Minnesota is our last great source
Of white pine lumber. and its supply
will be exhausted withia the next Ave
years II the present nate of consump-
ton continues. The greatest staple In
QUE lumber market seems destined to
disappear. Maine. once the white pine
state. ceased long ago to be . source
Of supply. The Michigan pineries were
nearly exhausted i've years ago, and
the lumbermen Of Wisconsin say they
expect to cut the last white pine Id
that state this winter on the Chippewa
river. Tho disappearance of so large
an industry will be national misfor-
tuna. Only few years ago there were
eighty large sawmills In Fond du Lac,
Eau Claire and Marathon, wisconsin
towns; but now all have disappeared,
and the men who worked in connec-
ton with them have had to change
thair business or seek employment In
other lumber regions. More than 49,
0o9 men are cutting white pine in Min
nosota this winter. and their wages
amount to more than $3.50 900 a month.
About 10000 men are employed In the
aavmtlls Of Minneapolis. and over no.
700 men In the state make their living
out Of the lumber industry. They
know thnt in o few years more they
must find other work, and many talk
already IF following their present en-
ployers 10 the Pacific coast, where some
of then are acquiring large interests
in the lumber lands of Washington,
Oregon and California. Thus an army
of axmea Will bave crossed the conti-
nent. laying inv the greatest pinerles
OF the country. Thus far 1t has not
paid Pscific Coast lumbermen to send
much of their product east, SO their
surplus has been sent to foreign mar
kets. But when We begin to draw more
largel! upon the southern pines. and
northern spruce and hemlock, 1t will
certainly be profitable to send Pacific
lumber to the eastern markets. There
is for Us no serious prospect Of a lum-
Der famine. The United States will
continue 70 beat the world in the vari-
ETY., excellence and abundance of its
timber available for saving. But we
shall use good deal of soft lumber
not 70 desirable as white pine. This
Country should begin in earnest the
study of methods of outstanding and
cultiyating OF: timber SO that we may
always hare an abundance. Lumber

County Physicians Not to Be Allow
ed TO Receive Pay From Prisoners.

At the January meeting of the County
Commissioners yesterday afternoon the
Committee on Jail submitted a report on
a communication received by the board
from the commissioners of Decatur coun-
ty. 1t appears that during the last year
a prisoner in the Jail. that had been sent
from cambridge for safe keeping. had
become Ill and the jail physician DR.. T..
B. Chisholm. had charged fee for medi-
cal attention.
The report of the committee showed
that the original resolution authorizing
the employment of a county physician
did not expressly assert or negative his
right to charge fee for his services in
cases like that under consideration, but
that in the opinion of the committee such
charge from the physician was not con-
templated by the board in the passage Of
the resolution. This opinion was
strengthened by the fact that the county
receives a per diem of so cents for each
prisoner held at the Jail from another
county.
The committee recommended that in the
pending case the commissioners of Deca-
tur county should pay DR.. Chisholm $25,
half of the fee charged, and that in the
future the board should take action. re-
curing the physician 10 attend prisoners
from other counties without charge. DR..
Chisholm stated TO the committee that the
custom of charging for these cases had
been handed down to him from his pFede-
cessor. Before March, when the fiscal
year of the county begins, it was deter
mined 10 pass resolutions declaring this
custom illegal
Mr. r. L. Polk, manager of the Georgia
Telephone Company. desired to appear be-
fore the board to argue the question of
the propriety of the boards order in d.
recting the removal of certain poles erect
ed by the company along the right of way
of 1Ja.e and Schwarz avenues. He was
notified that so far as the poles on
Schwarz avenue were concerned, the &C
ton of the board was final, and that the
Dale avenue matter had been referred to
the Committee on Roads and Bridges.
At the meeting the county bills for the
past month were considered and bills tc
to the amount of $17,7OO were passed for
payment.

PLAN FoR INDUSTRIAL MEETING.
Committee VIII Meet This Afternoon
to Formulate One.

The committee appointed at the meeting
OF the Merchants Association at the
Screven House Wednesday afternoon to
formulate plan for presentation to
mass meeting Of citizens to be called by
the Mayor in the interests of Savannahs
future as manufacturing town will meet
this afternoon.
When the plan has been presented to the
meeting by the Mayor discussion will be
invited. Doubtless there will be many
business men and capitalists interested in
the city and the bringing of manufactur-
ing enterprises here present, and it is ex-
lions thrown out. The committee will in
vite several gentlemen whose opinions will
carry weight to be present.
No one who attends will be asked to
subscribe to any fund, although il is now
understood TO be the committees intention
TO advocate the formation of an indus
trial association that will be a stock COM
pany The shares in this association will
have to be taken by Savanuahians.
A gentleman, who was present at the
last meeting of the Merchants Assoca-
ton, remarked that it impressed him that
there was not sufficient stress laid upon
the probability that such a n association
could be readily made q source of profit.
There seemed rather an idea that the
money invested would be Just that much
contributed without hope of any return,
those advocating the plain falling TO dwell
upon the dividends that such company
might be abe to make.
1t is conceded that there should be
money in all sorts OF manufacturing en-
terprises that have raw material within
easy reach at Savannah Mr.. z. FL. Levy
said yesterday that there is no reason why
an industrial association should not share
in these profits. An investment in part
of the stock of a factory to be established
in Savannah would bring in returns, and
Mr. Levy thinks the holders of the stock
would profit directly as well as indirectly
through the establishment of factories.
1t is proposed TO continue investing and
reinvesting as hong as the association has
money in hand, and manufacturers are
willing TO pull up stakes where advantages
are not what they formerly were for the
sake of taking advantage of the superior
ones offered by Savannah. Ii is Mr.. Levy 5
idea that an inves ment in say Is or 20 per
cent of the stock of a company undertake

promise of the association to sell out to

treasury for the inducement of further

VICTIM OF RECKLESS DRIVER.
Elderly Lady knocked Down by a
Heavy Wagon.

Miss Clarinda Bliss, an elderly lady, was
Knocked down by a wagon at Broughton
and Whitaker streets about 10 o'clock yes
terday morning and painfully, though not
seriously, injured.
Miss Bliss was crossing Broughton street
going north, and had almost reached the
opposite side when she was struck by the
pole of heavy two-horse wagon driven
by a young negro. William Brown. The
force of the blow knocked the lady down,
and the fact that she fell a little to one
side is probably all that saved her life,
for had she fallen directly In front of the
horses she would have been badly tram
pied; as it was, one of the horses stepped
on her left arm, breaking it at about the
wrist and she also has many painful
bruises from the fall She was carried
into the store of the Branch estate until
a hack could be called and she was then
taken TO her home. at 121 Gordon street
west, being accompanied there by Mr.. NJ
Ed Wilson.
Dr. l.. A. Falligant was called in and
set the broken arm, but says that it will
be at least six weeks before it. will be
thoroughly healed.
The negro was arrested and taken to the
barracks. In the Recorders Court this
morning he will be called on to answer
for fast and reckless driving.
