How Men Differ.

The difference in men is often aston
ishing. The corn growers near Des
Moines, Ia, have been satisfied with
a crop bringing $12 an acre, and yet
the son of a stonemason recently came
among them and made as high as $500
an acre out Of tomatoes.
In the last seven years this young
man has made $4,000 worth Of inn
proyements on little farm of only
thirty-two acres. He uses very little
manure, but great deal of water.
He makes $500 year on lettuce
alone. Other men find farming slow
business, while this young man makes
a fortune out of 1t with all ease. The
difference is certainly strange

LUMBER CUT OF 1909.
Reduction Shown by Reports From
More Than 10000 Sawmilis.

Reduction Shown by Reports From
More Than 10000 SawmiNs.
Every farmer in the United States
must be interested in the lumber pro-
duced. During the year 1908 1921
sawmills in the United States manu-
featured 100000 feet of lumber,
according to a preliminary report is
sued by the bureau of the census.
These mills also cut 1906, 4S3, 900
shingles and 1885, 6s4,OoO lath Lum-
Der manufacturing, like every other
industry, felt the effects of the bust
ness depression which began in Oc-
tober. 1907. Consequently the produc-
ton in 1908 was below that for the
previous year. In 1907 the cut of
2SS50 sawmills was 4O,256, 154 900 feet,
the highest production ever recorded
Notwithstanding, therefore, that in
1908 reports were received from per
cent more mills than in 1907, the de-
crease in lumber cut reported by them
was slightly over II per cent.
Washington. as for several years,
still ranks first among the states in
lumber production, its cut in 1908 be-
ing 2.915, 92S,000 feet-a decrease of
22.S per cent over the cut in 1907.
Nearly all the lumber manufactured
in Washington is Douglas Dir, the mar
ket for which was seriously affected
by the panic. Louisiana ranks second.
with 2,722,421, 900 feet, a decrease of
25O000,000 feet, or 81 per cent, from
the cut in 1907. Louisiana is first in
the production of both yellow pine
and cypress Mississippi was the
third state in lumber production in
1908 with a total Of 1861, O16,OOO feet
"a decrease of II per cent from the
cut in 1907.
Arkansas ranked fourth with 1885,
$4,000 feet. a decrease of nearly II
per cent from the previous years out
put, and Wisconsin fifth with 1,613,-
$4,000 feet against 1908, 279,OOO feet
in 1907 In Texas, where the lumber
industry is confined almost exclusively
to yellow pine, the falling off was very
heavy. The total cut of the state in
1908 was 1924. 00S,0OO feet, a decrease
of BIG per cent from the cut in 1907.
Eight other states manufactured
more than one billion feet each of
lumber last year. In the order of i'm
portance they were: Michigan, Oregon,
Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Virginia, AL
ALBANIA, North Carolina and West Vir-
ginia. California, Maine and other
states which reported more than one
billion feet each in 1907 went just be-
low that figure in 1908.
While there are many very large
sawmills in the United States, the
small mills far outnumber the large
ones. Many Of these small mills are
In the states which are not now Of
first rank in lumber production. The
statistics for New York were collected

ports from 2,291 mills. In Pennsyl-
vania 1924 mills reported to the CEN

TROOPS LEAVE CUBA
EVACUATION OF THE AMERICAN
ARMY OF PACIFICATION
BEGINS JAN. 4.
Departure of United States Forces
Marks Actual Independence
of Island.

Havana, Dec. 2s.-New Years day
will witness the beginning Of the
evacuation Of Cuba by the army Of
pacifcation. which has been in pos
session of the island since the begin
ming of the provisional government
in October. 1906. The first provis-
ional regiment of marines, number
ing 600, which viii be among the
first troops to leave. are now con-
centrating from various posts at
Camp Columbia.
About half this regiment will sail
in January on the cruiser Prairie,
which arrived here Christmas eve,
bound for Newport News. The Prai-
RE will return about the middle Of
the month and embark the remain
der. The final embarkation will not
occur until April /.
The purpose in deferring the de-
parture of the portion of the 18th
Infantry until April / has been the
subject of considerable speculation,
but it is believed this was agreed
upon at a conference between Gov
ernor Magoon and President-elect
Gomez. Cubans are greatly pleased
by the departure of the American
forces, as marking the complete es-
Enlistment of independence. All
show the kindest feelings toward the
troops.

GOVERNMENT To ESTABLISH
STATIONS FOR MINERS

Washington, Dec, 2S.-Carrying
out plans to reduce the number OF
fatalities in coal mines, the United
States Geological Survey is about to
establish rescue stations in the prin-
eipal coal fields of the country, In
addition to the experiment station
now located at Pittsburg. Ii will be
the purpose of the experts TO teach
the miners and mine bosses how to
use the most approved apparatus in
rescue work.
Government mining engineers viii
be assigned TO the stations and will
be ready at a moments notice to go
to the scene of any disaster. They
will be equipped with oxygen he'll
NETS. which will enable them to en-
ter a mine at once, even though 1t is
filled with gas or smoke.
Every station is to be fitted up
with an air-tight room, where gas
can be generated, and the coal-min-
ing companies have been invited to
send picked men to the stations for
training in the use of oxygen he'll
NETS.
One of the stations may be estab-
lished at Salt Lake to care for the
Utah, Montana and Washington coal
fields.

NO ONE RFsIsTs POWER OF
GOMEZ IN VENEZUELA

Caracas. Dec. 2S.-The Presidency
of Juan Vicente Gomez has been re-
ceived by the country al large, ON
cially and unoficially, and Venezuela
is through with one of the most pop
ular r. buttons in the annals OF the
republic, a revolution in which not
drop of blood is shed.
The authority Of President Gomez
is accepted supreme. Even General
Celestino Castro, brother of the ex-
President, who was chief OF the de-
partment of Tachira, has turned over
to the new military commander OF
that district 5000 rifles and $780,
600 rounds of ammunition.
The doors of Venezuela have been
opened 10 all Venezuelans residing
abroad, and all agitators have been
urged to return. The cattle monopo-
". maintained for so many years by
ex-President Castro has been abol-
ished and the press has been given
its freedom.

Stockbuyers Complain.

Grangeyille, Idaho, Dec. 2S.-The
action of the Northern Pacific in re-
fusing to accept shipments of stock
over the new Grangeville line is caus-
ing great inconvenience to stock
shippers. A number of buyers have
been feeding and buying cattle and
hogs with a view of shipping out on
the new line. An effort is being
made to have the road suspend the
order and receive shipments in jan
uary.
The only reason given by the Off
cials of the road is that the cattle
sway the cars and cause the newly
ballasted roadbed to shift. Stock
shippers assert that the ruling is un-
just to them, as all other freight is
accepted Several large shipments
are to be made about the first OF the
year.

Paterson, n. j., Dec 2S.-If a sur
gical operation performed in this
city proves successful, Cornelius
Snyder, of this city, will be going
around before long with one of his
fingers where his nose used to be.
Snyder suffered from cancer for
several years, and about a year ago
the greater part of his nose was am
putated in order to remove the ma
lignant growth.
When Mr.. Snyder was informed by
physicians that it was possible to re-
place the lost nose with a finger, he
decided to have the operation per-
formed, and it took place last week.
The third finger of Snyder's left hand
was used.
1t is expected that within three
weeks the flesh of the finger and the
nose will have united. The finger
will then be amputated at the middle
joint, and when the wounds are
healed Mr.. Snyder will have as good
as a new nose.
