VALUABLE WALNUT TREES.

One Cut in North Carolina Said to Have
Brought 100000.
There IS more wealth in our forests
than in gold mines, il the timber is
properly cared for Ole walnut tree.
cut in Haywood County last week,
brought $1,000. The people who live
in such a country are rich if they only
know it. This recalls an interview
with Mr.. s. L. Rogers, corporation
commissioner. which recently ap-
peared in the High Point (N. c. Enter
prise. We quote:
Railroad Commissioner Rogers, who
was here Saturday, was talking about
the value of North Carolina timber.
He said that he had only one story to
relate, and that was big one. A man
in Western North Carolina was selling
standing timber-walnut trees. The
man who was buying came to one
very handsome tree. He told the
owner he would pay as much rs $50
for that tree. This excited the owner.
He did not sell. but sent for experts.
The owner got $500 for the tree
(curled walnut as it stood. The man
who cut it down realized $4,000 for it
on the cars. 1t was shipped to New
York and vcncered one-sixth to one
half an inch. The sales were watched
and estimated as the best that could
be done. and when all was disposed
OF it turned out that the tree brought
near 100000. The point is this: We
hive no idea as to the value Of our
timber, much Of which is being sent
North for a mere song. We can be-
come rich in North Carolina If we
work our raw material as others work
it for us."-Ealeigh News and Cbser-
