EXPENSIVE WALNUT WOOD.
II Is Becoming Scarcer and More
Valuable Every Year.
From the Chicago Record)

From the Chicago Record)
Indiana timber land. which was con-
siGered the best in the country is being
SO rapidly denuded Of the once splendid
forests OF hardwood timber that specula
tors are seeing the advantage of gobbling
up everything that may be got in the
way of timber tracts.
The walnut and hickory of Indiana and
Ohio are considered the best that can be
had and the monster poplars which once
formed the nucleus for the log heap fire
are now worth individually more as they
stand thsn the acres they occupy will bring
when cleared. many poplar tree selling
for $40 before an axe touches it.
The walnut that was once so plentiful
that barn timbers. house stills. fencerails,
etc, were made from it is becoming ex-
ceed.ngly scarce, and curled walnut stumps
have brought almost fabulous prices, while
hickory of the shellbarE variety can
scarcely be found in some of the best sec
lions.
last years purchase, by a Goshen, Ind,
firm of fifty-five standing walnut trees
near the northern Indiana line for $4,000
and the handsome sum they made out of
the handling of this rare clump of trees
has proved an incentive in the search for
timber in other directions. Grant county
furnished notable instance in the sale
of l,c3G acres of virgin forest in the Wood
tract the last large forest in Indiana, for
$4,000. A New York firm bought the
walnut timber where It stood for sos, 000
four hundred acres Of land, the timber be-
ing reserved by the seller, sold for $40, 0OO
and there remains $50 acres of the rest
timber in Indiana, the walnut alone being
sold from it. The buyers viii clear $50, 600
by their deal in that timber.
Where years ago the lumbermen went
only for large tracts, they are now content
with individual trees, and wherever there
is notably fine forest monarch Of the
desirable variety, its whereabouts become
widely known and the competition is very
sharp.

A HARD BLOW
Popu1ist Party Has No For
ther EXCISE for Political
Existence.
Interesting Admission Is Made
by Dairy Commissioner
NJ. Bowler.
Faflufe to Nominate Towne
Greatly Disappoints Fu-
sion Leaders.
(From the Minneapolis Tribune.)

(From the Minneapolis Tribune.)
At last the Populist leaders of Minnesota
are acknowledging that their party is but
a mockery of what it. once was, and they
are preparing for the final migration, body
and breeches, into the Democratic camp.
There is no use in longer keeping
up q mock party. said Maj. J. M.
Bowler, state dairy commissioner, to
The Tribune yesterday. 1t looks to me
that we would have to abandon the
party and begin to call ourselves
Democrats.
Maj. Bowler has been brought to this
opinion by the failure Of the Democratic
national convention to recognize the Popu-
list party by ratifying the nomination of
Charles A. Towne for the vice. presidential
nomination He holds the opinion that the
failure to do so will result in q loss to
the Democracy of Minnesota. although he
would make no estimate regarding the
number who would return to the Republican
party in the event of final dissolution.
The Populist and Silver Republican
leaders had concocted the neat little
scheme OF having Towne, Silver Republic
an, and the nominee of the Populist party,
placed upon the Democratic ticket That
would have meant fusion which would
whole vexed question and would have car
ried into the Democratic ranks q greater
portion Of the allied following than is now
possible, and the failure of their scheme
has struck them in a tender spot They
freely admit that the charges made time
and again by men like Barker and DON
nelly and other midroaders, will be so
completely proven that there will be no
chance for argument now that the Democ-
racy has turned a cold shoulder for the
second time.
The midroaders can now spread the news
throughout the Populist communities that
the Democrats have no use for their allies
and the discomfort thus stirred up will rem
der fruitless all attempts to keep the recall
citrants in line for Lind and the Democratic
ticket.
