POTTS CREEK IRON FIELD.

The Manufacturers Record says:
1.-The contract has been let for the ex-
tension of the Big Stony railroad into
the Potts Greek iron field. This road
leaves the N u W. at the mouth of
Big Stony creek in Virginia. a short
distance from the West Virginia line.
The extension contracted for will be %
miles in length. The contract pro.
vides for the completion of the line in
six months. and it will probably be
done in that time, as most of it is easy
work. This will take the road into the
heart of this big field of ore, which is
said to be fine hematite and of such
an extent that it is calculated that
400, 900 600 tons of ore can be taken
out. The ore is 81 per cent. average
grade, while that of Lake Superior
ranges from As to IS per cent. The ex
ploitation of this ore means much for
that section, as furnaces for it's reduc-
tlon will undoubtedly be built where
the ore and coal can be brought to
gether most economically. The old
furnace of the Virginia Coal and Iron
Company, two miles west of Bluefield,
in its sister city. Graham, is to be re-
for blowing in about the
time of the first shipments of ore, and
the making of iron will, it is claimed.
be followed by the construction of
steelrail mills and other plants for
turning raw pig into merchantable
stuff. New machinery has already
been brought In for the old furnace,
and the work of reha utilization will be
begun shortly,
The z. & o. Ry. is also building
into the Potts Creek field from the
other side, it's extension leaving the
main line at CovingtOn. These ore
deposits are in Allegheny county, Va,
and Monroe county, W. Va"

The Cowboy Bishop.

Once, while still bishop of Wyoming
and Idaho, Bishop Talbot went to st.
Paul to attend meeting of dignitaries
of the church. There, one noon, on
the porch of the hotel tramp ap.
preached a group of bishops and ask
ed for aid.
mo, one of the churchmen replied.
II don't think we can do anything
But down there is the youngest bishop
of us all" (pointing to Bishop Talbot);
and he's very generous man"
The tramp went to Bishop Talbot,
and the others watched with interest.
They saw look of surprise come over
the tramps face-they saw that the
bishop was talking eagerly, earnestly
they saw the tramp look perturbed-
but they finally saw that something
passed from hand to hand.
The tramp tried to get away without
speaking to those of the group. but the
former spokesman called to him.
"Well, did you get something from
our young brother ?"
The tramp grinned sheepishly. No

more suffering than anys other organ

FARMERS UNPROTECTED.
COTTON AND WHEAT PRICES REG

LATED BY PRODUCTION.
1t is perhaps not generally known
that there was imported into the U nj
ted States during the fiscal year 1906
, 70,S79, 179 pounds of cotton of the value
of $10,S78 493, which makes the price
Is $40 cents pound in the country
from which imported. 1t is estimated
that there will be imported from Egypt
alone this year about 115, 900 bales of
cotton which it will cost about $10.-
1000 as the Egyptian cotton being
long staple of the sea island variety,
it sells for a much higher price than
our upland cotton. This imported cot
! ton only completes with our sea- island
product and as there is not sufficient
of that quality raised here to supply
the demand, it is probable that the
price of the home product is not re
duced by those imports.
As there is no tariff on cotton the
Southern planter is not protected from
competition. but as he is now receiving
a fair price for bis product, with a ris
ing market, he is making money.
The Republican theory of protecting
the wheat farmer with tariff tax of
rs cents bushel Is shown, by the low
price of wheat during the past year, to
be useless, because no product can be
protected from competition, by placing |
a tariff tax on it, of which there is a |
surplus that must be sold abroad. Our
surplus of both cotton and wLeat must |
be sold in the markets of the world in
with the surplus of other
countries and the demand in those
markets regulates the price of the
whole crop wherever grown and wher
ever sold.
The tariff tax on wheat was not in.
cluded in the Dingley law to protect
the wheat farmer, but as a deceptive
suare to lure him to continue to vote
the Republican ticket and the Repub-
Iican leaders who enacted tariff on
wheat knew they were trying to de
ceive the wheat farmer when they put
it into the law. They would have
likewise placed a tariff tax on cotton
to try and deceive the cotton grower, but
as these We're all Democrats such a
tariff tax would have been politically
useless.
The growing political independence
Of the farmers of the wheat growing
states has been brought about by their
discovery that protection does not
protect the farme", but does impose a
heavy tax on him by the high prices
hat the tariff protected trusts charge :
'or what he buys. Those Intelligent ,
armers who have always supported ,
Democratic policies know this and now
heir Republican neighbors are also 6

IN VIRGINIA SINCE 1880.

Sixteen billion. one hundred ant
seventy-six million feet of lumber has
been cut in Virginia since 1880. This
does not include the amount cut last
year, nor the amount cut in the foul
months of the present year.
The amount cut in Tennessee In the
period indicated was Is, ZOO, ,S58, 900
feet.
The total cut of North Carolina in
the period from 1880 to 1906 was 20, 4S6 ).
900, 900 feet.
The total cut of the United States
from 1880 to 1905 was 706, ,7l2, 900 900
feet. 1t is estimated that this amount
of lumber would make floor one inch
| thick over the States of Rhode Island,
Vermont, Massachusetts,, Connecticut
and Delaware. an area of q, 900 square
miles.
Since 1880 Michigan, the great tim

How long will the timber supply of
the United States last is question
frequently asked. 1t is not answered
by the experts of the Forestry Service
of the Department of Agriculture. The
days of white pine are rapidly pass
Ing, they say. and in very few years
1t will cease to be large factor in the

The present annual cut is about 81

bined.
The estimated amount of yellow pine
standing in 1903 was 165 ,000250 900
feet. The estimated annual cut is 12,-
900, 900, 900 feet. At this rate the yell
low pine will have disappeared in
about dozen or so years.
Previous estimates of the Forestry
Service fix the limit of the life of our
lumber industry at from twenty to
years. provided steps are
not taken to prevent the cutting of
the forests.
The remaining forest areas of the
various States total 700, ,469, 760 acres.

GOULDS TO CHATTANOOGA.

According to press report from
Chattanooga, Tenn, the recent visit
of l. s. Thorne, ylce-president and
general manager of the Texas s. Paci
fic Railway, has aroused considerable
interest there. While it was stated
that his visit had no particular sign1-
fcance, it has been surmised that 1t
had something to do with the future
of the Chattanooga Southern Railway,
for which receivers were lately ap-
pointed. The Texas & Pacific is one
of the Gould lines, and it has been sug
gested that either it or the Missouri
Pacific (also of the Gould system)
might extend into the Chattanooga
section either by securing some exist
ing railroad or by building a new line.
