 will give a great impetus to the enterprise. The track going up to the Yaqui river is now at Cuma- ripa, and it is hoped that it will be completed in the prese t year. The road will follow up the river, on the east side of the concession all the way to Soyopa. From the line of the railway all the principal points within the concession can be reached readily, and the cheap transportation assured will facili- tate greatly the work that is to be undertaken in the exploitation and development of its rights and powers under the terms of the con- cession.
 The great reduction plant of La Compafiia Metalurgica y Refina- dora del Pacifco, at Fundicion, will supply a market for ores from all this great region.
 That this great concession Is in the hands of the right kind of people goes without saying, as will be made manifest by reading the following list of directors and officers: Melbert B. Cary, Ridge field, Conn; Robert B. Armstrong, Philadelphia; Ronald E. Curtis, New York; Theodore Douglas. Fun dicion, Mex; Douglas H. Gordon, Baltimore; Gustave M.

New Illinois
Primary Law.

The republican party of Illinois
has kept faith with the people of the
state by passing a general primary
law which directly places in their
hands the power to nominate officials
without intervening delegate con-
ventions, the method employed here
tofore. Beyond question a large me-
jority OF the citizens of Illinois de-
sired law of this kind, and an ad-
ministration largely republican in all
branches has brought it about. The
people OF the state hereafter Will
select tickets by their own ballots.
Charges that bosses run the conven. .
tions will be heard no more, becanse
conventions, except for national dele
gates and university board, are a
thing OF the past. Local, state and
congressional candidates will be nom.
mated by pluralIties when the ballots
of the people are counted, and a
choice will be expressed in the same
wy AZ iObniu " ~ OhlLou IoldJeS SeDd-
tors.
Whether the new system will work
to the perfection expected need not
be discussed here. rhe people want
ed it, the republican majority obeyed
the popular demand, and the state
primary procedure Is to be establish
ed The tact should not be forgotten
that the record of conventions in
Illinois is, on the whole, entitled to
respect. The abuses have been few
compared with the benefits, and the
general standard has been high. But
the people believe that it can be
bettered by more direct concentra-
tlon of political action ln their own
bands, and probably they are right.
But eternal vigilance is as needful
now as ever. Senator jeff Davis of
Arkansas was nominated at state
primary. Beckham Of Kentucky jug
gled nomination forlthe senate in a
state primary, but a revolt in his
party has brought him to a halt. A
state primary is no sovereign cure in
itself. 1t adds to the responsibilities
of the individual voter, and be will
rue it unless he gives a closer atten-
tlon than ever to political duties. -

"The men who wrote history on tab

an account of the death of Napoleon
Bonaparte. 1t was printed in 1921,

The other paper was kept because its
leading article described the surrender

One on the Teacher.

Among the corps of instructors in
one of Washington's high schools is a
woman highly esteemed as a teacher
of American history The class under
her care had under consideration one
day topics concerning the civil war
when one volunteered, in illustration
of some point, lurid account of bat.
tie in which, he claimed, an uncle of
his had participated.
The teacher intefposed to observe
that the anecdote could hardly be cor
rect, as the uncle in question was near
her own age and she was not born un.
til after the close of the war.
At this the boy seemed a trifle cha.
grined at being so evidently in the
wrong. After a few moments Of en-
barrassed silence he said, with the
naive air of one who has much the best
of the situation:
"Oh, but, Miss Blank, 1 did not
mean the Revolutionary warr'-Pitts-
burg Leader.

Greatest Lumber Cut.

More lumber was cut in the United
States last year than in any other
year in its history. The enormous
amount of 81, $50, 136, OO0board feet was
produced and the mill value of this
was S62l, l5l, 1888. In addition, there
were produced II, s5s, 260, 900 shingles,
valued at s24, 155, 555, and 1872, ,SO7, 900
lath, valued at s11, 40, $40. On the
whole, IT. is safe TO say that the pre-
sent annual lumber cut of the United
States approxlmates Az billion feet,
and that the total mill value of the
lumber, lath, and shingles each year
produced is not less than 500, 900, 600.
These figures give some idea of how
vast is the lumber industry and how
great is the demand for its products.
A glance at the kinds of lum Der
produced shows very clearly the pass
ing of white pine and oak, one the
greatest softwood and the other the
greatest hardwood which the forest
has ever grown. Since 1899 the cut
of white pine has fallen off more
than 40 per cent, while that of white
oak has fallen off more than 36 per
cent. To-day yellow pine leads all
other woods in amount cut, while
Douglas fir-and this will be sur.
prise to many-comes second. Since
1899 the cut of Douglas fir has in
creased 1856 per cent. Louisiana is
the foremost yellow pine state, with
Iexas, Mississippi and Arkansas
following in order. Washington pro-
duces by far the greatest amount of
Douglas fir.
A comparison of the lumber pro-
ducing states shows that since 1899
there have been many changes in
their relative rank. Washington,
which in 1899 stood sixth, now leads,
while Wisconsin, which eight years
ago led all others, is now third. In
the same period Oregon, Louisiana,
Mississippi, Idaho and California
"uuO u touO obLluoS d5
ing states, though on the other hand,
the amount produced in Michigan.
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Georgia, Ken
tucky, Tennessee, Missouri, Indiana,
and Ohio fell off anywhere from % to
81 per cent.
The highest priced native woods are
walnut, hickory and ash, and the
cheapest are larch and white fir.
From the fact, however, that since
1899 the average increase in the price
of lumber has been 49 per cent, 1t
will not be long before cheap woods
are few and far between.
Figures upon the lumber cut of the
United States In 1906 are contained
in Circular l22 of the forest service,
which can be had upon application to
the forester, U. S. department of
agriculture, Washington, d. &.

Power of Habit.

The power of habit was strikingly
illustrated not long ago in a shirt
waist factory. One woman who had
done nothing but sew up the seams of
sleeves for four years was taken off
that particular job and was asked to
run up seams in the body of the
waists. She complained that the
change made her so nervous that she
could not work.
"But what is the difference" asked
the foreman. "There is nothing but a
straight seam here, just the same as
you have been used to-"
II know" replied the woman with
true feminine logic. "but it isn't
sleeves"
And it did indeed prove to be a fact
that owing to her four years of steady
work on sleeves it took her fully that
many weeks to overcome her nervous
ness sufficiently to run the machine at
her accustomed speed when sewing an
other part of the waist.-EXchange
