The Waning Hardwood Supply

The Waning Hardwood Supply.
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
from 25 to 65 per cent The cut of oak,
which in 1899 was more than half the
total cut of hardwoods, has fallen off
36 per cent. Yellow poplar, which was
formerly second in point of output, has
fallen off 3S per cent, and elm has fal-
len off one-half.
The cut of softwoods is over four
times that of hardwoods, yet it is
doubtful if shortage in the former
would cause dismay in so many indus.
tries. The cooperage, furniture. and
vehicle industries depend upon hard
wood timber, and the railroads, tele-
phone and telegraph companies, agri-
cultural implement manufacturers and
builders use it extensively.
This leads to the question, Where is
the 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, Min
nesota, Missouri, New Jersey, Ten
nessee, Texas, West Virginia, and Wis
consin have also declined in hardwood
production. The chief centers of pro-
duction now lie in the Lake States. the
lower Mississippi Valley, and the Ap-
paiachian Mountains. Yet In the Lake
States the presence of hardwoods is al
most certain indication of rich aericul.
tural land, and when the hardwoods
are cut the land is turned permanently
to agricultural use. In Arkansas.

duction of hardwoods is clearly at its
extreme height, and in Missouri and
Texas it has already begun to decline.
Inc answer to the question, there.

In the United States. On them grow
the greatest variety of tree species any
where to be found. Protected from

the best kinds of timber, since their
SOIL and climate combine to make
heavy stands and rapid growth. Yet
much of the Appalachian forest has

urer, is fully competent to conduct
the office of County Treasurer, be-
ing a graduate of one of the best

he is poor mana struggling

At last the Charleston Mail has
seen the errors of it's way in
regard to the state tax reform
laws. There has been a shake-up in
the policy of the Mail as shown in
the following from its editorial col
umns:
I've are all Republicans and are
striving for success as such. If we
have differences let them end when
the party ticket is named. and then
lend our aid toward making the adj
ministration successful one, after
electing our ticket. Prior to the con-
vention let's be fair to those who are
themselves fair and put aside per-
sonal feeling in behalf of the best
interests of the party. The new tax
laws are proving successful in our
state and results show that no mis-
take was made in adopting them. A
few. changes may, perhaps. be neces-
sary, but they should be made by
friends and not by enemies of the
new system. Their benefits are be-
ing felt alike by Republicans and
Democrats and they are a permanent
thing on the statute books of the
state"
1t is significant, Indeed. when an
established and influential newspa-
per~like the Charleston Mail takes
a reef In its sails and Endorses the
new tax reform laws after long
drawn out fight against them. Evil
IDENTIFY the owners OF the paper event
ually found out that the antagonistic
course pursued did not meet with
popular approval. The tax reform
laws have been tried and found to be
just what they claimed to be notwith-
standing the vigorous assaults Of
those who had figured ont fizzle and
failure in them. The highly success
full workings of the laws are putting
to .rout all of their enemies, slowly
but surely, one by one. The fran.
tie. howls against the laws subsidized
into murmurs and now the mur-
murs are dwindling into silence. The
victory is. indeed. about complete.
