"The bird will be company for you

q whipporwill's song is bit mournful,
but l don't. It's fact that he sings
with such fervor as makes the first

grief. You had no idea that was

"No-o-o."

We used more than 5000, 600 cords OF
native wood in our paper mills. This
was mainly spruce and hemlock; and
millions went into notions of one kind
or other. The tooth pick, for instance,
is little more than a splinter; but we
have one factory III Maine which makes
half billion of them every year We
have other places which turn out clothes
pins and wooden spools by the hundreds
of millions. Several hundred acres of
forests are annually burnt up as matches.
and more than 5000 acres are cut into
shoe pegs in the space of twelve months.
And then, there is the enormous amount
that goes into furniture, and into carts,
carriages and cars of all kinds. The
shingles. most of which come from the
far west, are 3,1OO million in number and
the laths are four times as great. There
is steady increase in all of these
products so that the lumber we are
using is beyond conception enormous.
All told. il sells for something like
Loo million dollars year; and the bust
ness of getting il out and putting 1t on
the market annually employs more than
one million men, who receive over 100
million dollars in wages.
This consumption is enough to make
us pause and wonder where we shall
get our wood for the future This is
one of the warnings of Uncle Sam,
patriarch. who is doing all he can to
cut down the waste. In the national
forests. of which / write more farther
on, he has his men on the outlook for
fires, and he gives plans for cutting
and caring for any private forests so
that the woods may last longer Any

lars. and that the standing timber upon
them is worth close to billion. He
said that the forests ought to eventually
bring in an income of about six million
dollars year by cutting only the ripe
and dead and down timber. and at the
same time yield some additional revenue
from the lands used for grazing.
These forests will grow in value and
in the amount of wood which they con-
tain. so that when our private forests
are cut away they will give us the lum-
Der of the future. In addition. they con-
troll the sources of our rivers and are
the basis of the water supply of those re-
giOns. 1t is also estimated that the Wa
terfalls i'm the woods are equal to fifteen
million horsepower. They will some time
be harnessed. on leases made by the gov
eminent, and will thereby add to the
revenue.
The forestry men tell me that the
work of patrolling Uncle Sans woods
is being rapidly extended. and espe-
cially since the terri BILE fires of last
year. So far about five thousand miles
of roads and sixteen thousand miles of
trails have been cut. Fire lines are
being built, and a system of telephone
lines has been put up, connecting the
ranger headquarters with the lookout
stations.
Each of the forests is divided up
into districts about six miles square,
ana every district is IN charge OF d
ranger who goes to his post in May and
stays until the rains begin in October.
These rangers carry their own sup
plies. comprising tent. r fe and
plenty Of ammunition and food. At
present there are about twelve hun
dred men who act as rangers, and
there are forest guards numbering $50.
There are also hunters and trappers,
making altogether a corps OF about
twenty-five hundred men in active
charge Of the national forests. In ad-
ditiOn, there are something like 600
scientists and clerks. who are en-
ployed here in Washington and at the
district headquarters.
The number of men in charge Of the
forests should be increased. AS it Is
now there is only one man for every
hundred thousand acres, whereas
Prussia keeps a man for every seven
teen hundred acres, and Baden one for
every seven hundred and fifty acres.
The lack Of men was evident in the
fires of last year. They occurred at the
end Of the drought, beginning in June
and reaching their climax in August. Con-
gress had appropriated s60o.OOO for pro-
tecting the woods, but this was not

