crease in population since 1880 is
barely more than half the increase
i'll lumber cut in the same period.
Two areas supplying timber have
already reached and passed their
maximum production the North
eastern States in 1870 and the
Lake States in 1860. To-day the
Southern States, which cut yellow
pine amounting to one third the
total annual lumber cut of the
country, are undoubtedly near
their maximum. The Pacific
States will soon take the ascend
ency. The State of Washington
within few years has come to the
front and now ranks first of all in
dividual States in volume of cut.
At present but one fifth of the
total forest area of the United
States is embraced in National
Forests. The remaining4Our ffths
have already passed or are most
likely to pass into private hands.
The average age Of the trees felled
for lumber this year is not less
than $50 years. In other words,
if he is to secure a second crop of
trees of the same size, the lumber
man or private forest owner must
wait, say, atleast one hundred
years for the second crop to grow.
AS a rule, such long time invest
ments as this waiting would in
voIve do not commend themselves
to business men who are accustOm-
ed to quick returns. But the
States and the Nation can look
much farther ahead. The larger,
the3 area of National and State
control over woodlands, the great
er is the likelihood that the forests
Of the country will be kept perma-
nently productive.

Gambling and Publicity.

Does it pay to advertise? Is
all advertising a gamble? These
questions are only asked by those
that have had only little eXper-
fence with publicity'S printers
ink-and is a foolish remark and
asked only by inexperience and
lack of knowledge and we might
add lack of kno Wedge as to what
is going on in the world. Those
that have ever had any experience
with that great business creating
force the greatest known motive
power for growth have found that
it does pay, is not gamble-does
pay and handsomely so-when
done anywhere near right. The
proof of this statement can be seen
in the use of newspaper advertis-
ing by the big stores-the big bus
mess successes of any town or city
is shown in the increase of its use
by the prosperous, successful mer-
chant shown by the great increase
of it's use by the same merchants.
If advertising did not pay-and
largely sO-the vast fortunes-the
millions expended for it every year
would be decreased rather than
increased.
The appropriation for advertis-
ing Of the large concerns are in
creased because they found that
it was the thing that made them
grow-made their business what
it is-and kept it up not from love
of any paper or any owner
of a paper, but because of
it's creative power-its great pow
er of telling thousands at once OF
the same thing at an absurdly low
cost per person.
The writer of this article once
heard the owner of one of the lar
gest patent medicine concerns III
the world say: IT am afraid OF
printers ink-of newspaper adver-
tising-for it makes or ruins every
big business-and | firmly believe
that were I to stop its use IwOuld
be run to fail in a few year"
And this can be truthfully APP
piled to every business depending
on the public
Spend your money for advertis-
ing-a wise way to make an appro-
priation is to take a percentage OF
the business done-say five OF ten
per cent of each years volume.
Use space literally and say
things worth saying and worth
reading to the public.

The Timber Supply.

Every person in the United
States is using six times as much
wood as he would use if he were
Gin Europe. The country as a
whole consumes every year be
tween three and four times more
wood than all of the forests OF the
r,S sted States grow in the mean :
lESife.. The average acre of forests
lays up store Of only 10 cubit
feet annually, whereas it ought to
be laying up at least 80 cubit feet
in order to furnish the products
taken out of it. Since 1880 more
than 100000, 100000 feet of tim
Der have been cut for lumber alone,
including $4,000, 100000 feet of
coniferous timber in excess of the
total coniferous stumpage estimate
of the Census in 1880.
These are some of the remark
able statements made in Circular
81 of the Forest Service, which
deals with the timber 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 at which forests products i'll
the United States have been and
are being consumed is far too Law
ish, and that only one result can
follow unless steps are promptly
taken to prevent waste i'll use and
to increase the growth rate of ev
cry acre Of forest in the United
States. This result is a timber
famine. This country is to-day in
the same position with regard to
forest resources as was Germany
$50 years ago. During this period
of $50 years such German States
as Saxony and Prussia, particular
ly the latter, have applied poll
cy ofgoverment control and regula-
ton which has immensely increas
ed the productivity of their for
ests. The same policy will achieve
even better results in the United
States, because we have the advan-
tage of all the lessons which Eu-
rope has learned and paid for in
the course of a century of theory
and practice.
Lest it might be assumed that
the rapid and gainiug depletion of
American forests resources is suf-
fciently accounted for by the in

LIVE LIKE A KING.
It's Not Difficult Matter In a Modern
 New York Hotel.

