Sorrenson said he arrived here February 9.
and registered at the Metropolitan Hotel,

for conspiracy. one for bribery and one for
perjury.

Regarding the still pending charges

regard the securing of signatures to appli-
cations for school lands at all wrong.

ing to note that the proportion Of out
put reported as sawed from logs cut
on the lands owned by the sawmll
operators range from 97.4 per cent in
California to 34.5 per cent in Wash
ington. The lumber companies in
California do their own logging large
~ Gil their Cwn holdings, and get but
a relatively small quantity of logs
from ether sources. In Washington
most of the !,y%mg is done by firms
which buy stumrage and deliver logs

price. SO that in this case the opera
tor of a mill may own little or no tim

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

By'Jamcs S. Mccarthy.
Washington, ID. c., July n.---A
compilation by the Forest Service of
the United States Department Of Ag-
riculturc 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
in" to The sawmill operators. No fl
cures along these lines arc available
for New York, and none are given
for several of the states in which the
"nt was very small.
The states in which the largest pro-
portion Of lumber is kiln7dried by
manufacturers arc South Carolina,
with 5l.3 per cent; North Carolina
with 500 per cent; Florida, with 35.y
per cent; Alabama, with 34.S per cent,
and Georgia. with 30.G per cent; in
! other states In, amount Is less than
30 per cent. Altogether, 1912 mills

more than 5000 surfaced portion
Of their cut. For the country as a
whole, at least 81 per cent is surface
cd before it is shipped. In this res
pcct Iowa leads, with 77.2 per cent
surfaced; but this is because most Of
the lAmber cut in that 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 sawmill are
Texas, with tit per cent; Louisiana,
with 60.3 per cent; idaho, 59.4 per
cent; Montana, 55.2 per cent; and
Arkansas. with 50.6 per cent. In all
the other states less than half the cut
is surfaced by the sawmill operators.
and, as in kiln-1rying, relatively
! small proportion Of the total cut is
surfaced in the hardwood regions.
Some 1000 mills reported sales Of
slab wood totaling 3.503.2S7 cords.
Washington leads in this respect,
with 559,23l cords, followed by Mich
lgm, with 523,5lS 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
81 cord; hence its sale was a con-
siderable source Of revenue to many
mills.

hcr-prodncing states, ii is interest
