CEMENT AS A DESTITUTE 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 interest ing correspondence between the Geo. logical Survey and the Forest Service at Washington. In "a letter to the Forester the Director of the Survey took occasion to quote from state ment of large Philadelphia firm to the effect that it would be difficult to estimate what the additional drain on the lumber supply would have been during the last few yeavs had not cement come into such general use. The Forester replies in pars as follows:
 "The Forest Service is watching with a great deal of interest the in- creasing use of cement and other sub- stitutes for wood. They are undouot- edly having some influence on the price of lumber, though l do not think that up to the present time they have greatly retarded the advance in
 lumber prices. The fact is that our industrial progress has been so great that our requirem ents for every kind of structural material have increased tremendously. We are using at the present time more lumber per capita than ever before and probably twice as much per capita as we did fifty years ago. The conclusion can not be escaped therefore, that in the future we must depend more than in the past on other materials than wood for cer- tain purpose at least. As to the in- crease that will take place in the production of cement, my impression is that it will he very great"
 If the increase in the use of cement in the United States in past years is to be regarded as any index to it's fu- ture use, the conclusions of the For ester are well founded. The statistics of the production of minerals show that our output of cement has more than doubled in the last five years. and it is we'll. known that it's use is being very widely extended. This is due to the two conditions: in the irst place. excellent cement materials are common in almost all sections of [ he country; in the second place, re- inforced concrete for heavy building material is receiving increased favor among engineers, while in the country regions large amounts of ce- ment are being used for building blocks for smaller structures. Re- ports received by the Survey during the six years from 1902 to 1907 show that the production of cement in the United States has increased from 25, GOO, GOO barrels, valued at approxi- mately 9, GOO, GOO to 51,000, GOO bar- rels valued at s55, 900, GOO, the annual statistics showing a steady increase in production with some slight Auctu- ations in price.

EVERYBODY GET BUSY.

A study of the general mining situ- ation shows most encouraging prom. ises for material improvement, and the upward trend is already in evil dence. All authorities agree that while there is no liklihood of an im- mediate return to wild boom. condi- tions mining will enjoy a substantial prosperity, beneficial alike to the in- dustry and to those directly or ndi- rectly interested in it.. ~
 Already there has been in evidence reflection, in the securities, of the improved physical conditions in var ious camps. We have acordinglyc seen, during what has been generally regarded as the dullest of business periods, an activity in listed mining securities which is certainly most en- couraging to contemplate. We would mention the stocks of the camps of Cobalt, Goldheld, Ely, Tintic, Uaah; and there are others. In each case the activity in the securities has been reflection of the improved physical showing at the camps.
 And considering the fact that there has already been an activity in mining securities, what may we, with good reason, expect of them now that the general business outlook is so much | ri ghter and improving all the time?
 The general shaking down, the purging, and the effecting of econom- ies in all lines of commercial and in- dustrial undertaking has had the same benefcent effect upon mining, as well as upon the public offerings represent ing this industry. This, in itself, is a hopeful sign, representing, as it does, that any activity or progress under the new conditions will be more sub> tantially fo, n led, l,consequent- ly, more lasting.
 All signs are that mining will be the very first to feel the returning confidence of capital; that, according ly, there will be resumption of inn provement and development work in the various camps, and also that new fields will be exploited. As it is, splendid reports are to hand from the older camps which have not been de- pendent upon new capital, or where the lower prices for their metallic output have not been prohibitive to profitable production. In sev eral cases there is being made a. heavier tonnage from the camps than ever before. The record uf our mines for the year will be a great surprise to many, and the indications are that the new year will be entered with flying start for pro- ducton of the precious metals.
 The added diversion from business of the election apparently proved the last straw to break the back of the financial disturbances, and now that the election is thing of the past there is in evidence generally desire to "get busy" It is a form of spon- staneous resumption characteristic of our people, and every good citizen should spread the "get busy" senti- ment by himself setting the good ex- ample. Mining people generally should, and they will be, seen to the fore in this movement, for there is now presented an opportunity for this great industry which they cannot fail to appreciate.

The steamer Dolphin is expected to

The steamer Dolphin is expected to take about 5000 cases of salmon from the Ketchikan cannery on her down trip, while the Humboldt is counted upon to clean up all the halibut and fresh salmon waiting on the wharves for shipment.
 Walter Thomas has Heckman floating trap set in the Narrows, be- tween Wards cove and Point Higgins, for halibut and spring salmon. It has "herring pot" attachment for which he will endeavor to supply bait for the halibut fishermen, and for which he expects to have considerable de- mand-especially when the New Eng land Fish company, commences fishing operations from this place.
 Several local sportsmen left town in the wee small hours of yesterday morning, and intending to bring in a boat load of game, big and little, but they soon realized that something more than the will of man was re- auired to make a successful trip of the kind, for they had progressed but short distance when something went wrong with the engine-then the pump refused to work, then the steer ing gear rebelled, then the pump slip. ped another cog, so to speak, and after wrestling unsuccessfully with all these obstacles interposed against their progress, they concluded to pro- gress backward and succeeded in get ting back home again late last night. They say, however, that they will try l it again.
 The bazaar and sale held by the l Woman's Guild of s. Johns mission church proved very successful one, netting a sum a little in excess of slOO. The ladies desire to extend their thanks to Mir. Ashcroft who so kindly contributed to the success of the entertainment with songs and rercitations, and to several of the business men who contributed goods and articles for the sale.
 CARD OF THANKS. We wish to thank Mrs. Burkhart and the other kind friends who offer- ed their loving sympathy and beauti' ful flowers at the death of our friend and brother, Charles Shock.

