Circulation Double That of Any
Other South Mississippi Paper
ACTION WAS DISAPPOINTING.

The action of the committee appoint.
ed to make arrangements for the i'm
provement of certain streets, is dis
appointing to say the least. To be-
gin with another alderman should
have been appointed if Mr.. Lasseter
could not serve. The result last night
is just what many citizens predicted;
that there would be a policy of delay
which would in the end Illustrate the
wishes of the people.
The News is willing to give the
committee a chance to consult the
county commissioners, though the de
lay will probably mean that the cot
ton season will be over before the
work is done.
Until the committee has a chance 10
see the county commissioners, the
News will believe that those who op-
posed Messrs Mckenzie and McGraw
are acting in good faith. Any further
delay after that time will be hard to
reconcile with professions of willing
ness to carry out the wishes of the
people. Until the committee consults
the county commissioners let judg-
ment be withheld.

cial Club is heartily in favor of the
enterprise and the railways running
through Hattiesburg ought to contri-
butte very literally for they would
make enough the first season to re.
pay them for any reasonable contri-
buttons.
The geographical location of Hat
tiesburg warrants the belief that a
fair would be a great success. It's
benefits are so numerous that no man
who wishes to see the country devel-
oped could raise any objection. It's
influence on agricultural development
would pay for the original cost every
year to say nothing of the fact that
the business men of Hattiesburg would
reap thousands of dollars worth of
penef1ts on account of the people who
would visit Hattiesburg during the
fair.
The work should be pushed with
vigor from now on. 1t is not too late
to make a very creditable display of
agricultural products and we have no
hesitancy in saying that Southeast
can make a showing on
cotton and corn that will astonish the
entire South.

domain and by the states in state
reserves or other state lands. These
public forests contain more than. loo
million acres of saw timber.
"The private forests are of two dis
tinct classes Q) farmers wood lots
and (2) large holdings, either individ-
ual or corporate. The wood lots are
chiefly scattered and detached rem
nants of the original forests. They are
mainly in the eastern half of the
United States and cover some zoe
million acres, with a stand of perhaps
300 billion board feet of saw timber
and IL billion cords of wood. Aside
from their protective and ornamental
value they furnish much firewood
many posts, poles and crossties, and
some lumber and cooperage stock
"The large private holdings contain
about 100 billion feet. These hold
ings generally include the best tim
Der in the regions in which they oc-
cur. They are the principal sources
of the lumber which is used today
and upon the manner in which the are
managed depends in a large degree
the timber supply of the future.
THE value of the forest products
of the United States in 1907, the last
year for which detailed data are avail
able, was approximately $1,2S0,000, 1000.
1.-THE fact that timber has been
cheap and abundant has made us
careless of its production and reckless
in its use. We are cutting our forests
three times as fast as they are grow
ing. We take $50 cubic feet of woou
per capita annually from our forests
while Germany uses only 81 cubic
feet and France but %. On the other
hand Germany makes her state for
ests produce an average of As cubic
feet of wood per acre.
THE necessity for more farm land
nay eventually reduce our total for |
Est area to 100 million acres less than |
t is at present. It is entirely posi-
lie, however, to produce on $50 mil
ion acres as much wood as a popula-
ion much greater than we have now
'ill really need if all the forest land

ally and completely utilized,y

SOCIETY OF NAVAL ARC fECTS
AND MARINE ENGINEERS RE- ..
FUSE TO ENROLL HIM.

DETROIT, Mich, July 23.-The So
ciety of Naval Architects and Marine
Engineers refused to enroll Noah, de
signer and navigator of the ark, as
an honorary member. 1t was the last
session of the society's convention.
and Noah's was among the names
handed in for honorary membership.
There seemed to be some preju-
dice against Noah in the beginning.
Prof. H. .Sadler, of the University
of Michigan, was his only friend.
"The ark was constructed along
perfect lines, involving the greatest
amount of carrying space in proper
ton to its size of any ship ever float
3D." said Prof. Sad1er. Noah was the
father of our profession, and the
greatest designer of us all. Moreover
his ship performed greater service for
mankind than any vessel or fleet of
vessels that ever floated, not excepting
Dewey's fleet at Manila

"This question has given gray hairs

wise trade.
Il have heard it we'll argued that in
the strength and resistance of it's ma
terials and in it's power to ride the
waves the ark could teach us a great
deal' said Rear Admiral Bowles.
Then Noah's detractors commenced
knocking him. He ran his boat
aground after a voyage of only forty
days, his sons set a bad example to
sailors of all generations by getting
boisterous after they landed. they
said.
They seemed to overload the fact
that Noah finished his contract on
short notice and that he had to con.
tend with the facetious criticism of
a lot of loafers who afterward pleaded
earnestly in van for ride on his ship.
1t was held that there were no unions
in that time and that Noah had a large
family which he put to work and kept
working without danger of strikes.

IF we bring in Noah we'll have to |,
elect Jonah, too, because he was the |
first fellow to operate submarines sue
cessfully," declared Frank Jeffrey, of
the Detroit Shipbuilding company.
Noah was a gamekeeper and not a
designer, primarily, and I move thai

Frank E. Kirby.
Rear Admiral Bowles put the ques-
ton and the motion was carried, Prof.
Sadler being the only one to vote
nay.

each are as follows:
Alabama, 9; Arkansas Z; Florida,
B; Georgia, IL; Kentucky, II; Missis-

Those which are separately consid-
red as a single supervisors district
re:
Arizona, District of Columbia and
w WMexico.
Several cities and many single coun-
les including cities, are each consid-
red a separate supervisors district.
Precedent has been in the main re-
pected. ,

ter much discussion Mr.. Cox moveu
that the measure be amended SO as
to strike out the reference TO Twenty

planned that Twenty second street be-

nue. is used by teams hauling freight
