THE NATIONS
LUMBER SUPPLY

The United States has been consum
ing timber at a rapid rate. and while
substitutes are used in some instances
| the demand has continued to increase.
In general way it was understood
that the available surplus was being
used faster than timber was being re-
produced, but no exact statistics were
at hand. The forest service and GEN.
sus bureau have taken this subject up
and endeavored to secure data as to
the amount of lumber used annually
which are given in circular 81.
The value of the annual consumption
of lumber is given as $1,075, 600, 900,
aud it is stated that the total quantity
of wood cut to obtain these products
was not less than 20 billion cubic feet.
1t is estimated that the United States
is using annually 400 feet B. NJ. of
lumber per capita. while the averag g
for Europe is but so feet per capita.
This does not take into account the
consumption of ire-wood, mine tim
Der, cross-ties, etc, which are in
cluded i'll the consumption per capita,
which only treats of the sawed lum-
Der product.
The lumber cut in the United States
for the years 1880 to 1906, inclusive, is
estimated as 7C6, 6,712, 900 NJ. board
feet. OF this amount Michigan con-
tributed 80. 1876, 900 NJ. board feet, or
1879 per cent; Wisconsin, 1854, 900
NJ board feet, or 10 per cent. and Penn
sylvania is third with 81. $50, 900 NJ
board feet, or T. per cent. of the tot
al.
It is pointed out in the circular that
the increase in population since 1880
is barely more than half the increase
in lumber cut i'll the same period, Two
areas supplying timber have already
reached and passed thir maximum pro-
duction the Northeastern States in
1870 and the Lake States in 1890 To-
day the Southern States, which cut
yellow pine amounting to one-third
the total annual lumber cut of the
country, are undoubtedly near their
maximum. The Pacific States will
soon take the ascendency. The State
of Washington within a few years has
come to the front and now ranks first
of all individual States in volume of
cut, Pennsylvania ranking as sixth in
1905 with a lumber cut of l,73S, 972
NJ. Board feet
The total wooded area of the United
States is given as 700, 1863, 760 acres, of
which l44, 3l3. 4S5 acres are National
forests and 2,5S2,711 State reserves,
the balance 554, 313,511 acres, being
private and unreserved public forests;
the reserves constituting 81 per cent
of the total wooded area. The circu-
lar states that no one who is at all
familiar with the situation doubts for
an instant that we are rapidly using
up our forest capital.

FAIRER NO
THAN EVER

At the moment when some of tht
countrys most successful business mer
were beginning at the foot of the lad
der they had companions anl fellow
workmen who had an equal chance to
make good in the struggle for exist.
ence. Some of those men achieved a
moderate degree of success and others
accomplished dead failure. If you
were to interrogate the latter they
would probably tell you that they
"never had fair chance.
Some of them may tell the truth.
Nature may have handicapped them at
birth. For it is the merest folly to
hold that all men are endowed by ma
ture with the qualities which make
for success. Some are born poor. 1t is
out of the question for them to seize
great opportunities for the reason that
they lack capacity. Concerning all
such the tongue of censure should be
silent. Men who have but a single
gift, and that a very ordinary one,
cannot expect to move among the
masters of the race.
And yet it will not do to press this
plea of inequality too far. Labor, per-
sistent and long continued. accomp-
fishes wonders. Many a man of very
ordinary attainments at the start has
overcome his natural imperfections
and wrested victory out of the most
untoward circumstances. The history
of the race is full of the most convinc
ing examples. Conspicuous ability and
adaptability for some special work
makes progress easy, but enough has
been demonstrated by individual
triumphs to show that perseverance
and dogged determination are worth
more to their owner than genius.
The truth is, after we make allow
ance for the exceptions which exist in
every instance and which are said to
prove the rule most of the failures of
life are self-invited. The chap who
buttonholes you on the street corner
with the tale of his misfortune and
the envious missiles which fate is con
stantly hurling at him is largely re-
sponsible for his own failure to secure
remunerative employment or to keep
it once secured. He wants to eat his
cake and keep it too, feat that no
one has yet been able to accomplish.
He lacks the gift of continuance. He
starts out with a great flourish of
trumpets and tremendous enthusiasm
but his zeal is short-lived.
This is a wonderful country. No less
wonderful now than in the-beginning
There were golden chances fifty or
sixty years ago. Unquestionably. And
yet there were just as many disap-
pointed geniuses, in proportion to the
population, roaming the country or
holding down boxes in the country
store in those days as one finds in the
pool rooms and tobacco shops of the
twentieth century. We are told that

son to believe that is a mistake. If
our ancestors could come back and

CRUSADE AGAINST
NOXIOUS ANIMALS

The new act signed by Governor
Stuart creating a reward or bounty for
the destruction of certain noxious
animals killed within the Common
wealth of Pennsylvania has given a
fresh impetus to the crusade against
weasels, minks and other pestiferous
animals covered by the provisions of
the act
During the last few days under the
new act the pelts of five weasles have
been brought in to the county commits
sioners' office and paid for. Four of
the pelts were delivered by Jacob Bey-
er, who lives with Jacob Shultz in
Cooper township, and the remaining
one was brought in by John E. John
son of Derry township. The men re-
ceived a dollar for each pelt and ON
each one had seventy-fi five cents remain
ing after deducting the quarter dollar
due the justice of the peace for max
ing out the certificate.
For some years no bounty was paid
for the pelts of noxious animals i Il
this State. Considerable interest,
therefore, attaches to the act just pas
sed by the legislature, as all are anx-
ious to know just What its provisions
are.
The reward or bounty paid for the
killing of certain noxious animals is
as follows: For each wildcat. the
sum of four dollars; for each fox, the
sum of two dollars for each weasel
or mink, the sum of one dollar.
The bounty can be secured only by
producing either of the above slain
animals or the entire pelt thereof be-
fore any magistrate, alderman or
justice of tile peace of the county i'll
which such animal was killed aud by
the person making affidavit that he
killed the same. Upon the production
of such animal or pelt and the max
ing Of such affidavit the alderman,
magistrate or justice of the peace, as
may be, shall, i'll the presence of the
party making the affidavit and at leas
one elector Of the county, cut off the
ears from such animal or pelt and burn
the same.
Upon the destruction of the ears the
said official shall give the party max
ing the affidavit certificate, directed
to the commissioners of the county,
setting forth that the provisions of the
act have been complied with, naming
the kind of animal killed. the person
killing it, &c.
Upon the presentation of such GER
titicate the commissioners of the
county shall give an order for the
amount named in the certificate to
the person presenting the same, drawn
upon the county treasurer.
As indicated above the person kill
ing any of the above named noxious
animals aud complying with the law
receives the reward or premium, less
twenty-five cents, which goes to COM
