! S6S S91. including gold certificates and
United States Treasury notes, which are
| Offset by an equal amount OF cash in the
| Treasury.
While Mr.. MacLennan does not actually

Every dollar that is disbursed BY the gov

Mr.. MacLennan has a marvellous mind

Of the Treasury has depended on him TO

ALPS INDUSTRIAL VALUE.
Electric Light n Fenture of Small
swiss Village.

That the Alps have an industrial side is
fact quite commonly overlooked by the
tourist, although he is often surprised to
see small Swiss villages furnished with
the electric light Il would be difficult
to overestimate the good that this abun-
dant and cheap illuminant has brought to
the lonely Swiss villages. especially in
those where electricity is utilized in many
other ways.
As il is. the group OF mountains known
as the Alps benefit also France, Italy,
and Austria; and Of late the scientific
leaders Of thought on the continent of
Europe have given much thought to the
whole question of how thess mountain
regions can be utilized industrially to a
more complete extent.
1t has been estimated that the French
Alps alone produce, each year, force
equal TO that of S.c00.0o9 horsepower: that
is. were the same force to be created
with the help OF ordinary steam engines.
100000 tons OF coal would have 10 be
consumed OF course, The water power
OF the mountains Is not harnessvd fer
nothing. but the expense is incredibly
less than that Of creating the power. as
It were, out Of nothing.
Italy alone. among the nations OF
Europe. has so far attempted to utilize
her natural resources with. q view Of
driving local railways. There is now an
electric railway line from Bologna 10
San Feiice- some thirty-five miles in
length. and yet another. close TO Lake
Como. is close on 100 miles in length.

SOME LUMBER FIGURES.
Immense Cut in the United States
Every Year.

Every Year.
More lumber was cut in the United
States last year than in any other year
in its history.
The enormous amount of g. $50 1856 board
feet was produced. and the mill value of
this was Se2l, ,l5l.SSS In addition. there
were produced L. .S5S. coo shingles, valued
at S94,l55,555, and sSl2. s07OoO laths. valued
at S11.4s0.57o
On the whole. il is said that the present
annual lumber cut of the United States
approXimates 10000. .000.CC0 feet. and that
the total mill value Of the lumber. laths.
and shingles each year produced is not
less than eo.000000. These figures give
some idea OF how vast is the lumber in
dustry and how great is the demand for
its products.
A glance at the kinds OF lumber pro-
duced shows very clearly the passing OF
white pine and oak, one the greatest
soft wood and the other the greatest
hard wood which the forest has ever
grown. Since 1899 the cut OF white pine
has Tallen OF more than 20 per cent.
While that OF white oak has fallen of
more than S6 per cent
To-day yellow pine leads all other
woods in amount cut, while Douglas fir
and this viii be a surprise 70 many
comes second. Since 1893 tie cut Of
Douglas fr has increased 1S6 per cent
Louisiana is the foremost yellow pine
state, with Texas. Mississippi, and Ar
kansas following in order. Washington
produces by far the greatest amount Of
Douglas FIR.

THIRTY-NINE TO MAKE A COAT.
Each Tailor Has n Distinct Line OF
Work Nowadays.

Work Nowadays.
The United States Bureau OF Labor has
put the old adage that lit takes nine tai
lors to make man" out of business The
bureau points out that for the simple
making OF coat thirty-nine men of diff
ferent trades must contribute their labor.
One tailor works where buttons are to
be sewed on. Another works buttonholes.
A third man spends the long day in sew
ing on buttons. A fourth in making but
tonholes. Men who sew sleeves do not
make armholes; the armhole men are
not shoulder shapers, and these last do
not touch collars.
Even the men who manipulate the tall
or's goose are divided into pressers of
seams. edges. Innings. sleeves, and coat
pressers. The basters stick to one dis
tinct speciality of basting. and a separate
functionary, the basting pulIler. undoes
their work. Even the coat strap is a
separate province SO when the coat is
finished it represents thirty-nine mems
work.

To Rural Route Patrons.

Postmaster Glass desires to call
attention to the practice of some
patrons of rural delivery of placing
loose coins in their boxes each time
they desire to dispatch letters in
stead of supplying themselves with
postage in advance of their needs.
This practice imposes undue hard
ship on rural carriers in removing
loose coins from boxes and delays
them on the service of their routes.
The postmaster, therefore, urgent
ly requests that patrons of rural
delivery provide themselves and
keep on hand a supply of stamps
consistent with and in advance of
their needs. 1t is also very dekir-
able that rural patrons place in their
mail boxes detachable cups of wood
or tin in which to place coins, when
necessary, in purchasing supplies of
stamps.
The best plan is to buy stamped
envelopes, which are printed with
the route number, and have
place for the patrons name and
box number. This insures a letters
return if not delivered. All the car
riers are supplied with these envel-
opes and will be glad to supply
patrons.
