THE COUNTRY'S SAW MILLS.
Some Interesting Statistics Collected
by the United States Department
of Agriculture.

By'James S. Mccarthy.
Washington, D. c., July 11.-A
compilation by the Forest Service of
the United States Department Of Ag-
riculture Of the reports received from
over 10000 sawmills in the United
States upon their operations in 1905
shows the proportion Of lumber kiln
dried and the proportion surfaced, the
amount Of slab wood sold, and the
proportion Of logs cut on lands belong
ing to the sawmill operators. No fl
cures along these lines are available
for New York, and none are given
for several Of the states in which the
cut was very small.
The states in which the largest pro-
portion Of lumber is kilnaried by
manufacturers are South Carolina,
with 51.3 per cent; North Carolina.
with 5G.5 per cent; Florida, with 35.y
per cent; Alabama, with 34.S per cent,
and Georgia, with 306 per cent; in
other states the amount IS less than
30 per cent. Altogether, 1872 mills
reported he use Of dr. ''tlns.
\ ;;rgc c12tunt Of tt.. pine cut in
the south is Kindred in order to re-
duce its slipping weight, sid this IS
especially ',ue Of lobloli or North
Carolina pine. Kiln-drying is practic-
ed to a less extent in the Rocky Noun
tains and Pacific coast states, and
very little lumber is kiln-dried by the
sawmill operators in the hardwood re-
gion or where the cut is principally
by portable mills. For the country as
a whole, about Is per cent of the lum-
bec cut S Kindred at the mill.
A much larger proportion Of the
cut is surfaced at the mills reporting,
Kindred. Of the mills reporting,
more than 5000 surfaced a portion
of their cut. For the country as a
whole, at least 35 per cent is surfac-
ed before it is shipped. In this res
pect Iowa leads, with 77.2 per cent
surfaced; but this is because most of
the Lumber cut in bhat state is in a
few big mills along the Mississippi
which operate exclusively on northern
pine. Aside from Iowa, the states in
which the larger proportion Of the
cut is surfaced at the sawmil are
Texas, with 71.7 per cent; Louisiana,
with 60.3 per cent; Idaho, 1914 per
cent; Montana, 55.2 per cent; = and
Arkansas, with sos per cent. In all
the other states less than half the cut
is surfaced by the sawmill operators,
and; as in kiln-drying, a relatively
small proportion Of the total cut is
surfaced in the hardwood regions.
Some 1900 mills reported sales Of
slab wood totaling 3,503,2S7 cords.
Washington leads in this respect,
with 559,231 cords, followed by Mich
igan, with 523,51S cords; Wiscon-
sisn, with 36S,47S cords; and Virgin
ia, with 2l3,522 cords. 1t is probably
safe to assume that this slab and
waste wood brought on an average
ST a cord; hence it's sale was con-
siderable source Of revenue to many
mills. ~l

ber-producing states, it is interest

WOULD RAISE PENSIONS
OF DESERVING VETERANS
Congressman HaIvor Steenerson Sug-
gests There May Be Several EIig-
able Old Soldiers Here.

In a letter written to Anton
Erickson of this city, Congress-
man Steenerson, who is now at
the national capital, makes in
quiries as to the conditions of
the old soldiers of this county
who have been receivinga pension
of $12.
Mr.. Steenerson, in his letter,
states that he is of the opinion
that it will be a comparatively
easy matter to secure for needy
pensioners who have received
Sl2, additional pay per month,
if the Recipients of the original
pension so desire, and are worthy
of the additional pay. ..
H. W. Bailey, com mander of
the Bemidji G.. A. R. post, has
also received letter to the same
effect as the above, and he today
answered and sent several names
to Congressman Steenerson as
being old soldiers worthy of the
additional pension.
This raise of pension was Sc
cured under a special act of
congress and is being taken ad-
vantage of by large mber of
old "vets." In fact, bills for
the increase are being put
through congress at the rate of
about 1,O0Oa week, and Beltrami
should t'get in the game"

UP-T0-DATE NURSERY TO
Be ESTABLISHED HERE.
''Itasca Park Region Nursery Incor.
p0rates and Has Purchased Some
Very Desirable Lands.