No crowned head ever pillowed itself for nights lodging with the satisfac- tion of knowing that under the same roof there were q thousand persons paid to look after it's safety, comfort and luxury, unless that crowned head found itself in a modern New York hO- tel, where a regiment of help" is em- ployed, consisting of clerks, chefs, pas try cooks, meat cooks. bakery men. soup cooks, detectives, watchmen, en- gineers, electricians, plumbers, carpen- ters, aundrymen, doormen. porters, buffers, walters, stewards, wine and cigar experts. decorators. messengers, waiting maids and chambermaids.
 Any person with $4 in his pockets can have the advantages of this regi- mental array of servants for one day by paying the price of a room at any of the greater hotels recently construct ed in the metropolis, though, of course, $4 is the lowest figure. Many of the rooms cost double that sum day, and some of the state apartments, with bedrooms, gorgeous parlor, private din ing room and bath, are not let for less than $100 or $125 a day. Even the four dollar rooms have baths, but the price of room or apartment does not include meals.-Remsen Ora wford in Success.

IBsEN's PARADOX.
And the Intimate Relation of Science
 to Society.

Ibsen. my great compatrlot, has in one of his works formulated the para dox that the man is strongest who stands most alone. There is certainly some truth in this-uay. there Is much truth in it so fur as science is con cerned. The man who in the search for truth goes his way independently of other men and of other considera- lions is certainly the man who is apt to find the greatest and most valuable truth On the other hand, it is also true that science more than most other things In life depends on cooperation, on the help of ones fellow beings, and this becomes more and more true every day Many people are apt to forget what science actually is and what they owe to science. for it is through sci ence that modern society actually eX ists. and the development of society as it Is today would be impossible if sci ence were eliminated. Humanity is growing; but if science and the means created by science are not growing, hu- manity will have to look forward to a very miserable future. Therefore the nation that wishes to be cared for must support science and those who carry on scientific work Science will live her own life and has done so ever since the days when Prometheus made his fatal expedition to the gods and stole the fire which is more or less burning In every one of Us and cannot be extinguished There is something sublime in this everlasting fire of sci ence Generation after generation dis appears. The individual is nothing, but always "watchful in the tower man shall remain in sleepless contempla- tion. "-Dr. Nansen.

H. T. Corey, of the Development company, has purchasee two lots in the county seat-EI Centro. Mir. Corey states that his property there would be a good holding even if Fl Centro did not get the county seat. With the ad- dition of that attraction to the town property will be that much more valu- able. Many lots have recently changed hands there at advanced figures. One man who paid $2Oo for a lot last winter was offered $500 Tuesday and refused. -Calexico Chronicle.

Entertainment Course
Arrangements to be Made for Course of Entertainment and Lectures
 in the Valley

The institute held at Fl Cenro May 3Oth. was the occasion of suggesting the benefit and success that could come of arranging a course of enter talnment and popular lectures of the highest order of talent to be given In ali the towns Of the valley. Accord ingy there was appointed a committee consisting of the ministers of the val ley together with an equal number of other citizens 10 take under considera ton such an enterprise. This com mittee met in Imperial last Monday; much enthusiasm was manifest. It was decided 10 take steps at once 10 provide for a course of six entertain ments and lectures 10 be given in six towns in the valley beginning about November and extending through the winter and spring It was also agreed that full course tickets be sold good for any point at $2.5o ticket. The plan adopted is that each town take up the matter and secure pledges for the sale of sufficient number of tickets to provide money fer the whole expense of the course. From ten 10 twenty-five citizens in the different localities can easily become responsible for a cer- number of tickets. These people may secure the sale of the necessary tick cts at once or stand go d for the mon- ey. What the committee wants is 10 learn as soon as possible what we may rely on as a bank account adequate to settle the expenses, so that we may be able to guage the cost of the talent we secure. The money need not be paid in till November lst, but we must know what sum is then due. We want the best talent Tn the United States; the am is to have great variety of pure, wholesome entertainment and instruc tion. which will consist of lectures, concerts and entertainments of the highest order. Let us raise the stand ard and demand the best. Our people are able to appreciate this and we are confident willing to pay for 1t. The plan will commend itself in that 1t pro- vides for the best at reasonable cost. Let us work together for the realization of our hopes.
