Southern Supply of DOgwOOd.
PersimOn Nearly Exhausted
But the West Comes to the Res
cue With Immense Quantity
Of Large DogwOOd

TIE supply of dogwood and pesim-
mon shu.Jos in the Southern States is
nearly exh.us ID. This statement will
not appear slg-..', an % the average
man when he iisC III RS 4. Blu
when he is told that the cad sup
ply of shuttles, bobbins, and spindle
used in the cotton and wooden mills
in all parts of the country is furnish
ed by the dogwood and persimmon
grown in the Southern States, the
seriousness of the situation is appar-
ent. The textile mills of the country
represent a capitalization of nearly a
billion dollars and bobbins, shuttles,
and spindles are just as necessary part
of these mills as the throttle is to
the locomotive.
Fortunately he shuttle manufac-
turers have found another source of
supply in the dogwood stands in the
far northwest pjart of the country.
Two large companies manufacturing
spindles, shuttles, and bobbins have
erected plants in the Cascades in Ore
gon, whose dogwood forests are the
greatest in the world the tree often
attaining a height Of rs feet and a
diameter of one to two feet. The
Southern dogwood is rarely more than
6 INCHES in diameter. Extensively
stands of dogwood are also found in
California and Washington. Up to the
present time, lumber users in the Pa
cific northwest have found dogwood
valueless except for fuel, and it's util-
ization for the manufacture of shut
ties will bring about a considerable
increase in stumpage values of this
tree.
These companies, at their oregon
plants will not only manufacture the
articles named but will utilize every
part of the tree turning TO account
the waste wood and producing such
by-products as pyroligneous acid acct
ic acid protacetate of iron, acetate
of lime, methylated spirits, solvent
naphtha, wood tar, wood pitch and
various forms of charcoal. Dogwood is
indispensable in the manufacture of
shuttles, bobbins, and spindles because
it is the only wood which takes a
high polish and wears perfectly smoot
by friction under water.
The discovery of the adaptability
of the Pacific Haywood, however, has
not aided the eastern manufacturers,
and they have been obliged TO look
for substitutes nearer home. The
most promising of these are mesquite
and tupelo gum. The wood of the
mesquite is heavy and very hard, close
grained and has a compact structure.
1t is probable that it would be emf
nently adapted for the manufacture of
shuttle blocks, as it appears to have
all the requisite qualities of weight
hardness, and susceptibility 10 a high
smooth polish. Already it has proven
well fitted for the manufacture of
spools and bobbins for which white
birch is now SO largely used. The
tupelo gum is medium hard and heavy.
and has a compact fibrous structure.
1t has not yet been utilized to much
extent in the textile industries, though
it is probable it will play an importan
part in the future, since 1t combines
with several necessary qualities the
exacting property Of wearing smooth
by friction.

Vanderbilt Was Seventy Before He
Made His Fortune.

The Vanderbilt fortune, once the
greatest financial power in the
United States, probably amounts. at
the present moment, not far from
$300,000,000. OF this, William
Nissan Vanderbilt, who controls
the majority of the family proper
ties, hold in the neighborhood Of
$100,000000, while twelve or fifteen
descendants of the Commodore
share among themselves the re-
naming $2O0,OOO,OO0.
Perhaps the most remarkable
fact in the whole remarkable
career of Commodore Cornelius
Vanderbilt is that he did his really
important work and heaped up his
enormous fortune after he was
seventy years old. He was born in
1894, and almost all his energies,
until the outbreak of the Civil War,
had been absorbed in the MANAGE
ment of his numerous steamboat
and steamship lines.
Cornelius Vanderbilt, when run
ming his steamboats, up and down
the Hudson River, had felt keenly
the competition of the railroad
along its eastern shore. Later de-
velopmentS led him early to per-
ceive, what most of his contempor-
aries saw only family, that trans
portation in this country would
follow the line, not of the canal and
the river, but of the steel rail. AS
soon as he had caught this glimpse
of the future, Vanderbilt character
istically acted upon it. Fifty years
before foreseeing the possibilities
of steam travel by water, he had
sold his whole sailing fleet and per-
chased steamboats,; acting just as
promptly now, he sold all his water
craft and began purchasing rail-
roads. Burton j. Hendrick in Nc

Where Women Vote.

There are but four states in the
Union where women possess the
right of suffrage upon uqual terms
with man, these being Wyoming,
Colorado, Utah and Idaho.
The president of the United
States chosen yesterday was sup
ported by mothers, wives and
SWcethearts in this quartet of COM
monWealths.
Wyoming was the first state to
establish full suffrage, doing so in
1850. More than twenty years
elapsed before Colorado threw down
the bars, women there receiving
the privilege in 1888. Utah and
home makers" in 1898.
Curiously enough the States
which have full suffrage are nearly
all of the same political persuasion.
Women of Rhode Island have
made strenuous efforts to vote at
all elections, and even got so far as
to have bill introduced into the
State Legislature, where it was de-
feated in 1907. Oregon, in June
1907, by vote of 47,075 to 36,902
refused to allow its women to cast
ballots in the general elections.
In Kansas women possess schools
suffrage, established in 1861, and
municipal suffrage established in
1887.
Eighteen States permit women to
vote on school questions, two states
on the insurance ofmunicipal bonds
and Louisiana allows all women
taxpayers to have say on all
questions submitted to taxpayers.

BIG ARMHnLE Is PAsSE.

Partisan dressmakers-the majority of
them-have decided to retain the fiat Jap
anese shoulder. but they are now making
the sleeves smaller and the armhoIes
more normal This is a decided improve
ment. as the kimono sleeve Of last season
had tendency to make the figure look
heavy. Il was all very well on slender
women, but for those who had taken
unto themselves A few extra pounds OF
flesh 1t was decidedly UnbecOming
We are still TO have the armholes OF
bodices and jackets generously large. but
they will be no longer exaggeratediy so.
Last summer 1t was quite an ordinary
thing to see the armhole Of a sleeveless
coat cut so large that the seam under the
arm was open right down to the waist.
A moderately large armhOle is an ex-
cellent thing, because it permits Of an
elaborate blouse being worn without fear
of injury, and II is pleasant to know that
our gowns OF the coming spring Will in
this respect, as well as In many others,
be practical as well as pretty.