Through the individual efforts
of Mayor A. A. Carter, Bemidji
will have another enterprise that
will mean considerable to the
development of the com munity.
A corporation to be known as
the Itasca Park Region Nursery
company has been organized and
will at once esta blish a large
nursery, within the limits of the
city; and, backed by liberal capi-
tai, 1t will undoubtedly be a sue
cess from it's inception.
l.. P. Anderson, now a resident
of this city, but Who was form
erly engaged in the nursery
business in the southern part Of
the state, has been active with
Mayor Carter for some time in
securing desira le land for the
establishment of a nursery and
has met with excellent success
in getting what he desired. He
has purchased the Achenbach
farm of 100 acres, the northwest
quarter of Section 5-146-33. and
the other parties who will be
associated with Mr.. Anderson
will give enough other desirab bile
land to swell the SIZE of the pro-
posed nursery to 527 acres of
very desirable property, all of
which is peculiarly adaptable for
nursery purposes.
The papers necessary for the
Incorporation of the company
have all been prepared and the
organization will be perfected
within few days. Mr.. Ander.
son, who has had many years of
experience in the nursery busi-
ness, will have active manage
ment of the affairs of the com.
pany. He has already cleared a
large amount of the land and has
crew Of men at work at the
present time getting the prop
erty into shape for nursery pur-
poses. Mr.. Anderson will have
his headquarters in Bemidji and
will make especial effort to
supply nursery stock to all
parts of northern Minnesota and
North Dakota and perhaps Mon
tana. When the nursery is COM
pleted it will be one of the largest
operated in the state, and will
handle all kinds of nursery pro-
ducts. A greenhouse will also
be operated in connection with
the nursery and the company
will be prepared to furnish all
kinds of flowers.

DOESN'T CARE A ''RAP'
ABOUT The RAILROAD
A. A. White, Owner Of LittIefork Town.
site, ''Spars" with Builders Of
N. & 1. Extension.

A. A. White of st. Paul, known
as the 'stownsite man," and who
is interested in Bemidji property,
was in the city this morning, on
his way to st. Paul from a busi-
ness trip to the village of Little
fork.
Mr.. White is the owner of the
townsite of Littlefork. and he
has been negotiating for several
weeks with the parties who are
building the extension of the M.
& I. railway from Big Falls to
International Falls, relative to
the extension passing through
Littlefork.
Concerning the negotiations,
and the probability of the road
building into Littlefork, Mr..
White says:
eve have made several PROPOSE
tions to the railroad people, but
in every instance our proposals
have been rejected, with the re-
suit that we are about through
with giving the matter any con-
sideration at all. We can get
along very well without the iron
horse in the future as we have
in the past. The river is
navigable for steamboats, to the
village of Littlefork, and Mr.. !
Jameson, who owns two steam
ers, intends to keep them in
operation during the open season,
which will always give us good
service. The government will
make some improvements in the
river, which will make navigation
much easier; and we are not
worrying about the probability
of the railroad not building into
Littlefork.

NORTHERN PACIFIC AND
GREAT NORTHERN COMBINE
Local Express Business of Both Com
panies Consolidated Page Will
Have Charge.

The Great Northern and North
ern Pacific Express Offices in tbs
city have been consolidated, and
the entire express business of
Bemidji will hereafter be handled
from one Office.
The consolidation has been
under consideration for some
time past, but was not perfected
until yesterday. w. B. Newcomb
of st Paul, travelling auditor of
the Northern Pacific Express
company, and J. G.. Johnson of
ST. Paul, travelling auditor of the
Great Northern Express COM
pany, arrived in the city yester-
day morning and Immediately
began the work of checking up
their respective local Offices, pre-.
liminary to making the formal
transfer and consolidation of the
business of the two companies.
Under the new arrangements,
the Great Northern Office will
handle the express business of
both the M. & I. and the G.. n,
and H G. Page, who has been
agent for the Great Northern
Express company during the
past two years, will have charge
of the Office.
For some time, the consolida-
tion has been desired by the M.
& |. officials, as the facilities for
handling the increased business
of the N. p. company at the local
M. & I. Office have been made.
quate on account of lack of room,
and a continuance of the condl-
tions would have necessitated an
alteration of the Offices. Agent
G.. A. Walker was O ertaxed with
handling the express business in
addition to the regular work as
agent, and the change will be a
welcome relief to him.
