burned An average of only 320 feet
of lumber is used for each 10000 feet
that stood in the forest, and year
by year through careless cutting and
fires we lower the capacity of exist
ing forests to produce their like
again or totally destroy them. The
condition of the world supply of
timber makes us dependent upon
what we produce. We send out of
the country one and half times as
much timber as we bring in. Ex-
cept for finishing woods, relatively
insignificant in quantity, we must
grow our own supply or go without" !"
Contrary to Mr.. McHarg's asser-
tion that logging"is impossible under
present forestry regulations Price
said the forest service is selling
yearly from ,the National forest
about $1,000, 900 worth of mature
mber, this timber is purchased by
lumber men at market price is logged
under the regulations of the forest
service which prescribe that only des-
ignated trees be cut. Brush in the
forests is disposed of as safeguard
against forest fires and that young
growth be protected in logging.
Within the past month applications
to purchase over 150,000,O00 feet at
board measure have been received
from lumbermen many of whom are
already purchasers of National for
est timber and all of whom are thor
oughly familiar with the method un-
der which it must be cut
Mr.. Price also referred to Mr.. Nc
Harg's ridicule of the charge that
there exist combinations to control
water power sites saying:
1.-The forest service is deeply con-
cerned in the growing concentration
of water power, since within the Ma
tional forests are power sites, in part
utilized and in part not utilized, with
the regulation of whose use in the
past the forest service is charged.
Mr.. McHargs statement in this con-
nection is directly at variance with
the message of President Roosevelt
of January Is, 1909, to the house OF
representatives vetoing bill for the
construction of a dam across the
James river in Stone county, Mis-
souri, ,

Bleriot replaced the original propel'

several hours. In the meantime Le

out the hope of winning, flew over
the course but his time was five min

The excitement grew dsteadily as 5
o'clock, which the public understood
was the time limit for starting in this
event, approached. Bleriot's and La;
tham's machines were run out and
everybody stood watch in hand. AT
5 O'Clock the crowd concluded that
the two French champions had. de-
faulted and murmurs of protest arose
but minute later it was officially
announced that working of the rule
had been misunderstood and that the
rule allowed the start to be made any
time before half past five.
A few minutes later Bleriot and La

at terrific pace and for a moment
the Americans feared Curtiss would
be beaten. He finished the round In
almost the identical time of Curtiss

7 minutes, So 3-5 seconds, but his
speed seemed appreciably to decrease
on the last round and before he reach
ed the final turn stop watches showed
that he had lost.

disappointed at the failure Of their

Bethany Aviation Field, Rheims,
Aug. 2s.-The international &cup of
aviation, known also as the Gordon
Bennett trophy, was Won today by
Glenn III, Curtiss, American aviator
in the fastest ariaf Journey OF twenty
kilometres (t242 miles,, ever accom-
splished BY man. His time, Is minutes
so 3-5 seconds. was only 5 3-8 seconds

the same course. The other two pi-
lots who represented France, Latham
and Lefevbre, finished respectively in
II minutes, 80 seconds and 20 minutes

glishman, ran into hay stack as he
was maneuvbring 70 the start and
did not cross the line. Several 9th
er machines which were expected to
start were not ready within the time
limit ...'.
The race lay between BleriQt and
Curtiss, with Latham as a possible
outsider. Levebvre on previous per-
formances apparently had no chance
to win. Fortune favored the Ameri-
can. An accident two days ago to
Bleriot's fast machine, with which he
had made the Zap record, was SER
ious handicap since he had no oppor-
tunity to try out the repaired ma
chine. &s . { { ~ I
Curtiss stole SaS march on4 his rival
by getting away early. Finding con-
ditions favorable at 10 O'Clock in the
morning he decided to take no epanc-
es On tickle weather, and after Al trial

his attempt to win the cup. He hand
led his machine, which flew along at
a speed never before witnessed in a
mastery style, especially at turns,
which he took on the down grade.
The first round, measuring GIL
miles, was made in 7 minutes, 81 rs
seconds, somewhat slower than the
trial, but the second round was Gov
cred two seconds, faster, minutes.
SO is seconds, and another worlds
record. q.
This remarkable showing on the
part of the American created con-
sternation in the Bleriot camp. The
French favorite, whose machine was
equipped with four. bladed propeller,
made the trial but. could do no bet
ter than minutes, 58 Is seconds for
the round. Then upon the. advice Of
Santos Dumont, he substituted two
bladed propeller, but this proved slow
er STILL and the French began to
doubt the ability, of their champion.

More WareroOms at Washington

WASHINGTON. Ga. july S.-With the
building of the Pope Manufacturing Co.'S
new oil mill, the erection of the Plant
ers' warehouse, plans being made for a
Farmers Union warehouse, another new
enterprise is booked for Washington this
fall.
During the next few months, the Ar
mour Fertilizer works will enlarge their
plant here by placing a mixer in their es'
Establishment, and have all fertilizers for
this section made here instead of At
lanta and Augusta On account of the
steady increase of business in this Sec
ton, and also on account Of freight rates
figuring go largely in the cost of the out
put, the Armour people will install this
mixing plant and have all blood, tank
age and bulk acids shipped direct from
their packing houses in the west and
manufactured here instead of other
points, thereby lessening the cost of their
products and placing themselves in bet
ter position to quickly supply their trade
than formerly. The plant will mean much
to Washington and this territory.
