PULP WOOD INDUSTRY GROWS.
Government Figures Show Remark
able Change During 1908.

Washington, July 5. = That the
growth of the pulpwood industry in
the United States has been remark
able and that the use of the pulp wood
promises to become even larger is
brought out by review of the pulp
wood consumption during 1908. The
review is just issued by the census
bureau.
While, owing to depressed business
conditions, there was temporary
check in the production of the pulp
wood in the United States during 1908,
there was a greater decrease in i'm
ported pulpwood than in the domestic
woods.
Sixty-four per cent of all the wood
used for pulp is spruce, with hemlock,
poplar, pine, balsam and cottonwood
making up the remainder OF the pro-
duction. With the increased price of
spruce, hemlock is being resorted to
by the manufacturers as the chief
substitute. Pulpwood imports, which
have increased in quantity SO per cent
since 1900, all come from Canada duty
free. Nearly 81 per cent OF the wood
pulp also imported comes from Ca
hada, the remainder mainly from Ger
many, Sweden and Norway. Inc
United States exported in 1908 1873
tons of wood pulp, about one-nftn OF
the amount imported.

PREPARE FOR MINI. CENSUS.
To Work Out Details In Washington
This Week.

Washington, July 6.-The census
enumeration in Minnesota is to be the
subject of an extended conference be-
tween Director Durand and Congress
man Nye next week. The question of
the supervisors, district enumerators,
clerks and methods to be followed in
districting the cities and conducting
the work will be brought up. Thus
far Mr.. Durand has indicated that he
prefers to leave the matter of detail
to the supervisor in each district, but
the groundwork of the demonstrating
for Minneapolis may be laid at this
weeks conference.
The director of the census has indi-
Gated desire to appoint c. S. Cairns,
who conducted the 1900 enumeration,
but Mr.. Nye has not yet declared def
nitely whether or not he will recon-
mend him. Mr.. Cairns was warmly
Endorsed by former Director Merriam,
at the conclusion of the twelfth cen
sus, and Mr.. Durand is guided to a
considerable extent in his preference
by the records of service on file in the
census office.
"T am satisfied that the coming
enumeration will show a population of
over 100000 in Minneapolis" said Mr..
Nye, "and the plans for the census
work will require some study"

AN OLD TIMER
Has Had Experiences.

A woman who has used Postum
since it came upon the market knows
from experience the wisdom of us-
ing Postum in place of coffee If one
values health and clear brain. She
says:
"At the time Postum was first put
on the market / was suffering from
nervous dyspepsia, and my physician
had repeatedly told me not to use
tea or coffee. Finally l decided to
take his advice and try Postum. /
got a package and had it carefully
prepared, finding it delicious to the
taste. So continued it's use and very
soon it's beneficial effects convinced
me of its value, for / got well OF my
nervousness and dyspepsia.
my husband had been drinking COT
fee all his life until it had affected
his nerves terribly, and / persuaded
him to shift to Postum. 1t was easy
to get him to make the change for
the Postum is so delicious. 1t GER
tainly worked wonders for him.
I'VE soon learned that Postum does
not exhilarate nor depress and does
not stimulate, but steadily and honest
ly strengthens the nerves and the
stomach.
ITO make . long story short, our en-
tire family continued to use Postum
with satisfying results, as shown in
our fine condition of health and we
have noticed rather unexpected i'm
provement in brain and nerve power"
Increased brain and nerve power
always follow the use of Postum in
place of coffee, sometimes in a very
marked manner. There's Reason"

WHAT WERE THEY THERE FOR
Reporters Seemingly Superfiuous
Question as to Happenings at
Cabinet Meeting.

Postmaster General Meyer is OF
serious turn of mind, but he has bit
of humor in his makeup, nevertheless.
Being looked upon as the shrewdest
politician in the presidents. cabinet, he
is the objective point for newspaper
correspondents on cabinet days.
Last week as Mr.. Meyer emerged
from the White House a newspaper
man asked:
"Mr. Postmaster General, can't you
give us some news about the cabinet
meetings?"
There really is nothing to say" re-
piled the cabinet officer. 1--WE dis
cussed nothing of especial impor-
lance"
do you mean to say you did not
discuss politics?" the newspaper man
queried.
The postmaster general burst into
laughter. When he recovered his us
ual serenity he said:
do you suppose we were all muz-
zled?"

TO REOPEN FLOUR RATECASE
FASTENERS WILL BE GIVEN A
HEARING.
Interstate Commerce Commission
Considers Arguments
Incomplete.

Washington, July 6.-The interstate
commerce commission has determined
to reopen the big flour and wheat rate
case, final arguments in which were
submitted before the commission in
Washington few weeks ago.
Convinced that the determination of
the true effect of freight rates upon
the relative commercial prosperity of
the Eastern and Northwestern flour
millers is the great problem involved,
the commission has decided to give
no opinion until Buffalo and other
Eastern millers have been given a
hearing, and all facts bearing on the
flour and wheat situation have been
brought out.
The decision of the commission was
reached at the executive conference
of that body when the so-called Jen-
nison case came up for informal dis
cussion.
Northwest VS.. the East.
The Jennison case is that Of the 81
milling firms of Minnesota, the Dako-
tas and Wisconsin, against all rail and
lake lines operating between Mime
apolis and the Atlantic seaboard.
The specific complaint was directed
against the % cent lake and rail -four
rate from Minneapolis to the sea-
board. 1t was claimed to be too high,
and to allow too great differential
between the -four rate and the wheat
rate, the result of which was to give
the eastern grinder the advantage
over the northwestern grinder.
The first hearings in the case were
held in Minneapolis last spring and
arguments were completed here few
weeks ago, when Albert E. Clarke, of
Minneapolis, and Charles e. Elmquist,
of the Minnesota railroad commission,
appeared to support the millers' con-
tention.
A member of the commission stated
last night that in the first discussion
of the case in the executive confer
ence of the commission, the conflict
ing claims of the eastern and north
western millers was made so emphatic
that the commission was practically
unanimous for a re-opening of the
case.
Which Section Shall Control.
In it's further hearing, it will involve
the entire question as to which Sec
ton is to control the -four milling bus
mess.
The Minneapolis millers claimed
that with the differential of cents
between wheat and flour rates and
the high -four rate, the northwestern
wheat was all going east to be milled,
and the northwestern miller. could not
ship his flour east to compete at a
profit with the eastern miller.
