Ill part one of the third volume Of the
United States census FOR 1900 will be

shows Ia very striking way the rise

from 1900 TO 1900 for ali ages from six

years old. and SO | have brought them
up to date with the help Of fresh infor-
nation from Washington, matter Of
no little importance. inasmuch as the
increase has been marked ever since
1900 Thus corrected for accuracy the
reckoning shows that Since 1890 there
has been this increase Id the death
rate fer the entire United states

These figures tell the story more
clearly than the most eloquent dis

that, Notwithstanding improved medic

Lumber.

Burlington, Dee. 5.-This has been
thu largest lumber season since 1897 in
the matter Of imports from Canada, no
fewer than Il2 canal boats having arr

port for local dealers. 4 year ago the
number was 90 and this has been about
the average for many years with the
exception Of 1897 when It ran over the

The local yards have been greatly con.
gcsted and the inability to secure cars

confusion and delay in doing business
More men haze been employed in the
lumber intcrests here than for many
years, although less than usual building
