AS TO TEXAS LUMBER.

The numbering industry in Texas
is ON the increase. During 1907 Tex
as produced more yellow pine than
any other state IN the union with
the exception of Louisiana, accord
ing to the statistics of the forest SER
vice of the department Of agricul-
ture And within the present month
g. furniture manufacturing firm at
Grand Rapids, Mich, began hauling
mesquite logs out of Texas. Today
yellow pine, grown only in the south
leads all other woods in the amount
cut and the lumber cut of the coun-
try last year was greater than ever
before in its history. The enormous
amount of 37,550,736 board feet was
produced and the mill value was
1921, 1888.
The figures serve to give some
idea not only of the value of and
vastness of the industry, but also
show how great is the demand, a de-
mand which is constantly increasing
while values are also constantly
growing. They demonstrate the OPP
portunity for Texas and other south
ern states. With the passing of white
pine and oak, the former the great
est softwood and the latter the
greatest hardwood for all purposes,
the demand has naturally turned to
yellow pine, which is now in the
lead. With the present drain upon
the yellow pine of Texas it will only
be a question of time when the sup
ply shall become exhausted and it
would seem to be the part of wis
dom by the lumber interests in this
state to take steps to keep the sup
ply replenished.

Miss Kate Criddle has gone home !;
Here on earth no more to roam,
We will bear her name in mind.
For she was so sweet and kind.
Her parents now are weeping,
But Miss Kate is only sleeping;
We will miss her ever more,
And our hearts will all be sore.
Let US all hope to meet her there:
In Gods land so bright and fair;
May Gods kindness and love sur
round her,
And our hopes all linger around
her.

Salisbury has suffered defeat by a Utah

the younger players of the state.
GarnettS victory was due to his clever
back hand returns from the side lines to-
gether with Steadiness, accurate judgment
in placing his return shots and cool de-
meanor throughout the play. His victory
makes him strong favorite in the finals.
