10 cubic feet annually, whereas it ought to lay up at least 30 cubic feet in order to furnish the products taken out of it. Since 1880 more than 7OO,- GOO, OOO,O GOO feet of timber have been cut for lumber alone, including 80, ,0OO.- GOO, ,OOO feet of coniferous timber in ex- cess of the total coniferous stumpage estimate of the Census in 1880. These are some of the remarkable state ments made in Circular 97 of the For est Service, which deals with the tim bec supply of the United States and reviews the stumpage estimates made by all the important authorities. A study of the circular must lead di- rectly to the conclusion that the rate
 1t which forest products in the United States have been and are being con- sumed is far too lavish, and that only
 me result can follow unless steps are promptly taken to prevent waste in use and to increase the growth rate of
 
 States. This result is timber famine
 This country is to-day in the same po-
 ,ition with regard to forest resources IS was Germany 15O years ago. Dur ing this period of 15O years such Ger many states as Saxony and Prussia, particularly the latter, have applied policy of government control and reg ulation which has immensely increased the productivity of their forests The same policy will achieve even better results in the United States, because we have the advantage of all the les sons which Europe has learned and paid for in the course of a century of theory and practice. Lest it might be assumed that the rapid and gaining depletion of American forest resources is sufficiently accounted for by the in- crease of population, it is pointed out in the circular that the increase in popula tion since 1880 is barely more than half the increase in lumber cut in the same period. Two areas supply passed their maximum production the Northeastern States in 1870 and the Lake States in 189O To-day the Southern States, which cut yellow pine amounting to one-third the total an nual lumber cut of .the country, are undoubtedly near their maximum. The Pacific States will soon take the ascendency. The State of Washing ton within few years has come to the front and now ranks first of all individ
 ual States in volume of cut. At pres ent but one-fifth of the total forest area of the United States is embraced in National Forests. The remaining four-ffth have already passed or are most likely to pass into private hands. The average age of trees felled for lum- Der this year is not less than l5O years. In other words, if he is to secure a second crop of trees of the same size, the lumberman or private forest owner must wait, say, at least 100 years for the second crop to grow. AS rule. such longtime investments as this waiting would involve do not commend themselves to business men who are accustomed to quick returns. But the States and the Nation can look much farther ahead. The larger, then, the area of National and State control over woodlands, the greater is the likelihood that the forests of the coun- try will be kept permanently produc- tive.

National For five years, the
 Irrigation. government has been carrying on irrigation in the arid sec tions of the West, and is able to report much progress as result. A million dollars month has been spent in dig ging ditches, turning rivers from their courses, making dams and building railroad and telephone lines, and there | is something to show for the money expended. The arid region of the United States covers six hundred mill lion acres, of which sixty million acres can be made fertile by bringing water to it. So far eight new towns have been built, 10000 people have taken up homes, 1867 miles of canals have been built, and 100 miles of branch rail- roads. Some of the canals carry whole rivers in them, as for instance the Truckee river in Nevada, and the North Platte river in Wyoming. Forty-seven tunnels have been built with an aggregate length of nine and a half miles. Since this irrigation business has been started, sections of the South and East are talking of pc titioning the Government to extend it's help for the purpose of draining the swamps. It is said that 50, OOO 900 acres could be reclaimed by drainage on large scale and that it would in- crease land values 5000, 900, ,OOO and raise crops worth billion and half a year. If these tracts are divided up into 45-acre farms 1t would supply two and half million families with homes and give 12, COG, ,OOO people chance to dig in the dirt.

At meeting of the Juror Amateur league last evening St Anne's team was taken into the league in place of the Sunshines. The last named club was last in the standing and the play CTS agreed to withdraw, provided the members of St Anne's aggregation would refund to them the money which they had paid into the league. This was agreed upon and was acceptable to the managers. The protest entered by Manager McGrath of the Stanley Parks in regard to the game with the Golden Stars when the umpire called A man safe although he had cut third base. was allowed and the game will be played over.

