The timber industry of the United
States, counting logging, sawmillins
and planning, represents a capital OF
s611 100000, giving employment tc
over one million of people and an
annual wage of over 100000, 600. The
manufactured and the raw product
put upon the market annually repre-
sents $3.50, 100000.
But this gigantic industry is APP
preaching a crisis. The future lum-
Der supply is a problem of grave
features now up before the nation
for solution. A few private individu-
ais have been solving the problem
for themselves, but the result is only
few acres of forest here and there
on the larger southern plantations.
A national bureau of forestry has
been established with the idea of
planting and preserving the forests
on the public domains. To further
these ends appropriations have been
made, and the work of forest cultiva-
tion and preservation has been going
on worthy the government behind it.
Thou shalt not has been stamped
upon millions of acres of the public
lands within the past three years.
Trained men acquainted with the
soils and climates suited to the life
of certain forest trees are constantly
at work planting, cultivating and
mapping out forest reservations for
the future timber supply. These are
government property, maintained by
government patronage, and their fu-
ture dispositions are solely in the
hands of the federal government.
The forest acreage under direct gov
eminent control January /, 1904,
amounted to 63,095,254.
BY examination of the map, taking
the shaded portions as the acreage
and location of the timber supply
today, it will be seen that a relative
source of future lumber. This area
once extended from the Ohio river to
the Atlantic, and southwest to the
interior of Texas. Today scarcely
per cent of this once vast timber
acreage is left. Forty per cent has
been destroyed by forest fires, 40 per
cent by being made into lumber and
fuel The remainder has practically
been consumed in clearings
A cup-over per cent remains.

Maine that supplies much pine and

PROSPECTS OF PEACE.
It is Thought That the Signs Point to
a Move in That Direction.

The situation in the east has enlisted the
closest attention of the administration and
1t is felt that the tone of the utterances
from both Tokyo and st. Petersburg indi-
cate that the terrible conflict between the
Russians and Japanese has almost ex-
hausted, not only physically but financially,
both sides and ythat-the time Is approach
ing, though not perhaps yet at hand. when
it will be in order for the great neutral
powers to move toward the restoration
of peace. President Roosevelt has from the
first stood ready to use his good offices to
stop hostilities on basis honorable to both
belligerents, but he Is stopped from NOV
ing by the fact that it has been the unbrok-'
en- rule of our government to wait until 1t
is assured that both sides to a controversy
of this kind are willing that we should act.
There has SO far been no open proposition.
nor can 1t be truthfu1ly stated that even an
indirect overture has come to Washington
from st. Petersburg or Tokyo but all the
same. 1t is believed that the signs point TO
an early move in that direction.
