Albuquerque. N NJ. Feb 12-Almost
within IL year an industry has grown up
in New Mexico which bids fair to rival
in wealth producing power mining and
sheep growing. which for long have dis
mercial record. This is the manufacture
of lumber from the pine forests. which
in certain sections of the mountain coun-
try cover the uplandS with as dense a
growth as that which once mantled the
region of the great lakes.
indeed, it was the rapid Disappearance
of the forests of Michigan and Wiscon-
sin and the threatened shortage of the
supply of the white pine lumber that first
directed the attention of a few lumber
manufacturers and capitalists to the
New Mexico forests. Lumber rnanufac-
turing has been carried on i'm q small
way in the southwestern timber belt for
several years, enough lumber being pro-
duccd to supply the local markets. with
an occasional small shipment East or
West :.
But it was less than two years ago
that the industry received it's first real
Impetus. The company is composed of
Chicago and Detroit capitalists ard Ium-
Der manufacturers, and the mill here is
turning out the finished product at the
rate of 100000 feet for every twenty
foiIr hours run.

October, is said by exports to be the
most complete plant of its kind i'm the

Woman Workers Complete Canvass
Begun IS Months Ago.

Trenton N. j., Feb. 12.-Women in
terested in church and charitable mat
tiers have just completed a canvass OF
the families of Essex County, N. j., to

canvass took sixteen months, and was
made under the direct supervision OF

suggestion of Mr.. FrelinghuySesn.
The women visited families in the
tenement district, as we'll as in the
Weather sections, in every portion of
the county, and as rule were received
with much kindness. They carried
supplies of Bibles in many languages.
The women report that they called
upon nearly 5000 families, but the
representatives of only 1880 were
personally interviewed. The othe
families were either of Roman Catholic
or Jewish faith.
In the report of the result of the en-
tire Undertaking. which was made Il

i'm Newark, it was shown that l6e
families were found without Bibles
while 619 servants were without the
