
fir will be both the best and most accessi-
bic supply. There is no lumber in Central
America suitable for the purpose. The
hard woods indigenous to that country
are not found in such quantities as to be
cheaply logged.
"a mistaken impression is abroad in re-
gard TO the forests of that section. People
have a general idea that great tracts of
country are covered with splendid trees.
so that one can 60 into the forests any,
where and cut good logs suitable for lum-
Der. The fact is that, though the forests
are thick, the majority Of the trees are too
small TO be worth cutting. Here and
there large mahogany tree is found and
man chops it down. In order to get il
out he has to cut trail through a GUAM
tity of worthless timber and run it down
10 the nearest river. There will probably
not be another tree worth cutting for a
long distance. It Is by the slow collection
Of logs cut from isolated trees in this wav
that the shipments are made. The cost of
logging and Of holding stock of logs until
there Is enough 10 ship make these kinds
Of lumber 50 expensive.
Many people have been fooled by the
expectation Of immense fortunes in lum-
herring in Central and South America. A
friend of mine took a complete sawmilI
and logging outfit With party of skilled
men to one of the South American rivers.
expecting to do wonders. He found the
ground swampy. swarrning with reptiles,
and covered with such dense jungle that
travelling through the Puget sound woods
is picnic by comparison. He also found
that there was only tree here and there
worth cutting, and by the time he had cut
a trail to it, the beginning Of his trail was
30 thickly grown up with brush again that
he could hardly find it. After one nights
rain the brush would grow up to a height
OF six feet in day. He was glad to get
out of il again.
There is one tree down there called the
snakewood which grows to a great thick
ness, but when you come to chop it down
you find that il is nearly all soft bark.
When you do finally come to hard wood,
it is extremely hard, but there will be only
about four inches of it in a tree as many
feet in diameter. 1t is used mainly for
canes, which cost s. or 81 in South Amer
lea and several times as much in this coun-
try.
There are number of good kinds of
lumber down there which would be useful.
but have never been brought into use. /
suppose they happen never to have be-
come fashionable. Yet they are of fine
shades, and beautiful, fine grain, and
would look well in furniture and interior
decoration. They grow thicker than the
better known hardwoods, and would be
much cheaper"

THE BOARDOF WORKS
Letter Received From Benezette
Williams as to Sewerage.
REPORTS FOR MONTH OF MAY
Attempt to Arrange = Conference with
the County Commissioners-The
water Force Laid on.

Yesterday being election day, the board
of public works did not hold its usual
meeting. The members of the board at
tempted to have conference with the
county commissioners upon the subject of
purchasing the county courthouse site for
the city: but press of other business pre-
vented much progress being made.
No bids have been received for the CITY
property on South Third street, which has
been advertised for sale.
The following letter was received by Sec
rotary Holbrook from Mr.. Benezette Will
liams, dated at Chicago:
Dear Sir: Your favor of the 10Th is at hand. I
hasten TO reply that there has been no DELAY in
the sewer plans since / obtained the contour
maps, but the work has been going forward
constantly and Is progressing a. rapidly as prac-
ticabie. / find that il involves even more work
than anticipated, and while the work il far
along towards completion, still am not able to
say definitely when can send complete plans.

which understand you inquire about Itshows
the size and grades OF sewers so far as IL Is
practicable to fix the grades. You understand,
of course, that on streets that have no grade es-
tablished, the sewer grades cannot be finally
determined upon, and the most / am able to
do is to indicate the general outline OF the sys-
TEN and give the sizes which viii be approxi-
mateiy reliable. They the sizes at least close
enough for all practicable purposes.
You will notice that the outlet for Temperance
street and . portion OF Queen Anne town is
drained through sewer on Banner street lead
ing southwark to Depot street. At this point il
Is my desire to connect 1t with tunnel that 10

reduced to the utmost possible extent. To this
endI show the sewer as turning eastward on De-
pot street and emptying into tunnel through
shaft. am not sure that this will be the best
way of making a connection with the tunnel. as
IL may be possible to continue the sewer down
over the bluff at the intersection OF Banner and
Depot streets and enter the tunnel lower down
at the foot OF the bluff. This the engineers on
the ground could determine readily.
will lose no time in getting the plans for
ward, and win send them to you at as early
date az possible. Should IL be concluded to be-
gin the construction OF any portion of the sew
ers in the district shown. can supply the nec-
essary specifications to embody the special as
sessment ordinance.

excellent ability. The head of the ticket,
Mr.. W r. Bissell, is graceful and we'll
