There is no Doubt but That He Will

Business Man and His Supporters
Declare They Will Elect Him
Intenest in municipal politics has
at last been awakened. For long
time it seemed that there would be
no one to announce for the office of
councilman, three Of whom must be
elected next December Yesterday
the friends of Mr. Eugene G.. Ham
got very busy and unknown to him
circulated petition asking him to
enter the race for thte, office of c'oun-
Gilman at large. While not being
able to learn anything from Mr.. Ham
personally, The Times is of the opin-
ion that he will enter tho race. Judg
ing from the large number of promi-
nent citizens who have signed it, the
petitioned could hardly resist the ap-
peal.
Mr.. Ham is one OF the most pro-
minent young business men OF the
city. He is a large property holder
and has taken keen interest in city
politics In times past, and his friends
assert that they will compel him %
%nter the race i1ould he DECLINE,
But Mr.. Ham is a patriotic citizen
who takes the welfare of the city at
heart, and that he will enter the race
is almost fforegone conclusion and
his election is almost as certain Fol

filed by City Clerk Starting:

'It used to be in Thebes about 1900
years before Christ" Norwood re-
piled. The story as l know it goes
no farther back than the early sixties,
when party of five friends from Phil
adelphia assembled the Nile as far as
the first cataract. At Luxor they rest
ed a week with a view to visiting the
site of the great city of Thebes, and
especially it's marvellous and mystic
temple of Amen Ra. Upon the night
of their arrival fete was given in
their honor by the consul, Mustapha
Aga. In the middle of the festivities
a strange nomad from the desert made
his appearance Unexpectedly. His err
rand was to inform Mustapha of the
discovery, near certain oasis, OF
mummy case Of surprising beauty
which had once held the body of a
high priestess of Amen Ra. Escorted
by Mustapha Aga and his guard, they

| drew lots among themselves for the

the mummy case, and, ''at first" pur-
| sued Norwood, good fortune seemed
! to favor the eldest of the party, who
was designated to me simply as Mr. X,
but he had a generous disposition and
relinquished his rights in favor of the

coveted object l need not now re-
count the circumstances which led in
the course of few months to the
transfer of the property to each in

company, Mr.. G.. and Mr.. Q. But here
begins the mystery. Within the year,
P lost his life by the explosion of a
fowling piece without visible cause;
G. disappeared while bathing in the
Nile in the vicinity of a crocodile
pool, and @. died of snake bite. Mr.
X. alone survived and arrived in Cairo
broken in health, only to learn that
the greater part of his fortune had
been lost through the knavery of an
agent. Truly, the priestess of Amen

"Why, the mummy, as l should

But you didn't remarked the

HARDWOOD IS SCARCE
Forestry Service Discusses the
Waning Supply In Its Latest
Bulletin

Although the demand for hardwood
lumber is greater than ever before, the
annual cut to-day is billion feet less
than it was seven years ago. In this
time the wholesale price of the different
classes of hardwood lumber advanced
froml % to Is per cent. The cut OF
oak, which in 1899 was more than half
the total cut of hardwoods, has fallen
off Sc per cent. Yellow poplar, which
was formerly second in point OF out
put, has fallen off 3S per cent, and elm
has fallen off one.half.
The cut OF softwoOds is over TOUR
times that of hardwoods, yet it is
doubtful if a shortage in the former
would cause dismay in so many in
dustries. The cooperage, furniture,
and vehicle industries depend upon
hardwood timber, and the railroads,
telephone and telegraph companies,
agricultural implement manufacturers
and builders use it extensively. -
This leads to the question, where is
he future supply of hardwoods to be
found? The cut in Ohio and Indiana,
which, seven years ago, led all other
states, has fallen off one-half. Illi-
nois, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan,
Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey,
Tennessee, Texas, West Virginia, and
Wisconsin have also declined in hard
wood production. Thel chief centers
of production now lie in the lake
states, the lower Mississippi Valley,
| and the Appalachian mountains. Yet
in the Lake States the presence OF
hardwoods is an almost certain lndlca'
ton of rich agricultural land, and
when the hardwoods are cut the land
is turned permanently to agricultural
use. In Arkansas, Louisiana, and
Mississippi the production OF hard
woods is clearly at it's extreme height,
and in Missouri and Texas it has
already begun to decline.
The answer to the question, there
fore. would seem to lie in the Appa'
lachian mountains. They contain the
largest body of hardwood timber left
in the United States. On them grow
the greatest variety OF tree species
anywhere to be found. Protected IRON
fire and reckless cutting, they produce
the best kinds of timber, since theil
soil and climate combine to MAKE
heavy stands and rapid growth. 4e
much of the Appalachian forest ha'
been so damaged in the past that i
will be years before it will again reacf
a high state of productiveness. Twenty
billion feet of hardwoods would be
conservative estimate of the annua
productive capacity of the $4,000, OU
acres of forest lands in the Appa
lachians if they were rightly managed
Until they are we can expect a shoItag
in hardwood timber.

Doctors Hard Time.

1t is somewhat difficult for an Amer
lean physician to open a practice in
Peru. Before the doctor can be ad-
mitted he must take an examination
in Spanish before a board in the usual
medical and surgical. The fee for this
examination is $500 in gold, being the
same fee as that paid by a medical
student during his seven years course
of instruction in the national colleges.
The license when obtained is good for
practice in Ecuador, Bolivia and
