Hon. Charles DENLY, whose expert
ifles him to speak by the card, says in
the March Forum that it is foolish
to underestimate the ability of the Fill
ipinos; that they are not savages or in
state of nature; that they are really
kindly when properly treated, and have
a strong love for republican principles.
But to say that we shall not improve
their condition is to contradict his
tory" He adds:
It is just as idle to say that the pos
session and control of the Philippines
will not benefit our trade and COM
merce. Our trade with China is grow
ing 1t increased from 1000, 600 taels
in 1890 to more than 30OO0,000 in 1897
This statement does not include i'm
ports and exports which go and come
through Hongkong and London. Tn
less every writer on the affairs of the
Far East is mistaken, Eastern Asia to-
day presents the most important field
for commerce that the world contains.
Railroad building in China, Manchuria
and Siberia may we'll occupy the time
and attention of the manufacturer of
steel and iron, in which industry we
hold the first place in the world. After
lumber, and next to refrigerated and
canned meat, the iron and steel indus
try in the United States is the most
valuable and important
There rises in the path of progress in
China but one dangerous specter and
that is the partition of the Celestial
Empire. Our retention of the Philip
pines will tend to prevent the destruc-
ton of the empire, and to preserve for
US an invaluable market

During the past week there were
fourteen arrivals at Fair Oaks, great

Invitations are out for the wedding
of Charles Froebe and Miss Vida Fitch,
which is to take place at noon on

The matter of bridge across the
American River is claiming considera-
BILE attention by the citizens of Fair
Oaks and their neighbors on both sides
of the river. This community has
made efforts before this to enlist the
cooperation Of all parties in this pro-
ject. Now that Fair Oaks has al
ready become an important factor in
county affairs, and the growth of the
town is so rapid and destined to grow
still faster, some attention is paid to
this pressing need. The difficulty Of
transporting the products of this place
to Sacramento over steep hills is very
great. Now that the dredging COM
pany has established itself permanent
ly, and the increase of capital and of
the products of this portion of the coun-
ty seem to make the speedy construc-
ton of this bridge imperative.

IT IS TRAITOROUS.

(F'rom the Chico Enterprise)
There remains but a few days in
which a United States Senator can be
selected to succeed Stephen M. White,
yet it seems that very many Of the Re
publican legislators are unwilling 10
caucus and by an open vote decide who
shall receive their united support for
this position. D. M. Burns and his sup
porters have time and again offered to
hold a caucus where every Republican
legislator would be equal, where every
vote would be openly cast and no
secret ballot be held, and where ma
jority of the Republican members of
the Legislature should select candi-
date that all could support. This
square and honest proposal has been
ignored and as a consequence no caucus
has been held and no Senator elected.
By this persistent refusal to come to a
definite agreement, the Republican
members who refuse to caucus for the
purpose of electing a Republican Sen
ator to aid President Mckinley, are
traitorous to their constituents, their
party and their country. If these
men loved their party half so dearly as
they proclaimed from the stump while
making their campaign, a successor to
Stephen M. White would have been
elected long ago.
GIVE US A SENATOR
(F'rom the Wheatland Four Corners
The deadlock at Sacramento contin-
ues and the end of the legislative SEES
sion is in sight. Apparently, unless
there is a caucus, no Senator will be
elected.
1t is a duty the Republican members
of the Senate and Assembly owe to
both the Republicans and the people Of
this State, to choose a Senator at this
session. Beyond doubt there is no Sec
ton of the Union which stands to gain
as much from the result of the late
war as the Pacific Coast The Philip
pines, Hawaii, the prospective isthmus
canal mean more to us than to the East
and South. 1t rests with US to be first
in the trade which is to spring from
China and the Orient. We imperil these
benefits if the right support is not Civ
en- in this State to the Mckinney adj
ministration
We have the promised fruits of that
administration and Republicans airs
alike concerned. If the Republican
legislators and leaders appreciate so lit
tie the opportunity that at this time,
by stubborn fighting, they are wfliHx
unrepresented in Congress and to deny
to the administration the support of a
Republican representative in the high
est legislative body or this nation, It
will not be strange If the Administra-

The National tribune., 1899-06-22

Canada has forest area estimated at
900 square miles, or 100000, 900
acres, the largest forest area, so far as the
woods of commerce are concerned, of any
country in the world. The forest produc-
ton is $50 100000 annually. Its exporta-
ton of forest produce, exclusive of manu-
factures of wood and wood pulp, is about
S30,000,000 annually. For 1897 it was
S31, 25G 900, but for 1898 it fell to S27 ,OO0,-
600, principally because of the decrease of
the importation OF planks, boards, etc., by
the United States. During the four years,
1894 to 1897, inclusive, an expectation of
logs to the United States principally OF
white pine) to the amount of S2,OOO,O00 a
year was made. But for 1898 the amount
was considerably lessened, owing to recent
legislation on the part of the Province OF
Ontario, to the effect that logs felled in the
province must be cut up into lumber within
the boundaries of the province.
Canada occupies favored position with
respect to lumber production. This is
because of the fact that the largest supply
of white pine (or Weymouth pine, as it is
called in England) standing in the world
is found within its borders. Ontario is the
principal seat of the white pine industry OF
| the Dominion, but white pine is also largely
found in Quebec and in the maritime prov
inces. White pine, indeed, constitutes the
principal item of the lumber export OF
Canada. Another valuable forest re-
abundance is spruce, which is used for the
making of wood pulp for paper stock.
North Of the Height of Laad" along the
Hudson Bay slope, extends what is per
haps the largest forest of pulp" spruce to
be found in the world. The value of the
spruce blocks now exported from Canada
amounts to about S1,OOO,OOO annually.
The other timber resources Of Canada
resemble those Of the Northern States,
including on the Pacific Coast the Doug
las fir.
