SHIPMENTS OF AMERICAN LUMBER.

The lumber markets OF the orient and
the share which the United States is
likely to have in supplying them is the
subject just now of some attention by
the department of commerce and labor
thru its bureau of statistics. The bu-
reau recently received and published
reports of American consuls in the ORR
ent which announced the arrival of the
first cargo of lumber in the Chinese
market by Russian vessel from Vladi-
vostock. This fact opens the question
of future competition for the oriental
market between the American lumber
interests on the Pacific coast, on the
one hand. and that of the Russians in
Siberia and on the Yalu river on the
sources are awaiting development. The
American industry of the Pacific coast
has the advantage of organization on a
large scale and of mechanical equip
ment unequalled by that of any other
field in the world. This IS evidenced
by the rate of annual production. I'm
official estimates put the annual cut OF
lumber and shingles of the three Pa
cific states at 4,6Oo.OO00O0 feet of
which California supplies s60,00O,O 600
feet, Oregon 74o,OOo,oo0 feet and Wash
ington 2.SOo.0oo,ooo feet. At this rate
IL is calculated that the forests of the
Pacific coast Will be exhausted in forty
years.
AS IT would naturally be expected,
the Pacific lumbermen have been rap
idly charging their area and volume of
commercial distribution, both in the
foreign and the domestic markets. Ac-

Why THE EIGHT COLUMNS.

This weeks issue of the Hampton
Chronicle says:
1.-THE Marshalltown Times -Repub-
| lican has been receiving from several
OF its friends criticisms on how to i'm
prove the paper. The paper does not
need much criticism from any stand
point. 1t is trst-class in every par
ticular, one of the best published in any
city in the country, and probably much
better than any paper in the world
published in a town the size of Mar
shalltown. Its news service of foreign
and national news is complete. con-
tanning the real news instead of page
or two of hot air like the Chicago pa
pers before they get down to the facts.
The Iowa news service of the Mar
shalltown paper is away ahead of any
other Iowa daily, and this service has
been largely instrumental in building
up the paper to its present excellent
standard 1t has been managed by
business men, and quality has been put
into the paper instead of quantity, and
this means that the paper has not only
been prosperous, but 1t has also given
it an excellent standing among the
thousands of people who read it daily.
There is only one thing the matter with
the Times Republican. and while it
can, perhaps, improve in news service
in a few Instances, 1t certainly ought
to chop off that eighth column from
its pages. The paper would look better
and be much more easily handled by
its readers as well as the force in its
own office"
Such words of commentator, Of
course, never fail TO please the men of
the Times Republican office, but the
management can not let the suggestion
as to the eight columns go by unno-
ticed. If it were believed that the
eighth column could be spared without
loss 10 the reader and consequently to
the circulation department the saving
III expense each year would pay good
dividends on a capital sufficiently large
to more than buy out the Times
Republican plant When other dailies
were cutting their subscription price

as the Pilot carried us through those
matchless scenes of self forgetting love
and service the rapt wonder in the
child's face as she listened, the appeal
| in her-yoice as, now to her father and
now to me, she cried, "Is that true, too?
Is it all true?' made it<impossible for
me to hesitate in my answer And
| I was glad to find 1t easy to gav0 my
| firm adherence to the truth OF all that
| tale Of wonder. And as more and more
it grew upon the Pilot that the story
| he was reading. SO old to him and to
all he had ever met, was new to one In
that.nstenins group. his face began to
glow and his eyes to blaze, and he saw
and showed me things that night I
| had never seen before, nor have I seen
them since. Tho great figure OF the
gospels lived, moved before our eyes.
We saw him bend to touch the blind.
we heard him speak his marvellous
teaching, we felt the thr0bhing excite
ment Of the crowds that pressed
against him.
Suddenly the Pilot stopped. turned
over the leaves and began again: "And
he led them out as far as to Bethany.
And he lifted up his hands and blessed
them And it came to pass as he bless
ed them he was parted from them and
cloud received him out Of their sight.
There was silence for some minutes.

