NAMES TIMBER OUTPUT.
ooo,ooo,oOo Feet Last winter-Preparing
For This Yeas Cut.


The log drives Of al the Maine rivers
are now in the booms, reports the Ban
gor Daily News. The drives have been
especially clean this year, no logs being
left to winter in the streams and brooks.
This of course has been due to the high
water which has continued all through
the summer.
Ii Is roughly estimated that last win
ter's cut in Maine was about s0O000000
feet Of spruce and perhaps l00,000,000
feet Of pine, most Of the latter being in
the southwestern part Of the state,
where second growth OF pine has now
developed along the Saco in place OF
those first great pines which gave Maine
the name OF the Pine Tree state.
The lumbermen are already locating
the camps in the woods and making ac.
tive preparations for next years cut. In
the old times numbering was strictly
winter business, but In these times
practically all the cutting Is done in the
fall end this part Of the work Is ended
By Jan. |. The indications point to
large cut, though the scarcity Of labor
is serious obstacle to be overcome and
there are other faetors-the weather and
the condition of the lumber market.
Twenty thousand forest fires notices
have recently been posted in the state
of Maine, some being sent TO every town
and plantation, and those with large
wooded sections being very literally sup
Piled Doubtless the warning conveyed
by these notices has L0ea a factor, as
well as the wet summer, in making the
Maine record Of forest fires more favor
able than for many years. There were
a few fires in June in Somerset and
Washington counties, but they were not
extensive and did very little damage.
June Is usually the worst month Of the
year for these great fires which have
worked such havoc in the wild lands Of
this state. There We're no fires in July
or August, and tho woods are now so
wet and the swamps 50 full Of water /
TINT ii is very unlikely that Maine will
suffer much from forest fires this year,
even if a long dry spell should come
on.
There will be no relaxation. however,
in the vigilance Of the fire wardens.
There are 200 OF these wardens and

Or otherwise serving the commissioner
they are on the watch. Most Of them
are men employed in the woods by pri i
vate concerns or engaged in running |

These wardens posted the fire notices
N the unincorporated places. while the
notices were sent to the seleetmen Of /
the towns and the assessors Of the or

China's Great Canal.

Hollands canals are famous, but the canal system of China is far more mar vicious and it's value to the enormous empire is simply incalculable. No country in the world has more navi- gable rivers and canals than China. The network of waterways, natural and artificial, so covers the empire that almost as many people live upon the water as on the land.
 The Great Canal, the wonder of the world, runs north and south from Can- ton to the extremity of the empire, and by this route the wares of all na- tions are carried to Picking, distance of 825 miles.
 This canal is 50 feet wide; it passes through or near Al large cities; it has 75 large sluices to keep up the water, and is spanned by thousands of bridges Chicago Journal.
