CEMENT AS A
SUBSTITUTE FOR WOOD.

The relation between the increasing
use of cement and the diminishing
timber supply in the United States
has been the subject of some inter
esting correspondence between the
geological survey and the forest SER
vice at washington. In a letter to
the forester. the director of the sur
yey took occasion to quote from a
statement of a large Philadelphia firm
to the effect that 1t would be diff
cult to estimate what the additional
drain on the lumber supply would
have been during the last few years
had not cement come into such gen
eral use. The forester replied in part
as follows.
THE forest service is watching
with great deal of interest the In
creasing use of cement and other sub
stitutes for wood They are undoubt-
eddy having some influence on the
price OF lumber. though 1 do not
think that up to tie present time
they have greatly retarded the adj
vance in lumber prices. The fact is
that our industrial progress has been
so great that our requirements for
every kind of structural material
have increased tremendously. We are
using at the present time more lum-
Der per capita than ever before and
probably twice as much per capiti
as we did fifty years ago. The con-
clusion can not be escaped. there

pend more than in the past on other
materials than wood for certain pur-
poses at least As to the increase

of cement. my impression is that this
will be very great"

Mr.. TAFT AND
TARIEE REVISION.


IL would be interesting to know
whether William Howard Taft or a
clique headed by Cannon and off;cered
by Payne, Dalzell, Mccall. Aldricn
and Burrows is to carry into effect
the solemn promise Of the republican
paprty TO revise the tariff. From pre-
lninary statements made by Cannon
and Payne it is very plain that their
ideas of revision are out of accord
with the popular interpretation of the
promises made by the party both in
its platform and through its candi,
date for the presidency.
1t may be conceded that the adjust
ment, revision and correction of the
tariff schedules win take account of
the unprotected condition of some few
articles of domestic production; but
the demand. republican as well as
democratic. for revision had no foun-
dalton in such oversights if there are
any of them. From all sides the I'M
partisan clamor has been for the re
peal Of the Dingley schedules which
may OF may not lave fitted the
coDdiuons that existed at the time of
the enactment of the law. However
that may be, the business conditions
OF the country have changed more
since 1897 than in any previous half
century of the nations existence.
Dingieyism was obviously obsolete six
years ago.
Thousands of believers in protec-
tion have Endorsed the demand for
the revision of the Dingiey law and
by revision these thousands have
meant, not mere change, but a gen
eral reduction which would remove in
large degree the opportunities for
Ieyying tribute on the domestic con-
sumer. So far In the official progress
of the movement the consumer, help
less and unorganized, has not been
mentioned. We hear that the ways
and means committee will give hear
ings to both sides. hut there is only
one side that can and will make it
self heard. The consumer looks TO
Mr.. Taft for the aid he wants. and
Mr.. Taft seems. 50 far. at least, to
be the merest cipher in the scheme,
How vigorously he may assert him
self later we may rot say. but 1t Is
main that If he doesn't, the tariff viii
be indeed revised by its friends-and
the friends of tariff rates that arc
prohibitiye.

urst, of coconino county, has decIar

Making Good.

There is no way of making lasting
friends like Making Good" and Doctor
Pierce's medicines well exemplify this,
and their friends, after more than two
the hundreds of thousands. They have
umade good" and they have not made
drunkards.
A good, honest, square deal medicine. of
known composition is DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. 1t still enjoys an i'm
mense sale, while most of the prepara-
tions that have come into prominence in
the earlier period of its popularity have
"gone by the board and are never more
heard Of There must be some reason for
this longtime popularity and that is to
be found in its superior merits. When
once given fair trial for weak stomach,
or for liver and blood affections, its supe-
rior curative qualities are soon manifest;
ular favor, while scores of less meritorious
articles have suddenly flashed into favor
for a brief period and then been as soon
forgotten.
Indigestion, dyspepsia, headache, per-
haps dizziness, foul breath, nasty coated
tongue. with bitter taste. loss of appetite,
with distress after eating, nervousness
and debility, nothing is so good as DR..
Pierces Golden Medical Discovery. It's
an honest, square-deal medicine with all
its ingredients printed on bottle-wrapper
no secret, no hocus-pocus humbug,
therefore don't accept substitute that
the dealer may possibly make a little big
ger profit. Il,stst on your right to have
what you call for.
Don't buy DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
tion expecting it to prove rcure-all." 1t
is only advised for woman's special all
mentS. 1t makes weak women strong and
sick women well. Less advertised than
some preparations sold for like purposes,
its sterling curative virtues still maintain
its position in the front ranks, where it
stood over two decades ago. AS an in
vigorating tonic and strengthening nerv-
who want BOOZE" for there is not drop
of alcohol in it.
DIR. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, the Origi-
nal Little Liver Pills, although the first
pill of their kind in the market still lead,
and when once tried are ever afterwards
in favor. Easy to take as candy-one to
three dose. Much initiated but neper
eQlldled.

1t is now apparent to us why
the Telephone company changed
it's system of collection and in
stead of having to "cough up" toll
Immediately after each talk, the
amount is charged up against the
subscriber and collected when the
phone rental is paid. This sys-
tenn facilitates collections-for the
company-since it has adopted the
plan of charging subscriber five
cents for talking to any pay sta
ton in the county, be it at Russell,
Black Hawk, Nevadaville or the
postoffice or Teller House in this
city. So at the end of the month
your bill instead Of being the regu-
lar phone charge will have added
to it the "fxin's." 1t might be
we'll for prospective subscribers
to keep this little "joker' in mind
as it isn't very likely that the oily
tongued representative of the
Telephone company will apprise
you of it in soliciting your bust
ness.

The new ruling of the Post.
master General forbidding pub
fishers of weeklies sending papers
to subscribers more than a year in
arrears, while it may work hard
ship at the start will ultimately
prove benefit to the newspaper
fraternity. Although the order is
somewhat strict in requiring that
the paper be stopped at the ex-
piration of year it will be the
means of bringing the subscribers
to understand that they must pay
their subscription accounts with
the same promptness they would
meet with any other debt. Pub.
fishers have been generous here
tofore in sending paper two or
three years and awaiting the pleas
ure of the subscriber to pay and
in many instances where the sub
scriber could just as conveniently
have paid at the end of each year.

that the Tkaws will step from the

to be censured if not condemned
for not taking poison when her
