TIMBER is CUT TOO FAST
1t Will Take Years to Reach an Equi-
librium Between Timber Produc-
duction and Consumption.

Washington, D. C.-Carelessness in
the production of timber and reck-
lessness in it's use because it has been
cheap and abundant has brought upon
the nation a menace which will take
many years of vigorous effort by indi-
vidual forest owners, by the states and
by the national government to over
come and to reach the necessary con-
dition of equilibrium between timber
production and consumption. says r.
S. Kellogg, assistant forester, in for
est service publication Just issued.
I'VE are cutting our forests three
times as fast as they are growing"
is Mr.. Kellogg's comment. THE total
yearly drain on our forests. not count
ing losses from fires, storms and in
sects," he says, sis some 10000, 900, 900
cubic feet. The annual growth of our
forests does not exceed 12 cubic feet
per acre. total of less than 1000, ,000,-
900 cubic feet. While we might never
reach absolute timber exhaustion, the
unrestricted exploitation of our forests
in the past has already had serious ef-
feet and it will have much worse IL it
is allowed to continue unchecked"

Scranton, Pa, Property-WilI
Have to Raze School.

Sranton, Pa.-Fully 100000 dam
age was done to West Scranton
property by mine cave-in, the
worst the city has ever experienced.
Abandoned workings of the old Cork
and Bottle" colliery of the Fairlawn
Coal Co., which ceased operations 20
years ago, gave way under a side hill
and an area equal to two city blocks
sunk from 2 to feet, throwing houses
from their foundations, cracking walls
and otherwise damaging buildings.
Public school No. 16, $4,000 brick
structure, was so badly damaged that
it will have to be torn down. The
other property damaged are mostly
frame residences on Fairview and
Chestnut avenues and Robinson street
with few small store buildings. One
of the biggest items of loss is the land
which, on account of being on a steep
hillside. is probably made unmarked
able. The disturbance is estimated to
be about 130 feet below the surface
Fissures extending to the surface and

for few practice flights and had

Muskogee, Okla. Judge Ralph

that no vestige of title to the lands

THE WEEKLY PULSE OF TRADE
Industrial Tendencies Are Still in the

Says Bradstreets.

New York City.-Bradsteets says:
Trade and industrial tendencies
are still in the direction of i'm.
provement. Impetus is given these
movements by the beginning of the
cotton harvest at the south, by the
completion of the spring wheat har-
vest in the northwest and on the Pa
cific coast and by the gathering of
other products of agricultural inter-
ests in various sections of the coun-
try. In commercial lines jobbing
trade still has the center of the stage,
and reports are practically unanimous
that buyers excursions are stimulat-
ing fall demand as the close of the
vacation period approaches. Retail
trade still largely deals with the dis
posal of summer goods, mainly at con-
cessions.
Industry is becoming increasingly
active, iron and steel leading despite
some further price advances and mills
are reported behind on deliveries. De-
mand for coal is expanding east and
west. The building trades are quite
active.

SIX PEOPLE DROWNED
STEAMER OHIO SINKS OFF STEEP
POINT, ALASKA.
All the Passengers but One on Board
the Boat Were Saved, the Vic
Tins Being Employees.

Seattle, Wash.-Six lives were lost
in the sinking of the Alaska Steam
ship Co. steamer Ohio off Steep
Point, Alaska. There were 1913 pas
sengers on board, but all these but one
escaped, the victims being employees,
The loss of the steamer and the cargo
is total. The drowned are Purser f.
j. Stephen of Seattle, Wirless Opera
tor George e. Eccles of Winnipeg,
two seamen and the quartermaster,
names not given, and one passenger.
A wireless dispatch says the Ohio
sank in three minutes. This probably
means that she was on the reef q con-
siderable time and that the passen-
gers were all off before the ship slid
into deep water which she did so
speedily as to carry down five of the
crew.
1t is 800 miles from Seattle to Steep
Point. The rocks where the Ohio sank
shelve off rapidly into unusually deep
water. The Ohio was insured for
$220,000. Capt. John Johnson, her
navigator was regarded as one of the
most skilful on the Pacific coast.
