A Lincoln Memorial.

The year 1909 being the centennial
suggested that as one of the honors to
be paid his memory upon that ami
versary a fitting memorial should be
erected at the national capital There
is, to be sure, the Lincoln monument
at Springfield, ILL.,. which is imposing in
its way and will always be a shrine tor
patriotic Americans, but many feel
that there should be a great monument
of some kind erected in his honor at
Washington There is no lack Of
Lincoln statues through the land. out
there has not been conceived and put
years ago, any splendid and striking
architectural epic which shows the
world at glance what Lincoln was,
what he wrought for the Union and the
undying regard in which he is held
by the people OF the United States.
Washington would be the fitting
place for such a memorial and the
Washington Star is earnestly Waging a
crusade i'm behalf of Congressional
action toward it's erection. If such a
monument or memorial is to be
erected, the centennial of Lincoln s
birth is beyond question the proper
time to do it. The whole land will join
in honorina his memory when the
centennial falls next February and
there will be general revival of in
terest in his life and work, though for
that matter such interest shows no
sign of ebbing with the passing years
and naturally new memorials of varl-
Gus kinds will be erected. The move
ment which the Star has started Will
not lack warm supporters and no doubt
Congress will give the matter prompt
and careful attention.

Majnc's Rank in Lumber.

According to the figures sent out by
Clifford Pinchot from the National
Forestry Bureau, Maine retains first
place among the states in the matter
of spruce production, but no longer
has an output which warrants it's
familiar name of The Pine Tree
State" Maine, to be sure, is still pro-
ducing pine, but not to such an extent
as in earlier years and other states
have crowded it out of the high place
it once held in this industry. In
spruce Maine leads the Union, being
followed in turn by New Hampshire,
West Virginia, Washington and New
York In white pine Maine ranks
fourth, it's output being eXcelled by
New Hampshire, Wisconsin and
Minnesota In balsam fir Maine is al
so first, while in birth it stands fourth
and in hemlock it ranks sixth.
In the year 1907 Maine furnished
30.6 per cent. of the total spruce cut,
which, by the way, was the largest IN
the history of the spruce lumber trade.
In Maine 500 miles produced 52S.013, 900
feet with a mill valuation of $S,S15,112,
an average of s16.69 per thousand. For
the country at large the product was
1,726.797 900 feet with a mill value of
$29, 1885, giving an average value of
SIPS per thousand While the Maine
mills were saving out that amount of
spruce they were producing 32S,775,000
feet of pine lumber with a mill value
of $6,006,467. an average OF $1S.27 per
thousand. Minnesota, which led all
the states, produced over a billion and
80 millions of dollars.
Maine is sixth in the hemlock lum-
Der trade with an output for 1907 of
121 ,966, 900 feet, valued at $1,S74,60S.
In birch we stand fourth, furnishing
about 10 per cent of the total cut. For
1907. 253 miles in Maine produced 4O,-
10000 feet with value of $S41,142.
In the hemlock trade Maine is ranked
by New York, West Virginia, Michigan,
Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. In the
birch field Maine is led by New York,
Michigan and Wisconsin, In the bal
sam fir field Maine is again the leader
and in 1907 furnished over 65 per cent
of all that was produced. turning out
35, ,005, 900 feet with a mill value of
$54O,S14.

Michiqan Has a Native Governor.

Here in the older states where prac-
tically all of our governors, and other
public. officials for that matter, are ma
tive sons, it is a, little difficult to un-
derstand the elation now felt by
Michigan because it has now for the
first time in its history chief ex-
ecutivc who is a native of that state.
During the colonial period there were
no fever than 20 French and nine
British governors of Michigan and of
course there was not one among them
who had been born and brought up
within the area included in that terri
tory Since Michigan was admitted
men have held the executive office and
of these it is known definitely that "a
were born outside the state. Concern
ing the birthplace of one. there is a
dispute, some authorities claiming that
he was born within the state and some
outside. but in either case hcSspent his
infancy and boyhood outside of the
state, coming to Michigan at a later
period OF his life. One of these %
governors was furnished Michigan by
Maine, the late Governor Pingree who
was Il native of Denmark over in Ok
ford county.
But now Michigan has a native gov
ernor who has resided in that state
continuously from the date of his birth
and ii feels that it has right to be
very proud of the fact Governor
elect Bradley, long a leader in Re-
publican affairs of that state, is one of
Michigans representative citizens and
a mai OF great popularity. Formerly
Representative" in this connection
meant man who had assisted in de-
veloping the resources of the state and
who had accumulated great wealth
there, but henceforth Michigan people
say it will mean native son of tn"
state who has grown up there and
shown himself worthy of the highest
honors CT his fellow citizens. Cover
nor-elect Bradley. by the way, is a
physician and is one of the few men of
his profession who has ever been elect
ed chief executive of a state; certainly
he is the tirst to become governor of
Michisan.

