the year previous. More could be done,
says the report. in suppressing this saw

were large enough to occupy many local

the constabulary of the district. which

taken from the wild Igorote tribes. They
are doing well as soldiers making excel
lent sentinels, and, as rule. are good
marksmen. The strength of the constab-
ulary at the close of the year was 315
officers and 4.573 men, distributed through
the archipelago in 134 stations. No United
States troops have been on active field
service during the year, excepting in the
Department of Mindanao. The strength
is below what the director thinks is nee
essary for efficient work. but on the whole
the year has shown added protection to

SEEKING NEW WOODS.
Supply of Red Cedar for Pencils VIII
Be Exhausted In Five Years.

Washington, March 16-Recent con-
ferences of representatives of the De-
partment of Agriculture with several
lead-pencil manufacturers have re-
suited in plans for testing new woods
to find out whether they can be used
in the pencil industry. According to
some of the manufacturers, the sup
Div of red cedar, which furnishes
practically all the wood for the annual
output of some 25,000,000 pencils, will
be exhausted within five years. A
substitute must be found which will
white easily, which shall contain a.
large amount of material free of knots,
which shall not be porous. nor spongy,
nor unduly hard, and which shall oc-
cur in sufficient quantities to meet the
manufacturers demand.
In view of this and at the suggestion
of the pencil makers, the Forest Ser
vice is TO cooperate in test OF
number of National Forest woods
Among those to be tried are Rocky
Mountain red cedar, alligator juniper
western juniper. redwood, incense
cedar, western cedar, Port Oxford
cedar. and Alaska cypress Wood
specimens collected from the National
Forests will be sent to four leading
manufacturers. who have agreed to
make pencils of them. The manu-
facturers will keep a record of the
tests and report to the Forest Service
the results. as well as their judgment
as to the fitness of the individual
woods
The Forest Service is assisting in
this eXperinent because there are on
the National Forests large quantities
of jumpers and cedars which may be
suitable for pencil manufacture. For
several of these woods no very valu-
able use has yet been discovered.
Foresters believe that in the future
the woods from the National Forests
may, to considerable extent, come
into use to supplement the diminish
ing stock of eastern woods, the supply
of which has received no protection.

His time was 40 I3-l00 seconds, as
against II 23-100 seconds made with

In the preliminary trials George

in 90 1S-l00 seconds.
The best previous official record for

made at Ormond Beach, Fla. in 200

at al average of 1898 miles an hour.
The best speed ever made by loco
