TIMBER OF STATE.
ESTIMATE MADE By OFFICIAL OF
THE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY.
Standing Timber in the State Of Washington
Estimated at 1875, 6S7 900, 900 Feet, Board
Measure. Chehalis County Leads the State
with 1861. $4,000 Feet.

According to recent estimate of the
geological survey, the timber stand OF
the state of Washington. on the first of
the current year, was 195,6S7 ,966, 900
feet B. M. This estimate is made by
Henry Gannett, after two years of study
in the forest regions of Washington, and
after consulting the reported cruises
made under the direction of the North
ern Pacific railroad and some Of the
leading lumber companies of the state.
Two years ago the survey estimated
the timber stand in Washington to be
but ia, us. OO0, 900 feet. Itappears that
this conclusion was arrived at hurriedly,
and was to great extent mere guess
work. 1t is believed the latter figures are
as near accurate as can be had, as some
of the most expert estimators OF the SER
vice have been employed in making the
field examinations, and where compare
sons have been made, their figures close
ly agree with estimates made by private
owners or corporations. An extended
report on the forests OF Washington,
written by Professor Gannett embodying
this estimate, is now in press, and will
form one of the most attractive and USE
full works that has been put out by the
survey in several years.
In opening his paper, Professor Gan.
nett says the Washington lumberman is
skimming the cream he is taking only
the best and heaviest of the timber and
that which is most accessible, and, from
his point of view, timber within the
mountains, being difficult to log is not
regarded as having any present value.
That it will come into market event
TALLY, when the more accessible timber
is exhausted is certain, he adds, and on
this account it should properly be in
cluded in statement of the timber as
sets of the state.
Ont OF the total amount of timber in
the state of Washington, under Wash
ington lumber practice, 175, l20 million
feet are west of the crest of the Cascade
mountains; the remaining 20 1858 million
feet feet are upon it's Eastern slope and in
the Northern and Eastern portions OF the
state. West of the range the country
is heavily forested, or was before lum-
bering operations commenced. In this
portion of the state the areas naturally
devoid of timber are in trifling proper
ton to the total area. To the east the
land is mainly without timber, and
where timber exists it is sparse and it's
quality is inferior. Nearly half OF the
west forest is red fir, the other trees be-
ing cedar, hemlock, spruce and amabilis
fir. Throughout the Sound valley little
of any other species is found, the forests
being almost pure fir. Pine predomin-
ates east of the range, principally of the
yellow type, although some white pine
is found in Northeastern Washington.
Red fir is scattered through the pine
forests in considerable proportion and,
in the northeastern counties larch is
abundant. The following table gives the
stand of timber of the species recognized
by the lumbermen;

and was lead to believe that though
drinking the man knew perfect
ly we'll what he was about. A
short time before the north bound
passenger arrived (2:45 a. n.y. both
Officers Fyffe and Hamilton saw
and talked with Mr.. Dickey, but
the extent of this conversation the
officers wisely refuse to divulge.
The motive of the murder was no
doubt robbery, for it is understood
that Mr.. Dickey exposed sum of
money several times while here.
Absolutely nothing of value was
found on the body and this fact
gives strength to the theory that
murder, cold and awful, was carried
out for the mans money alone.
Mr.. Dickey left wife and child +,
about year old, also mother and
two brothers to mourn his untimely
death. He was a man that drank
very little during the greater part of
his life but lately had been known
to drink heavily at times, and when
in this mood was quarrelsome to a
large degree. A Mr.. Thomas of
Bartlesville, took charge of the re-
mains which were shipped to his old
home for burial. Mr.. Dickey was
member of the Woodmen of the
World and carried 81 900 insurance
which will go to his family.
The people of this city deeply de-
plore the crime and extend their
sympathy to the bereaved family
and earnestly pray that the GRIM
inals will speedily be brought to
justice. The fair brought number
of undesirable people to town but
as to who committed the crime the
police as well as the public are in
the dark and all await future de-
velopments.

He was an active, energetic young

more bewildered than ever. He
told you things you know, things
you don't know and things you

the Nash combination of circus

splendid efforts of these gentlemen
Chanute may lay claim and justly

perfect order was maintained and

FOULLY MURDERED.
E. V. Dickey, of BartIesvIle, Ind.
Ter, Killed and Robbed
by Unknown Thugs.