"Where did he got?

simply.
"Thats where mother is," she said to
her father, who nodded In reply.
docs he know?" she asked. The old
man looked distressed.
"Of course he does" said the Pilot.
"and she sees him all the time"
ooh, daddyr' she cried. "Isn't that
good?'
But the old man only hid his face IN
his hands and groaned.
YES" went on the Pilot, Aand he
sees us, too and hears Us speak ana
knows our thoughts
Again the look Of wonder and fear
came into her eyes, but she said no
word. The experiences Of the evening
had made the world nav to her It
could never be the same to her again.
1t gave me queer feeling to see her.

clear, sweet voice, "Some day you will
go to her.
Upon this scene poor Gwen gazed with
eyes wide open with amazement and a
kind of fear She had never seen her
father weep since the awful day that
she could never forget, when he had
kneIt in dumb agony beside the bed on
which her mother lay white and still;
nor would he heed her till, climbing up,
she tried to make her mother waken
and hear her cries. Then he had caught
her up in his arms, pressing her with
tears and great sobs to his heart. To-
night she seemed to feel that some
thing was wrong. She went and stood
by her father, and, stroking his gray
hair fondly, she said:
WHAT is he saying, daddy? Is he
making you cry?" She looked at the
Pilot defantly.

hastily, "sit here and listen"
And while the storm raved outside
we three sat listening to that ancient
story of love ineffable. And, as the
words fell like sweet music upon our
ears, the old man sat with eyes that
looked far away. while the child lis
tened with devouring eagerness.
"Is it fairy tale, daddy?" she asked
as the Pilot paused. ut isn't true, Is
it," and her voice had pleading note
hard for the old man to bear.

quickly. 'Tl read it all to you to-
morrow. It's beautiful story

The Pilot gazed in surprise at her

The supreme court of North Carolina

Railway Company during the 1900
campaign. Mr.. SeaweE was then a

}WI 4 with fear, that began with
49, Gwen. But even had been
SSEssJ able to foresee the endless
series OF eXasperations through which
she was destined to conduct me, still
would l have undertaken my task.
For the child, with all her willfulness,
her tempers and her pride, made me,
as she did all others, her willing slave.
Her lessons went on, brilliantly or
not at all, according to her sweet will.
She learned to read with extraordinary
rapidly, for she was eager to know
more of that great world Of which the
Duke had told her such thrilling tales.
Writing she abhorred. She had no
one to write to. Why should she
little marks? But she mastered with
hardly a struggle the mysteries of fig
ures, for she would have to sell her
cattle. and dad doesn't know when
they are cheating" Her ideas Of edu
cation were purely unitarian, and
what did not appear Immediately use
full she refused to trihe with. And so
all through the following long winter
she vexed my righteous soul with her
willfulness and pride. An appeal to
her father was idle She would wind
her long, thin arms about his neck
and let her waving red hair float over
him until the old man was quite help
less to exert authority The Duke
could do most with her. To please
him she would struggle with her crook
ed letters for an hour at time, but
even his influence and authority had
its limits.
Must II" she said one day in an
swer to demand Of his for more
faithful study; must II" And,
throwing up her proud little head and
shaking back with trick she had
her streaming red hair, she looked
straight at him from her blue gray
eyes and asked the monosyllabic ques-
ton, Why" And the Duke looked
back at her with his slight smile for
a few moments and then said in cold,
even tones:
81 really don't know why" and
turned his back on her. Immediately
she sprang ut him, shook him by the
arm and, quivering with passion, cried:
"You are not to speak to me like that,
and you are not to turn your back
that way"
what little princess it is" he said
admiringly, "and what time she will
give herself some dayw Then he added,
smiling sadly: "Was 1 rude, Gwen?
Then am sorry" Her rage was gone,
and she looked as if she could have
held him by the feet. AS it was, too
proud to show her feelings, she just
looked at him with softening eyes, and
then sat down to the work she had
refused. This was after the advent Of
the Pilot at Swan Creek, and, as the
Duke rode home with me that night,
after long musing he said with hesita-
ton: "She ought to have some re-
ligion, poor child; she will grow up a
perfect little devil. The Pilot might
be of service if you could bring him
up. Women need that sort of thing.
1t refines, you know"
"Would she have him." asked.
"Question," he replied doubtfully.
"You might suggest it."
Which I did, introducing somewhat
clumsily, fear, the Dukes name.
1.-THE Duke says he is to make me
goodw she cried. 81 won't have him.

that day she disdained all lessons, and
when the Duke next appeared she
greeted him with the exclamation, Il
