This is precisely what Mr. Wymuth has
done until his skin has been burned
eonee brown, yet this hue is not sug-
gestive of the business in which he has
been engaged since November. 1886. In
stead of raising the coffee bean, the
banana plant or the lime fruit Mr.. Wy
muth has gotten his living out of logs.
Superhne qualities of mahogany, ebony
and ignumvitae have engaged his-critical
attention since entering the jungles of
central America So acute becomes the
eye OF a lumberman in those parts that
with few glances he can tell whether
tree has attained enough years of ma
tur1ty TO warrant cutting in demand to
special order for material to be utilized
whether in the manufacture of u bar,
pool table or an expensive bed chamber
set matters not. For these various re-
quirements, the grains should be specially
selected ana before spelling a tree by I'M
mature telling. rave judgment is an es-
sential- Who has ever considered that
the grain for billiard table would not
90 Tor bar, but such hneneSS of dis
examination are among the tricks of Mr..
Wymuth's trade. The most expensive of
all tropical timber IS the Yucatan dog
wood. which IS used only in the manu-
facture of pianos and ultra-fas hionable
furniture. 1t costs 40 cents a yard or at
the rate of 1919 cents a linear foot. The
blood mahogany ranks second, ebony
third. brown mahogany fourth and
lgnumvitae last.
Yucatan ships annually over LOCO 600 in
rich woods. The firm with which the
SAT- Lake visitor is connected has sent
to the United States within ten years over
$l5,OoO, 600 worth of hard woods. and when
tho layman is told that eight large
trade, he may stop and cogitate over the
fact that there are trusts and trusts IL
limitable
Mr.. Wymuth also has some interesting
information concerning the explorations
of ancient cities which have been going
on within the interior of Yucatan during
the past eight years under the direction
of Prof. Schilliber of the Royal Geo.
graphical society of Great Britain some
vague accounts of which have beer pub
lShed to the world from time to time.
The ruins of Accecttiti. situated 120 miles
from the coast, have been visited by
Wymuth while on = timber inspection
trip. He traced the ruins for more than
four and one-half miles. Sometimes the
fragments of geometrical rocks were al
most entirely lost, while the mutable soil
of the wilderness had sifted over them,
and then again the walls arose to nearly
50 feet in the air. They We're literally
craven with picture symbols and the
sign language of the ancient Paquelli.
Some views of these municipal remains
are in the possession of Mr.. Wymuth. He
viii leave for Denver some time today
and thence to Mt. Desert. on the coast
of Maine, where the summer will be
spent.
There IS an Individual who shows up
once every month in one of Salt Lakes

is not his name. nor is it a reflection upon
his character or habits. Let it suffice to
say that the traveller never is guilty of

People who scan the register are vexed
at the presumption of the man, at the
arrogance which smacks of the most
complacent conceit, ell of which recalls
the story of the important Scotchman
who was in the habit of signing himself
The O'Donough," whenever he went
into Edinburgh. One day he spread him
self over the register preparatory to
inditing his usual flourish when to his
utter dismay, ne beheld 1.-The ODonough,

pen and with much larger letters wrote
