The Wanlna Hardweod suppIy.

Although the demand for hardwood
lumber Is greater than ever before, the
annual cut today is billion feet less
than 1t was seven years ago. In this
time the wholesale price of the differ
emit classes of hardwood lumber adj
vanced from % to IS per cent. The cut
Of oak, which in 1899 was more than
half the total cut of hardwoods, has fall
len of 36 per cent. Yellow poplar,
which was formerly second in point of
output, has fallen off 80 per cent, and
elm has fallen off one-half.
The cut of softwoods is over four
times that of hardwoods, yet 1t Is doubt
full II shortage in the former would
cause dismay in so many industries
The cocperage, furniture, and vehicle
industries depend upon hardwood tim
Der, and the railroads, telephone and
telegraph companies, agricultural inn
plement manufacturers, and builders
use II extensively.
This leads to the question, Where is
the future supply of hardwoods to be
found The cut in Ohio and Indiana,
which, seven years ago, led all other
States, has fallen off 0ne-half. Illinois,
Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota,
Missouri, New Jersey, Tennessee, Tex
as, West Virginia, and Wisconsin have
also declinedf in hardwood production.
The chief centers of production now
lie In the Lake States, the lower Mis-
sissippi Valley. and the Appalachian
Mountains. Yet in the Lake States
the'preeence Of hardwoOds is an almost
certain indication of rich agricultural
land, and when the hardwOOds are cut
the land 10 turned permanently to agri-
cultural use. In Arkansas, Louisiana,
and Mississippi the production of hard
woods is clearly at its. extreme height,
and in Missouri and Texas it has already
begun TO decline,
The answer to the question. there
fore, would seem to lie in the Apala-
chain Mountains. They contain the
largest body of hardwood timber left
IL the United States. On them grow
the greatest variety of tree species
anywhere to be found. Protected from
FIRE and reckless cutting, they produce
the best kinds of timber, since their
soil and climate combine to make heavy
stands and rapid growth. Yet much of
the Appalachian forest has been so dam
aged in the past that 1t will be years
before 1t viii again reach high state
Of prOductiveness. Twenty billion feet
Of hardwoods would be a conservative
estimate of the annual productive ca
pacity Of the 74,000,000 acres of forest
lands in the Apalachains If they were
rightly managed. Until they are we
can expect shortage in hardwood tim

Republicans an CIeUeLand Predict
Defeat of Tom L. Johnson.
[By Telegraph to The Tribune. J


Cleveland Nov 2.-Representative Theodore
z. Burton. it was confidently predicted by Re
publicans tonight, will be elected Mayor next
Tuesday by majority Of at least 5000. The
Democrats ridicule this prophecy and insist that
Tom L. Johnson is to be given a fourth
term, but his early cry that he would have
10000 majority is laughed at now even by the
most intense Of his partisans.
Mr.. Burton himself refuses to make any pre-
diction for publication. At the same time he has
told his intimates that his election is certain
and these intimates recall that never in his long
public career has he gone wrong in forecastng
the result of election in which he himself
involved. He predicted his own defeat
privately when Mayor johnson beat him
for Congress- His confidence is reflected
by the confidence of his supporters.
Mayor Johnson put forth tonight his final ap-
peal to the voters. Under the heading our
Seventeen Warfare Against Monopoly and
Privilege he told of his fight for a three-cent
fare the improvements In the city during his
three terms and what his Board of Public Ser
vice has done He concluded with this perora-
ton:
I'VE hope to set this city OF hill. TO
make an example of it in city building. to
establish a community OF citizens Independent

SMITH TO GOVERNORS.
L. 6 N. Head Says Much Injury
Has Been Done By Rates.

