BRYAN At FARGO.
Will Give Several Speeches Between
There and Grand Forks.

mere ana Gfano f0fk6..
Fargo, N. d., Sept. William j.
Bryan today continued his campaign
in the northwest. He arrived here early
this morning, and after breakfast, pro-
ceeded to the fair grounds and held a
reception preliminary to his speech. At
noon, he was rendered a banquet. Sew
eral speeches are scheduled between
here and Grand Forks, at which place
BRYAN tonight will talk on the issues
of the campaign.
Bryan gave to his speech here agr-
cultural color, owing to the fact that
he was in a farming country. The IL
Illustrations which he used were gath
cred from the farm and the issues pre-
scented were those that appealed es-
pecially to the farmer. He dmelt upon
the subjects covered by his notification
speech and pointed out, as he did then,
the things which he said have operated
to take the government out Of the
hands of the people, and named the
remedies which the democrats propose.
He also spoke at length on the tariff
question, accentuating the word "un-
equivocally," which he said appears in
the promise of the republican platform
relative to the calling of an extra ses-
sion of congress. He said:
'why do they use the word 'un-
equivocally?' Why do they try to dis
tinguish this promise from the unkept
promises of the past? If you want to
find out the real meaning of the word
.unequivocally,' call at a bank and ask
for loan. When the cashier gives
Won blank note to fill out, take your
pen and write in the word 'uneQuiv-
ocally' before you promise to pay and
the hank official will ask you to get
another surety. That word Will arouse
suspicion. and its presence in the re
publican platform is a confession that
the party is under suspicion and recog-
nizes that its promises are below par"

1907 LUMBER CUT LARGEST.
Gain Over Last Year Somewhat
Problematical.

Washington, Sept. Figures of the
lumber cut in 1907, compiled by the
bureau of the census and the forest
service, showed the Largest total ever
reported in the United States, exceed
ing by over z per cent the cut reported
for 1906, until then the record year.
This does not necessarily show larger
actual cut than in 1906, for the returns
obtained last year were more complete
than ever before. The figures them
selves disclose several interesting facts.
In 1907, $3.50 mills made returns,
and their production was over 100000
900, 900 feet of lumber. This is be-
lieved to include 95 per cent of the
actual cut. In 1906, .22,39s mills re-
ported about 37,50o,000,ooO feet. Since
according to these figures nearly 20 per
cent more mills reported last year than
the year before, while the increase in
production was only a little over
per cent, 1T might be Thought that the
amount actually manufactured must
have been greater in the earlier year.
This, however, would be too nasty
inference, for it is almost wholly
among mills Of small individual output
that the gain in the number of estab-
lishments 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 producing
states, are doubtless accounted for pri-
marily by the greater accuracy of the
1907 figures; but IN the majority OF
cases the advances and declines can
be traced to specific influences.
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 production of the
year where falling off occurred. for
decline in production took place only
In certain regions. The south is the
region of the greatest activity In lnn-
Der production. and yellow pine the
most important wood, forming 80 per
cent of the entire cut of the country.
The cut of yellow pine reported shows
an increase of 13 per cent over that OF
1906.
In the early part of the year many
of the southern mills cut SO heavily
that. in spite of the curtailed output
which followed the business disturb
ance later, the total was greater than
ever before But sip bcth the lake states
and the northwest = smaller cut was

THOUSANDS TIED UP
Passengers on Canadian Pacific.
Maroonsd at Way Stations West Of
Winnipeg - cloudburst Puts Limo
Out Of Business.

Winnipeg, Sept. Fifteen passen-
ger trains, beside all freight and stock
trains. on the Canadian Pacific be-
tween Winnipeg and Fort William
are held up at way stations, the result
of cloudburst late Saturday night
1t is stated by railway men to be the
worst disaster of the kind that ever
happened in western Canada. Not a
train has reached Winnipeg from the
east since Saturday. Fully 10000 peo-
pie are being kept waiting at points
along the line. Earl Grey, governor
general Of Canada, and party, are on
board one of the delayed trains.

reported than Cor 1905, altho the NUNS

reported than for 1906, alt1lo the num-
Der Of mills reporting increased.
1t is a striking fact that, tho lumber
prices have been steadily going up dur
ing the last half century, the per capita
consumption of lumber has also Deen
going up. In 1850, according TO the
best figures obtainable, the average
consumption to each person In the
country was $50 feet, in 1900 400 feet
and in 1907 $50 feet. This illustrates
what has been found true the world
over,-that with III dustriaj progress the
demand for wood becomes greater and
greater.

New York, Sept. Political con-

length today at the conference Of Ma
tional Chairman Mack, members Of the
national committee, and the heads Of
the various bureaus of the democratic

he had received reports from all the
states along the Atlantic seaboard.
that he was more than satisfied with
the progress Of the campaign, and that
the east could be relied on to help swell
the electoral votes for Bryan. Repre-
sentatives from Rhode Island informed

believe that Rhode Island this year
would cast it's electoral vote for the
