AAS uoiiS AhpuhASr VI NeW 1OTk,
an excellent new publication which is
into the interior to build a home or
devoting much space to Pacific coast
subjects, says of the lumber and saw
mill industry of the northwest:
On the Pacific slope is still to be
found the cheapest high grade stump
age in the country, though the values
in this region show substantial in
crease over 1900.
Practically all species Of merchant
able timber have increased in stump
age value. Yellow pine, which was
the species most used when the fig
ures for both 1900 and 1906 were col
lected. increased from SLIP to s1.6S.
White pine increased from $3.50 to
s462 Douglas fir, the chief species
converted into lumber in the states of
Washington and Oregon, from II
cents to $1.05; hemlock from s2.56
to 1851; oak, from S3.1S to 1888;
spruce. from $2.26 to 1910, and cy-
press, from $1.5S to s3.42. Redwood,
found only in California, advanced in
value from s1.06 to s1.55, or 46.2 per
cent.
The increased value of log stump
~ io IN ha ol,,a
of the products of the lumber camps.
Saw logs, the principal product Of the
industry, increased in quantity from
25,279,702 thousand feet in 100 to
27,sS0,76S in 1905, gain of 1917 per
cent; but they increased in value from
s15S,SS0.352 to s210,074.4S6 in 1905,
a gain of 32.2 per cent. The number
of railway ties reported increased
from 22,524,640 to 36,445,30S, or 61.S
per cent; while their value increased
from ss,277,43s to $12,41S.7sS. or
97.S per cent.
THE average value of tie rose from
% cents in 1900 to "a cents In 1905.
In this connection it should be noted
that the census figures do not include
ties cut by farmers during the winter
months and sold directly to the rail-
roads. The figures are for hewn ties.
Sawed ties are forming an increasing
percentage of the total production of
railway ties in the country, and they
are reported by the mills in thousand
feet under the heading Of rough lum-
Der.
The other products of the lumber
camp generally show an increase both
in quantity and value. Hemlock bark,
however, decreased in quantity from
All, ,S02 cords to S91,69t cords, but 1t
increased in value from $1,940,057 to
$2,347,463. Charcoal decreased both
IN quantity and value,
At the census of 1905 the number
of sawmills reported was 1927, and
their combined capital was S3S1,621,-
1874. They furnished employment on
the average to 223.674 wage earners,
paid s1Oo,S1O,Ss1 in wages, consumed
materials costing 263,S65,101, and
manufactured products to the value
of $491,524,662.
In this industry Wisconsin ranked
first according to the value of pro-
ducts, Washington second, Michigan
third, Louisiana 18th and Pennsyl-
vania fifth.
A classification of the mills accord
ing to the quantity of lumber cut in
dicates that between 1900 and 1905
the capacity of the average mill ma
terial increased. Mills cutting 1000

Indla's Wild Hill Tribes.

The wild hill tribes in India, known
as the KOlis Kumbis, Dhangurs and
Dhayars, are a people imbued with
quaint Old World superstitions They
are haunted by the fear of the evil
eye, especially for their children.
Cunning and light of foot as satyrs,
these children are ready to disappear
with a sudden bound into the forest
thickets. The Dhangurs have curious
marriage customs. When they want
to ascertain the favorable moment for
the performance of the rites, the
young couple are made to sit before
the door of a hut, from which a COW
and then its calf are driven forth. If
the calf runs to its mother on the
right of the seated pair the ceremony
can begin. If, on the contrary, it
passes them on the left, the proceed
ings must be suspended. A ring
passed over the brides finger, some
grains of rice thrown over the young
people, and they are married. These
tribes have an incessant struggle
against poverty and the elements.
