N. Y. World Here is a neces-
sary bill vt' fiII.tTsoiir ri1s :, ON .i,o par.
Of the United States Government
which is an object lesson to cur
rency.
Col. Amos S. Kimball, Quarter
master of the Department OF the
East, bought 250,00o Mexican dol
lars yesterday for the use of the
army invading the Philippines.
de paid is cents for each of these
dollars, their regular market price
in New York.
When they are used in the far
East they Will be worth nearly
twice as much as the American
silver dollar would be. So it will
be seen that the purchasing pow
er OF the 250,000 viii be double
their cost.
These Mexican silver dollars
may be pad for IN silver Amer
lean dollars. The American dol
lar weighs 112.5 grains, while the
Mexican dollar weighs 4l1.79
grains, and the percentage Of pure
silver in the Mexican dollar is
higher than IN the American dol
lar. The latter is little more
than nlnetenths fine.
The Mexican dollar Is practical
iy the standard coin in the Orient
al trade outside of India. 1t is
the coin commonly used, and
practically the only one used IN
Japan and China and the East
india Islands. The Chinese es-
pecially has the highest regard
for the Mexican dollar, and in the
Philippines there are many more
Cinnamon than all the foreigners
put together. The Chinese do
not think much of the American
dollar. They VIII have nothing TO
do with the paper money, and the
silver is worth somewhat less than
its intrinsic value as so much sill
Ter The majority of them are
crfectly willing to trade two
american silver dollars for one
AeXican dollar.
General Merritt and his army
viii be practically cut off from
immediate communication with
the home country, and naturally
great quantity OF supplies will
be purchased IN the East. Where
fore it is the part of wisdom to
provide him with the currency
that is in popular use. He might
lake American gold with HIM,
but that wouldn't be good finan-
elenng tQ do that. Uncle sam
must keep up hia reputation 7s q

and there is not the care taken to pre-.
serve them that there might be, though
in that respect there has been vast inn
provement in the past few years in forest
preservation, but you can't eat your
cake and have it," and long before all
the timber is gone the genius of the
American people will have provided a
substitute.
a Washington paper diIates on the log
situation OF the Puget sound basin in this
fashion: Within four months every cam p
IN Washington has found itself liable to
fill its orders. Logs have risen on bank
or track from l.50 to $3.50 thousand.
The mills and camps are running day
and night. Loggers and camps are scour.
ing the country for men, and wages have
reached higher mark than for years.
Raft after raft has been towed to the
mills and sold at rs to ~ thousand,
while within Il year $3.50 was Il good
price. Scarce a day passes when some
hotel register does moi show the name of
some prominent logger who is in town tC
buy material for increasing his capacity,
Camps which hay. been Idle for years
are resuming and new ones are being
started. Lumbermen are jubilant and
prophesy better times.

LUlsi; ERING NOTES.


A shutdown now will stillen shingle
prices in the spring.
A Snohomish county paper lost several
subscribers recently by printing it "shin-
gle" tax instead of "single" tax.
The lumber trade in the Pactit North
west is in pretty fair condition, thank
you. The only cog loose is the red cedar
single situation.
The lumber situation in California
grows brighter every month, and the de-
mand is increasing. Prices, too, are bet
ter than they have been for some time
past.
Rail shipments OF lumber to the east
are falling off slightly, which is to be eX-
pected at this season Of thu, year, but the
totals so far show Il very gratifying in
crease over one year ago.
Ii President James j. Hill OF the Great
Northern will but reduce freight rates on
common lumo Der to the east, he can have
pretty near anything he wants in this
neck of the woods.
The lumbermen of the Pacific North
west should assist the Washington Chap
| ter American Institute of Architects in
obtaining timber testing station. it
will be the best advertisement our lum-
Der could have.
The Tacoma Mill Co. has decided to
buy logs on the open market hereafter,
instead of cutting from their own lands.
This is wise move. Accessible timber
| lands will be worth money in a few years
from now. In fact, there are very few
! large tracts, accessible to water, on Puget
Sound on the market today.
There will be a good deal of railroad
building in the Pacific Northwest next
year. One authority has it on paper that
the total will exceed 2,O0) miles. This
may or may not be true; nevertheless
there will be enough done to warrant the
statement that the lumbermen will have
all they can do to supply orders for rail-
road material.
Prices of native lumber in continental
European countries do not. according to
consular reports, greatly exceed prices in
this country. At Nice. France, native
fir is quoted, rough, at 1915 per thous-
and; native pine at SO; fir flooring at
$2l to $24 pine finish at SIS to $50.
Oak, rough, from Hungary is worth at
Nice, $4S; chestnut $24; walnut $50 to
$35.
Howeve: the forests of America may
be decimated in the next few hundred
years it is hardly to be expected that
prices Of lumber will eyer become fabu-
lous. The experience OF the world thus
far has been that whenever lumber has
risen to even fairly high price substi-
tute material has come in to take its
place. Iron and steel, stone and brick,
tile, paper, zinc and copper, all growing
steadily cheaper must always limit the
demand for lumber to prices not much
above present figures.
In IA long article in recent issue OF the
Chicago Times Herald our forests are
again doomed to destruction. They have
been doomed" SO often during the past
quarter OF a century and have stood up
so we'll under all the blooming" that no
new alarm is raised by such articles. To
/ be sure, there is lot OF timber cut every
year and another lot destroyed by fire,
