OPERATORS BEGIN
THE BOX CUTTING
-
Indications for an lncreas-
ed Product Not
So Good
INDUSTRIAL RECORD TALKS
The Well Known Trade Journal De.
clares That the Situation at Pres
ent is Not at All Encouraq-
ing in This Section.

| What is known to be the "box cut
ling seas m" in the turpentine in
dustry has begun, and the indications
are that many operators are preparing
for greatly extending their operations
, and materially increasing next years
output
Ihe indications for an increased
production have alarmed the more
conservative element OF naval stores
men, in fact, and the Weekly Indus
trial Record, of Jacksonville, which
is an authority on naval stores mat
ters, declares, editoria y that the sit
uation at this particu time, is any
thing but satisfactor! In leading
editorial the Record jays:
In the last issue he Record ad-
yised all turpentine operators to go
slow in box cutting, & 5 the Indicate rs
we're that there would pe great many
more boxes cut tha' could possibly
be worked, and tina market con H.
tions could not be favorably mainta H.
ed unless the opera ors should use
conservatism along this line. Since
that time we have had letters from
number of operators stating they
would not cat more boxes than they
did last year, and two operators stated
they would not cut any new boxes
whatever. depending upon their old
boxes for their 1904 output. This
Is encouraging news. We have had IN
foration. however, ON the other hand
from a number oof sources, that other
operators are preparing to- cut more
extensively than ever before, and the
indications, even now, at this writ
ing, are that unless the producers
make a determined effort to keep the
box cutting down, the situation will
not be an encouraging one the com
ig season.
THE Record made the point that it
was more profitable to hold the round
Simber than to box it. In Confirma-
ton Of this argument one operator In
Marion county, Fla, writes us that
round timber bought by him three
years ago, in which an ak had not
been struck, has profted him more
by the enhancement of values than
other round timber purchased at the
same time that he turpentined. Ihls
is not Only the experience of one
man, but of hundreds, and the fact is
that the ratio of enhancement is in
creasing all the time. This argument
works two ways If you will hold
your round timber without working
it you will make more by its in,
creased valuation; if you hold your
box cutting down and work well your
old boxes, the market for turpentine
will be sustained, you will get more
for yorr product. and will be in better
he wortJhdition generally.
v--.~In general, is a matter that,
is worthy of the most serious consid-
Grafton by every operator. There is
no sentiment about it. 1t is a plain
business proposition. 1t is question
CT getting all there is out of a place,
Of doing we'll what we do, and get
ting pad for 1t on a reasonable and
equitab basis".

Making Hero Of Him.

Two Of a dozen jurors refused to
convict an alleged train robber in
Arizona. claiming they could not act
upon the testimony given by two con-
victs.
Federal officials thereupon had the
jurors arrested on a supposition that
they had been bribed, or at least per
jured themselves and obstructed the
administration Of justice.
But the accused were released with
but a reprimand, for they alone were
necessarily the judges of what testi-
mony they believed.
