NUMBERING NOTES.
From lumber trade journals.

From lumber trade journals.
The "reckless destruction OF timber"
is pretty good just about now. There
isn't mill on Puget Sound that has
enough logs on hand TO keep the govern.
ment statistician at work. Wot'ell.
Let us hore there will be some stability
to red cedar lumber prices this year. Last
year they were slaughtered without any
excuse, Notwithstanding the fact that the
demand was better than in several years.
With the growing scarcity Of available
timber and the prevailing high log prices,
the manufacturers ought to receive at
least the actual cost of the law material
and manufacture. The percentage Of
first class lumber in cedar log is too
small to put same on basis with fir.
section 20 Of the Dingley tariff law pro-
vides that forestry products upon the st.
John river and its tributaries, owned and
manufactured in New Brunswick by
American citizens, shall be admitted into
the United States free OF duty. A recent
decision of the federal treasury depart
ment is to the effect that corporation
otherwise coming within the above Sec
ton cannot claim and is denied exemp.
ton under it, because corporation can
not be adjudged Citizen"
The storage in transit custom on red
cedar shingles has been largely il not en-.
tirey abolished, but there still remains
the privilege given by the initial roads Of
diverting the car while in transit, or
changing the billing. While cases may
be imagined in which such change in
shipping directions is absolutely essen
tal. it would be better if, in the main mo
such privilege we're allowed. A CORE
spondent in the Pacific coast department
this week calls attention to this matter
and says he believes it would be more
satisfactory to the trade in general if the
railroads would abandon this courtesy
and require cars to 90 through from origi-
mating points to destination direct. To
adopt such Il policy would be to do away
with demoralizing tendency and make
red cedar shingles less speculative pro-
duet. We would commend the sugges-
ton to the railroads and to red cedar
shippers and handlers.

An Ohio Paper Does Lewis Justice.

An Ohio Paper Does Lewis Justice.
To give the devil his due is one OF the
things the ordinary American finds easy.
Representative James Hamilton Lewis,
temporarily eclipsed because the silver
people in his state were overconfident, is
no relation OF the king of the neither
world. but in this embalmed beef business
some credit is due him. Publications like
the esteemed vitrlolic New York Sun,
which endeavors to sneer him ont Of poll
tics by referring to him as ",Jim Ham
Lewis" His Pink Whskers" or "the
Sage OF Squilamoosb," will not give him
what is due him.
Lewis, it appears, was first to condemn
lot of the embalmed beef, which he did
while serving on the staff OF Gen. Fred
| Grant, as volunteer aid. Special order
No. 26, issned by Gen. Grant, gave him
authority to inspect the commissary sup
plies Lewis inspected the meat at New
Tort News and Il newspaper at that place
published the fact that "Jim Ham," az
his friends call him, had condemned a
lot of it.
Lewis, in his campaign, made speech
on TRUSTS and Treason," wherein he
called attention to the meat which smelled
not as il it were tainted, but as il it were
picked cadaver. The republicans, led
| by Senator Wilson's friends, said it was a
falsehood. They sent to Washington to
prove that Lewis had no such orders as
he pretended and made no report. a
newspaper man assigned to prove that
! Lewis was romarcer found that special
orders from No. 25 to No. 30 we're missing
from the files Of the adjutant-general' S
Office. Reports in Gen. Eagan's Office,
including the number given by Lewis.
were also missing.
Then the republicans in Washington
published in black faced type that Eagan
said there never wa, any report OF my
kind about any meet being bad. They
failed, however, to say that these reports
the numbers OF which were furnished by
Lewis, we're missing The whole force of
Secretary Ayers office was turned on to
defeat Lewis.
Since Gen. Miles has stated that the
beef was embalmed the republican news
papers in Washington state have not been
chirruping 80 loudly about Lewis being a
romancer. Miles appears to have saved
copies of the damaging reports, so he is
not in such hole as Lewis was during his
campaign.-Cleveland Plaindealer.

A SERMON ON CHAi. !. YERKEs.

Charles Il. Yerkes has been prominent
for many years and In many ways.
Last Sunday he made his first appear
ance as a preacher. The columns Of
the Tribune We're his pulpit. His utter.
ances on that occasion have naturally
created a sensation both in Chicago
and among the brethren of Wall street.
They deserve the attention of every
thoughtful man.
Mr.. ierkes has had too much to do
with street railways to he "modcl cit.
lien" But those who have denounced
his methods as Il traction company
manager will not care TO question his
shrewdncss and ability as a financicr.
Therefore, when he speaks on the sub
ject of Wall street, of the Stock FIX
change, and Of speculation in stocks,
he speaks as an authority ana his
words have weight.
Young men, anxious to grow rich rap
idly, will do well to listen TO the ser.
mon of Preacher Yerkes, pointing out
and making clear the pitfalls which lie
open before them.
"The man who enters Wall street Is
an idiot"
1.-THE man who speculates will lose in
the end, and ! don't care how much
money he has. When he starts that
way guardian should be appointed
for him"
These are the texts on which Mr..
Yerkes bases his sermon. They are not
texts which inculcate any high idea of
morality. They approach the subject
rather from the standpoint of worldly
wisdom. They should appeal, therefore,
with greater force to those who con-
Chicago eagle. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1889-19??, 1899-12-16

slider themselves worldly wise. They are
spoken out of long and doubtless
somewhat bitter experience by u man
who knows whereof he speaks.
When Mr.. Yerkes declares that he
never speculates; that, In fact. he has
not looked mt a stock list for thirteen
years. he shows himself to he n man
who practices what he breaches. When
he declares that no outsider can ''play
the ticker" for two years without losing
his money he utters a warning which
ought to carry great weight. Without
intending any comparison to Mr.
Yerkes, it is a safe proposition that
when an old gambler declares the cards
to Ike stacked amateur players will dc
we'll to stay out Of the game.
When good morals and worldly wis
dom unite in this way to denOunce spec
ulation as an easy road TO wealth the
narrow path to an honest competenc!
ought to lie plain and open before ever,
