While over in Lincoln township,

we looked around for the old sctt

people who used to attend church
Sunday School and spelling school
at the Pioneer school house, but
there we're few Of the original sett

pupils that attended school With
US at the Pioneer school house
when Joel Miller taught. 10 the
winter of 1851. OF the original
settlers Of the township 10 1876,
there are Joel Miller. Chas. Blake
slee. Thomss Powell, Mrs. Morris.
Arch Fullerton. and Mrs. An.
schultz, and Ed Barrett and Jacob
Miller are near the west line.
Elisha Williamson and son Ed
Williamson are near the east line,
and Mrs. joseph Potts and family,
and John Heueisen are on the
north and in Barton county Jos.
Stroll. W. R. Bunting and Nose
Kimler live in Great Bend, aud
most of the others are scattered
over the south and west.
The Pionf er district was famous
in the old days for its school,
spelling school. and lyceums, par
ticularly the latter. as there we're
several of the attendants there
that were up in parliamentary law
notably Morrison R. Waite, after
ward governor Of Colorado, who
lived over th e line in Pawnee
County. In the early days there
were no rich and no one had much
the advantage over their neighbor,
not much to bother themselves
about and ali enjoyed :hemselve.
And we wonder If most Of them
do not look back to that time al
the happiest Of their life.

6reaiest lumber Cut

| MOIc lulnOeI Was cut IN Inc OulteQ
States last year than in any other
year in its history. The enormous
amount Of 81. 55O,736 board feet was
produced, and The mill value OF this
was 1921, l6l,3sS. In aodilion, there
was produced 1883, 100000 shing.
lies, valued at s24. 1886, and 1912,
SO7 900 lath, valued at sll, 490,570.
On the whole, il 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 THAI 500,
900, 900. These figures give some
idea Of how vast is the lumber indus
try and how great is the demand for
its products.
A glance at the kind Of lumber pro.
duceo shows very clearly the passing
Of white pine and oak, one Of the
greatest soft wood and the ot7er
the greatest hardwood the for.
est has ever grown. Since 1897 the
cut Of white pine has fallen of more
than 40 per cent, while that OF white
oak has fallen of more than SO per
cent. Today yellow pine leads all 9th.
Ell woods in amonnt cut, while Doug.
las fr-and this will be a surprise to
many, comes second, Since 1899 the
cut Of Douglas fir has increased 1856
per cent. Louisiana is the foremost
yellow pine state, with Texas, Miss
issippi, and Arkansas following in or
der. W ashington produces by far the
greatest amount Of Douglas fir.
A comparison ofthe lumber pro.
ducing States shows that since 1899
there have been many changes in
their relative rank. Washington, which
in 1899 stood sixth while Wisconsin
which s years ago led all others, is
now third. In the same period Oregon,
Louisiana, Mississippi, Idaho, and
California made great strides as lum-
Der producing States, though on the
other hand. the amount produced in
Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Miss
ouri, Indiana, and Ohio fell of any
where from go to 81 per cent.
The highest priced native woods
are walnut, hickory, and ash, and the
cheapest are lareh and white FIR.
From the fact. however, that since
1899 the average increase in the price
of lumber has been 40 per cent, 1t
will not be long before the cheap
woods are few and far between.
Figures upon the lumber cut Of the
lumber cut Of the United States in
1906 are contained 10 Circular l22 of
forest Service which can be had up
on application 10 the Forester, u. S.
