Bisbee daily review., 1910-11-05

The girls who teach in the schools have a way of getting married, and after they marry they stop teaching. It is said that a large percentage of the women teachers are married ey- cry summer after the close of school and this necessitates many new teach CTS. Another reason is that in many instances one of the girls of a fam fly teaches one year and then rests while her sister works. The work is divided perhaps among three girls, each teaching one season only. There are many young men, too, who teach while saving money to get a start in some profession and use the teaching only as a filler to a step forward.
 The small pay is responsible to some extent for the constant chang ing in teachers, as there is not much inducement to the young man 70 stay with the schools. Some few of the teachers shift from one district to another, and this changes the mailing lists, even though the teach CTS do not actually quit their work. The constant changing of teachers is said to be bad thing for the schools of the state. and the department of education will try 10 devise some
 plan to keep the teachers in their schools. The department head admit the difficulty of the task, but are do- ing what they can to counteract the tendency to leave the teachers chairs.

BIG CATTLE SHIPMENT

TUCSON, Nov. 4.-Before tomorrow evening three train loads of cattle. comprising s3 cars, will have passed through the city en route to Cali fornia- They will total obout 5000 head of cattle. at an estimated value of s60,000.
 Twenty-eight cars went through to- day, manifested from San Simeon to Parker.
 Thirty-two cars are scheduled to go through tonight, en route from Huachuca to Ventura. Cal, and g cars will go through tomorrow, bound for the coast.
 Next Sunday, 1t is stated. 1560 head of cattle belonging to the Ariysca Land and Cattle company, will be shipped from Tucson to the coast. They are reported to have been pur- chased by Isaac Bird.

evening the tone naturally drifted to things political in the Empire state, where the election is of national i'm portance, owing to the pernicious ac- tivity displayed by an ex-president-
 Mir. George is a republican but he sees little comfort for his party, ex- cept the anti-Roosevelt faction, in
 the outlook in New York state. Tt is all politics in New Yark state this year." said Mr. George. The cleo ton is hot one. Roosevelt has forced things his way, and the party organization resent this. The fight Is for and against Roosevelt and his new nat!onalism, and all the indications point to a crushing defeat for the former president He has lost much of his popularity and is losing more of it every day. In New York City business circles there is a confidence expressed that Dix will sweep the state. and it will be a democratic landslide. This is not at all displeas- ing to the old guard, nor to the con- servative business men who want a

MATR|M0NY PLAYS HOb
 fW|TH KENTUCKY SCHOOLS

FRANKFORT, Ky, Nov. 4.-what happens to the teachers in the pub lie schools of Kentucky is a question that is being talked of in the office of the superintendent of public in struction, being called forth by the revising of the mailing lists of the department. It is stated that less than 30 per cent. of the teachers in the schools of this state remain two successive years in the same school and probably less than 50 per cent. teach for two successive years. In revising the mailing list 1t is found that more than two-thirds of the names on the list are new ones. There are about 10000 teachers in the state. of this number only $500 teach two years in succession in the same school.
 IL is also shown that the larger number of changes are in the country schools. The few teachers who stick
 to their jobs are in the city schools.
 where usually the same teachers re-
 main for year after year, with a few changes On the lists will be found
 many city teachers who have been in the same school for many years, but in the country districts only a few veterans will be found. Usually nearly all of the teachers of any
 school are changed every year.
 One reason for this Is matrimony.

cent. of the total; in 1908, 15,056, ,000.- 900 fet, or 45.s per cent of the total: and in 1909, 22,057 ,o00. 600 feet. or 49.5 per cent. of the total. Yellow pine, including the several species, long leaf, shortleaf. ioblolly, Cuban, etc., constituted substantially the same per cent. of the total cut of Humber in these states in each of the three years, furnishing 72 per cent. in 1909, 72.S
 per cent in 1908, and 72.4 per cent. in 1907. The large increase in the
 number of mills reporting from this region in 1909 over 1908. namely, from |12,S24 to 23,255, amounted to nearly two-thirds of the total increase in the number of mills reporting for the entire United States between these years. The increase of this group of states. both in the number of mills and in cut, were due undoubtedly fin l large part to the many small mills in remote localities which were reached | by the agents in 1909, but which are
 difficult to canvas by mail. The linn ited output by mills of this class
 and size, however, is almost without
 exception consumed in the immediate
 vicinity of its manufacture, aud hence
 exerts little or no influence on supply and prices ir the general lumber market of the country.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The lum- Der cut in the United States during the calendar year 1909 was A ,5S5. .000,- 900 feet, board measure, as against 33,224, ,000, 900 feet in 1908, and 40.256, GOO 900 feet in 1907. This was an in- crease of 34.2 per cent. over 1908, and of 10.8 per cent. over 1907. The out put of lath and shingles during 1909 was 3.712 ,000,000 and 14.945, 900 900. respectively. The increase in the pro- duction of lath in 1909 over 1908 was 24.3 per cent. and over 1907 1.3 per cent, while the corresponding in- creases for shingles were 23.4 and 26.4 per cent.
 This information appears in pre- liminary competitive report covering 1909, 1908 and 1907, which is trans mitted today to Census Director Du- rand by Chief Statistician William M. Steuart, under whose supervision 1t was prepared by J. E. Whelchel, ex- pert special agent of the division Of manufacturers. In cooperation with the forest service of the Department of agriculture. the bureau of the cen sus annually collects and publishes statistics pertaining to the group of lumber and timber industries.
 The substantial increase over the two preceding years was general. few of the individual states showing a decreased cut The figures for 1908 and 1907 were collected by mail, and, while including the commercial mills of the country. did not in many cases cover the small neighborhood mills xyhoSe oiltput was consumed locally The relatively large increase in the number of mills reporting for 1909 together with the increase in the cut for that year, was due largely to the fact that the field force of the census bureau, which was engaged in gather ing ,stateistics of all branches Of man ufacture throughout the United States. secured returns from practi cally every sawmill in operation dur ing the whole or any part of 1909 without regard to its size, and in this way there have been included many small mills not covered by the mai census In the proceeding years.
 In the group of coast states, from Virginia to Texas, inclusive, together with Arkansas and Oklahoma, there stands probably not less than nine fenths of the present supply of yellow pine stumpage. The proportion o the total cut of lumber in the Unitet States contributed by this group, to gether with Kentucky and Tennessee has been steadily increasing during recent years. In 1907 their outpu was 17,s34,0o0,o 900 feet, or 44.3 pel
