New Orleans, through the Des PLANES
river, the Illinois river and the Mis-
sissippi river, has been surveyed un-

reported to congress that the building
of the deep waterway is feasible.
8. The people of the state of Illi-
nois have adopted a constitutional
amendment providing for bond is
sue of $20.000.000. the money to be
spent i'm constructing the deep water
way southwark from Joliet

DEEP WATERWAYS

demands for IA feet through the val
ley and elaborate argument in sup
port of the program for the creation
of deep waterway from the lakes to

vention of the Deep Waterway asso-
citation that opened here Saturday.

able senators and representatives and
mighty throng of private citizens

dertaken and carried to speedy con-
clusion.
President Taft Promises Support.
President Taft, who arrived in New
Orleans escorted by great fiotilla,
after an Illuminating trip down the
Mississippi river from ST Louis, land
ed from the lighthouse tender Olean-
der about eight o'clock Saturday
morning, and was driven to his no.

plain that he would not stand for any
plan to make pork barrel' of the

such general bond issue of $50O,0OO,-

logs and the small lumber that has
gone to the European market in re-
| cent years, the demand for 1t has fall
en- off and it has been supplanted by
mahogany.
There are other reasons why ma
hogany has taken the place of wal
nut Mahogany is 80 per cent. cheap
er In Europe than walnut. 1t Is much
larger, too. Walnut logs from which
segments four inches thick may be
cut are scarce, and walnut logs from
which such segments 26 feet long may
be cut are almost impossible to get
now.
Another factor in the disappearance
of walnut lumber is that mahogany is
much softer and easier to cut The
Sheffield mill can cut $4,000 feet of
mahogany day, but it will cut only
10000 feet Of walnut. A mahogany
log will cut nearly three times as
much lumber as walnut log of the
same size, and therefore it is more
economical to cut mahogany.
Although mahogany is taking the
place of walnut over all the world. it
| is not nearly so good as walnut There
| is no wood SO good as walnut for fine
furniture and cabinet work. The rea-
son is that 1t is hard, it will never
warp and 1t takes a beautiful polish,
it has more varied and beautiful
grain and the older it grows the rich
er 1t looks.
Instead of being sawed into boards
and posts the walnut will hereafter be
cut into veneers not much thicker
than piece of blotting paper, and it
Is only the gnarled trunks that will do
tor this.
Circassian walnut, which is much
used for veneers and costs more than
the American black walnut, is not
nearly so rich in color and grain 1t
comes from the Ural mountains in
Russia. 1t is becoming exhausted, too.
and is very high in price. The wood
of the gum tree that grows in the
swamps of Arkansas and elsewhere is
used as an imitation and substitute
for Circassian walnut. 1t is so nearly
like it that only an expert can detect
the difference. Millions of feet of
gum logs are shipped every year to
Europe and there cut into veneers and
polished and sent back to America
and sold at high price for genuine
Circassian walnut.
In hundreds Of homes in Missouri
walnut wood is still used for fire.
wood. But when a man burns walnut
lumber he is truly burning money, for
while the market price of the logs is
less now than 1t was ten years ago
and the demand is less, there is a
time coming when the lumber will be
worth 20 times what 1t is now. When
the walnut trees that are now a foot
in diameter grow to several feet
through they will be worth more than
any timber that grows in North Amer.
lea. There will always be a good de-
mand for timber of that size and the
larger the tree the more value 1t will
have.
