LUMBER OUTPUT
SMALLER IN 1908
United States Produces IL Per Gent
Less in Consequence of Panic.
Washington Leads All, With Oregon
in Eighth PIacs-Louisiana is Now
Second-YelIow Pine Leads All
Kinds of Lumber Pro iuction-Cy-
press Also Very Useful.

Washington, June 22.-During the
year 1908 81 ,231 sawmills in the United
States manufactured 33, 239, 369, 900
feet of lumber, according to a prelim-
mary report just issued by the bureau
of the census. These mills also cut
II, LOG, 483, 600 shingles and 2, 986, 6S4, =
600 iath. Lumber manufacturing, like
every other industry, felt the effects of
the business depression which began in
October, 1907. Consequently the pro-
duction in 1908 was below that for the
previous year. In 1907 the cut of 49,
$50 sawmilIs was 40,256, 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
past, still ranks first among the states
in lumber production, it's cut in 1908
being 2,9l5, 928, 900 feet-a decrease
of 22.8 per cent from the cut in 1907.
Louisiana ranks second, with 2,722,-
42l, 900 feet, decrease of $50, 900, 900
feet, or "a per cent from the cut in
1907.
Mississippi was the third state in
lumber production in 90S, with total
of / 1851, 016, 900 feet-a decrease of IL
per cent from the cut in 1907.
Arkansas ranked fourth, with /, $685.
99l 900 feet-a decrease of nearly II
per cent, and Wisconsin fifth, with L.
613, 3l5, 600 feet against 1908, 279, 900
feet in 1907.
In Texas, where the lumber indus
try is confined almost exclusively to
yellow pine, the falling off was very
heavy, The total cut of the state in
1908 was 1,524, 008, 900 feet-a de-
crease of 31.6 per cent from the cut in
1907.
Eight other states manufactured
more than 1000, 900, 900 feet each of
lumber last year. In the order OF i'm
portance they were: Michigan, Ore
gon, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Virgin
ia, Alabama, North Carolina and West
Virginia. California and Maine, other
states which reported more than |, 000,-
600, 900 feet each in 1907, went just
below that figure in 1908.

WAY CLEAR FOR
DESCHUTES ROAD
BalIinger Gives Right of Way TO Har.
riman and Oregon Trunk.
Roads Reach an Agreement for Joint
Use of Track-Protest of Power
Company Fails and Hartman Has
Accepted Conditions About Dam
Site for Irrigation.

Washington, June 10. = Secretary
Ballinger will not reconsider his recent
decision dismissing the protest of the
Deschutes Power & Development COM
pany against granting right of way up
the Deschutes river to the proposed
railroad. He today denied a motion
for review Of that decision, which mo-
ton was filed by the above-named COM
pany. simultaneously Re approved all
remaining maps of location filed by E.
II. Harriman's Deschutes Railroad
company, as well as maps of the Ore
gon Trunk line, which also sought
right of way through the Deschutes
canyon.
This action removes the last govern
ment obstacle in the way of construc-
ton of these two roads, it having pre-
viously been agreed by both companies
to use the same right of way through
narrow portions of the canyon which
will not accommodate two tracks.
The secretary's action today put an
end to all protest against railroad
right of way by private parties, and.
if they hereafter seek to interfere with
railroad construction, they must do so
through the Oregon courts.
= The right of way contemplates con-
struction at water grade. The railway
company agreed to elevate the tracks
if in the future it becomes necessary
to do SO to avoid interference with any
irrigation work the government NAV
build along this river. The railroad
company has accepted this stipulation.

JAP EDITOR APPEALS.


Wants Mikado to Interfere in Labor
Trouble in Hawaii
Honolulu, June 22.-In an editorial
appearing in today's issue of the Nippu
Jill, the organ of the leaders Of the
Japanese strike movement, an appeal
for interference in the Hawaiian strike
situation is made to the Japanese gov
eminent. The article alleged that the
Japanese have been accorded unfair
treatment by the courts and by the
Federal and territorial officials of the
islands.
The Jill has supported the leaders of
the higher wage movement ever since
the strike Of the Japanese sugar plan
tation hands was called. The Offices
of the paper were searched on June IL,
and numerous papers were seized by
the territorial authorities which, it Ia
alleged, contained evidence of wide
spread conspiracy among the Japanese
on the islands.
Y. Sega, editor Of the Jill, was in
dicted twice by the territorial grand
jury, following the seizure. once on
charge Of conspiracy to incite riot and
once on charge Of conspiracy to com
NIT murder. He was released on fur
nishing y2,250 bail bonds TO cover both
Indictments.
The efforts Of certain of the Japan
sse to give the Hawaiian situation an
International aspect are apparently
here, as evidenced by the
'iji's special TO the Japanese govern
nent.

JURY DiSAGREEs.
Unable to Reach Verdict in Calhoun
Case at San Francisco.

| O'ob'c " ncdCn VERDICT IN CdlnOur
Case at San Francisco.
| San Francisco, June q. -Terminat-
ing in disagreement of the jury, with
ten men determined on acquittal and
two steadfastIy resolved upon convic-
ton, the trial of Patrick Calhoun, pres
ident of the United Railroads, came to
an end at IL O'Clock yesterday. Five
months and week had elapsed since
the wealthy streetcar magnate made
his first appearance in court. to answer
to the charge of offering bride of
81, 600 to a supervisor to obtain a privi-
lege for his corporation, and a period
Of "a hours had been consumed in fruit
less elaboration.
Not until each juror had pronounced
as hopeless the prospect of a verdict
was the order for their liberation made
by Judge William P. LawIor. Prose-
cution and defense gave assent to the
discharge and the proceeding ended
within 5 minutes.
After ordering the discharge of the
jury Judge Lawlor drew his chair to
the edge OF the platform nearest the
jury box and addressed to the IL men
some informal remarks severely criti-
cizing the laws and usages that made
possible the expenditure of three
months in the empanel of jury and
congratolating and thanking them up
on their worth as citizens.
He declared the courts were utterly
helpless to prevent such occurrences
and recommended that the legislature
be influenced by the people to make al
teration IN the laws that governed
court procedure in the empanelment of
jurors. Under the orders of the court
the attorneys will be expected to fix q
date for another trial upon the same
indictment at this mornings session of
court.
II am ready to try this case again
and will go ahead tomorrow if neces
sary." said Mr.. Heney an hour after
the adjournment.
