DRAIN UPON THE FOREST
They Are Beng Cut Three Times
as Fast as They Grow

Since 1880 the sources of lumber
supply have undergone remarkable
changes. The first change was in
the regions from which the priuci
pal kinds of lumber rere procured,
| and this was followed by the substitu
ton of other kinds of wood In their
places. Neither the centers OF the
lumber industry nor the leading
classes of woods are the same as
they were twenty-five years ago.
In 1880 nine States-Michisan,
Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, New York
Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi, Louis
lana, and Washington-produced
sa.8 per cent, or more than half of
the total lumber production of the
United States. In 1906 these
States produced SIS per cent. prac-
tically the same proportion, but the
changes which have taken place in
output of individual States are very
striking. Michigan, for instance,
cut a3 per cent of the total in 1880
aud but So per cent in 1906; Louis
lana cut o. 7 per cent Of the total in
1880 and IS per cent in 1906;
Washington furnished but o.o per
cent of the lumber production of
/ $50 and IFS per cent of that of
1 goo. The cutting ont of the vir-
gin timber in the north and east has
been followed by increased drains
1pon the forest resources of the
south and West.
Despite these conditions the
lmount of timber required has In
creased year by year. The increase
n consumption Of timber since 1870
,ss been mere rapid than the in
'-ease Of the population, and greater
ban in any similar perid in the his.
ory of the country. This shows in
striking manner how much the

nation depends upon forest products
and indicates how greatly all inter.
ests must suffer as lumber becomes
scarcer and dearer.
Statistics gathered by the Burean
of the Census and the Forest Ser
vice seow that the quantities OF
timber used last year for lumber,
shingles, ties, pulpwood, coorerage
stock, mine timbers, lath. distilla-
lion, veneer, poles, tanning and
turpentine and rosin, expressed in
broad feet, reach total of approx
mately so billion board feet.
While these drains upon the
forest are known with reasonable
certainty, there are others of which
there is no record. These are the
demand for posts, fuel and domestic
purposes, regarding which it is more
difficult to obtain information be
cause the products often pass
through no market, but are sousum-
ed on the farm where they were pro.
duced. Careful estimates, however
place the total wood used for fuel
alone at an equivalent of so billion
board feet a year.
1t will be seen, then, that the
present consumption of wood In all
forms is above 100 billion board
feet annually. Estimating the for
est area OF the United States at from
500 to TOO million acres and the
annual growth at 60 board feet per
acre; the yearly increase ofifrom 80
to AZ billion feet. At .his rate, the
annual growth barely equals the
amount for lumber alone. Consid
ing all the drains, the annual con-
sumption of wood is probably three
times the annual growth. Detailed
estimates of standing timber range
from 1900 to 1000 billion feet.
Using the larger figure and consid-
ering the annual growth of 40 billion
feet. it appears that there is not
more than 50 years supply of
timber in this country at the present
rate Of consumption.
At present only about az per cent
Of our total forest area is in State
Or National Forests, the remainder
being uureserved public lands or in
private hands. The forest area is
imply sufficient, if rightly managed
o produce eventually enough timber
o supply all our needs. Yet pm |
'aie owners, as well as the State |
md National Governments, must |
Ise their forest lands In a right way
we are to maintain our timber
upply.

Forest Service, contains a discus

OUR SHARE OF THE WORK.

OUR SHARE OF THE WORK.
 All of the information on the sub ject that comes to hand adds to the confidence we of Arizona feel, that We will be admitted to statehood at the approaching short session of con- gress. The president, nearly a year ago, declared for separate statehood, though in a later interview he eX- pressed a belief that it probably could not be secured before the next congress. Since then several events have occurred which seemed to bring it nearer and now comes a letter from Secretary Loeb to the secretary of the republican territorial commit tee stating that the president will urge admission at the eaerliest pos sible moment.
 While thus, everything seems to be coming our way, there is still some thing for us to do and that is to encourage more or less reluctant re- publican congressman to believe that in admitting Arizona, they are not certainly lengthening the list of dem ocratic states.
 Though we have often expressed confidence, since the republican con vention, that Arizona would be ad- mitted, it seemed probable that it v9pfd not be done before the next con,r ess, for though, perhaps a ma ioritv of representatives and sena- tors ufht be ever so strongly in favor of statehood at once, the very slightest opposition to it in the brief session whi57 must come to an end on March next would be fatal
 But now, we do not believe there will be any opp05ition on the part of the republicans fl a majority of Arizona voters declar m favor of MT. Cameron for delegatt There will in no event be any opposition from the democratic ude Some might compare this difference of attitude of the demOcIsts ana republicans in congress as retecting upon the latter. That depends pon the point of view, but anyway that $ none of our business. We are after statehood and can not afford to dis cuss the morals of republican con- gressmen. We want their votes.

The Los Angeles Times prints a long and interesting editorial show ing that the election of Taft is cer- tain and why, and then concludes with an inevitable localization, de- claring that Los Angeles county will give him a handsome majority. Why did not the Times state that most important and clinching fact in the beginning and not compel us to wade in apprehension through a column of lesser argument?

A new cave has been discovered near Cave Creek and cuneform hiero- glyphics have been found which are engaging the profound attention of all the Psychologists of that region. They have not been fully deciphered yet, but they seem to have some bearing upon one of the early cam paigns of Hon. M. A. Smith on the statehood issue.
