Timber Consumption.

In the report Of Expert A. J.
Johnson, who was commissioned
to prepare the forestry exhibit
FOR the Pan-American Exposi.
ton, has made a report relative
to the timber resources of Ore
gon. Following is an interest
ing extract from his report, and
relates entirely to the consunp-
tion of the timber Of this state:
Roughly speaking, the total
consumption Of timber in the
state for the present year will
amount to 900, 900, 900 feet. OF
this quantity the mills are cred
tied with SOC, 900, 900, and the
remaining 400, 900, 900 covers
that which will be used for fuel,
fence posts, fence rails, railroad
ties and such 1niscellaIies.
1t is interesting to- note that
the mills will consume 100, 600,
600 more feet this year than was
consumed last year. This is
proof that not only have many
new mills been established, but
that all the ~old mills, some OF
which have been closed, have
been kept running full blast.
Another interesting fact to note
ls that the fuel consumption
almost equals that Of the mills.
Last year the fuel consump-
ton was the same and upon
former years larger. It is only
within the last year that the
mill supply exceeds that of the
fuel supply. Lack of cheap coal
causes 400, 900, 900 feet Of fuel
to be consumed for fuel every
year. Nearly all the steamboats,
running Oh the rivers, many of
the engines running out of the
city, and the principal factories
and industries ! in Oregon use
wood for steam purposes. AS
soon as a cheap grade of coal is
placed upon the market as is
promised in the near future,
this consumption will be cut
down to nominal figure.

What Others Have Done.

DR.. James Withycombe, vice
director of the o A Q Expert
ment Station, who is now in the
East, has written a very inter
esting letter to G. H. Markham,
from which the following extract
is taken. 1t will demonstrate to
the farmers of the valley what
cas1 be done, and clearly shows
that some of the Eastern states
have experienced the exact con-
ditions that are now confronting
the farmers of the Willamette
Valley. The following is CLEANED
A visit to the dairying SEQ
tions of these states cannot fail
to impress one favorably, as the
ear marks of prosperity are in
evidence On every hand. To
illustrate this point, perhaps
statistics obtained in Jefferson
county, Wis, will best serve my
purpose. This county has a
population of about 40, 900 and
there are abent 40, 900 COWS kept
in the county, yielding an an
nual revenue from skim-i milk,
butter and cheese of 81, 900, 900.
Before die advent Of dairying
there grain growing was the
principal agricultural industry.
During this period the average
crop Of wheat dropped to about

When the voters of the Uni

far as it is in the power of the
best brains in the nation to de-

eight bushels per acre and 90
per cent Of the farms were mort

of dairying the average yield of

farmers have 81 900. 900 deposi-

TelephonIng Without Wires,

Teleph oning without wires was sue
cessfully accomplished at Minneapolis
Saturday by transmitting the voice
across the Mississippi river near the
Franklin avenue bridge, distance of
over / 900 feet
One hundred and fifty feet of copper
wire was strung parallel on either side
of the river and u five-volt current
used.
Words could be as distinctly under
stood as over the regulation wire tele.
phone. and this was again followed by
the muddled and indistinct sounds. At
one time 1T was easy to identify the
person talking by the tone of the
voice and his words were unusually
clear.
Other batteries were then attached,
five at time, finally cuttingi in twenty
volts at one end of the line, with eve
on the other. The operator at the five-
volt end could not only understand
what was being said, but could hear
others talking on the bank of the river
near the transmitter.

Buildings and School is Closed.
Wednesday was n day of excitems n t
at the Uintah agency at White Rocks,
Utah, and late in the afternoon, act
ing upon information received from
Captain Bob Ridley, Indian policem man
that threats had been made that the
school buildings would be burned,
Agent Myton requested Major Hughes,
commanding at Fort Duchesne, t., send
assistance. In responce Lieutenant
Pearson, with sixty men of troop X
were on the way promptly at p. m.
The employees here have had an
epidemic of measles to cope with. Over
thirty of the scholars in the Indian
school are down with the rhalady. and
In many cases it has developed into
complications with other things more
dangerous. Several of the patients
have tonsilits as well as measles, and
several have pneumonia The par
ents of the children have been much
dissatisfied for several days because
The children were not allowed to 20
home. The climax of the trouble cam
to head when one of the Indian fam
lilies learned that a daughter of the
house had died during the night.
Black Hawk, an Indian who has
given much trouble heretofore in var.
ious ways, made it his business to go
ito the school and demand the release
of his children. Mr.. Conner, industrial
teacher, made some resistance and was
promptly thrown over the bannister
and down the stairs by the irate In
dian, who is very strong man, and
the room was entered and the girl
taken away in spite of efforts and pro-
tests of the employees.
Several other children were then
taken away and Agent Myton decided
it was best to let all go homo who de.
sired to, and the school is temporarily
practically deserted,

ANTITRUST LAW DECISION.
Section Ono of Illinois Act Declared Up ~
stitutIonal

By decision of the Illinois circuit
court Wednesday, section of the anti
trust law of Illinois, which defines
what constitutes a trust or combina-
ton in restraint of trade, is declared
unconstitutional. Other sections Of
the law, and especially those which
compel corporations to file aflidavits
annually with the secretary of state
that they are in no way connected with
trusts or illegal combinations, and pro-
viding for fine OF $50 in case Of refus-
al to file such affidavit, are sustained
by the court.
Cases against over 500 Illinois corpo-
rations which have refused to file affi-
davits with the secretary Of state are
affected by this decision OF the court.
The court, in rendering its decision,
overruled the demurrers of the defend
ants, and held the antitrust laws valid
in the point at issue.
The decision of the court in respect
to section /, however, is regarded by
the attorneys for the defense as dis.
tinct victory for the corporations, and
is looked upon as nullifying the anti
trust law of the state in its most vital
part.