 The City League held meeting last night and arranged for the following schedule for next Sunday: 12:30 St Josephs vs Washington Hills, 2:15 Brooklyns vs North Ends, 4 o'clock the Merrimacs vs the Pastimes. Waite and Foley will officiate in all games. With all the changes that have been made in the playing rules of the game in forty years the ball itself remains about the same. The rules of 1868 like the rules of 1907 prescribe bail not less than five ounces in weight and not more than five and quarter. The rules of 1868 said the ball should measure not less than nine inches and not more than nine ana quarter in circumference. Now tile maximum circumference is restricted to nine and one-Quarter inches.
 The Boston Nationals have been making things uncomfortable for left handed pitchers this season. They have beaten every one they have met except Pfiester

 A nice schedule arrangement. indeed that which Ban Johnson handed out to the New York Americans--twenty- eight straight games away from home. including a vist to seven cities and 10 Boston twice before returning.

THE DIAMOND
RECORDS OF
 THE LEAGUE
Waterbury Has Two of the Thirteen Three Hundred Hitters -All
 Games That Were Played.

The fifth week of the season of the Connecticut League of Baseball clubs finds Holyoke established in first place by small margin. The team owes it's fine position to the re- markedly steady fielding. It has made but ten errors in the last 12 games. a record that will not be beat en by major league game. The boys also clouted the ball in good shape and won six out of seven games last week. Waterbury won four out of six and held to second place in good shape. Norwich won five out of seven and is playing pennant ball. Springfield, at the tail end of the first division, broke even last week. Hartford had slump and won but two out of seven. New Haven won three out of seven. Bridgeport won one out of six and New London won two out of six, both from Hartford.
 There was a slaughter of the bats men last week and as result there are now only 13 men in the 300 list, with several hanging on by thread. Rising of Springfield is still the star performer. He has made 39 safe hits so far and is far ahead of the next two men in that respect. Schincel of this city is second with an average of .368. Stankard of Springfield is third with an average of .35s. These men are batting far better than last season. Ladd has been hitting the ball well and is in fourth place, hav- ing come up from ninth last week. Norwich and New London now have not a man in the list while Water bury has but two, Lachance having fallen off in the last-tw weeks. Here

Jack Blackburn Knocked Out His Man Last Night Cans and
 Britt May Do Battle.

Jack Blackburn scored one of the easiest victories of his life last night when he knocked out Fred Bradley, of Boston, in the second round of q
 bout at the Philadelphia Sporting club. The time of the second round was one minute and five seconds Bradley out weighed Blackburn by fully twenty pounds, but the latters superior cleverness and ring generalship gave him quick victory.
 A rumor is floating around that Jimmy Britt has been matched to fight Joe Cans before the Colma A. C., San Francisco on Native Sons day, September 9. Britt is even now in good shape, but it is understood
 that he will not fight before the date set for his second meeting with the
 champion. When Britt last fought
 Cans he lost on foul in the fourth
 round of what has since been called
 a fake fight. Britt insisted at the
 time that he was over anxious and
 hit Cans when he was down. Ever
 since the fight Britt has always said
 he wished for another chance, and
 he is very much elated over the fact
 that Coffroth has told him Cans will fight him on September 9.
 Joe Cans has received word from Jimmy Gardner, who beat Harry Lewis, the Philadelphia exponent of the manly art, the other night at Dem yer, demanding match.
 Gardner has posted a $10,Oo0 forfeit
 to meet the champion weigh in at 3 o'clock in the afternoon at 133 pounds. Ever since Joe has lost the winning
 share of that Nevada fight with Nelson shooting craps he has been anxious to get on with any of them.
 Cans thinks he can beat Gardner
 easily and will probably take him on. A short time ago Attell was telling Tom McCarey of the Pacific club, Los Angeles, few easy marks would
 help to swell the family bank account and Tom matched him with local fighter, Kid Solomon.
 Solomon had been fighting at the
 club for long time and as he was one
