OPENING SESSION
FILIPINO ASSEMBLY
Address of Sec. Taft Well
Received.

MANILA, Oct 16 (SpeciaD
second step in the plans of the Amer
lean government to make the Filipi-
nos self-governing was taken today,
when the representatives chosen at
the first insular election held last
month gathered in the capital for the
opening of the National Assembly
The presence of Secretary of War
Taft and his address conveying the
sentiment of the American people adj
ded to the Importance of the occas-
ion.
The inauguration of the Assembly
took place in the opera house and
was attended with military and civic
display The auditorium, which is
the largest in Manila, was thronged
with hundreds of citizens of all class
es, in addition to the membership of
the Assembly. In the audience were
many army and navy officials, con
sular officers and others whose uni
forms added brilliancy to the impress
sive scene. The ceremonies were
opened with an invocation by Arch
bishop Harry. Governor General
Smith then took the chair and after
a few brief remarks introduced Sec
rotary Taft, who delivered the princi-
pal address of the occasion. The Sec
rotary of War was given an enthusi-
astic reception and his address was
loudly applauded.

SENATOR KNOX AND
THE PRESIDENCY
Friends Are Saying Nice
Things.

WASHINGTON, D. c., October 16.
-(SpeciaD Senator Knox's return
to Washington recently served to
revive political gossip and presiden-
tial speculation. The Senator said
nothing that would add inspiration
to this speculation, as he is allowing
things to take their course.
While he is not active in any way,
his friends are not idle and the quiet
work now in progress in his interest
in various parts of the country is
sure to tell when there is a practi-
cal review of the situation.
Senator Knox is known as the con-
sentative Roosevelt man who has
advised the President on all the i'm
portant policies the latter has rec
commended to Congress and who mi
tiated most, if not all, the vital legis-
lation that Congress passed in res
ponse to the Presidents request. If
Mr.. Knox were in the Presidents
Cabinet today the chances are that
he would be the choice of Mr.. Roose-
welt for the nomination for to no
other member of his Cabinet has the
latter credited so much of the sue
cess of his Administration.
Mr. Roosevelt, in his warm blood
ed, impulsive nature, is greatly in
fiuenced by propinquity This has
made him respond enthusiastically to
the candidacy of Mr. Taft, his most
intimate friend and adviser in the
Cabinet.
When, however, the Roosevelt poll
cies were in their formative stage
and the first steps were being taken
toward their practical application in
the enforcement Of the antitrust law
and in the early days of legislation
amending the interstate commerce
law, no man was closer to the Presi-
dent than Mr.. Knox and no Cabinet
officers judgment so implicitly trusted
as his.

Yellow Pine Shortage

In the face of these fast increasing
prices, people are still found who
say that there is yet an ineXhaustible
supply of yellow pine in the South,
and that all talk about a famine is
unwarranted. Such statements are
not justifiabIe by conditions, and the
yellow pine numbering industry will
soon be in the face of a serious sort
age unless decided changes are made
in the present methods, and unless
valuable products now going to waste
are utilized The long leaf pine is
a slow-growing tree and does not
make timber with anywhere near the
rapidity that it is being cut. The
situation calls for making the very
best use of the present supply.
There are at present in the woods
of the South vast quantities Of pine
logs and tall stumps left as a result
of careless numbering in The past.
This material is rich i'll turpentine
and could be made to yield from ten
to fifteen gallons of refined spirits
per cord. Besides this, there is a
great waste at the saw mill in the
form of slabs, edgings and sawdust,
all of which must have a value, but
at present is, for the most part, SIM
ply burned to get it out of the way.
In fact, not more than so per cent of
the tree as it stands in the forest
comes to the market in the form of
valuable materials.

not lost single member by death
was mn error. Ed. Mcmillan WAS u

received the insurance. The over
sight occurred undoubtedly owing to
the fact that his body lies In the

ALASKA NOW SECOND
Exceeds All Starss Except Colorado in
Gold Produetion.

Exceed All Starss Except Colorado in
Gold Production.
Washington, Jan. l2.-Alaska not
only took second place among all the
states and territories in the produc-
tlon OF gold in 1906, but narrowly
missed being in the first position. The
preliminary estimate Of the director
OF the mint Of the production of gold
and silver in the United States has
just been issued and carries with it
the highest possible authority on this
subject.
According to this estimate Alaska's
production IN the year just closed was
~, 1851, 100, as against $14, 925, 600
in 1906.
Colorado led Alaska last year by
only about 81, 900. CALIFORNIA;
production was approximately 81, $780,
600 less than Alaska's.
Washington's gold production last
year was $3.50, 900, as against 1870, 600
in 1905. The silver output, however,
increased, the total being $40 500.
as against $l19, 400 in 1905.
OF the more important increases in
the production of gold as copmared
with 1905, Alaska stands first with a
gain of $6,316, 600. Nevada comes
next with 81, 500 600, and Arizona
third with $532 900. Colorado shows
loss in gold production of 81, 900, 900
and California loss of 1854, 900.
In silver production Montana shows
q loss Of 10000, 90 ounces, Colorado q
loss of 695, ZOO ounces and Utah gain
of 2,217, 900 ounces. The figures for
all states show net gain In gold pro-
duction of 81, 900, 700 and q net gain
in silver production of 80, 100 ounces.