 and family.
 Thos. Johnson of the Admiral, more 'popularly known as ''Tom, y and than whom Ketchikan has nc more highly esteemed citizen, accom- panied by his good and equally popu- lar better half, will depart on the sailing of the Princess May to spend the balance of the winter in Cali. fornia whither he goes in the hope oi beneftting his health. Their many friends will join The Miner in the sincere hope tn at he may find that which the genial Tom" goes ir search of and return in due time ir renewed health and vigor.
 The steam launch St. Anthony re- turned yesterday from the west coast of Prince of Wales where she went several weeks ago carrying pros- pecting and hunting party consisting of J. NJ. Fisher, her owner and mast CT, B. F. Smith, her licensed engin. eer, and Messrs. P. Delaney and B. Roberts. The St. Anthony is 36 feet long, and that she is staunch craft may be surmised from the fact that she came back from the west coast around Cape Chacon, by way of Duke

THE LOCAL FIELD
(From Thursdays Daily

Mir. Denjamne Harney Bennetts superintendent of the Hadley shelter, called at The Miner office yesterday, for the express purpose, as he declar- cd, saying . good word for the 5. John's hospital here in Ketchikan and of the kindly care and attention ac- coroed to its patients by Dr. J. L. Myers. When informed that Dr. Myers was personally averse to news paper encomium, other than mere casual mention in an ordinary way, he persisted in the good words he de- sired to say concerning that gentle mans not only professional ability but more than kindly and patient care for those committed to his care, and sug- gested that the good Doctor could not be supposed to seriously object to public expression of the unsought for opinion of others like himself. So The Miner leaves the matter for final adjustment between the two gentle men theselves.
 Hotel arrivals: Royal-Ole Olson, J. Barnes. Connell-D. B. Williams, H. Brook. Smith.

 George Brown will go to Karta bay, on the launch Taku, accompanied by his wife. Mir. Brown goes to that place for the purpose of doing some work on the Rush and Brown mining property.
 Mir. George Rounsfell was obliged to kill a valuable COW yesterday, which was suffering from an illness beyond the reach of the veterinary, and would otherwise have died a natural death.
 The steamer Northland may be ex- pected to arrive here Sunday on her return trip from Sitka and other northern ports, and will take such consignmerts of fresh halibut and sal mon as the buyers have on hand awaiting transportation.
 A. A. Wakefield and Lee Williams, are preparing to do some prospecting work on the old Birdseye location just below Saxman. The location is near the waters edge and the ledge is reported to carry good values in gold and silver.
 Mir. and Mrs. H. c. Strong will sail on the Humboldt tonight for Seattle to be absent couple of weeks. From Seattle Mir. Strong will go to Ladysmith to look after the unloading of the cargo of ore, which is to be shipped from the It mine in the Hen. riette, and to be present while it is being smelted and make settlement.

 The officers gun was on table six feet away. As he sprang to get il Walters fired. the bullet hitting him in his right arm. He fired again but the sister of Lowthian struck his arm with an umbrella and the bullet went into a desk. Lowthian got his gun and fired five times three shots taking effect. The first one struck Walters ssn, the bullet passing through his hand. The office is in the center of the city and the shooting caused much excitement. Walters will probably die.

A SENATOR
 LIES DEAD
The Sudden Passing of MT. Proctor of Vermont
He Gave Way Yesterday Under an Attack of Grippe.

