Roosevelt, who has tried to help
them, and their love for Foraker,
who tries to use them, is, after
all, no more nor loss than was to
be expected"
In this connection the follow
ing from The Hartford, Conn.
Courant, is of interest:
THE Washington papers say
that more negroes focked to
hear Mr.. Foraker's speech on
the Brownsville affair than were
ever before seen in the Senate
chamber. They were on hand
before the doors were opened,
and they quickly packed all the
galleries save those reserved for
the families of Senators and for
the diplomatic corps.
They applauded Mr.. Foraker
uproariously at the close of his
speech; when the amiable Mr..
Fairbanks said something about
clearing the galleries if the rules
we're violated in that way, they
hooted him. Then followed even
a greater storm of applause, says
one report; it was not ended fol
several minutes Mr.. Fairbanks
did not clear the galleries, how
ever. He ignored the insult anC
tacitly sanctioned the precedent
I'VE do not recall any occur
renee like that in the cham be-
; since the winter of 1861. On tn,
) earlier occasion referred to, tn
r offenders against the Senate
r rules and dignity were whit
men. They defantly applaude'

Senator FOraker's Activity POlit-
IcaI and PersOnaI-COnduct OF
Negroes in Senate Chamber.
Charlotte Observer.
No man of sense is to be de-
ceived by Senator Foraker's &C
tivity in behalf of the negroes
who shot up Brownsville. His
purposes are political and per-
sonal: ID to attach the negro vote
of the countryside balance Of
power in several of the States of
of the North-to himself; and ~
to ALLEVIATE it from the President
and Secretary Taft, both ofwhom
stand in the way of his ambition
and both of whom he therefore
hates. Taking for it's subject
his latest performance, The
Louisville Courier-Journal we'll
remarks:
1t was peculiarly appropriate
that Senator Foraker's Browns
vile speech was made to q large
audience of negroes in the gal
leries. Mr.. Foraker is distinct
ly a gallery god in the present
campaign. Since the Browns
vile incident he has waved the
administration in the faces of
the negroes, and it has proven
as potent for promoting violent
emotions as a red rag waved in
the face of a bull The negroes
have not yet learned, and perhaps
will never learn, to know their
friends and to distinguish their
enemies in politics.
In the Brownsville affair Pres
ident Roosevelt seemed clearly
to be right. By a stretch o.
the imagination it might be as
sumed that he was wrong, but ir
no event can it be sincerely con
tended that he drew color line
He merely melted out what seem
ed to be merited punishment tt
soldiers who had disgraced theil
uniform. Had the soldiers beef
white the 'hallabaloo' would reve
have occurred. Because the,
were black the incident furnish
ed ammunition for Mr.. Foraker
who all eady had his war pain
on.

Money I'm the Hog Business.

Many ranchers of this section are
considering the advisability of going
into the hog business as means OF
getting rid of the surplus of grain
produced in this section. The plan is
doubtless a good one and Will not only
create a market for the grain, but
will prove a most profitable venture.
Judging by the experience Of those
who have tried 1t, a good deal more
than present net prices can be se7
cured out OF our wheat by feeding II
to hogs.
one great obstacle to hog raising on
an extensive plan in this section has
been the question OF water, but that
is being solved by the drilling Of deep
wells.
Crook county, and in fact central
Oregon, is at present producing very
small percentage Of the pork pro-
ducts consumed by It, and offers a
ready market for all the ham, bacon
and lard that can be produced in this
section. There is money in 1t for the
hog raiser and for the farmer, and II
will keep at home the thousands of
dollars sent out every year in pay
ment of imported pork products.

DIMINISHING TIMBER SUPPLY.
Over 10000, 10000 of Timber Used
I'm the Year 1907.

The agricultural department has is
sued the following bulletin showing
the decrease in the timber supply of
the United States:
Since 1880 the sources of lumber
supply have undergone remarkable
changes. The first change was in the
regions from which the principal
kinds of lumber were produced, and
this was followed by the substitution
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 20
years ago. In 1899 nine states
Michigan. Pennsylvania, Wisconsin,
New York. Texas, Arkansas NJ ssis-
sippi Louisiana and Washington
produced 52.S per cent, or more than
half of the total lumber production
of the United States.
In 1908 these states produced 515
per cent, practically the same propor-
ton. but the changes which have. tax
en- place In the output Of individual
states are very striking. Michigan
for insance, cut 2S per cent of the
total in 1880 and but Sc per cent IN
1906: Louisiana cut OF per cent of
the total in 1880 and rs per cent In
1906; Washington furnished but O.s
per cert of the lumber production OF
1880 and Ills per cent OF that OF
1906. The cutting out of the virgin
timber in the north and east has been
followed by increased drains upon
the forest resources of the south and
west.
Despite these conditions the
amount of timber required has in
creased year by year. The increase
in consumption of timber since 1851
has been more rapid than the in
crease of the population and greater
than in any similar period in the his
tory of the country. This shows In
a striking manner how much the ma
ton depends upon forest products
and indicates how greatly all inter-
ests must suffer as lumber becomes
scarcer and dearer
Statistics gathered by the bureau or
census and the forest service show
that the quantities of timber used
last year for lumber. shingles, ues'
cooperage stock, mine
timbers. lath, distillation, veneer
poles, tanning and turpentine and
rosin, expressed in board feet, reach
a total of approximately so billion
hoard feet

Scott Nesbit, the paper man, has
just returned from a trip to Burns

lures of the trip is the long sleigh
ride. From here to Austin the trip is

and from there to Burns II is a stage

snow on the ground. At present
there is sufficient snow to make
sleighing excellent and for 65 miles

often and the time made over the
snow was surprisingly fast.-Baker

will form an important addition TO
Californias fruit product. So conf
dent of commercial success are those
who have been watching the date ex-
periments, that considerable plant

The region selected for the expert

why it should not be covered with
