ufacturers, with headquarters at Chi
cago. has forwarded to the department
of agriculture and the director of the
census a resolution recently passed
which urges the Importance Of making
an accurate determination of the kind
and quantity of standing timber in
this country. With this end in view
the association will request congress to
authorize the bureau of the census and
the forest service to incorporate this
work in the census of 1910.
A circular containing the resolution
and statement Of facts on the timber
situation has just been sent out broad
cast by the associati ton to it's members
and commercial organizations through
out the United States. The manu-
facturers empha size the point that it
is necessary to know how much stand
ing timber there is in the country and
now long it will last at the present rate
of cutting. These questions are not
only of much importance to all wood
manufacturers. the circular says but
they also suggest problems 3 of much in
terest to every person who reads a
book or newspaper, every reason who
uses lumber in any form. and all who
shin packa ges and receive them. The
estimates of the standing timber in this

census of 1850 and 1900 and they are
not considered sufficient by either for
esters or lumbermen
rs 1T not time something was done?"
say the manufacturers in their request
for an accurate determination of the
amount of standing timber. Like all
good business men, should we not
know first where We stand? Let us
stop guessing and estimating and know
the exact amount of standing forest
timber in this country. The time to do
this is in 1910. when the next official
census is taken. It is an immense
niece Of work. but perfectly practical.
The machinery for it already exists in
the bureau of the census and in the
forest service. To authorize these bu-
reeus to do the work is all that is
necessary.
1.-THE census of 1880 contained an es-
innate of the timber stumpage of the
United States at eight hundred fifty

one hundred thousand feet. Since 1880
the actual cut of timber. as shown by
available statistics has been over
seven billion feet At that rate the/en-
tire timber supply of the Uni'ed
States. which is being cut at the rate
Of more than "a billion feet per year,
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1907-05-15

will be exhausted in five years! This
we know is impossible.
"The census of 1900 gave an estimate
of the stumpage then standing az one
trillion, three hundred ninety billion
feet. Other estimates have also been
made showing the standing timber at
the present time to be about two tril-
lion feet. All of them are guess work.
1t is we'll known that there has been
an advance in the price of lumber Of
about 100 per cent in the last eight
years. and this advance is based on
the increased scarcity of lumber, and
the increased cost of carrying it to the
central markets, because the standing
supply is now so far therefrom.
Our greatest source of supply is
now on the Pacific coast: An estimate
of this supply made this year shows
that there is seven hundred billion. six
hundred fifty-eight million, eighty
thousand feet. If the annual lumber
cut of the United States should be
taken from this supply exclusively. it
would be depleted in twenty years, at
the present rate Of cutting. The ma
tiOnal bureau Of statistics says: 'Prac-
tically the whole world, is asking for
American wood and it's products The
forest service declares that the timber
Of the United States is being cut three
times as fast rs is growing"

THREW BEER To
THE C0Nv|CTS
Two uverymen are Captured
On Serious Charge

What was either a plot to aid con-
victs at the penitentiary to escape. or
the foolhardiness of two men. was
frustrated this morning by officials of
two buggy washers giving their names
as Grant and Patterson We're arrested
and lodged in the county Jail.
The men who are employed at local
livery stables, took a buggy and team
and went to the penitentiary this
morning. They were provided with a
goodly supply of beer as we'll as money.
After driving through the prison
gates the men drove onto the lawn and
up TO the walls where bottle of beer
and some coin were tossed to the priS-
Oners who were in the enclosure.
Instead of the prison officials arrest
ing them at the penitentiary, Captain
Smith followed them to the city where
thew were placed under arrest by the
police.
The local authorities are at a loss to
know what object the men could have
in doing what they did.
According to the authorities the
deed which they committed is a peni-
tertiary Offense and they may serve
time for it.
AS the offense was committed outside
of the city limits, Prosecuting Attor-
ney Rupp will take the matter up.
1t was supposed Grant and Patter-
son were ex-cOnvicts, but Ben Gill
liam, formerly of the penitentiary, says
they are not.
