is paid. The first year that this
fertilizer tax was required the sales
were 213 900. last year the sales
had Increased to $4,000 tons.
But all records have been brok on
in the sales OF 1909 Up to May

been $169,554. against $151 ,O61 for
the same time last year; an increase
of $1S.493. or 1892 tons
The receipts so far for this year
are within $2.6SO of the total for
last year. and If the business for the
remainder OF this year is as good

LUMBER LOBBY
HAD BIG sum OF MONEY TO
SPEND TO CARRY THEIR
Scheme of Protecting Lumber i'm the
Tariff Bill Through Congress i'm
Washington.

Zach McGee. the wide awake
washington correspondent of the
Columbia State. says it develops now
that the lumber lobby which has
been operating with considerable
energy during the present tariff-m.L
ing session OF congress, has been sup
ported most lavishly by the lumber
manufacturers.
AN assessment was made on each
sawmill i'm the various associations
OF 81 for each $1,000 feet of daily
cut. The lumber manufacturers of
the state of Oregon and Washington
oelohglng TO one particular associa-
tion We're assessed $4,000. but so
iar they have paid only $4,000. and
they are being vigorously pressed to
pay the rest
Some of the advocates of tree lum-
Der here are declaring that the fail
ure to pay the assessment is evil
dence that the real pressure for pro-
lection on lumber Is not so much
from the sawmill people as from the
timber syndicates, who own most of
the stumpage.
There is plenty of money. how
ever, for the lobby. 1t is estimated
that 100000 was raised to main
tain the special lobby here to try to
Keep the present rates of 81 n thou
sand on rough lumber and the cor
responding high rates on other
grades.
This does not include the cxpcns-
es of special delegations sent here
by lumber organizations in various
States and the expenses of individu-
al lumbermen who have come here
for the purpose of influencing con
gressmen from their own State
number of lobbyists have been in and
about the capital ever since last
fall.
Some weeks ago. while the hnl

Dispatches from Marash, Asiatic

account continue to be received there
from the countryside of the Arme-

Mohamedans. who, acting on the sup
position that the Armenians were
rising against government, were
quick TO strike the first blow.
Men were killed whenever found
within reach of knife or bullet
Girls were often maltreated. and
some OF them were carried of to
become the wives or slaves of rich
men.
Houses We're ransacked and then
burned. Farm animals were driven
on and small parties of horsemen
rode through the country cleaning
up the Armenians"
The whole country is ruined by
the destruction of the farms and the
homes of the people, thousands OF
whom were killed by the blood-thirs-
ty Turks. Everything portable has
been stolen and carried off by the
thleving and murderous Turks.
FAMILIES are completely brok-
en- up, and it is estimated that at
least one hundred thousand people
have been murdered or carried off
into captivity. which is worse than
death.
No one was spared. Even infants
at the breast were torn to pieces
by the demons, and women were
reserved for worse fate than death.
Half of the stories of the horrible
butcheries have not reached the
outer world because the Turkish
authorities refuse to let many of
them pass the telegraph or postofIice
