supply. Since southern pine is
abundant in all the Atlantic coast
Istatesfrom the Carolinas to Texas,
the region as a whole will doubtless
maintain its leading position Tor
some years, in spite of the fact that
at the present rate the bulk OF the
timber will be gone in another de-
cade; but in totals of production by
individual states the leadership since
1905 has been held by Washington.
The figures Of production show
that during 1907 Washington fell
off very decidedly from its huge cut
of 1906, while its sister state, Ore
gon, is credited with a slight In
crease iu it's total. In the early part
of the year Washington suffered from
a car shortage, and at the end the
combined effect of business disturb
ance and higher freight rates had
brought the industry almost to pa
ralysis. Oregon kept up its cut be-
cause Of its larger proportion OF
c0astwise and foreign trade. Those
two states produced more lumber
than any other states IN the Union.
1t is a striking fact that though
lumber prices have been steadily
going up during the last half CEN
fury, the per capita consumption of
lumber has also been going up. In
1850, according to the best figures
obtainable, the average consumption
to each person in the country was
$50 feet; in 1900, 459 feet; in 1907,
480 feet. This illustrates what has
been found true the world over
that with industrial progress the de-
mand for wood becomes gaeater and
greater.

this immutable law of trade cannot
be anuulled by any act of individ-

lMIOR lance Of DRAINAGE.

With an average Of q 700 tons Of
water falling in the form Of rain on
each mile Of public road in the
United States annually, il is scarcely
to be maryeIled at that the ten com
mandlnents Of the road builder can
be summed up sueaInctIy in the
word drainage.
The saying has truth for a basis
as good drainage ls the primary
requisite for all roads. Even III
sand roads this holds true, for there
good drainage means such az will
safely remove the storm water with
out erosion or outlying and still re-
tain tho surface moisture.
10 secure good drainage one must
take into consideration both the sur
face water and underground water.
The surface water must be removed
quickIy and completely and without
]sUbJecting the road to excessive
scour or erosion. For this reason,
the center OF the road should be
raised and the slope towards the
side bitches should be from one-haIf
to one inch to each foot distance, or
50 that the water will run freely TO
the side bitches and not flow down
the road or remain 10 puddIes on the
roadway. The side bitches should
be Of ample size to care for the Sc
vcrcst storms with a fall Of not less
than 6 inches TO each 100 feet.
and ample cross drains
should be constructed and every OPP
]p0rtunity taken to get the water
away from the road as quickly as
possible. Any road along which
you see water standing in the side
bitches or on which puddles Of wat
er have collected or which has been
badly quilted and eroded by the
has poor drainage and is in
need Of immediate attention. In
fact, earth roads nearly always re.
Quire a little attention after each
rain. The split-log drag is essent-
q tool to maintain a good
drainage on our earth roads and
be used after each rain,
But in many places the under
ground water is too near the surface
and must be removed before a good
road is possible, This means that
some form of sub-drainage must be
.resorted to, usually tile drains, Of
clay or concrete. Water from what
ever source must be gotten rid Of
effectively. Water becomes ice in
winter and as water in freezing eX-
pands, the road heaves out Of shape
and when the ice melts the road
disappears beneath the rising tideo Of
mud constantly fed by rains, SHOWS
and underground springs.
The kind of tile to be used de-
ponds on local conditions. Concrete
tile are equally as good as clay tile,
1t is only a local question of dollars
and cents.
One great advantage of the con
crete tile is that they can be easily
made by the local users at or near
the place where where they are to
be placed, so that freight ano break
age are dispensed with. Both are
durable. The impression that tile
disintegrates is erroneous.

the kCRfASf hlssI MARS LUMBER
CUT AND THE Why OF IT..

SfNg ~ AfF1 ''AN 49, S"'
complied by the Bureau Of the Cen
sus and the Forest Service showed
the largest total ever reported in
the United States, exceeding by over
seven per cent, the cut reported for
1906, until then the record year.
This does not necessarily show a
larger actual cut than in 1906. for
the returns obtained last year we're
more complete than eve before,
The figures themselves disclose some
interesting facts,
In 1907, p, $50 mills made re-.
turns, and their production was
over 40 bllIi0nfeet Of lumber. This
is believed to include IS per cent.
Of the actual cut. In 1906, 22,39S
mills reported about 81 - billion
feet. Since according to these fig
ures nearly % per cent. more mills
reported last year than the year be-
fore, while the increase in produc-
ton was a little over seven per cent,
it might be thought that the amount
actually manufactured must have
been greater in the earlier year.
This, however, would be a too hasty
inference, for it is almost wholly
among mills of small individual out
put that the gain in the number Of
establishments reporting has been
made.
A classification of the returns by
states and regions throws additional
light on the situation. Individual
changes, as for example the remark
able rise Of Texas from eighth to
third place among the lumber pro-
Gncing states, are d0utless account
ed for primarily by the great accur-
acy OF the 1907 figures; but in the
majority Of cases the advances and
declines can be traced to specific in
tluenccs.
Before the year closed the general
business depression was severely
felt in the lumber industry 1t was
not, however, the most important
cause of a falling off in the produc-
ton Of the year where a falling off
occurred. For decline in produc-
ton took place only in certain reg
ions. The South Is the region Of
greatest activity in lumber produc-
ton, and yellow pine the most i'm
portant wood, forming 30 per cent,
Of the entire cut Of the country.
The cut Of yellow pine reported
shows an increase Of Is per cent.
over that of 1906, In the early part
Of the year many of the southern
mills cut 50 heavily that, in spite of
the GurtaiIed output which followed
the business disturbance later, the
total was greater than ever before.
But in both the Lake States and the
Northwest q smaller cut was report
cd than for 1906, though the num-
Der Of mills reporting increased.
In the Lake States the falling off
evidenced the wanting supply of
white pine. Michigan, which for
many years led all the states in Ium-
Der production, and then gave way
to Wisconsin, sank in 1907 from
fourth to seventh place, while Wis
consin went from third to fifth.
Minnesota as late as 1908 held
fourth place. Last yearit went from
seventh to ninth. 1t was not until
the latter COS that the South dis
placed this group of states as the
most imnortant sOuTcp of lumber

A TOUCHING STORY.
The Mother Love Displayed by Polar
Bear for Her Cubs.

A touching story is told by an arctic
explorer about the motherly love OF
bear for her cubs. He states that
while his ship was locked in the Ice,
they noticed three bears making their
way toward the vessel, attracted no
doubt by the smell Of blubber which
some of the crew were burning The
intruders proved to be she bear and
her two cubs. The three ran to the fre
and drew out part Of the flesh and ate
it voraciously. Then the crew threw
great humps Of food to them, but the
mother bear left her babies on at q
distance, and she got the food, taking
it to them and keeping the smallest por-
ton for herself. As she was fetching
away the last piece the men fred and
shot all three bears, killing the cubs
and mortally wounding the mother. II
would have drawn the tears OF pity
from any eye to have marked the
loving concern of this poor animal
for her dead babes Badly wounded