Friday morning, Aug. 29th, a
man employed in the Santa Fe
round house, while going to work,
found a body of man lying about
midway between the depot and the
southern end of the railroad yards.
Near the body and thoroughly soak
ed in the blood of the murdered
man, lay a black leather grip, a
shot gun in a yellow scabbard, a
coupling pin covered with hair and
matted blood and a piece of air.
hose, the coupling end intact.
These weapons were the ones used
in the murder. A common pocket
knife lay on the grip as if placed
there after a second thought. The
mans hat lay trampled IN the dirt
under the gun case, and the embank-
1ment gave the appearance of a
struggle. The wet ground and
,cinders were a mass of footmarks
badly confused.
From all that could be seen Mr..
Dickey had evidently made fight
for life, but the great gashes in his
head, seven in number, any one OF
which would have caused death
makes this seem an impossibility.
Mr.. Dickey was grain and hay
buyer and came to Chanute We'd
nesday morning, Aug. 27th, suppos
-edly in quest of supplies. His
actions after his arrival were those
of we'll behaved man, and un-

SUSPECTS UNDER ARREST
Sam WllIoushby and Mrs. Gulnane Are
In Custody, Pending an Investi- \.
cation of Dckey Case.

Marshal Prange arrived on We'd
nesday afternoons train with a man
and woman wno were arrested in lola
charged with the murder of e. V.
Dickey last Friday morning.
Both the man and the woman are
about the toughest looking subjects
imagina BILE, and have the appearance
OF belonging to the class that never
work.
On arriving here they were taken
at once to the office of Justice Bu-
chanan, and there interviewed by a
TIMEsreporter. The man claimed to
be Al years old, but looks younger;
the woman is about 33 years of age,
very light compleXioned, and is in
clined TO be sulky in conversation.
She Is well known in Chanute, having
lived here many years. The man talk
ed freely and at times protested his
innocence. He claims to have worked
for a Mr.. Kelly in Vinita, l. t., for
the last two years, but left there in
company with the woman about four
weeks,ago, coming to Erie and staying
ten days, then coming to Chanute to
attend the fair. He claims that they
arrived here last Thursday on the
noon traln, TOOK IN the falT In the af-
ternOOn and went to lola the same
night on late train.
The mans whereabouts while here,
as told by both himself and the wO-
man, do not agree in every detail.
During the interview he was so ner-
vOus that he could not talk intelli-
gently or answer questions quickly,
while the woman seemed to he not
the least worried over past or future
events.
The preliminary trial will take place
this morning at 10 o'clock, and as the
couple could not give the necessary
bonds they were committed to Jail at
once.
Marshal Prange has worked faith
fully on the case, and just what evil
dence he will offer Is known only to
himself and immediate officers.

CHINESE AND HIS PEN.

Little Anecdote that Shows Dizziness
of the Oriental.
A certain newspaper man, who was
induced to try" a stylographic pen,
got 1t out of order by reckless treat
, ment, and took it to a pen-shop for
repair. The man there soon showed
him that there was nothing serious the
matter with it, the only trouble being
that he had neglected to do some little
thing in using it. Then he began to
take the pen apart for the newspaper
mans instruction, so that he might
see how very simple a thing it is.
Simple!" cried the indignant owner
of the instrument. lit is as complicat
ed as Chinese puzzle! l don't won
der that l can't make it go when
l want it tot"
The penman laughed.
You remind me-" he said, that
there is Chinese in this town who
used a stylographic regularly. He came
here to buy one several months ago,
and when / showed it to him he began
to take it all apart. l hurriedly
stopped him, supposing that he would
do it an injury, but he at once put
down the value of the pen, saying
that it was his, and then continued
MS dissection of it. l give you my
word that he handled that pen more
deity than the man who made it,
and in five minutes he had it put to-
gether again, so that it worked better
than 1t did at first. Those fellows
beat the world at understanding little
details. Now, an Irishman or an
American-I beg your pardon-could
never have done that; and, remem-
Der, it was the first pen of the kind
the Chinese ever saw" -Philadelphia

about, got into jam, had her opera

cigars ever swaddled in tin-foil. No
wonder he thought the world must be
growing better! He had totally for
gotten that he did not mail a certain
letter that was handed to him by
young lady. He will never think of
it again, for the evidence necessary
to recall the matter to the masculine
mind had, in his case, entirely disap.
