THE BIG TIMBER
CORRESPONDENT CARPENTERS
PARAGRAPHS ON THE TIM
BER PRODUCTS OF
WASHINGTON

p,t first let nae tell you some
.h;ne of the mighty timber prod
uct of the great Northwest. Wash
;neton leads the Union in its timber
resources. According to all esti-
m,te of the department of the in
terror, there are almost 200, o,ooo,-
nm 900 feet Of valuable timber
s,ill standing. The state is cutting
something like billion feet every
wear, and in addition about 5000, :
QUO, 900 cedar shingles; but even at
This rate the cutting can go on for
for 100 years and leave plenty to
snare. A billion feet of lumber
means enough to make a board
walk foot wide and inch thick a
billion feet long. At 5000 feet to
the mile such a walk would reach
,oo 600 miles. It would be long
enough to plank road eight feet
wide clear around the world. That
is what Washington is doing every
year and what she can continue to
do for more than a hundred years
to come.
The great timber range west of
the Cascades covers more than
10000 square miles. 1t is big
enough to make ten states the size
Of Delaware, and is said to BE-
about the most densely wooded
portion of the globe.
Few PEOPLE realize what our lum-
Der industry. Uncle Sam gets
more out Of his woods to3ay than
other country. We are producing
almost one-half of all the forest
products turned out upon earth.
The annual ourput of the world is
about 81 800, 900, 900, and of this
$500, 900. 900 comes from the
United States. Next to US stands
Russia, which sells tne-,hird as
much as we do: then comes Austria
and France, Norway and Sweden
in order with smaller amounts.
Australia is getting about SIS, 900,
600 a,ear ont of its woods, and
Great Britain about $40, 900, 900.
The most of our lumber is used a,
home, and more and more of the
home product is coming from this
part Of the world.
Now about one-fourth of all oul
building wood comes from the
Southern states. The Pacific coas
did little in this respect before 1886
and these vast lumber regions O
the Northwest were not exploited
atall for years after that. 'Theil
active life began when James ]
Hill showed that he could carry
shingles and boards across the con
tlnent on the Great Northern rail
road and sell them at a profit il
the East. From that time to thi
'nas road has been getting biz
receipts from its timber freights

Within 60 days the department of COM

When the pilgrim from the Orient
lands from ship, it will be to mount
up terraced slope. These terraces lie
Just before the Administration build
ing, with it's big porch. The immigrant
will first enter a big central receiving
room. On one side of this will be the
office of the commissioner and the sta
tistcian, while on the other those of
the chief inspector, his assistants and
the doctors. To the rear of the re-
ceiving room is a registry room and
back of that a detention room Covered
ways will lead to the dining rooms.
The Chinese and Japanese will occupy
the same room. but will sit at separate
tables. while the European immigrants
will eat in another dining room. A
covered way will lead from the dining
room to the detention quarters. This
building will be separated into quar-
ters according to sex and races.
Northeast of the Administration
building and connected with it by an
inclined walk will be the hospital.
Here. too, a number of wings will af-
ford room for wards for the various
groupings, made as in the detention
quarters.
That station will be more complete
than the one at Ellis Island" said
Commissioner General of Immigration
Sargent this morning. I'VE shall aim
to make it the best in the world
No one is more interested in the
correct construction of the station than
Secretary Metcalf of the department.
He is giving it his personal attention
and watches every step taken in the
work. Secretary Metcalf believes that

hopes to have actions begun which
will force the National City bank TO
pay the city 100000 in taxes, the sum
which it has escaped paying by a
trick in the contract under which, all
though the bank gets the rental for
the building at the rate of $4,000
year, the title is still vested in the
government.
The National City bank, the Stand
ard Oil pet banking institution, bought
the old custom house from the treas
ury department over eight years ago
for $3,265,000. AT the time it was ar
ranged that the government should
continue the building until the new
customs house is completed, which
will be two years hence. In order that
the Standard Oil clique might escape
the taxes on the property, it was ar
ranged that $4,000 of the purchase
price SHOULD be left unpaid, the bank
President James Stillman merely
wrote a letter to Secretary of the
Treasury Gage saying that he had
credited the government deposit in his
bank with $3125,0OO, and thus the
money continued to remain on deposit
with and subject to the disposal Of the
Standard Oil bank. At that time, and
every year since, the National City
bank has carried a deposit Of govern
ment money Of anywhere from $5,OOO,-
900 to $25,00O,OO0. Thus, so far as the
bank is concerned, the purchase money
for the custom house mas practically
