Borrowing on Trees.

from Time tOtlm curing suS past
wear attention has been called to the
large purchases Of yellow pine
land which we're being made in the
Louisiana and Mississippi timber
belt by luMhermen from the north
west. The tendency toward that
kind OF an Investment seems to be
steadily on the increase, and all
through the GUNNER and fall con-
tinuous stream Ut buyers aud their
agents and representatives have so
journed briefly in New Orleans.
Enormous tracts have been ac-
quired at prices ranging from s. 10
SIS an acre, aud a number of ceals
Of that character are at present in
course of negotiation. In many
cases the land has been purchased
apparently rs q mere investment.
and not long ago sale was men,
toned in the Times Democrat, in
whloh the buyer stated that he pro-
posed to hnld l4s property as 4
legacy for his children. Its likely
that there we're others who had a
similar purpose in mind.
It is an undeniable fact that the
pine districts OF the northwest are
being rapidly s'out-oui" and the
date of their exhaustion is . mat
tsr OF easy computation. THE
taken in connection with the re-
markable boom OF lumber makes it
highly probable that a good deal Of
the timber land buying which has
been recently going ON hsf been Of
speculative character. 1t is said
on good authority that much IT the
property acquired has been bought
with money borrowed on the stand
ing trees, ard IN several instances
the loans we're actually larger than
the prices paid for the land.
In this connection manager j. A.
Blafler of the New Orleans Progress
sive Union tells an interesting
story.

is far greater than the danger from a

would deliberately enter the apartment

A serious outbreak of typhoid fever

cases of tuberculosis, disease which is
responsible for an Incredible number Of
deaths, is looked upon with indifference
