Plans Are Indefinite.

1t is not known whether many of
the brewerys workmen will accom-
pany the company when they move to
Hammond. The plan here is non-union.
while in West Hammond they will
probably be compelled to run union
brewery, which will necessarily in
crease their pay roll quite an amount.
II is rumored that the plan here will
not be dismantled but will be kept in
its present condition, awaiting an en-
Urgency, and in the event of their leav-
ing this section of the county it is said
that other breweries will make strong
bid for the business now controlled by
the local concern.

record. These are the demand for
POSTS. fuel and domestic purposes, re-
garding which it is more difficult to OBJ
tain information, because the products
often pass through no market, but are
consumed on the farm where they We're
produced. Careful estimates, however,
place the total of wood used for fuel
alone at AN equivalent of so million
board feet year.
1t will be seen, then, that the present
consumption of wood i'll all forms is
above 100 billion board feet annually.
Estimating the forest area of the Unit
ed States at from 500 to 700 million
acres, and the annual growth at 60
board feet per acre, the yearly increase
is from 80 to AZ billion feet At this
rate, the annual growth barely equals
the amount consumed for lumber alone.
Considering all the drains, the annual
consumption of wood is probably three
times the annual growth. Detailed es-
Inmates of standing timber range from
400 to 1000 billion feet. Using the
larger figure, and considering the an
nual growth of 40 billion feet, it APP
pears that there is not more than 80
years supply of timber in this coun-
try at the present rate of consumption.
At present only about % per cent OF
our total forest area is in State or
National Forests, the remainder belrg
unreserved public lands or in private
hands. The forest area is amply suffi-
cient. if rightly managed, to produce
eventually enough timber to supply all
our needs. Yet private owners, as well
as the state and national govern
ments, must use their forest lands in a
right way if We are to maintain our
timber supply.
Circular 1923, just issued by the For
est service, contains a discussion of
the drains upon the forests and the
sources and the duration Of the timber
supply. This publication will be sent
free upon application to the forester,

FOR A NEW STEAMER.
fPendleton TribuLe.)

Quite as important as the extension
of some railroad lines is the occasional
building of a new steamer on the Co
lumbia river. While many sections of
the country are retarded by withhold
ing the construction. of railroad lines
through them, the entire northwest re-
gion is directly benefited by the i'm
provement Of the Columbia river or the
building of a new boat to ply upon its
waters.
Recognizing this fact, the people of
Kennewick. Wash. recently raised by
subscription. the sum of $4,000 for the
purpose OF purchasing an old steamer
on the Columbia and remodeling it for
the purpose of engaging in the trans
portatio1 business. but fen days ago

The Drain Upon the Forests.


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 procured, and tlis 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 Is years ago. In 1880
nine states-Michigan. Pennsylvania,
Wisconsin. New York. Texas, Arkansas
Mississippi, Louisiana. and Washing
ton-produced SIS per cent. or more
than half of the total lumber produc-
ton of the United States. II. 1906 these
ly tie same proportion. but the changes
which have takeT. place in the output
|of individual states are very striking.
Michigan, for instance, cut % per cert
of the total in 1880 and but Sc per cent

the total in 1880 and rs per cent in
1906; Louisiana cut CT per cent of the
total in 1880 and rs per cent in 1906;
Washington furnished but 90 per cent
of the lumber production of 1880 and

State Superintendent G. p. Cary be-
gan sending out to the public schools
copies of the Arbor and Bird day an
nual of 1908. The book was compiled
by State Library Clerk o. S. Rice and
contains 112 pages of highly interest
ing matter The cover is highly
artistic and was designed by Clara
Byron of the Milwaukee Art Students
league. On page two is Gov. David
sons Arbor and Bird day proclama-
ton, designating May 8 as Arbor and
Bird Gay this year: The proclamation
is as follows:
BY authority OF law, and in harmony
with Established custom, I, j: o. David
son, governor of the state of Wisconsin,
designate Friday, May 8, as Arbor and
Bird day.
1t behooves us that the youth of our
land shall have knowledge of the value
of the trees and the birds, and in order
that they may become familiar with their
purposes and use, and their great value
to mankind, Arbor day has been estab-
lished We must teach the children that
the flowers, the trees, and the birds have
need of their protection and care, and
this sentiment should be fully cultivated
within them.
To assist in attaining this end, it is rec
commended that Arbor day be observed
as largely as possible by the planting of
trees, flowers and shrubs at our homes,
our school grounds, and our parks, which
shall serve to increase their 2beauty, and
foster in the minds of the young a love
of nature.

that the food served to the inmates
of the reformatory was poor and in
adequate, the state board of control
filed with Gov. Davidson the bill of
fare for each meal. The meats are
furnished by the big packing COM
panies under contract, and are of the
same high quality as those used at
the state insane asylum and state
schools. The average amount of meat
served each day for each inmate of
the reformatory last week was $40
ounces. Meat was served three times
a day except on Friday, when fresh
fish was substituted for it at dinner.
The bill of fares show both variety
and abundance of food at each meal,
probably better than is furnished at
many private homes in the state. Be-
fore leaving Madison young Holdridge
confessed that he had lied about the
treatment and food at the reformatory
in order to escape serving another SEN
tence for violating the federal law by
selling unstamped cigars. Three mem

new buildings at the state prison at

around the prison. The board will
build an addition to the female prison,
enlarge the power plant of the insti-

binding Irvine factory. The board will
consider these matters at a meeting
