BIG TIMBER ACREAGE
RANKS HIGH AS A
 LUMBER PRODUCING STATE.
Census Shows That State is Fourth n a List of Fourteen-YeIlow
 Pine Far in the Lead.

z Little Roclf-Arkansas led in the production of gum and hickory. was ath in the list of states in the produc- ton of all classes and kinds of lum- her according to a report just issued by the Department of Commerce and Labor in conjunction with the Cen sus Department The report covers the period of 1908, and shows that during that year fourteen states pro- duced more than 1.000,000,000 feet cf lumber each. Arkansas was fourth in the list on general production, the principal wood in the state heias yellow pine, which constituted Goo Der cent of the total output of lum- Der of the state for the year.
 The report shows d total of t,24S lumber. lath ad shingle mills oper- alng in Arkansas in 1908, compared with LISA in 1907 Of that number 93 were idle. and only six states have as many mills They are Ken lucky. with 1,657 mills. New York, with 2.291 mills. North Carolina, with 1,5s7 mills; and Virginia, with 2,070 mills The state possessing the few. est mills was Nevada, with only folu to it's credit, and one of these was idle.
 The report shows that more yellow pine was cut and used by the mills than any other lumber. Douglas fir was second, and white pine was in third place. with oak fourth.
 Ont of 610 mills reporting. Arkan- sas, it was shown, cut $14,4s0. .008 worth of timber, at an average value of Jl3.35 per thousand feet. In this respect Arkansas stood fourth in all the states. and also stood fourth in the amount of oak cut, and third ill cypress. Louisiana led in the pro- duction of cypress, and Florida was second
 Arkansas led in the production of red Sgum. second in cottonwood. sec ond in ash, first in hickory, fifth in sycamore.
 Altogether the report makes very creditable showing for Arkansas and VIII undoubtedly attract additional capital to the state.

that quorum of the Senate being as- Sembled, that body was ready to pro- ceed 10 business. The House also was told that the Senate had appoint ed a committee to join a House com mittee to inform the president of the United States that quorum of each house was present and that congress was ready to receive any communica- ton that he may be pleased to make. On receipt of this message from the Senate, Speaker Cannon ap- pointed a committee to join a like committee of the Senate to wait upon the president. The members of the body directed to notify Mr Taft that the House was in session were by the appointment of the speaker, the Re publican leader, Sereno F. Payne, and the Democratic leader, Champ Clark
 The first day in the House as usual brought out hundreds of legislative measures in bill form, all of which were read by their title only and then referred to the proper committees. It was evident from the tone of the bills 'AANi CNNNNu Nhell SOIllt SCOl tS LII IGD- resentatives were anxious to father measures which had been recommend ed by President Taft.
 Applause Greets Speaker Cannon.
 If Speaker Cannon anticipates any particular trouble with the 'Insur- gents" of the House at the coming ses- sion, he gave no evidence of it when he took the chair as presiding officer He was greeted with great applause from the galleries and from the floor Of the House, many of the Democrats and insurgents joining in the demon stration, though in either case pos sibly the hand-clapping was given as an evidence of regard for the office of speaker, rather than as evidence of any overweaning affection for the speaker himself.
 With the committees ready to begin work, the House will settle down to its winters business at once. No bills will be passed immediately because all measures must be considered in committee, and the meetings of the committees will be held daily from now until the Christmas holidays and some of the more important House bodies will sit during the recess When congress reassembles in Janu- ary many of the committees will be ready to report bills, and the debates of the winter will begin.
 Opening of the Senate.
 Vice-President sherman called the Senate to order at noon Rev. Ed ward Everett Hale, the chaplain of the Senate, having died during the summer recess, his place aa chaplain, temporarily, was taken by local clergyman who offered prayer. In the Senate the roll was called and :t was found that nearly all the senators were in their seats. The resolutions were adopted to the effect that com mittees be appointed to inform the House and the president that the Sen. ate had assembled and was ready to begin the business of the session. As was the case in the House many bills were introduced for consideration dur ing the winter by senators who, like the representatives, desire to have a hand in forwarding administration pol icies
 After a comparatively short session "in the open" the galleries were cleared and the Senate went into ex ecutive session behind close1 doors for the purpose of considering nomin- ations for office sent to the UPper House by President Taft.
