Washington. Oct. 15.-From reports
from $4,000 correspondents of the bur-
can OF statistics of the department OF
agriculture experts will say in the
fourthcoming publication Of that de-
partment that more than l46,o00.00o
cords OF firewood is consumed for fuel
annually in the United States. This
immense amount Of wood produces an
annual revenue of approximately
$322 900. 900. or an average of $2.21
per cord OF this amount 70.000.000
cords was used on farms. 12.6l5 600
| cords in towns and cities with popu-
lation of from 1000 to $4,000 and the
remainder in the large cities and in
mineral operations.
Notwithstanding the absolute neces-
sity for wood as q fuel, 1t is shown
that the annual consumption is rapid
| ly decreasing. This information was
obtained from coal and wood firms
and through special agents of the Gen.
sus bureau of the. department OF the
commerce and labor. From numerous
| other sources, it was learned that a
little more than 10000, 100000 cubic
feet of wood in all forms is used in
the United States each year about
1000, 100000 cubic feet Of which is
firewood.
| In the quantity of firewood used on
farms. Tennessee. with 4,420.90O cords
was the leading state. followed by
Pennsylvania. Illinois. North Carolina
Arkansas, Mississippi, Kentucky and
Virginia. These states consumed
nearly 35,00O,O0O cords or about SO
percent of the total quantity used on
farms. On account Of the climate the
distance from coal fields, the develop,
ment Of transportation facilities. and
the progressiveness of the consumers
the quantity of firewood used on
farms varies greatly.
Albert E. Pierson, forest assistant
of the department of agriculture states
that "the number OF villages and
towns under 1000 population in re
gion also affects the quantity of wood
used. Except on the Pacific coas,
states and in Arkansas, Louisiana and
Missouri" he says, the consumption
per farm west Of Mississippi river Ii
comparatively small. The states north
of the Ohio river use rather less fire

From information gathered by the
treasury department II Is quite possi-
| BILE that plan for validating bills OF
| lading covering shipments OF cotton
for export between the United States
| and Great Britain will be perfected

ers associations. Just In what form
the proposition is to be accomplished
is not known here, but it Ii intimated
that project has been started by
/ financiers that will ultimately lead to
a satisfactory solution OF the diff
Guilty.
| Hitherto, European bankers have
consistently refused to accept the vail
dation plan, and the comptroller OF
the currency at the treasury depart
ment has refused to allow national
banks to guarantee bills Of lading.
This left the whole question In q very
bemuddled state and finally resulted
in an attempt by the English associa.
tons OF bankers to form q working
plan with the American association.
I Since the cotton crop this year Is esti,
mated to be worth about $50. .00o
and since Europe tales most or 1t. a
settlement is desired both here and
abroad.
The whole question was brought
about several months ago when an
Alabama firm of cotton brokers failed
! and several banks In Liverpool which
! held bills OF lading for cotton obtained
through them found that some OF the
; paper had been forged. Shortly there
, after notice was given by European
bankers that after October 31st, the,
would not accept American cottol
. bills OF lading unless guaranteed.

Henry Homestead Sold.

The Henry homestead on the lake
shore between Chelan and Lakeside
changed hands this week at con-
sideration of 1900. Gen. Frank A.
Morris, one of Chelan's recently &C
quired and very highly esteemed
citizens, was the purchaser. 1t is
understood that others are interest
ed with him in the deal and that
within a few months several fine
homes will be erected on the land.
The deal between the parties was
contaminated Tuesday through the
o. A. Hoax real estate agency, and
the purchaser will take possession OF
the property soon and begin improv-
ing it. There are 200 acres in the
place, AMI Of this about sixty acres
is fine orchard land and we'll stu
ated for subdivision into acreage
tracts. It has a frontage Of several
hundred feet on the lake shore and
all the tillable land can be readily
irrigated by pumping from the lake.
There is also large spring on the
place, which with development will
afford large quantity of water for
domestic use and for irrigation.
The Henry family are pioneers of
the Lake Chelan valley, and this
ranch has been their home since they
settled on the lake nearly twenty
years ago The estate reserved a
small tract with 100 feet of lake
frontage, as home place for Mrs.
Henry .-Chelan Leader.

WENATCHEE AND OKANOGAN.

There is more than one reason why
the people of Wenatchee take an
interest in the development that is
now going on in the Okanogan coun-
try. 1t is not from a purely selfish
motive that prompts Wenatchee peo-
pie to say a good word for the great
undeveloped country to the north.
Rather it is a fact that the problems
of the up-river country are the self
same ones through which the Wen
atchee district has passed. The Ok
anogan and Methow valleys are equal
in resources to the Wenatchee val
ley. That this is recognized by the
people of this section is patent from
the fact that much of the develop
ment that is going on in that region
is directly traceable to the encour-
agement given in the Wenatchee
valley. A friendly feeling in these
several parts of North Central Wash
ington is evidenced by the friendly
comments of the press of that dis
trict.