Washington, March 4-SenatOr Proc
 tor, of Vermont, died in his apartments as the Champlain this afternoon after short illness, following an attack of grippe. The senator's son. Gov Flet- cher Proctor of Vermont, who had
 been summoned to the city. was at his bedside when the senator passed away.
 Senator Proctor was 77 years of age He had. been i'll and confined to his
 room in the ChamDlain apartments for
 about week. His ailment, diagnosed
 as grippe, later developed into pIeuri-
 sy with pneumonia complications,
 which affected his heart and in his en- feebled condition proved too much for his powers of endurance. Besides his son, Governor Proctor, the governors
 wife and several intimate friends were at his bedside when death came.
 The senator's body will be taken to
 his old home at ProctorvilIe, Vermont
 The senator has been in feeble health ever since the assembling of congress and it was remarked by his friends
 that for the first time he failed to re-
 turn from his usual fishing trip in the high state of health which he usually
 enjoyed His condition became alarm ing toda- and members of the family
 were notified that the end was near
 During the da. his colleagues in the senate learned for the first time of the
 dangerous turn his illness had taken. News oc his death reached -the senate a few minutes alters o'clock. Senator
 Warren. chairman of the committee on
 military affairs. was then urging the
 passage oe the bill to increase the pay of the army which was a measure that for many years had attracted the in
 terest of the late Vermont senator. He had advocated the putting of the army
 on an equality with the navy in regard
 to the pay oe the enlisted man.
 No announcement of his death was made to the senate but the Information
 was communicated to Vice President Fairbanks. who immediately advised MT Warren. MT. Warren asked that the pending bill be laid aside for the day. The senate adjourned but it was not desired formally to announce
 the death oe Senator Proctor for the reason that it was thought best to lay aside business for an entire day in re- spect to the senator's memory. There fore, the official announcement will be made tomorrow by Senator Dilling- ham. MT. Proctor's colleague from Yer mont.
 While definite funeral arrangements
 have not yet been made MT. Proctor's
 body will be sent tomorrow evening to Proctorville. Vermont. for interment on ETrid hn nf gross meet tomorrow at noon. official announcement will be made of the
 death and an adjournment will be talk
 en as a mark of respect. The vice. president and the speaker of the house
 will appoint committees to accompany the bOd:- to Vermont.

RENEWED NEGOTIATIONS
 10 SETTLE A STRIKE
Probability of a Compromise of the San Francisco Marine Engineers Tie-U2.

San Francisco, Mar. 4.-Negotiations looking to the settlement of differences between the Marine Engineers asso- citation and the steam schooners own CTS of the coast will be opened to- morrow when new committee from the engineers will call upon the own CTS committee and ask that a confer ence be held for a settlement. The engineers are prepared to make con- sessions. It is expected that the con- ference will put in motion the fleet of lumber carrying steam schooners which have been laid up for six weeks pending a settlement of the contro- versy.
 Just what the basis of compromise will be is not definitely decided. It is understood that the engineers will go to the owners prepared to arbltrate the dispute upon the basis of indicated horsepower of the vessels, together with the distances required on the va rious voyages. The owners stated that they would arbitrate on this new basis and there is a likelihood that a com promise will be effected before the end of the week.
 It is understood that the engineers will insist upon a full crew for long voyages. but will meet the owners half way concerning ships travelling short distances. It was learned today that the owners sent to the Marine Engi neers' association at Cleveland asking for fifty engineers. The Cleveland as- sOciation wired to the local association to learn if there was any trouble. Be- ing informed that there is no engineers will be sent from the east

MR. HtYBURN'S ASSAULT
 ON THE ALDRICH BILL
He Sees In It Only a Dose for One Who
 Has Recovered His Health
An Intimation That the Measure Was Drawn to Serve Purpose of Financial Jugglers-VOte May be Had Next Wednesday.

Washington, Mar. 4-Currency legis- lation was the subject of consideration in the senatetoday. Senator Heyburr opposed the Aldrich bill. He declared that it was useless and that he would not vote for it. MT. Hepburn laid great stress upon what he Geciared the wrong principle of allowing security to be used as q basis for an emergency circulation. He declared that only bonds that had a taxing power back of them should be used for that pur- pose. The passage of the bill now, he said was like giving man medicine after he had recovered from an illness. He said that the sO-called panic was only a nightmare. If financiers were given to understand that they cannot depend upon the government for as sistance in such cases they would be more apt to conduct their affairs on a sound basis thus preventing panies. He took the ground that a result of the bill might be to supplant the pres ent currency with emergency bills as the bills once in circulation could not readily be called back.
 Let us say to those financial jug glers." said Mir. Hepburn, you are not to have more currency when you have Unlawfully used the money you have had. nor an elastic currency that shall be in keeping with your consciences.
 He said he had never felt his breast swell with gratitude toward the finan- ciers in New York who had been given credit for saving the situation.
 MT. Hopkins spoke at length in sup port of tne bill. MT. Bailey stated he would speak on the currency bill on Monday. Mir. Depew will speak on Friday. MT. Aldrich said he hoped to have vote on the measure next We'd nesday. After these addresses had been made the bill to increase the pay of the army was considered and the senate adjourned

PROOF 10 MARE ISLAND
 THAT IFS BIG ENOUGH
The BattIeshiDs Have Been Ordered to
 Dock There For Repairs.

Vallejo. Cal. March At was. learn ed here that the Connecticut. Rear Admiral Evans flagship and seven other battleships will come to Mare Island upon their arrival at San Fran cisco. These ships will he docked at San Francisco and then come to the navy yard for repairs which are eX- Pected to be extensive after their long cruise.
 All the auXiliaTies except one of the entire torpedo flOtilla will be docked and repaired al Mare Island. The re- maining eight battleships and one aux Hilary will go to Bremerton for dock ing and repiars.
 Much qualification is felt here over the coming of the battleships as it demonstrates that the approach to the yard is sufficient for any of the ships of the navy No battleships have heretofore come nearer than to the Mare Island light.
