Notes on philippiue Forestry.
Cry Capt. Iimmei, in Evergreen)


Now that quieter days have come
to the Philippine Islands the desire
of the people to know more about
this almost autipodal group OF is
lands has apparently decreased i'll
the same ratio, and except as we
read row and then Of the Moros OBJ
iecting to our brand of civilization,
or of Just punishment administered
to some outlaw band in Luzon, or
the sale of the Friar lands recently
cousummated, little can be found III
the journals regarding our insular
possessions.
Our real destiny in the islands
is yet to be fulfilled. The Conquests
Of peace have scarcely begun. We
have been concerned thus far i'll
saving the Filipino from his worst
himself. We now have the
opportunity, which is at the same
time an obligation, to develop the
natural resources, and these are not
few or uninportant
A very promising field is the lum-
Der industry and it will be the en-
deavor in this article to give some
idea of the difficulties and possibili
ties connected with its development.
1t is pertinent to remark here that
no information is at hand of later
date than January end, 1901.
From " Important Philippine
Woods by Captain G. P. Ahern,
U.S.A., formerly i'll charge of the
Forestry Bureau, Manila, P. l., the
following is taken regarding the for
estry regulations;
1.-The Spanish law in force in
these islands provided for the reser-
walton of all public forest lands
when the proper surveys were
made. The practice under said law
was to sell the timber at 50 much a
cubic foot. Public timber land was,
as a rule, not sold; but, when sold,
it was done on the approval of the
forestry bureau and at valuation
by said bureau. AT present forest
products are procured from public
lands by license granted for one
year by the forestry bureau in Ma
Mia. No charge is made for this
license, but a charge is made as in
Dictated below
Article I. Timber shall be class
flied into six groups, as indicated in
the tables below,
article 3. The price per cubic
foot for the valuation of State tim
Der shall be as indicated in the fol-
lowing table. The price shall be
the same i'll all parts of the islands ::

for the statement that the edges OF
the great forests have been scarcely
cut away and fifty valuable hard
/ woods are given to the world" The
following is list of the commercial
uses of the forest products:
Timber and firewood.
Resin, gums and gutta -percha.
Textiles from seed, bark aud
trunk hbres.
Oils, including perfume, essences,
etc; dyes.
Bark for tanning.
Sugar and fermented beverages.
Medicines.
Fruit and other food.
1t would require too much space
to give in detail the characteristics
of the more important of the tree
species. They are used i'll naval
and marine and ordinary construc-
ton and in cabinetmaking and fur
niture. The really valuable woods
have scarcely received a fair intro
duction into the markets Of the
world, not only on account of the
comparatively small quantity eX-
ported, but also because the export
ers have "passed off" woods of in
ferior quality for those of a higher
grade, thus discrediting the superb
or woods. The Chinese use and
highly prize several of the woods,
their method of selection being by
examination.
Foreman says regarding molave
(Htct geniculata) that cit gives
logs up to IS feet long by "a inches
square. 1t resists sea worm (to,edo
navalis), white ants (teymes), and
action of climate, and consequently
is specially valuable for work on the
surface of, or under, the ground,
and generally for all purposes where
an extra strong and durable wood
is required. Often growing crook
ed, it is commonly used (where pro-
duced and in adjacent countries) for
frames of vessels. Owing to its i'm
nervousness to ligniperdous insects
and climate it cannot be surpassed
TOR such purposes as railway sleep
ers. This wood is practically ever
lasting and is deservedly called by
the natives Queen of the Woods. ,"
According to Mr.. Thomas Laslett,
cit can be recommended to notice
as being fit to supplement any Of
the hard woods in present use for
construction purposes.
Many woods Of fine grain, strong,
and taking high polish, are of no
practical value on account of insects,
climate, etc, but would be much
appreciated in this country. The
white ant is small but formidable
enemy of the lumberman and build
er i'll the islands. -Four species of
native woods are mentioned as not
being subject to attack by this in
sect. Tests of American woods
showed that Oregon and bull pine
and spruce were attacked and soon
destroyed by the white ant, while
hemlock and California redwood
and California white cedar were
either not touched or not materially
damaged.
Foreman graphically describes the
white ant Called aRay in the ISL
ands) as "by far the most formida-
bic insect in its destructive powers.
1t is also common in China. Here
1t eats through most woods { there
are some rare exceptions, such as
molave, ipil, yacal, etc. J, and in
deed some persons assert-although
am unable to confirm it-that ev-

