Incrensed value of Saw Logs.

The increased value of log stumpage is reflected in the increased value of the
 products of the lumber camps. Saw logs, the principal product of the h. dustry, increased In quantity from 25,-
 279,702 thousand feet in 1900 to 27,9S0,-
 76S in 1905, a gain of 1o.7 per cent. but they increased In value from s15S,SSO,-
 S52 to s21O,O74,4S6, a gain of S2.2 per cent The number of railway ties re-
 ported increased from 22,524,64O 10 S6,- 445, 1908, or 61.S per cent; while their value increased from s6,277, ,499 to s12,-
 4tS,79S, or 97.S per cent. The average value of tie rose from 2S cents In 1900 to 94 cents in 1905, Tn this connec- tion it should be noted that the census
 figures do not include ties cut by farm- CTS Curing the winter months and sold directly to the railroads It should also be noted that the figures are for hewn ties Sawed ties are forming an in creasing percentage of the total produc- ton of railway ties in the country, and they are reported by the mills in thous- and feet under the heading of rough lumber. The other products of the lum- Der camp generally show an increase both in quantity and value. Hemlock bark. however, decreased, in quantity from 471,S02 cords to S91,691 cords, but | 1t increased in value from $1,940O57 to $2,S47, ,46S. Charcoal decreased, both in quantity and value.

BEWARE LOCKJAM.
Doctors Giving Advice for Parents To-
 day.

The danger of lockjaw as the result of injuries sustained to-day is the sub- Ject of comment among many doctors, and they are advising parents to take extra precautions in the case of injur- les that may be received.
 It is suggested that all injuries be treated without delay, no matter how slight the abrasion may be and that the injury be watched as closely as one would watch a case of pneumonia.
 One doctor says: "The minute punc- tured wound, which scarcely leaves a trace on the skin, is much more dan- gerous than a large laceratlon which opens a considerable surface to the air.
 "A physician should at once be sum- moned, and in the meantime the wound should be most carefully wash- ed and then fomented with hot antisep- tic solution. A fatal result may often be prevented by prompt, vigorous ac- ton of the kind"

Increase Cost of Timber.

Throughout the country the value of log stumpage is increasing. The aver age value per thousand feet, board measure, for the United States increas- ed from $2.1S in 1900 to $2.59 in 1905, a rise of fl cents, or 1S.S per cent. This advance in the cost of stumpage added $11, ,472, 115 to the total cost of sawmill material and increased the value of lumber approximately. The increase is due not so much to a present shortage in the supply of lumber material in the country as a whole as to the fact that the available supply of log stumpage is rapidly being brought up and with drawn from the market.
 The conditions in certain of the States are noteworthy In Maine, New Hampshire, and New York the great denand for spruce to be used as a raw material in the wood pulp industry has caused an increase in stumpage values far above the average increase report ed for the country as a whole. In H. linois, Indiana, and Ohio, where little merehantable timber remains, the rise in stumpage values is due directly to the growing scarcity of sawmill ma terial for immediate use. In Kentucky and Tennessee, where the supply is still relatively large, the sharp advances are due in large part to extensive buy ing for future use. On the Pacific slope is still to be found the cheapest high grade .stumpage In the country, though the values in this region show sub stsntial increases over 1900.
 Practically all species of merchant able timber have increased in stump age value Yellow pine, which was the species most used at both eensuses, in- creased in value per thousand board feet from SLIP to $16S. White pine in- creased from $866 to A.62; Douglas fir, the chief species converted into lumber in the State of Washington and oregon, from IT cents to $105, hemlocl, from $256 to s3.51; oak, from $S1S to S3.S8; spruce, from $2.26 to $3.70i and cy- press from $1.5S to $842. Redwood, found only in California, advanced in value from $1.O6 to $1.55, or 46,2 per cent.
