years was used in connection with
spruce to the exclusion of all other
paper woods, has increased in tot
al quantity less than 100000 cords
and is now outranked by hemlock.
Pine, balsam and cottonwood are
used in much smaller amounts.
New York alone consumes each
year over a million and a quarter
cords of wood in the manufacture
of pulp, or more than twice as
much as Maine, which ranks next.
Wisconsin, New Hampshire, Penn
sylvania and Michigan follow in
order given. Sixty per cent of
the wood used in New York was
imported from elsewhere, and even
SO the supply seems to be waning.
since the total consumption for
the state shows a small decrease
since 1905, whereas the other
states named have all increased
their consumption. Other states
important in the production OF
pulp are: Massachusetts, Mime
sofa, Ohio, Oregon, Vermont, Vir-
GINA, and West Virginia.
The average cost of pulp deliv-
cred at the mill was S72l. The
total value of the wood consumed
in 1906 was $26,40O,00O. The
chief item determining the price OF
paper is the cost of pulp. An ex-
ample of the increased cost OF
paper is found in the case of a
publisher of a daily paper in the
middle west, who recently paid
$1,000 for a carload of paper. The
same quantity and grade OF paper
cost a year ago but $500.

Zeppelin a Civil War Veteran.

New York, Aug. CIT is not gen.
orally known that Count Zeppelin,
whose mammoth airship is breaking
all flying records in Germany, is a
veteran of the Grand Army of the Re-
public. He served through the Amer
lean Civil war as cavalry officer in
the Army Of the Mississippi in the
brigade commanded by General Carl
SchurZ. At the battle of Fredertcks-
burg the young German cavalryman
owed his escape from capture. to a
brilliant feat of horsemanship which
carried him through the line of bay
onets with which he had been encir-
cled.

A Newport Church is in a Bad
Way Financially
BARTON BANK IS URGENT
New Stone Church and House Erected
by Fr. clermont Has a Big Debt
Many Poor People Of Parish
May Be Hard Hit.

Newport, Sept. o-It is understood
that the Barton Savings bank has fore
closed its first mortgage on the new
Catholic church and stone house erected
by Rev. A. p. Clermont in this village
and the reported action has caused a
great deal OF excitement among the par.
ish members and other creditors OF Fa-
ther Cermont. The bank holds a mort.
gage Tor $4,000 and some interest, and
there is about $1,000 in second mortgages
on the church and house and about $780,
600 in unsecured debts, held largely by
members OF the parish and business men
of Newport. A considerable portion Of
the debt is held by people who will be
very much embarrassed if it is not paid.
Fir. Clermont. who built the church,
has spent three years trying TO get the
bishops consent that il be opened for
services. he refuses to speak for publi-
cation, but inquiry discloses the follow
ing facts: The unpaid debt on the church
and house il between $4,000 and $50.
900. Some time late in 1907, the bisn-
ops attorney advised FIR. Clermont that
ii he could reduce the debt at about $780,
OO0 the matter OF opening the church
would be considered. The committee OF
the church, including Fir. Clermont, Sc.
cured pledges to a little over $4,000 on
condition that the church be opened for
services, and the proposition was made
by the Sisters of the Sacred Heart TO
purchase the old church and house for
$4,000. This would leave debt OF be-
tween s3S,O00 and $4,000 and some in
terest. A friend offered TO donate $4,000
If it could be arranged satisfactory to
the bishop and the church be opened.
The proposition made looking toward
a settlement was refused, but the diocese
voted to offer $4,000 for all the prop
erty that Fr. Clermont owns, with the
condition that he resign. II the bishop
and diocese make no further move and
the foreclosure becomes absolute, the
unsecured creditors TO the amount oi
$4,000 will have an absolute loss. A
large amount OF the debt is held by mem
bers of the parish some of whom put up
practically all they had, expecting that
when the church was opened they would
get their money back.
Some OF the members claim that the
last time the bishop was here he told a
few that he gave Fr Clermont authority
to build the church and asked the people
to assist to the extent of their ability
Many of the business men creditors i'll
sist that the bishop and diocese are liza
bic and rather than lose all they will
test the matter in court.
