This the Value of FirewoOd Used An.
nually.


Washington, Sept S0--The flrewood
Of the value Of S240, s40,72S Is used on
the farms, ia the towns and small cities,
in cities and in mineral operations an
nualy. This value, placed by the Unit
ed States forest service. represents So.
938.s0G cords, estimated TO be worth
S20l a cord, According TO the statistics
the service has compiled, there il con-
sumed in Massachusetts, annually 9sd,-
32l cords, Of the value Of Si,663,5d7
While the average selling price Of wood
for the country as q whole is given as
S2,Ql, il is fixed AZ SAGA in Massacnu
sets.
The statistics given out BY the forest
service are based on information oh.
tanned from inquiries sent TO $4,000
county and crop correspondents OF the
bureau OF statistics in the agricultural
department, supplemented In towns aud
cities Of from 1000 to 10000 popula-
ton BY inquiries to representative firms
engaged Ina the coal and wood business,
aud IN cities OF over $4,000 population,
by reports Of special agents of the bu-
reau OF the census OF the total con-
sumption of frewoOd, seventy million
cords, or STA per cent, is used on the
farms; 100000 cords, or l4.T per cent.
in the towns and cities with q popu-
lation Of from 1000 to 10000; l,6l5000
cords, or / % per cent, in cities Of over
10000 population; and the remainder,
OF per cent, in mineral operations
The quantity OF frewood used on the
farms varies greatly between different
parts of the country on account Of a
number OF influences, such as climate
The distance from coal fields, the deyel-
opment OF transportation facilities, and
the progressiveness of the consumers.
The states north OF the Ohio river use
rather less frewood per farm than those
south Of IL. Though this may at first
glance seem strange because the climate
Of the northern states is colder than
that Of the southern states, it is ex-
planned largely BY the fact that in the
North stoves burning wood or coal are
commonly used. while m the South open
hreplaces are more general.
In the New England states and in the
south Atlantic states more wood is used
per farm than in the middle Atlantic
states, which are within a short distance
Of fine coal fields and which have good
transportation facilities. The value OF
the total quantity of the wood used for
fuel in Michigan, Texas, New York. Wis
cousin, Indiana. Missouri and Minnesota,
leading states In point Of value, exceed
ed Ss5,000,0OO, or more than 0ne-third
of the value Of all the frewood used
The forest service does not find that
there is any decrease in the amount Of
wood used for fuel. Il is pointed out
that the greater part OF the frewood
is obtained from farmers woodlots,
which often have very little value for
other purposes, but where good timber
is plentiful, much that ought TO be used
for lumber, cross ties, cooperage and
similar purposes, is cut for fuel

SHORT SESSION Of
CONGRESS OPENED
President Has Ambitious Pro-
qram fer the Lawmakers.
MAY MEET WITH OBSTRUCTION
Reapportionmen and Tariff Board
Measures Likely to Cause Fights
Events Tending Toward
Extra Session.

Washington, Dec. 5.-Upon the
temper of the Democratic leaders de-
ponds entirely the amount and the
character of the legislation to be en-
acted into law at the last session OF
the 61st congress, which convened at
noon today. According to all reports,
President Taft and his advisers have
outlined an ambitious program. How
much of it he may be able to put
through is problem no one at this
early day would be justified in pre-
dieting.
The short session of congress ex-
pires by constitutional limitation IN
three months. There usually is holi-
day recess that consumes fortnight.
Adjournments over from Friday to
Monday cause loss of valuable time,
and in the end, by reason OF these
various causes, there remain only
about sixty working days for the con-
gress, reduced to half that in the
house as a result of the new rules.
Within this short space experience mas
proved that it is we'll nigh impossi-
BILE to do more than enact the supply
bills by which the funds are provided
for the maintenance and support OF
the various branches of the govern
ment.
Special rules providing for emer-
gencies are possible in the house and
there debate can be limited and delay
prevented. In the senate there is
nothing akin to cloture, and so long
as a single senator desires to speak
there is no way to bring debate to a

TO IMPEACH BALLINGER.
Democrats to Introduce Resolution
Into House Next Week.

