Washington suffered from car short
age, and at the end the combined eff.
fects of business distu rbance anC
higher freight rates had brought the
industry almost to paralysis. Oregon
kept up it's cut because of It's larger
proportion of coaStwiSe and foreign
trade. These two statestogether pro.
duced more lumber than any other two
states in the union.
1t is striking fact that though
lumber prices have been steadily going
up during the last half century, the
per capita consumption of lumber
has also been going up. In 1850, &C
cording to the best figures obuainable,
the average consumption to each
person in the country was $50 feet, in
1900, 400 feet, and IN 1907, $50 feet.
This illustrates what has been found
true the world over-that with indus.
trial progress the demand for wood be-
comes greater and greater.

ALMOST RUN
OVER BY AUTOMOBILE

Sunday morning, while Mrs. John
Mccarthy was coming from the Catho-
lie church, attended by her little
grand daughter at the top of the hill
west of FL. Woods residence. the
child while crossing the road was al
most run over by a Buick run-a-
bout car,loperated by WARSAW man.
The prompt action in stopping the
machine was the only thing that
prevented an accident, for when the
alarm was given, instead of running
out Of the way of the automobile, the
child turned directly into it's course.
The car was travelling east on WASH
ington Avenue, in front of Fontaines
residence and turned to go down the
hill on the west side of f. j. Woods
residence. The car was going at a
high rate of speed, which was contrary
to ordinance. Operators of automobiles
should be very careful in running their
cars at high rate of speed within the
city limits and thereby averting acct
dents.

GOOD ROADS OR BAD ROADS
Opinion of a Prominent Candi-
dale on the Good Roads
Amendment,

If the notices now being published
for the election in November you will
find along at the last the statement
that you will be called on to vote
whether or not you want the state
to use part of its fund in helping the
farmer to build good roads.
At present the farmer pays the
whole cost, and yet it is stated by
local business men, by railroad presi-
dents and others that will be finan-
cially benefited by better roads as
well as the farmer. 1t seems to rs
that not many well informed farmers
Will vote against this amendment,
but will take pains to vote for it
themselves and get their neighbors to
vote for it also.
This paper has in former issues pub
lished the opinion of prominent citi-
zens on this amendment and takes
pleasure in giving this letter written
to the Secy. of the State Good Roads
Ass. by Mr.. S. A. Cook OF Neenah
Mr.. W. G. Hotchkiss,
Madison, Wis,
My Dear Sir
The matter of secur-
ing state aid for good roads in WiScon-
sin is of vital Importance to the
people. 1t is so manifestly fair and
proper that no objection whatever
should be raised against it. Good
roads are necessary in carrying on
| commerce of the country, and with
the growth of rural mail delivery the
necessity becomes more apparent.
Anything which tend to bring the
farming communities into closer
touch and better relations with the
cities and villages should be en-
couraged. Good roads are an impor-
tant factor in doing this. With state
aid for good roads the financial burden
will be lifted from the farming CON-
muntieS, and at the same time the
cities and villages will not feel the
burden. Both will be greatly bene-
flied. | am heartily in favor of the
amendment now before the people.
Very truly yours,
S. A. Cook.
