TIMBER TABLES
Tabulated by 7. B. Walk.
err and the Mississippi
Lumberman.

T. b. Walker, the Minnesota lumber
man, who has been gathering statistics
on the visible supply of lumber in the
United States, has recently published
his findings. In the whole country.
there are ZOO. 900, 900, 900 feet Of stand.
ing timber, and Of this 625, 900, 000, COO
feet are in California, Oregon and Wash.
ington. OF this Oregon has 225 .OO0, 0OO,.
0OO feet and Washington and California
2Oo, OOO, ZOO, 900 feet each.
The census OF 1900 shows that &c, 0OO.-
100000 teet OF lumber we're cut that
year. To this Mr.. Walker adds 3,000,-
900 900 feet cut into shingles, railroad
ties, piles and the like, which makes
20 900 600 900 feet cut annually, and the
rate Of cutting it is constantly on the in
crease. At this rate, in less than thirty
Ave years the visible supply Of timber in
the United States will have been
exhausted.
The three Pacific states have more
than half the standing timber Of the
country and this explains why railroads
are seeking routes into the timber belts
OF hitherto considered inaccessible dis
tricts. The best timber Of the other
states Of the country is practically all
cut down, while the forests of the three
Pacific states are comparatively un-
touched. America has not yet learned
to do without tim her; it must te sup
piled from somewhere; and California,
Oregon and Washington are the states
Of the nation best prepared to furnish it.
Statements on that standing in the
great lumber states show the rapidly
with which it has been cut off. Michi-
gan has but 1900, 900, 900 feet standing,
Wisconsin 10000. 900, 600, and Mime.
sofa, $4,000, 900, 900, while Maine, the
training school Of American lumbermeo,
has but 5000, 600, 900 feet. s,4e
1t may be, however, that 625 900. 000..
600 feet OF standing timber in the Fac, &c
Coast etates is more valuable to the
country standing than the dollars and
cents that in the next quarter Of q
century will be sent here for it. But
the effect that the denuding Of the
Western hills is to have upon the coun.
try will be but slightly taken into con-
sideration by those intent upon exploit
ing the western forests. Commerce and
industry demand the timber The
demand will be honored. The dreamer
and the scientist may regret ia this
generation. Practical men of affairs.
however, will reserve their regrets for
the next.

With Turner at the head OF the state
ticket. there is every possibility Of a
democratic victory this year. Not
exactly because he is at the head of the
ticket, but because straws shows which
way the wind blows. This selection
shows that the party is not dominated
by the spirit of bossism but that the
good sense of the rank and file of the
party is taken into consideration bv the
chiefs in council. 1t is not a question
of likes or dislikes. so far as the leaders
are concerned, but who is the man that
is clean enough not to be obnoxious to
the general voter and is yet a democrat
in principal. If the same spirit is in
evidence in the selection OF the rest OF
the state ticket, there is no reason why
the voters in the great state of Washing
ton should not enjoy the luxury OF a
good state government, for the people
and by the people.

OUT OF POLITICS.

Steps were taken at the last meeting
of the Chicago Federation OF Labor 10
execute the mandate OF the people on
the referendum with reference to elect
ing the school board. At this referen.
dunn the vote stood 81, 1:l against and
lis, 553 in favor of popular election OF
the board, majority for the proposition
of over SO 600 in total vote OF 172.000.
A committee on the condition of the
schools. appointed by the federation.
has now reported . recommendation
that members of the board be elected at
large; that they be elected at q special
election called for the purpose, like that
for the election of judges; and that
candidates be nominated by petition
only.
II the same rule could be applied to
U. S. Senators it would mean much to
the state of Washington, as the present
plan is not only expensive and leads to
corruption, but the will of the people is
not carried out in the sselection oil
senator's.

STILL CUTTING PRICES.

The Mississippi Valley Lumberman
says that that the Washington and Ore
gon manufacturers are scrambling for
orders and that prices are badly broken.
This applies to lumber and shingle alike.
1t was thought that the Interstate Red
Cedar Association is said to have gone
out OF business. and prices certainly in.
dictate u lack of organization, as Extra
Stars are selling at 1921 on Kansas City
delivery and the market is not any too
firm at this price. Spruce, fir and cedar
lumber are also being offered at material
concessions from the list, and the tend.
ency is downward. The California
manufacturers are Independent and are
holding strictly at list. They are having
good home trade and are selling their
product as fast as they want to.