Washington, Dec. ga resolution
to impeach Secretary of the Interior
Richard A. Ballinger may be intro
duced in the house early next week
by the Democrats. Representative J.
T. Heflin, of Alabama, will introduce
the resolution. Heflin is close per-
sonal friend of Representative Ollie
M. James, of Kentucky, who is a mem.
Der of the Ballinger-Pinchot investi-
eating committee. While the demand
for impeachment, if made, will be
based largely on the evidence intro
duced and the findings made by the
minority of this investigating COM
mittee, it would not accord with pre-
vious custom for member of the
committee itself to introduce such a
resolution in advance of the receipt
of the full reports of the committee
by congress.
It is not understood here that the
Democrats have finally determined
upon this move. The minority mem.
bers of the committee are expected
to meet together tomorrow and if any
action is taken along this or any other
line in the near future, it probably
will be decided at this meeting.
RumOrs to the effect that an i'm.
parchment step is contemplated have
reached the ears of Senator Nelsul,
chairman of the investigating COM
mittee, and to several of his col.
leagues on the Republican side.

Important Happenings Of the

MONTANA BANKS FAIL.
Basin and Harlowton institutions
Close Doors and Depostors Suffer.

Butte.-The Hewitt State Bank at
Basin, Mont, was closed by the state
examiner today, acting upon orders
from Attorney General A. j. Galen.
A statement was made to the effect
that the stockholders have overdrawn
and the bank has failed to pay as
a investment. M. l.. Hewitt, mining
promoter, is president, and former
Governor A. e. Spriggs is vice-presi-
dent. The capital stock is 100000
and the deposits $4,000.
The banking firm of Friday & Jen.
niseens, at Harlowton, was closed to-
day, and as a result several Harlow
ton business firms have passed into
receivers hands. The extent of the
liabilities of the bank and it's assets
are not yet known, pending state
ment to follow examination.

Dark Skins and Malaria.

In a recent issue of daily paper
we find it stated on the anonymous
authority of a we'll known London
doctor that blackness of the skin,
however produced, protects against
malaria, and it is said that 'if you
are going to country where malaria
is rife stain yourself all over with
walnut juice, or black yourself with
burnt cork and you will be less liable
to catch the disease"
And the explanation is given that
the browning of the skin prevents
the actinic rays of sunlight penetrat-
ing the skin and so helping the malar-
ial parasite to mature; and therefore
we are told "if white men had arti-
black underclothing they would be in
the same position as the natives-prO-
tected to certain extent against the
malarial parasite maturing"
We should be interested to know on
what facts the well known London
doctor" bases his statement. 1t is
true that on the whole, the colOred
races suffer less severely from ma
laria than the white races, but we are
not aware of any evidence which even
suggests that this is due to the color
of the skin. OF course it is possible
that the staining of the skin with
walnut juice or burnt cork may have
a deterrent effect on the mosquito
and SO prevent the incubation of the
parasite, but this, we should imagine
was more than doubtful. The immu
nifty of the savage races is probably
the result of evolution by selection.

close. 1t is in the senate, therefore,
that the danger comes If obstacles
are thown in the way Of an outlined
legislative program. In the face of
all this the administration has mapped
out a program that will require the
most adroit political and legislative
management to bring it to fruition.
May Block Reapportonment.
Chief among the matters attracting
attention, in view of the result of the
recent elections, is the proposed reap
portionment. This is the determine
ton of the allotment of members of
the house of representatives to the
various states, based upon the popu-
lation ascertained by each decennial
census. While this ought not to be a
political question, it invariably in
wolves politics, and the Republicans
are anxious to deal with it while they
control both houses of congress. 1t
is not essential that this new reap
portionment be enacted into law at
this session, and if bill considered
unfair be submitted, the Democrats
in the senate may be counted upon to
prevent its conclusion before March
8.

to the tariff board for which the presi-
dent will ask still larger appropria-
ton and, incidentally, increased au-
thority in the matter Of conducting
