MEXICAN CARRIERS.

Tho cargadors Can Carry Enormous
Loads on Their Shoulders.
Just as one finds the rickshaw every
where in India, so one finds the carga-
dor in Mexico. He is beast Of bur-
den. In general he is a comparatively
small man, with broad shoulders and
stout arms and legs. To look at him
one would not think he would be able
to carry heavy burdens. But the
weight he can. carry is surprising. You
have trunk you can scarcely move.
for instance. You send for a cargador.
He gets. it upon his back, high up on
the shoulders. and he marches OF with
it as easily as though it were a play
thing. A life dedicated to carrying
heavy burdens has made this work
easy for him. A slightly built Mexican
will carry over 500 pounds on his
shoulders for short distances.
Until recent years almost everything
in the City Of Mexico and everywhere
else throughout the republic was car
ried upon the backs of cargadors. If
you wanted to move your household
furniture you hired a certain number
of cargadors. For house moving they
generally work in pairs, each pair hav-
ing hand truck, which they pick up
and carry when it is loaded, for 1t has
no wheels. In the City Of Mexico there
are still hundreds of these hand trucks,
though one may now find plenty Of
carts, wagons and heavy moving
trucks.-Mexican Herald.

Greatest Lumber Cut.

More lumber was cut ia the United
States last year than in any other year in
its history. The enormous amount of
37,SSo,7 board feet was produced, and
the mill value of this was $62I, ISL. 388
In addition, there were produced 1885,
400, 900 shingles. valued at $24, 1855,
and 3.8I2, 1907, 600 lath, valued at ST.
.4oo,57o. On the whole, it is safe to say
that the present annual lumber cut of the
United States approximates 40 billion
feet, aud that the total mill value Of the
lumber, lath, and shingles each year
produced is not less than $500, 900, 900.
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 oil lumber pro-
duced shows very clearly the passing OF
white pine and oak. one the greatest
softwood and the other the greatest hard.
wood 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 SO per
cent. To-day yellow pine leads all other
woods in amount cut, while Douglas fir
and this will be surprise to many-comes
second. Since 1899 the cut of Douglas
fir has increased 1856 per cent. Louisiana
is the foremost yellow pine State, with
Texas, Mississippi. and Arkansas follow
ing in order. Washington produces by
far the greatest amount of Douglas fir.
A comparison OF the lumber-producing
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 the others. is now third.
In the same period Oregon. Louisiana,
Mississippi. Idaho, and California made
great strides as lumber producing States,
though, on the other hand, the amount
produced in Michigan, Wisconsin, Min.
nescta, Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee,
Missouri, Indiana, and Ohio fell off any.

The highest-priced native woods are

fact. however, that since 1889 the average
Increase ir the price of lumber has been
