Ouarter.M Million Fire at Berlin.

Berlin, N. a., suffered fire Tuesday
night which destroyed eight buildings
in the business section, causing prop
erty loss of something like $3.50, 900, and
turning a number of families into the
street. In the midst of fighting the
first fire, a second one broke out, and a
serious confiagration was threatened.
The steam fire engine broke down
early In the progress of the fire, and the
hydrant streams were utterly made
quate, but the powerful fire pumps of
the paper mills were set to work pump
ing directly into the mains.
1t was one of the worst nights imagin-
able to fight fire, the temperature being
in the vicinity of thirty below zero, and
efficient work was almost impossible.
When the confagration threatened,
help was summoned from Portland and
Lewiston, and an engine and men were
sent from each city. When they arrived
both engines were found to be frozen up
and they had to be thawed out: BY
that time the fire was fairly under con-
troll, but in the forenoon of Wednesday
one of them worked for several hours
when fresh blaze started up among
the ruins.
The heaviest loser is the Berlin Ma
tional Bank, which owned one of the
burned buildings. Its loss is reckoned
at $4,000. The other losses are Of vari-
GUS business concerns large and small,
and of families, the upper portions of
most of the burned buildings being
occupied a. tenements. The total In
surance is about 500, 900, which is about
twO.fifths of the loss.
The burned district is nearly the same
that was burned over In the fire Of Jan.
4, 1905, and most of the buildings burn
ed in this fire were erected since the
former one.

Discrepancy In Computing tho Date

to about the year 6S. at which time
there was much contention among the
eastern and western churches as to
what day the festival should be OBJ.
served. 1t was finally ordained at the
council of Nice In the year 325 that II
must be observed throughout the Chris
tian world on the same day. This de-
cision settled that Easter should be
Kept upon the Sunday first after the
fourteenth day Of the first Jewish
moAth. but no general conclusion was
arrived at as to the cycle by which
the festival was to be regulated, and
some churches adopted one rule and
some another. This diversity Of usage
vas put an end to. and the Roman
rule making Easter the first Sunday
after the fourteenth day Of the calen-
lar moon was established In England
in $50. After nine centuries dis
crepancy In the keeping Of Easter was
caused by the authorities Of the Eng
lish church declining to adopt the ref
ormation Of the Gregorian calendar In
1852. The difference was settled In
1852 by the adoption Of the rule which
makes Easter day always the first
Sunday after the full moon which ap-
pears on or next after the twenty-frst
day Of March. II the full moon hap
pens upon Sunday, Easter is the
Sunday after.

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. 800, 1876, 900 board feet was produced,
and it's mill value was 1921, Isl 1888.
In addition, there were produced 11,S5S,-
2GO. 900 shingles, valued at S24, l55, 555,
and 3,Sl2. so, 900 lath, valued at sl1 400,
SO. On the whole, it is safe to say that
the present annual lumber cut of the
United States approximates 40 billion
feet, and that the total mill value of the
lumber, lath, and shingles each year
produced is not less than 100000 900.
These figures give some idea of how vast
is the lumber industry and how great IL
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
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 a
surprise to many-comeS second. Since
1899 the cut of Douglas fir has increased
lS6 per cent. Louisiana is the foremost
yellow pine State, with Texas, Missis
sippi, and Arkansas following in order
Washington produces by far the greatest
amount of Douglas fir.
A com parison 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 others, is
now third. In the same period Oregon
Louisiana, Mississippi, Idaho, and Cali
fornia made great strides as lumber
producing states, though, on the Other
hand, the amount produced in Michigan
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Georgia, Ken
lucky, Tennessee, Missouri, Indiana, anC
Ohio fell off anywhere from 90 to 81 pei
cent.
The highest priced native woods art
walnut, hickory, and ash, and the cheap
est are larch and white fir. From thu
fact, however, that since 1899 the aver
age increase in the price of lumber has
been 40 per cent, it will not be long be
fore cheap woods are few and far be
tween.

United States in 1906 are contained il
