OF this state, in convention assembled
20 adopt such measures and dissent
nate such principles among the me-

recognition IF the rights to which
they are justly entitled. But We re-

NEW LUMBER SUPPLY
Russia Has Obtained Valuable Tim
 Der Franchises in Corea.
EFFECT ON UNITED STATES
The Competition Will Hurt Our Pa ciic Coast Lumber Industries- One of the Causes of Present
 Eastern Controversy

IUCHWANG. CHINA.-Co- rea's granting of valuable
 timber franchises to a big Russian lumber company is one of the direct causes of the present controversy be-

almost impossible to get long timbers from this district. The Chinese in their native affairs seldom use any but short timbers, and all the timber cut for Chi nese consumption is cut into short lengths in the forests.
 Up to the present the logs from this section have been cut into lumber by the whipsaw method, the natives using a thin and narrow saw blade with teeth set so as to cut both ways Where the Russians have charge of the sawmills they have introduced large and heavy saws. cutting only on the downward stroke-such saws as are used in our country for whipsawing lumber With these the natives accomplish much more.
 On the Yalu this old method is now to give way to another; Russia is to con- struct at the mouth of this river the third largest sawmill in the world. It is to be situated at one of the points of po- litical controversy. It is at this place that the great naval battle between China

Wanted It Done Scientifically.

In his memoirs Adolf Kussmaui re- lates curious story of Heidelberg banker This banker was known for his naughty. forbidding manners; con- sequently Dr. Nuhn, the professor of anatomy, was much surprised one day when the banker came and sat with him in a railway car and. after a pleas ant chat, asked him all sorts Of ques- tions, especially about the anatomy of the heart. The next day he even called by permission in the medical depart ment and watched the professor dis secting one of those organs. Then he drove home and committed suicide by skilfully plunging a dagger into his heart

These mills are engaged in cutting lum- Der at present for the railway and for the town Of Harbin.
 It is clear that Russia intends to pro- vide for all the requirements of lum- Der in Manchuria and Siberia, with a possibility of entering the Chinese mar ket.
 The government has established a ruling that all railway and government supplies must be purchased from the Russian companies if possible. This is encouraging many industries in Man. churia, of which the lumber industry is one
 The recent purchase of considerable quantities of lumber from the United States was due to the haste in providing quarters for Russia's army in Man. churia.
 The railway will require many ties, or sleepers, as these decay very fast, many having to be replaced before the railroad is completed. This is due to the fact that the railway is not yet ballast ed, and the ties are laid deep in the earth and sand, not even the ends being ex- posed to the air. These ties are now coming in considerable quantities from Siberia and Japan, and I do not believe it possible for the United States to com- pete for the trade.
 The Russians are familiar with the lumber. wheat and flour business. and as they have the natural advantages and the earnest support of their banks, railways and government throughout Manchuria, l am convinced that their development of these industries is likely to soon close this market 10 the United States in these products, and if they show intense en- erey and enterprise they will become se- were competitors in the great markets of China for flour, especially, and pos sibly for lumber
 There is none of the lumber that I have yet seen equal to the Oregon pine, but much of it is good enough for the common markets of China. and will be accepted for most purposes.

and Japan was fought the conclusion of which practically settled that war.
 The establishment of this enterprise is very likely to influence the lumber trade of China to some extent. but more particularly in Manchuria and North China. am inclined to the opinion that 1t will not seriously affect the trade in central China
 In addition to this competition-which is already supplying large quantities of timber and lumber to Port Arthur. Dalny any Niuchwang and to the Chi nese Eastern railway-the Russians are now shipping to all of these places by steamer from Vladivostock and vicin- ity and the Island of Sakhalin large quantities of lumber
 This lumber is of a rather inferior quality compared with the Yalu lumber; it is harder, coarser grained. warps and twists badly, and is difficult to work. Compared with the Yalu timber it is about like the Norway pine compared with the white pine. IL is in fact very much like the poor grade of Norway pine
 Another point of competition in the lumber business is developing on the Sunsari river. where the Chinese East ern railway crosses it. about so miles south of Harb.n. Timber in consider able quantities is run down this river to this point and is being made into lumber by the Chinese method, several hundred men being engaged in the work. l am of the opinion that lumber from this source will never reach the sea in competition for the trade of China. but it will be a splendid source of supply for railway use and for the city of Harbin.
 Harbin is only three years old. but it is one of the greatest cities of Asia. and has the largest European population of any Asiatie city. containing 900 Rus sians, besides the soldiers. At Harbin there are two small sawmils cutting timber from the Sungari river coming from below the city. On the railway line between Harbin and Vladivostock there are two large sawmills, the ma- chinery for which cost, in place, SIT ,250.

tween Japan and Russia. and the sanre franchises are of more than passing in terest in the United States for the req son that it foreshadows new compe- titiOn for Pacific coast lumber in the far east. A rapidly increasing trade in Oregon p.ne and hemlock has been de- yeloped in Manchuria and other Chinese provinces. The same is true in the eastern provinces of Siberia. and the coming of this new competition will scarcely be relished by the lumbermen of the Pacific coast.
 The Russian Timber & Mining Com pany of the Far East as the new com- pany is called, has its headquarters at Port Arthur. This company is organ ized by some of the most prominent men connected with the Russian govern ment, and is reputed to have a capital of $10,300,0 ,000. Its principal operations will be on the Yalu river, where 1t runs down timber from the forests of COrea as well as the large forests of Man ehuria
 These forests are very extensive and contain immense quantities of exceed ingly fine timber. There is much fine timber in this market from that locality,

and it has been the source of supply for both this and the Tientsin markets for ages.
 The ocean and river junks are built of this timber hewn out in large pieces, often three feet or more in width. There are about 5000 of these junks trading at Niuchwang. The timber is mostly pine. very much like the white pine of the United States. This is the best qual- ity of lumber that have seen in China. The percentage of clear wood is not very large.
 There is also considerable fir. usual ly much smaller than the pine, and also a timber similar to our tamarack. These are the three varieties from the Yalu district that I have seen. It is brought into Niuchwang and the other markets of China on junks. These junks. when coming to Niuchwang usually sail in fleets as a means of protection against pirates, who often board them near the mouth of the river and rob them or levy tribute on them.
 Most of this timber is driven or rafteG down the Yalu in short lengths, and it Is