Railroad Nomenclature.

1t might be supposed that railroads
which hear usually geographical names
would show by their titles what points
they connect. but there are many eX-
Certions in this respect. and some OF
them are surprising. The st. Louis
and San Francisco railroad. for in
stance might be supposed to run from
st. Louis to San Francisco. Actually
il runs 327 miles west of ST Louis. The
Minneapolis and st. Louis railroad
would appear to- run from Minneapolis
to St Louis. 1t actually runs from
Minneapolis to Angus, Iowa. about
halfway to st. Louis. The Omaha and
ST. Louis railroad does not run from
Omaha to st. Louis, but from Omaha
to Pattonsburg, Mo. ST. Louis is 267
miles farther east. The Toledo, St
Louis and Kansas City railroad Cor
Glover Leaf" as it is more generally
called runs from Toledo to st. Louis,
which is the western terminus of the
road. Kansas City is 325 miles away
The Toledo, Peoria and Western rail-
road does not run from Toledo to Peo-
ria, but from Indiana state line to
Warsaw. Ill.
The New York, Chicago and st. Louis
railroad (or Nickel Plate. as it is ami
versally calleD does not run from New
York to Chicago and st. Louis. 1t runs
from Buffalo to Chicago. and a pas
senger upon it coming east and landing
at Buffalo would be more than 40 miles
from New York. while passenger ,ip-
on it going west and landing at Chica-
go would be 300 miles from St Louis
The Philadelphia and Erie railroad
runs from Sunbury. Pa, to Erie The
Pennsylvania, Poughkeepsie and Bos-
ton railroad is o6 miles long, from Stat
ington, Pa. to Campbell Hall, on the

Scientists are commenting upon the
fact that the general water supplies OF
the country at the present time as
result of the long drought are much
harder than ever before. inasmuch as
large part of the available supply
comes from deep springs. Ordinarily
such supplies are largely diluted by the
rains, with the result that the general
character Of the watersheds is much
softer At the present time the water
sheds very generally show a large
excess of acid which it is claimed Is
of value in reducing the number OF
disease germs it contains, even II IN
some other respects its effects upon
consumers may be more or less de-
leterious. t.~t

TREATING EYE TROUBLES.
Physician Makes Mention Of the
Dangerous Habit.

""The beautiful heroine. burying

This is a familiar sentence in fic-
ton" a northwest physician remarked,
"and it reminds me of point IN

the average practitioner overlooks, but
the patient as we'll
Many cases of weakness of the eyes
have been superinduced by the
| thoughtiess habit some persons have OF
| sleeping on the side Of the face so that

pressure to any appreciable extent, but
with the eve, the most delicate and
sensitive organ of the body, it is an
other matter.
Just this simple but dangerous
habit alone will produce bloodshot eyes,
| innamed lids, lachyrmal discharges or
watery' eyes and tend to impair the
sight. l. have discovered in my prac-
tice that many cases of bad eyes have
resisted treatment until this cause in

accustomed to sleeping on the side

for persons with weak or inflamed
ewes. largely owing to the enhanced at

| high winds and the accumulated dust
upon the smooth asphalt streets which

impalpable quantities and on gusty
days in very considerable atoms. The
average case of weak or intlamed eyes
may be benefited by the use of col
lyrium as Il lotion applied freely to the
the regulation eye cup. especially at

which is soothing and non-irritating,
to dry on the lids, instead of being
hastily wiped off. as in the instance of
many impatient patients.
Hence. many persons are prone to
believe, or are made to believe by
others, that they are suffering from
impaired vision, and that they must
necessarily require glasses when as a
matter of fact the vision in itself is
perfect and that merely inflamed or
irritated membranes and ducts are
really i(iicated. Glasses should be used
only when the vision is impaired AS
