When the President started West. he

It appears. however. that the prin-

district are unanimous in their ap-

would be a serious blow to the lumber

serves at their hands. The tariff ques-

The Timber Supply

A correspondent of the Gulfport

tons regarding the timber supply in
South Mississippi. The Daily News
reproduces portion of it below:

ture, have often Derasked, What
are they going to do when al, the tim
Der has been cut? | answer this
query by the statement that the gov.
ernmental statistics for 1900 show
that Mississippi contained about sew
enty-five billion feet of standing timber
of all kinds. The statistics of the
Gulfport Business League show that
In the last six years there has been
shipped from Gulfport only one bill
Hon ninety-six million feet of lumber,
yet the miAs were working the most
accessible timber, so you can readily
see that there will be enough to run
for few years longer than any of us
now on the grounds. Give Gulfport
one-third OF the. supply. to say moth
ing Of the continual growth of the
timber, and we can run on it for about
one hundred and fifty years.
There were saw mills on Wolf
River a hundred years ago, and / eau
point out the sites of twelve or four
teen mills, yet they are getting more
timber than ever before. Make your
