NOW LEADS LUMBER
PRODUCING STATES
Washington, Which in 1899 Stood
Sixth, is Now at the Head,
While Wisconsin Stands
Third on List

More lumber was cut in the United
States last year than in any other year
in it's history. The enormous amount
of 37.550736 board feet was produced
and the mill value of this was $62l, l5l'-
3sS In addition, there were produced
Il, 1858, coo shingles, valued at S24,-
Isl, 555, and 3,S12, S07 900 lath valued at
81 .490,57O. On the whole. it is safe to
saw that the present annual lumber cut
of the United States approximates 4O,-
eco OO0, 900 feet, and that the total mill
value of the lumber lath and shingles
each year produced is not less than
$500 900. 900. These figures give some
idea of how vast is the lumber indus
try and how great is the demand for its
products.
A glance at the kinds of lumber pro-
duced shows very clearly the passing
of white pine and oak, one the greatest
softwood and the other the greatest
hardwood which the forest has ever
grown. Since 1899 the cut of white pine
has fallen off more than 40 per cent.
while that of white oak has fallen or
more than SO per cent. Today yellow
nine leads all other woods in amount
cut, while Douglas fir-and this Will be
a surprise to many-comes second
Since 1899 the cut of Douglas fr mas
increased 1856 per cent. Louisiana 10
the foremost yGilOW pune StdlSf WIZ
Texas, Mississippi and Arkansas fol-
lowing in order. Washington produces
by far the greatest amount OF Douglas
fiji.
A comparison of the lumber produc-
ing states shows that since 1899 there
have been many changes in their rela-
tive rank Washington, which in 1893
stood sixth, now leads, while Wiscon-
sin, which eight years ago led all 9TH
ers, is now third. In the same period
Oregon, Louisiana, Mississippi, Idaho
and California made great strides as
Timber producing states, though, on
the other hand. the amount produced
in Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota
Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Missou-
ri. Indiana and Ohio fell off anywhere
from 80 to 54 per cent.
The highest priced native woods are
walnut, hickory and ash, while the
cheapest are larch and white fir. From
the fact, however, that since 1899 the
average increase in the price of lumber
has been 40 per cent, il will not be long
efore cheap woods are few and far
between.
Figures upon the lumber cut of the
United States are contained in circular
122 of the forest service, which can be
had upon application to the forester,

tllre, Washington, D. C.

count of the illness of Mr.. Witherspoon.
He has had great success in the north.
1 hear Miss Dora de Philippe made a
beautiful Madam Butterfly and sang
the role very artistically-but oh, the
tenor Hubbell! He was even worse
than Donatti. With only one good
tenor, the Savage company is very
much crippled without Joseph Sheean,'
the Irish tenor, although l think YER
non Stiles more artistic and better
suited to the part of Pinkerton than
any tenor 1 have ever heard, and Will
watch with great interest his opera
career. He is capable of great things.
A concert will be given at the First
Congregational church tonight. William
Mead is the director.
The orchestra will be assisted by
Archibald Sessions and Abraham Mill
Ter. A pleasing program is promised.
Hunyady's ''Lazzlo," a Carmen suite
and "Arno,' by the orchestra. Mr..
Sessions will play a meditation,
"Stabat Mater and an allegro, both
by Guilmant. Mr.. Miller will sing

CAMP AT COBB.
Belief That Soldiers Have
Moved to Caldwell County.

Several changes have been made
in military circles this week.
A Murray dispatch says four Hart
ford men at Murray, several from
Eddyville and four from Benton,
making one-third of Company H on
duty, have been sent home.
The camps at Rock Castle and
Golden Pond in Trigg county have
been abandoned, or soon will be.
Some of the Trigg county troops ar
rived here the first of the week and
left Thursday afternoon, it is be-
lieved, for Cobb, Caldwell county,
where it is likely a permanent camp
will be established.
The latest depredations in Western
Kentucky are reported to have taken
place some weeks ago in the terrific
ry between Cerulean Springs and
Cobb. There is a persistent rumor
that young farmer near the Cald-
we'll county line was taken out of his
house on the night of May II by
night riders and has not been heard
from since, or had not week or
two ago. One theory is that he was
as he had been previously
Again on the night of
June IL a barn in the same neighbour
hood was destroyed in the night by
fire, weile the owner was away.
1t is reported that the people of
Cobb are very much opposed to hay
ing soldiers stationed there and that
they will refuse to sell the camp any
supplies of any kind.

The Man Behind the Pillow.

There's been lot to about the man
behind the gun,
And folks have praised him highly
for the noble work he's done;
He won lot of honor for the land
where men are free
1t was him that sent the Spaniards
kitin' back across the sea.
But he's had his day of glory, had
his little spree. and now
There's another to be mentioned
he's the man behind the pillow.
A battleship's wonder and an ar
my's mighty grand,
And warrin's profession only -un-
derstand;
There's something sort o. thrillin' in
a flag that's wavin' high,
And it makes you want to holler
when the boys go marchin' by;
But when the shoutin's over and the
fightin's done, somehow
We find we're still dependin' on the
man behind the pillow.
They sing about the glories of the
man behind the gun,
And the books are full of stories of
the wonders he has done;
The world has been made over by the
fearless ones who fight; ~.
Lands that used to be in darkness
they have opened to the light;
When Gods children snarl the soldier
has to settle up the row,
And folks haven't time for. thinkin
of the man behind the plow.
In all the pomp and splendor of an
army on parade,
And through all the awful darkness
that the smoke of battles made;
IN the halls where jewels glitter and
where shoutin' men debate;
n the palaces where rulers deal out
houses to the great,
There is not single person who'd
be doing business now
)r have medals if it wasn't for the
man behind the pillow.
We're a-buildin' mighty cities and
we're gainin' lofty heights;
We're a-winnin' lots of glory ard |
and we're settin' things to rights;
We're a-showin' all creation how the |
worlds affairs should run;
'uture men'll gaze in wonder at the
things that we have done,
And they'll overlook the Teller, Just
as we do now,
Who's the whole concerns founda-
tion-that's the man behind the
pillow. IS. E. Kiser.