Arrested For Arson. Set the City Jail on

Arrested For Arson. Set the City Jail on
Fire.
On Wednesday afternoon a warrant
WAS sworn out for the arrest OF Joseph
Campbell for setting the city Jail on fire,
Tuesday afternoon. The charge is of q
much graver nature than the act of eet-
ting fire to building, as it mentioned
the fact that at the time the fire was set,
the building was occupied by human
being, which might be constructed into
attempt of graver crime. The trial is
set for Fridav June 3rd and bond set at
$4,000 in default of which Campbell Is
still in the hands Of Constable Anstie.
Campbell is we'll known character on
Grays Harbor, being we'll connected and
above the ordinary man in general intelli-
gence. OF late years he has given way
to drink until he has become common
nuisance. On Tuesday after scrap with
the city marshal he was lodged in Jail,
and while there set the building on fire,
which would no doubt have been de-
stroved were it not for tho prompt action
Of the fire department.

The year 1896 presented the name Of
Mckinley on the republican side as
against Hill, Pattison, Matthews, Boies,
German, Blount, Mclean, on the demo.
cratic side. The year 1904 go far pre-.
sents the name of Roosevelt by the re.
publicans and Hearst, Olney, Wall and
Parker by the democrats. The situation
10 much more favorable now so far az
democratic party is concerned. than in
1896. The chiefs Of the republican party
are out and out in favor OF trusts, or are
under their control; while Hearst who
heads the democratic party. is rich
man ,disowred by rich men "a millionaire
repudiated by millionaires, because he
esponses, and always has espoused the
cause of the common people.

AND THE DUPE PAYS FOR ALL.

1t is announced in the dispatches from
New Orleans that the withdrawal OF
telegraph privileges from the pool rooms
of the country means the permanent
closing of winter racing in the Southern
city. The explanation given is an eye.
opener, both as to the relations of
gambling pool rooms to the general
scheme OF horse racing and as to the re-
lations of the great telegraph company
to the big gambling syndicates of the
country.
1t appears that winter racing in New
Orleans was supported largely by the
Western Union Telegraph Company
which paid the owners of the track $40
day for every pool room in the coun.
try which had a leased telegraph wire
over which it obtained the results OF the
races. The track could not be supporte
by the money paid by people who visited
it for the purpose of seeing horses run
races. Dependent solely upon the gate
money paid by spectators racing could
not be supported.
Thus it appears, frankly and openly,
that horse racing instead OF being the
''sport of kings" as it has been styled,
has been conducted purely as gambling
device and largely for the benefit OF one
great corporation and it's agents and en-
ployes. The track owners, practically
hired by the telegraph company, were
the dealers who spun the wheel; the
pool rooms the croupiers who raked in
bets, paying the telegraph company
Aberally for the privilege; the telegraph

WHICH Is 1T.

The visit OF ex-senator John l.. Wilson
to Grays Harbor at this time. may mean
more than is seen on the surface.
Several hints to his friends, showed that
there was doubt in the minds of the
King county leaders of the republican
party, as to the wisdom OF the course of
Sam Piles. in allowing it to become 60
apparent, that Farrell, who is a demo-
crat, shaped the destiny of the republi.
can state convention. With the ex-
senator it was not how the rank and file
would be affected by the action Of the
convention as the fact of keeping the
machine work secret from vulgar eyes.
Some time will have lapsed before the
fall election, and in the mind Of Mr..
Wilson, Washington with its 10000 to
$1,000 republican majority, can be easily
brought into line, so az to send up .
republican legislature, it being presi.
dental year, if master hand can be
kept over the eyes Of the vulgar voter.
The ombination OF Pierce and King
means one OF two things; King is play.
ing with Piles, or Foster is to be set
aside, and in the struggle, providing the
legislature is republican, who can tell.

WHY NOT.

King county has appropriated $4,000
for the purpose OF advertising the county
at the St. Louis Exposition, and Seattle
has given a like amount for the same
purpose.
Why not the commissioners of Che.

company, without risk, drew down its
large percentage and the dupes paid for
all.
1t is an interesting revelation and,
coming as it does, shows that District
Attorney Jerome. of New York, knew
exactly how to get rid Of the poo! sellers
by proceeding against the Western Union
Telegraph company as an alder and q
bettor OF the gamblers.
The highly reputable and very wealthy
gentlemen who are principal owners and
managers OF the Western Union Tele-
graph company get something like So
OeO, 600 a year through their own direct
promotion of business which was and
is illegal in the great majority OF the
states. There is not the slightest par
ticle of distinction to be drawn between
them and other sure-thing gamblers,
save that they did business on an
infinitely larger scale and succeeded in
preserving a mask of responsibility /;
letting others do the dirty work, while
they took in the large and certain pro-
fits.-P..I.
