HARDWOOD FORESTS
OF UPPER PENINSULA
Lumbermen Will Work Them to
the Limit From Now On.

Lumbermen win Work Them to
the Limit From Now On.
A dispatch from Menominee to the
Detroit Tribune says:
"The value of the hardwood for
ests OF the upper peninsula has al
ways been recognized, but it is only
within the last few years that bard
wood has been logged in any con-
siderable quantities and mills
erected for it's manufacture. The
upper peninsula has not exhausted
this resource and it will be worked
for all it is worth in the future.
More attention than ever before is
being given to maple, birch, beech,
cherry, ash and other northern Mich
igan hardwoods for furniture max
ing and inside finish for residences.
Oak, which has been used so exten-
sively for furniture, especially dur
ing the past few years, is becoming
scarce, and the price has rapidly
advanced, so that furniture men are
now looking for cheaper material.
There is nothing handsomer or
richer than birdseye and curly
maple, and birch, beech and ash
take a very high finish. The forests
of northern Michigan are largely
composed OF these woods and there
promises to be an active demand
soon for these and other varieties of
hardwood grown here.

The Porto Rico middle.

While the Republican leaders are con
graduating the country upon the rare
skill with which they have handled the
Porto Rico problem, it is noteworthy
that the problem is very far from being
settled, ard that the Porto Ricans
themselves are a long way from being
satisfied It is true tbs certain natives
of the island recently called upon Sen
ator Foraker and INDUCED in a little
sush over him, but at the same time
they made statements as to Porto RiCo's
needs and purposes that amount to
nothing less than a singing rebuke to
the policy that has been pursued by the
Administration, and in which Mr.. For
aker has been a somewhat prominent
actor.
There can be no doubt that Industrial
conditions in the island are bad. the
reseate reports of Governor Allen to the
contrary Notwithstanding The state
ments Of disinterested eyewitnesses,
coupled with the heavy emigration of
Iaborers, leave no room for reasonable
doubt on this point Equally certain is
it that, in part at least. the Foraker
Payne tariff is responsible for existing
conditions. and that the Porto Ricans
are intensely anxious to get rid of that
measure. which inhibits trade between
themselves and the mainland portion of
the United States save upon the pay
ment of a tax
More than this, the recent Supreme
Court decision, which the Republicans
are. everywhere hailing as a partisan
victory. has clouded the legal status of
the Porto Ricans themselves It seems
to make them American citizens for
some purposes, but aliens for others,
and always subject to the shifting
whlms of Congress. a Porto Rican is
admitted to practice in the Supreme
Court Of the United States; from which
il IS TO be inferred thai he is regarded
as citizen. We learn from New Or
leans that Porto Rican beggars are
stranded there. and that the authorities
are perpIexed over What should be done
with them. it not being considered law
full to treat them as aliens and send
them to Porto Rico as a foreign coun-
try.
IN short, the Porto Rfcan seems to be
q citizen Of the Republic. while his is
land home is not q part Of the Republic.
When he is in New Orleans he is pro-
tected by the Constitution; when he is
in Porto Rico the Constitution fails 20
reach him All in all, the Porto Rican
situation presents the most curious
muddIe Of mixed citizenship and alien
age that has ever arisen in the United
States-one. in fact. that could scarcely
have been dreamed Of as a possibility
But the Republicans did il, and, there
fore. it must be right

HOME RULE FOR CITIES.
How 1t Was Accomplished in the
State of Nebraska

OMAHA June 26--The different cities
of Pennsylvania which are the victims Of
the Ripper bills. the Supreme Court
having recently avowed the validity of
those measures, are making enquiry into
fhe mode in Nebraska where each nun. CT
.,ality stands its own master with no
mans word stronger than its own. The
freedom of cities came only after a bit
ter struggle following the drawing up OF
the new charter of 1875 for Omaha This
took from the mayor and council the
power of appointing a board of fire and
police commissioners. and vested it in
the Governor. Governor Holcornb acted
without delay in discharging the old
board, installing men who had rendered
service in State politics. The ousted men,
bers at once brought proceedings before
District Judge c. R. Scott They urged
that the new method of appointment was
in violation of the bill of rights which
guaranteed to a community the right Of
self government.
Whenever the Constitution did not spec
ify otherwise. the petitioners pointed out,
no Legislature could prevent municipal
ity from enjoying the privileges belonging
to freedom citizens The new act was
said to involve taxation without represen-
tatiOn- The justice of the petitioners
views was recognized by Judge Scott. who
Teinstated the old board in defiance of
the newly adopted charter.
The HOlcOmD board, however. barricad-
ed itself in its office and refused to give
place 1t threatened to call the county
officers to it's aid, and a number Of depu-
ties were sworn in. The city appointees
relied for their part upon the police force.
and excitement ran high. In the mean
time the Holcomb board brought quo war
rauto proceedings before the Supreme
Court hoping TO be retained in power.

OIL TO DIsPLAcE COAL.

NEW YORK, June z6.-.It is my belief

come to this country to examine the oil
regions of Texas and West Virginia He
arrived in this city last Saturday on the
Lucania. Mr. Brabazon is tweuty-nine
years old. In continuing to speak Of his
belief that coal would IN short time give
way TO oil as a fuel, he said:
.'On is more cheaply and easily obtain
ed than coal The means Of drawing it
out of the ground have been perfected to
q
and of money has been reduced TO min
imum- The chief reason 1 have come TO
inspect your fields is because your means
of obtaining oil are entirely different
from the method in operation in Russia
and other parts of the oil country There
the oil is baiIed out, 50 to speak, drawn
up by buckets. Here, ! understand, it is
forced out by means of compressed air.

is superior, but l have come TO ind out

The supply Of petroleum is practically
ineXhaustible. At Baku, Russia, on the
Caspian Sea. there are strata of enormous
length filled with petroleum, which viii
of the mselVes furnish the supply for sew
eral centuries to come.
on Is gaining an ever Increasing favor
with the steamship companies The line
of steamers plying between BorneO and

stead of coal. Other steamships are be-
ing reftted for oil consumption for trade
