WHITLEY HAS
CLEAN SLATE
HEREAF TER

"Say. but my friend Tom Molloy be-
lieves in standing by the gang TO the
limit" remarked a Ward 10 man to a
ws-Democrat reporter today. And
Sam Whitley has apparently cleaned off
his slate.
Last year Sam was smarting some
what nnder the opposition OF the Perry
crowd. which had turned to defeat him
for reelection to the board Of canvassers
and registration: but he SENS to have got
ten over IL, and sugar don't dissolve In
hot coffee and quicker than Sans indag-
nation when anyone speaks louder than
whisper at a caucus.
III the Perry gang say that Lewis A.
Waterman got excited at a caucus, the
board Of canvasserS say That's true,
though every other well-posted individual
in the city knows that the presence of
fire. mob and food would not disturb the
well-known lawyer any more than the op-
position ruling of a Judge
1T is a queer bunch that Is led by
Dorney. Molloy. West. Moran and Finan.
West. after talking straight Democracy
all summer, become on the heel OF the
hunt one OF the leaders OF the disturbers,
and then is turned down by the same
traders for the nomination for alderman.
You say there is a third member Of
the board OF canvaSsers and registration?
Well, he amounts 10 as much as the
Democratic representation on the board.
Years ago. a man told me this morning,
DOrney In Ward worked for Colonel
Baker for the assembly ticket against his
own party nominee; and Baker has never
been ungrateful to Dorney
How about his Democratic support for
the office he now holds? Well, ! believe
the Democratic lawyers who supported
him acted from the highest motives OF
citizenship; and they are not TO blame
IL Baker don't gdbe with their estimate OF
him. The Democratic leaders prefer to be
right.
1T is a bad mess, though. that Ward |
decision. A friend OF mine remarked this
morning that Alderman Dunn carried
Ward this year by decisive vote. Yet
there were times when II would have been
possible 10 have grabbed a check list
and torn IL up. The man doing the trick
would have been arrested and punished;
but, according TO the ruling OF Brayton's
board OF canvassers, the caucus would
have been Illegal and ONeill would not
have a seat in the new city committee.
though he beat his opponent some 200
votes.
thereafter all IL will be necessary for
the friends OF the Perryites TO do Is TO
have a man steal a list. They will see
that the man is not punished: and after
a few trials the gang can easily get seven
wards. The only trouble with this. trick
Is that the people may wake up this year
and elect a Democratic legislature. which
Will give the people of the cities an
honest cauclhs law.
II hope they will: but In the meantime
IL Is well 10 remember what poor stuff
the alleged Democratic representation on
the election counting board is"

THE OLD FARM.

The old farmhouse i see it again:
In its low dark caves the twittering wren
Is nested as long ago;
And i breathe once more the south winds
balm,
And sit and watch, in the twilights calm,
The bat fit to and fro.
The white cows lie at the pasture bars
And the dairy cool, with its tins and jars,
Is stored with curds and cream:
There's somebody putting the things to
right,
And through the window see the light
From the talow candle g,eam.
The garden is rich with its old-time bloom,
And | catch, in fancy, the faint perfume
OF blossoms dank with dew;
And over it all is the starlit dome,
And round about 1t the peace ofhomc-
How II all comes back to view!
The night wind strs in elm and oak.
And up from the milpond comes the e'oal
Of the bullfrog's rich bassoon;
And | catch the CLEAN, as over the brink
There peeps with tremulous, shiverine
u The rim Of a crescent moon.
II all comes back from the dusk Of time,
With the mournful cadence and swell o
rhyme
That is half remembered, still
Like measure from some forgotten strain
That hauntingly comes and fees again,
And under dusky,twilight sky
IL, mingling, floats with the plaintive cry
OF the desoate whip-poor-wil.

Four BiIIIon Feet OF Lumber.

The lumber markets Of the Orient
and the share which the United States
is likely to have in supplying them.
is the subject just now of some atten-
ton by the United States Department
of Commerce and Labor. Recent re-
ports from American Consuls in the
Orient announced the arrival of the
first cargo Of lumber in the Chinese
market, by Russian vessel from Vlad-
ivostok. This fact opens the question
Of future competition for the Oriental
market between the American lumber
interests on the Pacific coast. on the
one hand. and that Of the Russians in
Siberia and on the Yalu River, on the
other. In both cases enormous re-
sources are awaiting development. The
American industry ON the Pacific coast
has the advantage Of organization on
a large scale. and of mechanical equip
ment unequalled by that Of any other
field in the world. This is evidenced by
the rate of annual production. Unof-
fetal estimates put the annual cut Of
lumber and shingles Of the three Pa
cific States at 4.600. 100000 feet. Of
which California supplies 100000, ,00O
feet, Oregon 100000, 600 feet ana WASH
ington>2 300. 100000 feet AT this rate
1t is calculated that the forests of the
Pacific coast will be exhausted in forty
years.
AS would naturally be expected. the
Pacific lumbermen have been rapidly
enlarging their area and volume OF
commercial distribution, both in the
foreign and the domestic markets. Ac-
cording to verified figures. the redwood
shipments from upper California, most
" to San Francisco and the southern
coast. amounted in 1902 to 260,597 605.
In addition to this. the California coast
alone received in 1902 COG. 1925 feet
Of pine ana fir: in 1901. 408, ,245, $40 feet,
and in 1900, 37025S,913 feet. The rate
Of increase, as will be seen by comparl-
son OF these figures, is enormous. -Har-
per's Weekly.
