Disapproved.

Senator Hatton's resolution for the
appointment of delegates in each
state to meet at Atlanta next July
to discuss the negro question receives
scant approval in the south. Many
southerners look upon the PROPOSE
ton as a piece of intermeddling i'm
pertinence. The question of the
social amenities between the two
races is logically confined to the
south where the races exist together
in something like equal numbers.
People at the north do not and can
not know how exasperating the
question is in South Carolina, Ala
bama, Mississippi and some other of
the southern states, where the negro
is either in the numerical majority
or approximate to the number OF
white people.
Southern editors say the recent
discussion of the question is unfortu-
nate. Agitation will only result in
further unsettled conditions. Peace,
patience and good judgment are
necessary in the present situation
The question will work itself out to
the best interest of both races.

Forestry at the Worlds Fair.

Provision has been made for a
splendid and commodious building
at the Universal Exposition of St.
Louis, 1904, in which TO display the
appliances and processes used in
forestry, the products of the cultiva-
ton of forests and forest industries,
appliances and implements for gath
ering forest products, and the rela-
ton of forestry to the industries and
progress of the world.
The subject will be represented in
both its scientific and economic re-
lations. 1t will include illustrations
and models of numbering operations,
transportation, storing, drying and
manufacturing. In order to give
life and force to the exhibition, it
must be essentially one of action,
designed to show methods of opera
ton along with the products.

Timber camps. ................ Z,24IiUU9
The number of persons engaged
in the lumber industries as proprie-
tors, salaried officials and wage
earners was 33,Io7, and as many as
5S,82I wage earners alone were en-
ployed at one time during the year.
The amount paid for wages in 1900
was $I2,837,527.
The amount of timber owned in
Wisconsin is reckoned at Io,387 $780,
900 feet board measure. This con-
sists of white pine, hemlock, white
oak, other hardwoods and other
cone-bearing trees, named in the
order of their abundance. There
was a very marked increase in the
value of the lumber industry be-
tween 1880 and 1890, in which lat
ter year it reached nearly Sol, ooo,-
900. The industry in 1900 yielded
several million less than in 1890.

1880 it occupied third place in this
industry, in 1892 it rose to second
place, and in 1900 to first place.

Universal Exposition, is the oppor-
tunity which it affords for increas-
ing our exports. We are already
sending abroad about forty million
dollars worth of forest products an
nually, and this branch of the trade
can readily be increased when the
merits of our machinery and pro-
ducts are demonstrated to the buyers
of the world.
AS one of the results of the Paris
Exposition of 1900, the exports of
American apples to Europe in the
year following the Exposition in
creased from 100000 to 100000

at $5a5o,ooo.
FOREST PRODUCTS OF WISCONSIN.
According to Census Bulletin No.
2o3, published June "a, 1902, but
relating to the year 1900, the lum-
Der product was valued at $685.
$40, which was the largest of all the
states.
Pine, although it has been so ex-
tensively cut by lumbermen, is still
far the largest product of Wiscon-
sins mills, and the state is now the
chief contributor to the Country's
supply Of white pine. The wood
land of the state is estimated to have
an area of 3I,75o square miles.

had to do with the former secretary

for some time found a discrepancy
OF $535 that was so plain Mr.. Bas-
sett marched up and covered the
shortage without protest. Had
he not been given the benefit of
every doubt, the sum would have
been much larger. The books were
in such shape, however, that the
experts did not want to include in
the discrepancy anything that
could not be clearly proved, in case
the matter went into the courts.
Mr.. Bassett claims that the sum re-

individuals and corporations fling

them on the books as paid, when in

great beyond. He was such a low

knew him loved him and his
parents and sisters were almost
