the elevation of George Dewey to the
rank of a full admiral of the United

which the bill was passed to reestablish
the rank of admiral for Dewey's benefit

in which the victor of Manila is held by
The nation. Furthermore, by a pro-

SOME NEW TIMBER RESOURCES.

1t is reported that the demand for
hardwood lumber, hemlock and cedar
is giving new life to the almost aban-
doned pine lands of the lake region.
But short time since the great opera
tors of Michigan and Wisconsin
thought little or nothing OF their hem
lock, cedar and hardwood timber, and
expressed grave doubts as to whether
they should ever attempt to do any
thing with it in the way of cutting and
converting it into marketable pro-
duct Within recent time they have
changed their views in this particular
and now some of the large concerns
that have grown wealthy in the pine
business have begun to develop their
timber resources other than pine.
Many have nearly reached the end Of
their. pine operations, but yet have
a vast amount of timber of various
profit. By thus doing they can
utilize their mills, their logging rail-
ways and camp outfits for several
years longer. Preparations are being
made for more thorough utilization
of timber products. Hemrock opera
tons will be carried on in connection
with hardwood numbering and cedar
cutting, all working together to main
tain the general industry. In the Ella
boration of the hemlock business tan
neries are being erected so as to use
up the bark and thus enhance the
profitableness OF the timber. Alto
gether it is probable that during the
next 10 years there will be an enlarge
ment of the lumber business on the
lines named that will go far toward
compensating for the decline of the
pine industry. Our timber barons
will not suffer even if they do not get
what they want in the treaty with
Canada-Indianapo Sentinel.