Birmingham. Ala. Nov 2-President Milton
H. Smith of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad.
who was in Birmingham to-day issued a spir-
tied statement in answer 10 that sent out by
Governors Conner Smith and Glenn after their
conference in Atlanta yesterday Replying 10
the sentence mo injury has been done to any
corporation in any of our states by the exercise
Of the power of regulation President Smith
says
The foregoing affirmation is not sustained by
the facts known to every one. The powers of
regulation as exercised in Alabama, Georgia.
North Carolina and some other states have in
hcted incalculable injury upon the railway cor
porations and allied interests. and in that way
unfavorably affected the interests of the citi-
zens. Regulation when confined to the inhibition
of rebates, unjust determinations and other
manifest evils, and to the requirement of pub
lcity of rates and other usages essential to the
maintenance of order and justice, is commend
able; but when exercised as is being done in
Alabama Georgia and some other states. to
supervise and control physical conditions. opera
tions, finance and movement of traffic and arbi-
trary fix the remuneration for service rendered
is disastrous. and the exercise or attempted
exercise of these powers by states and the ma
tional government is largely if not altogether.
responsible for the destruction Of the credit of
railway companies and consequent injury to the
credit of industrial corporations. A denial by
parties responsible for such conditions will not
deceive.
1.-The attempt of the governors to place the re-
sponsibility for destruction of confidence upon
the representatives of the railway companies is
pitiful and the error of the statement is ap-

PERILOUS CANOE TRIP.
Hugh ". MathesOn Crosses the
Sound from Stamford IN Gale.

Hugh NJ. Matheson. the Yale undergraduate
VINO left Stamford in heavy gale yesterday
AFTERNOON to cross Long Island Sound in 10
root canoe to the country home of his father.
at Lioyd's Neck. Long Island. arrived there
shortly after o'clock last night. He
exhausted by his trip. the latter part OF which
was made in murky darkness. with nothing to
guide him but the various Sound markings,
with which he was fortunately familiar.
1t has been Matheson's custom since the open
ing of college to spend the week-ends with his
family at Lloyd's Neck. and he has been in the
habit of crossing the Sound from Stamford in
his speedy gasolene launch. On his trip from
Lloyd's Neck last Saturday the launch was
disabled and laid up at Stamford for re-
pairs. Matheson went from New London
Stamford yesterday afternoon, expecting that
his boat would be ready, and was much disap-
pointed to find that she still the dry
dock
The only other way to get home would have
been by way of this city by rail. This.
count of the length of time it would require. the
young unwilling to undertake, he
obtained a canoe at the Corinthian Yacht Club
and announced his intention of padding across
the Sound Several members tried to dissuade
him. as the Sound was covered with whitecaps
and rapidly becoming rougher. Adolf Obman.
steward of the club. joined in the effort to
change Mathesons purpose. but Natheson
laughed at the stewards fears. and, entering the
canoe. padded out of the harbor.
The members of the club watched the fraiI
craft with marine glasses until it was swallowed
up in the distance
1T was nasty out the Sound said Obman
last night, "and I am very much afraid that Mr..
Matheson will not reach the other side alive. If
he does he is a lucky man"
In spite of the fears of the steward Matheson
managed to reach the Long Island shore shortly
after o'clock last night. after having battled
with the waves for seven hours He thought
several times that he would not be able to reach
the shore, and was the point of giving up
when he spied the shore light and renewed his
efforts
His family was worried when he failed to ap-
pear at nightfall. knowing his custom OF cross
ing the Sound every Saturday afternon, but con-
cuded, in view of the gale then raging. that he
had gone to New York and would be down on
Of the late trains. Several parties were
being organized at Stamford to go in search of
the young man when word was received that
he had reached his home safely.
Boatmen familiar with the Sound We're much
surprised last night 10 hear of Mr.. Matheson's
experienced man with canoe would never have
reached shore.
Another young man who said his name was
Roosevelt. left Stamford later than NIatheson
yesterday afternoon to paddle across the Sound.
and nothing had been heard from him up to q
late hour last night.

TO close came from headquarters at New York.
The action of the American Tobacco company