age OF goods inside. The deStruc-
ton caused by anay is possibly ex-
aggerated, but there is no doubt
that many traders have lost consid-
cradle sums through having to real
ize, at any price, on wares into
which this insect had penetrated. +"
Perhaps the two most difficult
problems connected with the ex-
ploitation of the forests are those of
labor and transportation.
The labor supply must always be
largely native. The Chinese are
rightly excluded. and in that climate
Americans can perform only the
work of supervising and directing.
The native is naturally disinclined
to work. His wants are few and
nature supplies many of these. In
some of the provinces American
engineers have experienced consid-
cradle difficulty in obtaining and
keeping sufficient number of la
borers to carry on the work of road
building. In other localities an inn
provement has been noted in this
respect, due to the introduction of
American methods with special ref
erence to the payment of wages in
money at stated intervals.
1t is we'll to bear in mind, how
ever, that, although the native wage
is less than we are accustomed to
think of i'll this country, it is not
necessarily cheap labor, and con-
siderable allowance must be made
on this score by the operator.
With the labor problem solved,
that of transportation is compare
lively easy. Roads must be con,
structed and the waterways i'm
proved. The native method of
hauling outlogs OH mud sleds drawn
by caraboos is too slow and expens-
i've. These animals are we'll adapt
ed to the agricultural needs of the
Islands, but are not capable of per
forming hard, continuous, work. 1t
will be necessary, therefore, to in
troduce American mules, portable
railways, donkey engines, etc.
The demand for lumber and the
inadequate supply must continue to
make high prices for some years to
come. There is a good demand in
China and at other points in the
Orient, while in the islands them
selves the large contracts for gov
eminent work will put prices almost
out of reach of private parties.
Prices are quadruple what they
were twenty-five years ago. In 1901
logs sold as follows: Superior
group, ST.. SO to $500 per cubic
foot; first and second groups, $500
to 81. SO per cubic foot; third group,
sixty cents to 81. so per cubic foot.
These prices are in Mexican money.
To make the explorations of the
Philippine forests profitable three
things are absolutely essential and
equally impostant. They are, first,
practical, first hand investigation
of the conditions peculiar to this
industry where it is intended to OPP
crate; second, a large outlay of cap
ital in the beginning in establishing
a plant prepared to handle large
logs. No returns could be expected
for many months. Third, intelli-
gent supervision in all departments
of the work. For this it would be
necessary to furnish master mechan-
les, foremen, and at first most of
the skilled labor.
Insurmountable as the difficulties
may at first seem, the American
lumberman can overcome them, and

POCAHONTAS MINE
DISASTER REPEATED
Another Horror Worse Than the First-Superin-

On Friday, at 1890 a. m. :,

the West Mine at Pocahontas for
the purpose of examining the
mines and were suffocated by
gas. Up to last night at 1870,
their bodies had not been rccov-
cred.
AT 6:3o P. M. nothing had
heard of the party. Assistant
supt. A. ]. King and three others
entered the mine to search for
O'Malley and party. They pro-
ceeded some distance, when en-
countering gas they were forced
to return. King almost lost his
life, and was reported in crit
ical condition last night. The
rescueing party found O'Malley's
coat hanging on a post in the
mine.

After the return of the party,
Chas. S. Thorne, Secretary and
Treasurer of the company, and
others, who had charge of the
work OF rescue, opened commu-
nication with the railroad authori-
ties and the operators in West
Virginia, and special car
brought IS or 80 expert miners
and superintendent to Pocahontas
in consultation. With maps and
plots of the mine plan of rescue
was finally formulated, and put

men set about the work of trying
to find the bodies of unfortunate
victims, with what success were

icate of death has been made out, and
the officer OF a life insurance company
comes into the bereft household and
pays down the hard cash on an ipsur-
ance policy, that officer Of the COM
pany is performing a positively relig-
1ous rite, according to the Apostle
James, who says: "True religion and
undefiled before God and the Father is
this: to visit the fatherless and the
widow in their afliction," and so on.
When men think Of their death they
are apt to think of 1t only in connec
tion with their spiritual welfare and
not OF the devastation in the household
which will come because of their emil
grafton from 1t. 1t is meanly selfish
for you to be SO absorbed in the heaven
to which you are going that you forget
what is to become of your wife and
children after you go. You can go out
of this world not leaving them a dollar,
and yet die happy if you could not pro-
vide for them You can trust them in
the hands Of the God who owns all the
harvests n the herds and nocks; but
IL you could pay the premium on a pol
icy and neglected them, it is q mean
thing for you to go up to heaven while
they go to the poor-house.
You at death, move into o mansion,
liver ront,and they move into rooms on
fourth story of a tenement house in a
back street. When they are out at the
elbows and the knees, the thought of
your splendid robe in heaven will not
keep them warm. The minister may
preach a splendid sermon over your re-
mains and the quartette may sing like
four angels in the organ loft, but your
death will be o swindle. You had the
means to provide for the comfort of
your household when you left it and you
wickedly neglected it.

know you are going to live ten or
20 years? II We could look up the walk
of the future we would see it crossed
by pneumonias, and pleurises, and con-
symptoms, and colliding rail trains,
and runaway horses, and breaking
bridges, and funeral professions. Are
you so certain you are going to live ten
or twenty years that you can warrant
your household any comfOrt after you

price, or lose all. X X Or the admin
