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 sone 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 a 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 4,600,000,OOo feet, of
which California supplies s6o,00o,0O0
feet, Oregon 74OOOO,0O0 feet and Wash
ington 2.3OO.ooo,ooO feet At this rate
IL is calculated that the forests of the
Pacific coast Will be exhausted in forty
years.
AS 1t would naturally be expected,
the Pacific lumbermen have been rap
idly enlarging their area and volume of
commercial distribution, both in the

matchless scenes of self forgetting love
and service the rapt wonder in the
chilFs face as she listened, the appeal
in her-yoice as, now to her father and
now to me, she cried, as that true, too?

me to hesitate in my answer And
I was glad to find It easy to g1vc my
firm adherence to the truta OF all that

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 listening 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 seen
them since The 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 throbbing 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

"That's where mother is," she said to

man looked distressed.
"Of course he does" said the Pilot,
"and she sees him all the time"
"oh, daddy!' 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 and
knows our thoughts"
| Again the look of wonder and fear
came into her eyes, but she said no

land cheapening their product the T.-R.
took advantage of every Improvement
| in newspaper making to increase the
quality of its product. AS Its field
broadened the news grew and likewise
the advertising, and it became neces-
sary for the T.-R. to give its readers
| eight more columns OF newspaper every
| day in the week in order to cover all
the news of the day. 1t would have
been cheaper TO have added an extra
supplement of four pages on Saturdays
and ill them with trashy syndicate
matter. but the management believed
that an extra column to every one OF
the eight pages every day would make
room for real telegraph news and, in
the whole week. the forty-eight col
umns would amount to nearly twice as
much as a four page supplement. The
T.-R. Will never allow its advertisers to
monopolize a whole issue as the cheap
priced dailies are compelled to do in or
der to pay expenses. 1t has been this
protection of its news columns and the
guarantee TO its readers that every is
sue will contain large quantity of
news of high quality that has made the
T.-R., as the Chronicle says. away
ahead of any other Iowa daily Ii is
the only eight column to the page daily
in Iowa, it is true, and Cor this reason
looks odd, but the eight columns are
there for the readers benefit and have
paid for themselves.

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 inn
prove the paper. The paper does not
need much criticism from any stand
point. 1t is first-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 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 it has also given
lit an excellent standing among the

can, perhaps improve in news service

own Office
Such words OF commentator. OF
course never fail to please the men of
the Times Republican office, but the

as to the eight columns go by unno-

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.

Her lessons went on, brilliantly or
not at all, according to her sweet will.
She learned to read with extraordinary

she sprang ut him, shook him by the

admiringly, "and what a time she will

and she looked as if she could have

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 otter 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
