Enhancing In Value.

Despite the Reneral ldea OF the
immensely of the Pacific North
west, there is a lack of real appre-
citation Of the great wealth which is
possessed in this bountiful provis-
ion of providence, says the West
Coast Trade. 1t requires but a
glance at the wastefulness pursued
ii manufacturing and marketing
the product to realize this fact. A
decade hence people will regard
with wonder the prodigality with
which fine bodies of timber have
been culled over in the rush to re-
alize upon the choicest portions,
where a proper amount of care
would have brought satisfactory re-
turns, and left untold fortunes for
the near future. The state of Wash
ington has from 200,O00,OO0,0OO to
800, 000,000,000 feet of standing
merchantable timber, according to
the popular estimate. It's proper
tionate value today with ten years
hence may be estimated more clear
ly by consideration of the facts
contained in the following from the
Northwest Lumberman:
Frederick Weyerhaeuser esti-
mates that in Michigan there is
standing pine to the amount of 10,
O00,000,O00 feet; in Wisconsin, 90
000,00O,000 feet, and in Minnesota,
G5,000,O00,000 feet. Thus in the
three states, according to his esti-
mate, there is 65,000,O00,O00 feet.
If the annual cut shall be 6,OO0,-
100000 feet hereafter, the total
supply will last little longer than
10 years. But the annual cutting
will depend on the demand. Last
year the output oflumber was about
5,500,0O0,000 feet, which was a
minimum result compared to that
of any year for previous decade
or more. The rate of cutting will
depend on the times and the COM
petition of southern and Pacific
coast lumber. Under the influence
Of prosperity production will be
driven faster than under the OPP,
posite condition. For instance, if
we shall have several years, sue
ceeding the present time, of fair
measure Of prosperity pine owners
would be diligent in cutting and
putting on the market all the lum-
btr possible, and the annual cut for
several successive years might
swell to over 6,O00,000,000 feet.
But assuming that the most that
can be expected is an annual out,
put Of 5,O00.000,000 feet, the total
supply will last Is years, according
to Mr. Weyerhaeurer's very liberal
estimate, which some old Michigan
lumbermen think is excessive
While the total is lasting say 10
years, or even Is years, the field of
operations will be narrowing, until
in the last few years of the period
the cutting will mostly be done
west Of the head of Lake Superior.

WASHINGTON, D. c., August 90
Acting Secretary Allen has decided to
adopt the policy of mastering out the
naval militia In bodies, instead Of in
divlduaily as heretofore. This will be
done in the case of the New York men
ON the Yankee, now at New York, and
in all other cases hereafter. Mr.. Allen
believes that the milItIamen will be bet
ter pleased to so to their homes in bod
les where they mag be met by their
people and greeted publicly. The navy
department Is highly gratlfled at the
splendid service rendered by these men.
Just before the battle OF July }, sixty
Chicago militiamen were placed on the
battleship Oregon and the reports that
come to the department all speak in the
highest terms OF their ability. So well
had they been drilled in instances that
new men were turned over to the NIL
ntiamen to be instructed IN their duties.
The militiamen were also on the best OF
terms with the enlisted men aboard the
ship and the latter manifested their ap-
probation Of the good qualities OF the
Chicago boys by cheering heartily for
them as they were gathered TO be mus
tered. The department IS not able to
proceed as fast as II would like in the
matter OF mastering out the milltiamen.
