 Him to Return.

New York, Feb. 8.--The whereabouts of Charles w. Morse was still mys- tery Friday, notwithstanding rumors that he was in this city as late as Wednesday night. United States Dis trict Attorney Stimson has requested Morse's counsel, Albert B. Boardman, to ascertain where Morse had gone and induce him to return. Mir. Board man cabled to Liverpool to intercept Morse If he should arrive on the steamer Campania Saturday
 Mrs Morse said Friday that her hus- band sailed for Europe on the Cam pania and that she accompanied him to the steamer a few minutes before the departure.
 "Mr Morse Is coming back on the Campania on her next trip" added Mrs. Morse 'The voyage was under taken in order that he might have a rest and recover some of his nerve force, which has been badly shattered by his troubles. He is a fighting man, and he will be back to face anything necessary. I sent MT. Morse wire less message Friday. We will soon hear from him. MT. Boardman tells me that his affairs are not so bad as common report makes them. Many of Mir. Morse's friends, whom he made rich, have deserted him in his trouble. Others have stood by him. l shall re main right here in New York until he returns"
 Ten banks and one trust company. on which attachments had been served
 by National Bank Examiner Hanna,
 to cover any funds or securities which
 Morse might have on deposit with | them, made sworn statements Friday
 that they had no property belonging to Morse. Several other banks and
 trust companies on which similar at
 tachments have been served have not
 yet reported.
 | After Mrs. Morse told a representa-
 tive of the sheriff Friday that all the
 furniture in Morse's fifth avenue home
 belonged to her, the keepers were withdrawn from the house.

Greatest Lumber Cut.

More lumber was cut in the Unit ed States last year than in any other year in its history. The enormous amount of 37, $50 736 board feet was produced, and the mill value of this was $621, ,151, 1888. In addition, there were produced 11,85S, 260, 900 shingles. valued at SPA, ,155, ,555, and 3.812, ,s07 900 lath, valued at $1l- 490,570. On the. whole, it is safe to say the present annual lumber cut of United States approximates 40 billion feet. and that the total mill value of the lumber. lath and shingles each. year produced is not less than $700,000,000. These fig ures give some idea of how vast is the lumber industry and how great is the demand for its products.
 A glance at the kinds of lumber produced 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 off more than 36 per cent. Today yellow pine leads all other woods in amount cut, while Douglas fir-and this will be surprise to many-comes second. Since 1899 the cut of Douglas fir has increased 1S6 per cent. Louisiana is the foremost yellow pine state, with Texas. Mississippi and Arkan- sas following in order. Washington produces by far the greatest amount of Douglas fir.
 A comparison of lumber-produc- ing states shows that since 1899 there have been many changes in their relative rank. Washington, which in 1899 stood sixth, now leads, while Wisconsin, which eight years ago led all others, is now third. In the same period Oregon, Louisiana, Mississippi, Idaho and California made great strides as lumber-pro- l ducing states, though. on the other hand. the amount produced in Michigan. Wisconsin, Minnesota, Georgia. Kentucky, Tennessee, Mis- souri, Indiana and Ohio fell off any where iron 29 to 54 per cent.
 The highest-priced native woods are walnut, hickory and ash and the cheapest are larch and white fir From the fact, however, that since 1899 the average increase in the price of lumber has been 49 per cent; il will not be long before cheap woods are few and far between.
 Figures upon the lumber cut oi the United States in 1906 are con.
 tained in Circular 122 of the Forest 1 Service, which can be had upon ap plication to the Forester, United

Jim Sears is still after former Secre.
tary OF State Dunbar, and the case is
now being threshed out In Judge
dalloway's court In Salem. Sears
contends that Dunbar was entitled to
collect no more than his constitutional
salary while serving the state, and
that he should be compelled to turn
over all fees to the state treasury.
Dunbar Is fighting to retain the fees,
claiming that in putting them In his
pocket he was clearly within his
rights and was but following the
precedent set by long line of Secre.
taries before him. 1t is said that
Dunbar's attorneys are willing to
stlpulate that the fees amounted to
$4,000. Sears attorneys believe that
they amounted to nearly twice that
sum. The outcome OF the case will be
awaited with considerable interest by
the taxpayers.

The new ruling OF the PostoiIlce
Department which limits the length
OF time newspaper may be sent TO a
subscriber after the expiration OF the
paid subscription, is going to Prove
popular with the reading public. The
OBSERVER mailed out statements OF
account Wednesday to all subscribers
who were In arrears, aud was kept
busy all day yesterday writing
receipts for money. These subscribers,
without a single exception. expressed
their hearty approval OF the new plan.
80 far we have not lost a subscription.
and judging from present indications
It does not seem likely that we will.
In conducting a credit business, this
paper has always endeavored 10 use
judgment as TO whose names were
placed on the list aud whose were lef,
on, and by so doing we have kept sub
scription losses down TO the minimum.
II the new ruling Of the Department
Is satisfactory TO the subscribers. il is
certain that IL will be welcomed by the
publishers. Any business man would
rather do business for cash than on
credit basis. even though his losses on
bad debts be kept at the lowest notch.
So it would appear that the Depart.
ment is satisfied and the readers aud
publishers nrc satished-a case Of
satisfaction all around.
