The Waning Hardwood Supply.

Although the demand for hardwood
lumber is greater than ever before,
H." annual cut today is billion feet
less than IT was seven years ago. I'm
tins time the Wholesale price of the
different classes ur hardwoml lumber
advanced from - 10 Is per cent. The
cut Of oak, which in 1899 was more
than half the total cut Of hardwoods,
has Fallen off 3G per cent. Yellow
poplar, which was formerly second in
point Of output, has fallen off 3S
per cent, and elm has fallen 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 in
dustries. The cooperagc, furniture,
and vehicle industries depend upon
hardwood timber, and The railroads,
telephone and telegraph companies,
agricultural implement manufacture
cr<, and builders use il extensively.
This leads TO The question, Where is
the future supply of hardwoods to be
found? The cut in Ohio and Indi-
ana, which, seven ycras ago, led all
other states, has fallen off onc-half.
Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan,
Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey,
Tennessee, Texas. West Virginia, and
Wisconsin have also declined in
hardwood production. The chief cen
tcrs Of production now lie in the lokc
States. the lower Mississippi Valley,
and The Appalachian Mountains. Yet
in the Lake states the presence of
hardwooods Is an almost certain in
dicatiOn Of rich agricultural land,
and when the har,lwoodS are cut the
land is turned permanently to a@ricul-
tural use. Tn Arkansas, Louisiana,
and Mississippi the production of
hardwoods is clearly at its 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
from the fire and reckless cutting,
they produce the best kinds of timber,
since their soil and climate combine
to make heavy stands and rapid
growth. Yet much Of the Appala-
chian forest has been so damaged in
The past that it will be years before
il will again reach high state of
productivcncss. Twenty billion feet
of hardwooods would be a conscrva-
tive estimate Of the annual productive
capacity Of the 75,O00,000 acres Of
forest lands in the Appa:achians if
they were rightly managed. Until
they are We can expect a shortage in
hardwood timber.

have taken place yesterday afternoon
fell through, owing to the interference
of several of the property owners, who

to appear at the village board meet
ing when the matter of granting the
street car franchise would be publicly
brought up. AS the outsiders persist

expressed their disapproval of such a

its right to privacy. 1t is composed

had been in the room but short time
when a binding flash came and they
were thrown to the ground. while the
roof was torn from the walls OF the
house and the plaster and rain fell
down upon them. They were unin-

they managed TO find the stairway.

Six houses were struck by lightning
on Calumet Heights, two of which
were a complete loss. The two houses
that were destroyed belonged to Frank

John Rassh, 9236 Oglesby street Each
house was occupied by families who
were in bed when the lightning struck
In a short time the buildings were In
flames and the occupants were COM
pelled to rust into the streets in their

were more or less damaged.
George Randoldt, a bridge tender at
the Ninety-fifth street bridge was
struck by lightning and rendered IN
conscious. The bridge shanty in which
he was at the time, was partly de-
molished. Frank Lingree another
bridge tender who was with Randoldt

OUTLYING TERRITORY
ALSO SUFFERS

The fierce ravages of one of the
worst ELECTRICAL storms seen in this
community for years left in its wake
thousands of dollars worth OF dam
age, most of which was inflicted on
the property OF farmers in every sec
tiOn of the country. The storm being
in the heighth of its ferocity in the
dead of night, but little effort could
be brought to bear to extinguish
flames caused by lightning when once
they had gained any headway. The
barns suffered the greatest damage and
in no case did the farmers have any
chance of saving anything but the live
stock.
From the first ponderous rumble of
thunder at o'clock last night the
storm grew in severity until the deaf
ening crashes and the brilliant flashes
of lightning caused hundreds to
tremble with fear. It would be i'm
possible to estimate the total property
loss. as hundreds OF minor cases have
been reported such as the destruction
of valuable trees, buildings. ana
other property too small to enumerate,
but would amount to a great deal in
the aggregate.
Crown Point is Loser.
The greatest amount of damage
seems to have ben inflicted in the vi
cinity OF the county seat, where numer-
Gus barns were struck, causing con-
siderable loss. Four cases are report
ed from Crown Point and vicinity
alone. the most serious of which is the
total destruction of the barn of Robert
/ NJ. McIntire whose farm is located one
mile west Of Hebron. The barn was
struck about 4 o'clock this morning and
/ instantly caught fire. The blaze was
/ discovered so late and spread Sd rap
/ idly that the owner scarcely had time
/ to remove the live stock before the en-
/ tire building was in flames Hay. har-
ness, farm implements. buggies and
wagons and valuables of every descrip-
tion were consumed and the embers
were finally extinguished by the
drenching rain. The loss is estimated
TO be approximately $4,000.
The barn Of William Ziesemiss. five
miles south of Crown Point was also
visited by a severe shock, tearing of
$50 from the valuation of the building.
Owing TO its soaked condition the barn
did not catch fire and luckily not a
single hair Of any of the animals Gagged
within was singed. In Crown Point
proper two houses were victims of the
storms fury.
Houses Suffer.
The residence OF Henry Alworn. cash
Ter OF the Peoples State Bank. was
touched by bolt which inflicted just
enough damage TO show that 1t had
been there. At o'clock this morn
ing the barn of John DoehIer of Joliet
street was struck and injured TO the
extent of $500. All of thss horses es-
capped injury.

East Chicago, Sept. 1S.-At a meeting
OF the city council Of East Chicago the
contract for the construction OF the
new city hall was let to A II. w.

The construction of the building is to
begin within fifteen days according to
The contract. but not. however. with
cut the consent OF the citizens OF In
diana Harbor. who filed yesterday a
bill for an injunction in the circuit
court at Crown Point.
The suit is the result of a bitter
struggle between the two towns on
the location of the city hall, which has
been waged for some time. Indiana
Harbor wished to have the building
situated between the two cities so that
it would be conveniently located foi
both of them but East Chicago does
not see II that way and succeeded ir
having adopted the site on Forsyth
