In tonnage, fourth; IN battleships,
fifth; in armored cruisers, seventh ;
in submarines, fifth; in torpedo.boat

but figures don't lie. For example, the
Japanese are seventh, inferior to Great
Britain. Germany, France, the United
States, Italy and Russia (before the

And in two years the United States
will have twenty-five battleships in

A CENTURY'S SUPPLY.
PearsOn's Magazine.

The lumber camps in the timber
region OF the Pacific are all of obvi-
ously temporary character. The build.
ings, consisting of a "mess house" or
dining room, bunk house" or sleep
ing quarters, shops, stables, etc., are
all of rough construction.
The work is as arduous as in any
lumber camps in the world, and the
woodsmen are splendid physical types.
A long working day is the rule in the
woods. The cooks and their assistants
begin the preparation of breakfast
about 3 o'clock in the morning, aud
by daylight the crews are on their way
to the woods, where they labor, with
scant respite, until daylight has faded
into dusk.
In speaking of the recent marvellous
expansion Of the lumber industry of
the Pacific coast. it will not do to pass
over the development of the market,
and particularly the foreign market
for these products. Last year nearly
So, 500, 900 worth of timber was shipped
from Puget Sound to Great Britain
alone, and heavy shipments went to
Mexico, Central and South America,
Germany, Spain, France, Holland,
Cuba, Belgium and China. Yet only
small fraction of the total product OF
these forests is sold abroad; at present
the bulk OF this timber harvest is dis.
posed of in the prairie States of our
middle West; but as lumber resources
in other parts of the country are ex.
hausted, the entire nation will come
to depend more and more upon this
marvellous Western wilderness. Ap.
parently there is no immediate need
for fear of lumber famine, since gov
ernment officials estimate that this,
the greatest of natures woodland store
house, contains supply sufficient for
more than q century, at present rate OF

Items Of Interest Gathered Here, There and

That the very docile and timid crea-
ture, the deer, may become a decided
antagonist when driven to desperation,
is shown by the evidence of Frank
Whalin and Frank Wall, who when
in the woods near Tenino cornered a
large deer in a slough. The deer
turned and beat off the dogs, injuring
them quite seriously. After a futile
effort throwing stones Mr.. Whalin at
tackled the deer with a club, but the
deer handled him so roughly that he
was glad to escape with severe bruis-
ing, and after having his clothes near
ly torn off. Mr.. Wall was also con.
siderably bruised, but Mr.. Whalin's
injuries were by far the more serious
and painful.
The Reed shipyards at Ballard COM

Cement for China.

Ii you have a precious bit of china
that has been broken, try mending it
with white paint or white lead. Ad-
just the pieces neatly; if broken in
small pieces it may take several days
to put it together, as they will have
to be joined one at a time and left
until they are set. After the pieces
have all been joined, scrape off all
paint on the outside, then put it away
and forget about it for several months.
When you take it out you can let it
lie in hot water, and you will find it as
frm as when it was new.

GREATEST CHICKEN TOWN.
More Than 100000 Raised at PetaIuma
Near San Francisco, Cal.

More Than 100000 Raised at PetaIuma.
Near San Francisco, Cal.
Petaluma, forty.fve miles north OF
San Francisco, is the worlds greatest
chicken raising town. Petaluma has
a population of but 6,O0O yet from a
hens point of view it is the metropolis
of the world; Petaluma Is the center
of poultry.raising district in which
there are almost 100000 chickens.
Thirty-five thousand dollars day is
what the world pays the town in hard
cash for its eggs and poultry products
Poultry.raisiug is the chief industry,
and if all the hens in the little city
and its environs were to form one
composite hen, this gigantic fowl
would weigh more than 325 tons. AL
most everyone who has an acre or two
of land raises chickens on an extensive
scale. The city supplies more than
one-half the poultry and eggs used in
California and sends q great quantity
of eggs and fowls to the East as we'll
as to Hawaii and the Philippines.
Along with its gigantic chicken busi-
ness Petaluma boasts of the largest
incubator factory in the world.
The largest chicken ranch in the
world is located at Petaluma. This
ranch has upon its premises $4,000
laying hens, besides thousands oiyoung
chicks. 1t is estimated conservatively
that each hen yields an annual net
income of IS cents. The climate OF
Petaluma appears to be peculiarly
adapted to the industry. Ordinary
fowl ailments are almost unknown on
a well-conducted ranch.
