THE WOOD OUTPUT.
Production of Lumber, Lath and shin
e1es in IOO7-Ccusus Figures.

Tho Bureau Of the Census, with the
assistance of the Forest Service Of the
Department Of Agriculture, has for some
years collected statistics concerning the
annual production of various forest prod
ucts, and the preliminary totals for the
cut Of lumber. lath and shingles for tho
year ending December 81 1907. have Just
been made public.
LUMBER CUT OVER FORTY Bill
LION FEET
Unusual Importance Is attached to the
reports for the last year, which show
| that the aggregate cut OF lumber In the
United states Increased from 3755I mill
lion feet, board measure, in 1905, to 40
256 million feet In 1904 gain Of 2,7oj
million feet, or 10 per cent. For lath
and shingles the total production was
1864 million and 1880 million, respec-
lively. in 1907. as against asia million
and HISS million, respectively, In 1906
| n decrease of 14a million. or 80 per cent.
| in lath, and an Increase of % million, or
| cight-tenths of per cent, In shingles.
The number of mills reporting in 1907
was $3.50. while in 1906 the cut Of 223os
mills was covered.
The substantial increase In the total
production Of lumber in 1907 com

IN THE SOUTHERN
STATES

The unprecedented volume of building
operations under way during 1896 ana
the earlier part of 1907 had created de-
mand for yellow pine which reduced
stocks and kept tho mills running at
practically maximum capacity during
the major part of the latter year--for
some months even after tho decline IN
building activity had become general
and pronounced. Furthermore these con-
ditons brought into operation many now
mills, fact which also contributed 10
q material increase in the normal cut or
the region through the earlier months
Of 1901 The exceptionally heavy pro-
duction during this part Of the year is
moro clearly indicated by the figures
when II Is borne in mind that many or
the large mills in the yellow pine district
werc idle. or practically so. for several
weeks during the latter part Of the year.
The greater thoroughncss which charac-
tcrizcd the 1907 canvass undoubtedly

One Hundred and Twenty nine Seriously Injured in Cause of Sport During 1908

 Variety.

Chicago, Nov 21The football sea son. which practically closed to-day, reaped the usual harvest in killed and mamed youths, In all there were thirteen deaths directly due to the game and l2O players seriously wound cd. This latter number does not in- clude the many broken fingers, badly cut faces teeth knocked out, and kin dred other minor injuries.
 Tho off repeated defense of the game made by the enthusiasts. that it is tho boys, the poorly-tr trained athletic club players, or the novice and not the trained college gladiator that Is the sufferer is disputed by the classifca ton of the victims into the college high school, and athletic clubs. The tables show that six of the thirteen slain were university students. Of these. fvc were members of the "regu- lar' teams and one was a member of second team. which Is supposed to have the same physical supervision as tho regulars
 The list of seriously injured also gives strong argument against thls plea of the college football exponents, There it is shown that .sixty-two col lcgc players were seriously hurt, as against forty-eight high school players and nineteen of all others.
