Special Correspondence to The Press
| WASHINGTON, d. c.. Sept. IL
The rapidity with which the news
paper is eating up the American
spruce forests has caused some
alarm among officials of the gov
eminent, who have been looking
into the thing. The conversion of
spruce timber into paper is going
ON at the rate of 1860 feet for
every working day in the year. And
most Of this timber is cut in the
United States, although few wood
pulp logs are imported from Ca
| NADIA.
During 1906 the newspaper de-
mand alone consumed 100000 tons
of manufactured white paper. This
was one-third of the output of all
| the paper mills in the country. To
make it required an army of $4,000
men who drew 100000 in wages.
| The mills used raw material
amounting to 100000 cords, repre-
senting the cut of about 100000
acres.
The present tariff on lumber
causes this enormous drain to fall
almost entirely upon the forests Of
the United States. 1t has been sug.
gested that it would be a wise poll.
teal and economic move to remove
this lumber duty, and let the paper
mills begin to eat into the almost
limitless forests OF Canada. Incl
dentally the price Of paper would
drop some, and the paper trust
would not have quite the cinch on
affairs which it has today.
Increased size of newspapers and
magazines is laid by government
experts to the introduction of the
type setting machine. In 1890
newspapers and periodicals aver
aged 81 pages each, on a basis of

oUsTED FOR KEEPING REQUEST
San Francisco Doctor Removed from
Head of College.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 21.-Presi-
dent Charles n. EllinwoOd of Cooper
Medical college has been depOsed by
the trustees, who charge that he has
retained 100000 which Mrs. Lane. the
widow of the late Dr. Lane. founder of
the college, bequeathed him. They
say that as the state institution for
bade Mrs. Lane to give more than one
third of her estate to the college, she
left the remainder to Dr. EllinwOOd
with the understanding that he would
donate the sum to the college, as well
as to Lane hospital.
DR.. EllinWOOd declares the trustees
dismissed him because he worked to
secure the union of Cooper college and
Lane hospital with Stanford universe
ty, project which DR.. Lane approved
before his death. The trustees, he says,
feared they would be eliminated if this
took place.
He denies that Mrs. Lane gave any
instructions with the money she left
him.

MAKING PLANS FOR NEW TOWN.
Southern Pacific Will Have an Army
of Men at Visitation Bay.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Feb. PA
new town will shortly spring up along
the shores of the southern end of the
bay. Where the sand dunes have
stretched for years lots have been laid
out, cottages will be built, factories
will, in all probability, belch forth
smoke, and Visitation bay will become
a hive of industry.
The fortunes of the new town will be
under the guiding hand of the South
ern Pacific company, although it will
be developed by private resources. AL
ready real estate dealers have become
interested in that part of the country.
and speculation in the town lots is rife.
One of the features of the new bay
shore cutoff planned by the Southern
Pacific, and now under construction.
will be the establishment of freight
yards at Visitation bay. All the
freight that comes into the city by
way of ogden and Shasta routes will
be handled there instead of at Oak
land. as formerly. This will make San
Francisco a great mainland city anu
will save much time and expense in
ferrying the freight cars from the Oak
land side of the bay.
AS soon as it was decided by the
Southern Pacific to locate the main
freight yards at Visitation bay, it at
once became evident that the yards
would attract a small army of en-
ployes The problem arose as to how
the men who would be employed at the
work in the yards should be housed.
The plan was suggested of building
a town along the bay shore, and was
received with favor by the officials.
When the yards are completed it Is
calculated that it will require at least
5000 men to handle the business, ana
these men will be compelled to live at
Visitation bay. The men will form
community Of their own, will have their
own government and run their own
city. Stores have been planned and
neat cottages will be laid out. A model
town will be added to the suburbs o.
San Francisco.
The work on the yards has already
started, and it is estimated that trainI
will be running over the new bridge
before year.

sWINDLE POOR SERVANT GIRL.
Fortune Tellers Steal All That Work

PITTSFIELD. Mass. Feb. PA
barefaced swindle perpetrated upon a

investigated by the police. One OF
the confidence workers was fair, fat

scope revealed in courses. The first
day she was told her age and that
she wished to marry. She was adj

had in a lock of her hair and sleep
three nights upon it.
The fourth day she was told that in

HAVE PERPETUAL RIGHT TO FLOOR

WASHINGTON, February 27.-The
recent bold stand taken by Speak
er Seaman of the West Virginia leg
islature in warning lobbyists not to
ply their business on the floor of the
house and threatening them with ex-
clusion if such practices did not cease,
has attracted tho attention Of MEM
bers of congress to one method that
might be applied to prevent them from
being subjected 10 the opportunities of
this class of citizens. The situation
in Washington. however, is different
from that in any other capital in the
country. once a man is a member of
the house. or of the senate, he is for
ever entitled to the privilege of the
floor. Thus it happens that the most
valuable lobbyists are men who have
served in one branch of congress or the
other. There are in Washington today
probably one hundred men. who are
professional lobbyists, although they
call themselves attorneys. They repre-
sent special interests, and not piece
of proposed Legislation adversely al
fecting the interests they guard can be
introduced that they are not promptly
on hand before committees and on the
floor log-rollng against the bill, utterly
regardless OF the merits of the measure
The value of the privilege of the floor
to men engaged in this business can
easily be understood. They can move
about at will gathering information
and throwing out suggestions and hints
and plying their business of lobbying
and moulding public SENTIMENT with
out being put to the inconvenience OF
holing them in corridors, as ordinary
lobbyists are required to do.
This sort of thing has come to be
almost Il disgrace. and members VINO
are not susceptible to the arguments
of these lobbyists are convinced that
the time has come when the rules
should be changed so that none but
members and members select should be
permitted to enter upon the floor when
the house is in session. Several for
mer members who served in the house
without any particular distinction have
grown rich as ''attorneys' and may be
seen almost any day at the capitol
looking after the interests of Their
clients

CleW'S Weekly Financial Review


NEW YORK, Feb. 81. Speculative

LiQuidatiOn was renewed on a quiet and
persistent scale, which encouraged de-
preston and more or less disturbed
general confidence. At the moment the
greatest element of weakness is the
continued issue of short term railroad

new securities have been authorized of
which more than 100000, 900 represent
ed short term ObligatiOns-chiehy rail-
road notes. In the majority of cases
the latter are on account of the high
rates of interest generally paid. But the
issue of these notes in such amazing
sums emphasizes unusual financial con-
ditiOnS. The requirements of the rail-
roads are urgent and must be satisfied,
while conditions in the security and
money markets are obviously unfavor-
able to the marketing of new issues.
Had it not been that very consider
able portion of the railroad notes has
been successfully placed abroad, the
market here would have suffered still
greater depression. Our bond market
is already glutted and weak. Forum

Money Outlook.
The outlook for the money market
continues perpleXinS. Local bank re-
serves ought to have risen materially
at this period; instead they continue
far below the average of previous years
at this season This is disappointing
According to the last reports of the
national banks in the United States the

resources having been long ago eX-

shall We be able to import gold in any

imports OF merchandise were valued at
$126. 900. 900. or $4,000. 900 more than a
year ago. Our January exports of
merchandise amounted to S1S9.000,0 600,
an increase of nearly $19,0O0,00O over
the same month last year. The net re-
| suit of these movements was to lave a
surplus of exports amounting to over
| S62 600 900 this year. as against an eX-
cess of $64,O00.OOO last year. This is
not an unsatisfactory result. consider

favorable to expansion of imports and
contraction of exports. A potent ele-
