LUMBER CUT OF THE UNITED
STATES In dana

During the year 1908, 1921 saw
mills in the United States manufac.
tured 33,2S9, 1863 900 feet of lumber, &C.
cording to preliminary report just is.
sued by the Bureau of the Census.
These mills also cut 12,1OG.4S 81. 600
shingles and 2,sSG, $4,000 lath. I.um-
Der manufacturing like every other in.
dustry, felt the effects of the business
depression which began in October,
1907. Consequently the production in
1908 was below that for the previous
year. In 1907 the cut of 2S,S5O saw
mills was lO256,154 900 feet, the high.
est production ever recorded. Not.
withstandIng, therefore, that in 1905
reports were received from eight per
cent. more mills than in 1907, the de.
crease in lumber cut reported by them
was slightly over seventeen per cent.
Washington, as for several years
past, still ranks first among the States
in lumber production, its cut in 1903
being 2,s15,s2s,00o feet-a decrease Of
22.s per cent. over the cut in 1907.
Nearly all the lumber manufactured in
Washington is Douglas fir, the market
for which was seriously affected by
the panic. Louisiana ranks seconl,
with 2,722.421,000 feet, a decrease Of
25O,0OoyOOO feet or 81 per cent. over
the cut In 1907. Louisiana is first in
the production of both yellow pine aad
cypress. sypress is a particularly use
full and valuable wood, and apparent
ly the manufacturers OF 1t did not SUI
fer as severely from dull times as did
the manufacturers of yellow pine and
Douglas fir. Mississippi was the third
State in lumber production in 1875,
with total OF /, 1861, ole 900 feet de.
crease Of eleven per cent. from tao cut
in 1907. Arkansas ranked fourth, with
1,656,991,OOO feet-a decrease of near
ly seventeen per cent. over the preyi.
Gus years output, and Wisconsin fifth,
with 1,6lS,S16,OOO feet against 2.9O3,.
$4,000 feet in 1907. In Texas, where
the lumber industry is confined Almost
exclusively to yellow pine, the falling

of the internal revenue Office, is news
to said P. W. Morris, the writer of
this article.
To make pOol .lt'la Brooksv more
ridiculous, for sucn w.td and easily
exposed lying i. not hurtfui and there
fore scarcely a crime, only funny, Gov
ernor Giasscock has not appointed P.
W. Morris TO any office whatever,
either lucrative or otherwise. When
this gets through little Broksy's thick
epldermis, even he, gaudy little pre-
varicator that he is, must feel like
blushlng. ,I,.a.- e".,-,-
There can be but one explanation to
the matter, and to little Broksy's wild
alarm and Indignation. He, the small
potato, has wanted something himself
from Governor Glasscock and has been
refused. His state of mind would not
be so decomposed, SO to speak, and
his sobbing so loud, were this not the
case. The writer OF this article does
not pretend to know about this, for
Brooksy and his affairs are mighty lit
tie in his mind ordinarily, but It looks
like a safe bet.
+. Finally, a word of warning to the
present management of the Dispatch.
News, which copied little Brooksy's
choice collection of political freakism
herein referred to on its editorial page
under glaring headlines-better keep
him away from Its writing rooms. He
ran the newspaper in the ground once,
twice. thrice, four, five, six times,
more or less-some fewer, maybe-be-
! fore and he can do it again. Beware.
beware" something or other, as Henry
Longfellow used to say-forgotten it
and haven't time to hunt It up.
The State Journal did not intend to
notice this matter, but today early in
the morning. copy is short and edito-
rial rather scarce, so getting started
the machine has thus ran on and this
is only sample Of what might be
said.

BRooksY SMITH.

Brooksy Smith, OF ParHersDurg, West
Virginia, United States of America, is
one Of the most cheerful elegant and
fascinating liars in the newspaper bus.

tell the truth when the opposite viii
answer hls purpose. He is rather a

sense enough to know that his men
! dacfty and general unreliability as a
newspaper man hurt him lot, but he
does not seem to realize this, says the
Parkersburg State journal.
In Brooksy's last Illumination IN the
Pittsburg Dispatch, he tries to take a
fail out Of the editor Of this paper,
along with others, but he only sue
ceeds in making himself ridiculous.
BE tells in his airy, fairy like way of
how the 'highnps" in the Republican
party were dissatisfied with the indie
pendencs Of Governor Glasseock ii

goes on to tell how these terrible
things happened, thus

It Is nevertheless a fact, that the or

lows are not showering him with com.
pliments like they did before he had
taken office and shown his hand. Dis.
trfbution Of patronage is, as usual, the
cause of the eooiness. The organiza.
! don charges that Governor Glasscock
absolutely ignored them in making ap.
pointments, when, they say. that he
agreed before they would permit his
name to go on the ticket instead Of
swisher's, that he would consult the
leaders and make no appointments re
pugnant to them and against the best
interest Of the party organization. He
has violated both, they say. The sen.
ators and congressman say they have
not been consulted about anything; in
fact, in number Of instances, their
endorsements have been ignored. The
federal court officials, who are organ.
ization leaders, say the same thing.
One OF them suffered the embarrass.
ment Of not being able to exert the
least tnuence over several decidedly
minor appointments in mis- own coun.
W The charge is also made that the
governor has, in the distribution Of
plums, favored men who bolted tie

were collected by the Forest, Fish
and Game Commission Of that State
which secured reports from 2.291 mills.
In Pennsylvania 1924 mills reported
to the Census, and in Virginia, ,OS7
mills. In North Carolina reports came
from 1,74O mills, and in Kentuck,
from 1880 mills. The number of mills
reporting from Tennessee was only
forty less than from Kentucky. In
West Virginia, Georgia, Missouri, Ohio
1
and Indiana between 1000 and 100
mills each wereS engaged in cutting
lumber last year. The average outpa.
per mill was 100000 feet IN New York,

two states presenting nearly the ex.

Yellow pine, Douglas fir, white pine.

been superseded by Douglas fir so
