LUMBER AND TIMBER PRODUCTS OF COUNTRY Description of Different Classes of Timber Issued
 By Government. PRICES IS INCREASED. Now Cost on an Average Fourteen Per Cent. More
 Than In 1905.
PRICES IS INCREASED.

Bulletin 77, just published by the Bureau of the Census, contains a sta- tistical report on lumber and timber products by Jasper E. Welchel, ex- pert chief of the division of manufac- lures, and an article on the timber re- gions of the United States by Henry Gannett, geographer of the United States Geological Survey. The bull letln was prepared under the supervi- sion of William M. Steuart, chiet sta- tistician for manufactures.
 Lumber and timber products, as de- fined by the Bureau of the Census, are manufactured in three classes of es- logging or timber camps sawmills and blaming mills. The raw material of the logging industry IS standing timber, and it's leading pro duct is saw logs. Among the other principal products are shingle, stave, and leading bolts, cooperage and ex- celsior stock. fence posts, hop and hoop poles, handle stock, tan bark, piles, paving stock, railway ties, rived or split shingles, masts and spars, ship knees, telegraph and telephone poles, wheel stock, and charcoal. Logs and bolts, products of the logging camps, constitute the raw materials of the sawnills, and rough lumber is their leading product. The term rough lumber comprises all sawed products reported in thousand feet, board meas ure, such as blanks, boards, scantlings, | furniture stock, carriage and wagon stock, agricultural implement stock, bobbin and spool stock, and dimension stock. Among the other principal pro- ducts of the industry are shingles; cooperage materials; veneers, cut sawed, and sliced and laths. In the blaming mill industry rough lumber forms the principal material, with hardware, glass, glue, etc, as other materials, while chief among it's pro ducts are finished lumber, such as ceiling, flooring, etc, and sash doors blinds, and interior finish.
 These three industries ae so closely | COlll6Ct6u ludl OltCl o Sih5iS S"eNNH nshment includes a logging camp, a sawmill, and a blaming mill. The Blu reau of the Census recognizes this close connection, and, although it treats each branch as a separate in- dustry, it gives the figures for the lumber and timber industry as a whole. Since, however, some of the I products of the lumber camp are the raw materials of the sawmill, and some of the products of the sawmil the raw materials for the blaming mil

Logging Camps.

Tn 1905 returns were received from 12494 logging camps with combined capital of $90, ,454, 494 These camps em- ployed on the average 146,596 wage earners, paid $66, ,9S9, 795 in wages, con- sumed materials costing $SO, 412,S2S and manufactured products valued at $236,1 191, ,04S.
 Of the total number of logging camps ii ,644, or 93.2 per cent, were conducted by milling establishments; and $50, or 6.8 per cent, were operated independ- ently. The dependent logging camps re- ported 7S per cent. of the capital. 80 per cent of the wage-earners, IS per cent of the wages, 90 per cent. of the cost of materials, and S6 per cent of the value of products While it is thus ap- parent that bulk of the logging indus- try is carried on in conjunction with sawmills, the independent camps on an average are much larger. These inde- pendent camps follow closely the cen- ters of heaviest lumber production.
 In the amount of production, which can most accurately be measured by the number of thousand feet of saw logs produced, Washington ranked first, Louisiana second, Wisconsin third, Pennsylvania fourth, and Arkansas fifth In the value of products, however, the five leading states were Wisconsin, Washington, Michigan Minnesota, and Pennsylvania.
 A comparison of the figures for 1905 with those for 1900 shows that growth in the industry since 1900 has been most rapid in the Southwestern States, while substantial and, with respect to most

Lumber and Timber.

The figures given for the lumber and timber industry as whole show that |19127 establishments, with a combin- ed capital of S517,22412S, were manu- facturing lumber and timber products
 at the census of 1905. These establish
 ments employed on thet average 404,626 wage -earners, and they paid S1S3,O21, 519 in wages, consumed materials cost ling $1S3, ,687,210, and manufactured pro-
 ducts valued at $5S0,O2269O.
 The establishments were widely dis tributed, for in 1905 lumber and tim iber products were manufactured on a jcommercial scale in every state and territory except North Dakota. In nine states the production of lumber
 was the principal industry and in 1 twelve it was second in importance The six leading states in the industry with the value of products manufac- tured in each, were, in 1905; Washing ton S49,572,512; Wisconsin, $44, 395, ,766;
 Michigan, $4O,569,395; Louisiana, $35,- 192374; Minnesota, $33, ,1S3, ,3O9; and
 Pennsylvanla, $31 ,642, ,390.

sayyniIIs.

At the census of 1905 the number of sawmills reported was 1S,277, and their combined capital was $3Sl621,lS4 They furnished employment on the average to 22S,674 wage -earners, paid $100, 0,910,S91 in wages, consumed materials costing s268, ,S65 ,101, and manufactured products to the value of $491 ,524 662.
 In this industry Wisconsin ranked first according to the value of pro- ducts, Washington second, Michigan third, Louisiana fourth, and Pennsyl- vania fifth. In 1900 Wisconsin was sec ond, Washington sixth, Michigan, first, Louisiana eleventh, and Pennsylvania third.
 IA classification of the mills according to the quantity of lumber cut indicates that between 1900 and 1905 the capacity of the average mill materially increas- ed. Mills cutting 100000 feet or more annually formed 89,S per cent. of the total number in 1905, as contrasted with 3e.6 per cent. in 1900
 The principal products of the saw mills. with thelr values were as as fol- lows Rough lumber, $435,7OS, oS4 shin gles, SPA, o09, ,61O hoops, $3,159,973; slaves, s19, ,O82,641; headings, $7,4S6,259; and laths, s5, ,495,96S.

