lumber business?" ventured to
Mr.. Walker.
II simply saw an opportunity,
and grasped it.
THE nation must soon look to
California for it's pine lumber sup
ply. Her forests are practically
virgin. The inaccessibility of the
mountain regions has delayed it's
opening until necessity demanded
it. l began buying California pine
lands Is years ago, as | realized
that this investment must prove
very profitable. But in acquiring
this timber it was imperative that
very large areas should be under
single control. With many and
scattered ownerships it would never
have been marketed. 1t is too ex-
pensive to make it profitable to
capital.
"a long railroad is necessary to
reach it. The mountain streams
are useless for transportation, as
they are too PERCEPTIONS. Mills
costing heavy outlay of money will
be required to cut the logs into
lumber
Our railroads will be construct
ed as rapidly as possible. Before
Minnesota, Michigan and Canada
have ceased to produce pine lum-
Der, California will be shipping the
lumber now locked up in her noun
tains."
when you have exhausted the
California timber, where will : the
world get pine lumber?"

ton of the California timber"
How can you prevent it?p |
asked.

mia to assist me in perpetuating her
pine forests, and with their assist
ance reforesting methods will be
employed. The mountain lands are
useless for agricultural purposes
and can be easily continued in

there were no smallpox cases

This is the remarkable utterance
of a man whose wealth is estimated
at $10O,000,000 and who, though in
conspicuous, ranks among the ma
tons richest captains of industry.
BY the single stroke of his pen,
Thomas Barlow Walker, who owns
more timber land than any other
man in the world. might stack his
millions in equal numbers with
those of John d. Rockefeller or An
drew Carnegie.
In special interview at his home
in this city, the timber king dis
cussed the great economic question
of the day and explained his own
position. Despite his enormous
wealth he is little known outside of
his immediate business and home
circles. This, therefore, may be
considered his public introduction
as new and unique figure in
American life.
In lumber circles the unsolved
question has been why lumber
trust was not formed along the lines
of other big industrial corporations.
Early in his interview Mr.. Walker
gave the answer. for the first time
publicly. He said:
LAS long as live there will never
be a timber trust if l can prevent
it. l have been approached repeat
edly to head a combination that
would control practically all the
lumber supply of the United States
and Canada. | have as often posi-

king. With his many associates Mr..
Weyerhauser may control as much

valuable. For $100,00O,000 is the
value placed upon his California
timber by conservative men.

TRIAL OF FIRST AIR BRAKE.
Was Surprise to all When the Test
Proved Satisfactory.

The air brake was ushered into
actual use in the most dramatic
fashion. The trial trip occurred In
April, 1869. The train selected was
tho Steubenville accommodation,
running between Pittsburg and Steu-
benville, Ohio. Which the train was
going at full speed, suddenly as he
came around a sharp curve, the en-
gineer saw a stalled wagon in the
middle of the track dead ahead.
With hand bEakes only, nothing
could have prevented a terrible
smashup. The formal time for the
trial of the air brake had not come,
but the brake was there, and in des-
peration. not believing for moment
that the thing could possibly avail,
the engineer threw on the air. But
II did avail.
The observers in the rear were AL
most catapulted out of their seats by
the shock of the sudden stop. Bat
when they saw the engine fairly
poking it's nose into the wagon bed.
SO narrow had been the margin be-
tween safety I'd disaster. they for
got all about their shock and stood
in awed silence. The air brake had
come into its own.