Flaming Mills.

The number of blaming mills report ed in 1905 was 9,4S6, and their com bined capital was $222 ,294,1S4. They employed 132,O30 wage-earners, paid $66, ASA, 40 in wages, consumed ma terials costing 73,276,SS1, and manu- factured products valued at $404, ,650,- 2S2.
 Tn the value of products of this in- dustry New York ranked flrst Wis consin second, Pennsylvania third, Minnesota fourth, and Illinois fifth. The high rank of New York in the blaming mill industry is due almost en- tirely to the magnitude of the operation of it's independent blaming mills. Illi- nois Is also important because of its large number of Independent mills, as are also Ohio and Massachusetts.

All Kinds of Lumber Increase in Cost

The increase in the average value of all lumber was from $11.14 per thous- and feet in 1900 to $t2.76 at the cen
 sus of 1905, or 145 per cent, The ad- vance extended to all species of both conifers and hard woods, and in the
 case of several of them was large. Among the conifers, yellow pine ad- vanced from $S.59 per thousand feet to $10.1O: white pine, from S12.72 to S1492; hemlock, from $9.97 to $11.91; Douglas from $S.67 to $951; spruce, from 511.29 to $14O9; and cypress, from
 S13.34 to $1L5O Oak increased from $14.O2 per thousand feet to $1751; pop liar, from $14.22 to $1S.OO; maple, from
 $11 .S3 to $14.94; cottonwood, from $1O85
 to $14.92; elm, from $1157 to $14,45; and gum, from $9.75 to $10,87

A Good Booster.

A minister was assigned to a
small New England town not
long ago, and upon his arrival
found his new field to afford al
most all thatcould be wished for,
with one exception, this exception
being old Bill Johnson. Old Bill
was very much addicted to look
ing upon the wine when it was
red, and the new minister at once
announced his intention to bring
him to see the error Of his ways.
"Wall, of course:w we knows
you mean right: parson," one Of
the elders said slowly, ,stroking
his white beard, "but it would
be a mighty bad thing for the
town if old Bill was to quit drink
ing" "Wall. parson, it is like
this, the elder explained.

talker nowhere than old Bill and
every time he gets drunk and So
bers up he gets somebody to
sign the pledge with him-an
the other fellow pretty nearly
always keeps it. -

Since the courts have imposed
a fine on the Standard Oil Com
pany amounting to nearly $780,,
0O0,0 600, and which was received
all over the country with so
much rejoicing, a reaction has
set in, and the people are begin
ming to sober up and wonder
where they come in on this spec
tacular deal. They are begin
ming to realize who it is that
must pay this enormous tine,
they know, not a dollar of it
comes out of the mammoth cor
poration, but in the end the en-,
tire fine with interest compound
ed will be extorted from the
helpless masses.
If Judge Lands, instead OF
imposing a money-ine had sen,
fenced the heads of the Standard
Oil trust including Deacon Rock
efeller to a long term OF I'M
prisonment the country might
get some relief from trust op-
preston, but as it is, the trusts
are fined for robbing the masses
and ii they are ever made to
pay up, one stroke Of the pen
will set their mills to grinding
the fine many times doubled,
out of the struggling masses.

the other gives in Will become

MANY who do business by wire
will be greatly damaged.
The battle between labor and
capital promises to be a long
siege,it is the greatest strike the
country has ever known. Active
steps are being taken to concen-
trate the monies Of labor into a
fund to fight the millions OF the
corporations. a number of labor
organizations have signitied their
intention to stand by the tele-
graphers, and the probability IS
that Gompers. Mitchell and

NOT FAIR.

There appeared IN yesterdays
News and Courier dispatch
from Edgefeld relating to one
I. Prayer, convicted of the
charge Of adultery, and sentenced
to eight months on the chain
gang or pay a fine Of four hun
dred dollars. Tis pity Prayers
sentence could not have been
term on the gang without the
alternative Of paying fine. But
in this dispatch it is specially
mentioned that Prayer is a Jew.
Just why the culprit's religion
should be dragged in we cannot
understand. If Prayer was a
Methodist, Presbyterian, Bap-
tist, Holy Jumper, Zionist or
Catholic, the probability is there
would have been no allusion to
his faith. The allusion to faith,
not so intended, however, is
really a compliment to the
Jewish race, because, the courts
are so seldom called upon to
punish Jews for offending the
moral or statutory laws, that
when a case does occur it must
be made especially prominent.
There are no people on earth
who have greater or more
sacred regard for the marriage
relation than the Jew, and when
one does disregard this relation
ne falls deep down in degrade
ton in Jewish estimation, and
no longer is he recognized in
respectable society. Would it
were so with the people Of all
faiths and creeds. There is no
more reason to make prom
inent that Prayer is a Jew,
than to hold up to obloquy
any other faith because of
the trausgressions of one Of
the fold.

When Charleston gives. up the
blind tiger traffic, underanything
but a license system: we expect
to see the Battery moved to Line
street. The News and Courier is
doing its duty in preaching obe-
dience to law, and its argument
is convincing that it is to
Charleston's interests to run the
blind tigers out, but with the
government doing a business
that it forbids its taxpayers to
engage in, brings on resentment
at whatever cost. rather than
reason. Charleston will never
be a dry town, nor will it agree
to give the government a liquor
selling monopoly. There is but
one way for Charleston to regu-
late the liquor traffic. and that IS
through q license system, even
if the dispensary regulations are
required.

oors IS received in this State
with regret. He has been of
great help to Congressman Lever
in the way of getting appropri-

his retiring from the position
may, ard it probably will, cut off
a considerable part of the South