Over these big league clubs as we'll as

like fourteen hundred million feet of
boards being SO treated last year. We
are now using about sixty million gallons
of creosote and nineteen million pounds
of zinc chloride for this purpose.
AS to the losses by fire, they are still
of enormous extent. From 1880 to 1896
they averaged S50G0,UOU per annum. OF
all the private forests not more than one
per cent has now an efficient system OF
fire protection, and only the largest of
the private owners keep a forest fire pa
troll.
The government estimates that about
ne-fourth of all the timber logged out
on the forest goes to waste. This comes
from careless cutting, the leaving of
large stumps and the not using the tops
and branches. In the mills the thick
gang-saw blades turn a great deal OF
lumber to dust, and it is calculated that
if thin band saws took their places the
saving would be more than two thousand
million board feet per annum.
Another feature of the government
work is the treatment of the turpentine
farms. The turpentine comes from the
resinouS gum which ooZeS out of the
SCARED pine tree into hole, cut at the
foot of the trunk, called a box. This
cutting, year after year. soon kills the
tree. Now, in place of the box. tin
troughs are fastened below the scars
and a clay jar catches the gum.
Uncle Sans scientists say that there
is an enormous amount of turpentine in
the refuse of the sawmillsf of the SOUTH
and that this might be saved, yielding
about 36Oo0,00O gallons a year. or a value
of more than S10,OOO,O0O.

The chief work of the forestry bureau,
however is taking care of the national
forests These are OF enormous extent,
and they growing in value each
year. They now cover 1913 million acres.
In round numbers they are about equal
to eight states as big as Kentucky or
Virginia. and they have more than $40
billion board feet of merchantable
timber. At this estimate they contain
about one-tenth of the woods which COW
cred the United States at the time 1T be-
gan to be settled: and going back TO our
homely comparison. contain enough lum-
Der to make a board walk a foot wide

The value Of these government wood
lands cannot be overestimated. Mr.. Gift

comparisons. Take for instance, ne
woods which covered this country along
about 1000, at the time Capt John Smith
landed at the mouth of the James.
They had an area greater than one-third
Of all Europe. and considerably more
than one-fourth of the whole United
States. including Alaska. The forestry
service estimates that the stand of mer-
charitable timber then equaled more than
five thousand billion feet, or enough to
construct a board walk a foot wide and
an inch thick, and one billion miles long.
That amount of lumber would have COW

a week or 81 O4O a year In order to see
that this rule, as well as Others was
faithfully observed, the Foot Ball Asso-
citation claimed the right to inspect the
books of every club whenever it wished
and to have submitted to it a detailed
balance sheet at the end of every year
The Foot Ball Association can talk as
much as it wants, but the fact remains
that this salary rule has been consistently
broken In hundreds of Instances through
out England 1t is safe to say that there
IL not desirable player in the whole
country who is receiving so little as the
maximum salary allowed by the rules of
the association. For some wears il has
been known to those on the inside that
Sioo week is the salary demanded by
the best players.
~
These illegal salaries were concealed bv
making false returns to the Foot Ball
Association. The books were kept regu-
lar by system of cheating the turn
stiles at the admission gates. y large
part of the money taken at the gates was
thus unrecorded and went to the fund
for the payment of the unlawful salaries.
A year ago the Foot Ball Association
attempted 10 ease it's conscience little.
1t could not have been ignorant of mat
tiers known to everybody else connected
with the game So the rule fixing a
maximum salary was dropped and the
matter left to the individual clubs. Now
many of the clubs provide that players
shall receive, in addition to their regular
salaries bonuses for winning games. for
winning championships and for various
other reasons. but that has by no means
one away with the secret salaries.
The officials of the Foot Ball Associa-
ton claim that even under the pres
ent conditions the S20-a-week maximum
still holds. except in the case of the
larger clubs, because the smaller organ
liza tons cannot afford to pay more to
player. even if they wished
1t will be seen, then. that playing pro-
fessional foot ball in England is not as
lucrative a job as playing professional
base ball I'm the United States. The 5000
Il year which the best footballers receive
compares poorly with the sum running
TO twice that amount shat is paid to the
stars of the base ball diamond. A foot
baller works nine months out of the year.
from August to April, so that he has but
three remaining months in which to sup
plemeut his .'meager' wage. A base
bail player works but six out of the
twelve months for his much fatter en-
velope
The buying and selling of players IS
as keen i'm this country i'm the United
States. although in that respect also the
scale of prices is lower. Simpson. one of
the best players in the game, was last
year bought by the Blackburn Rovers. In
competition with the other clubs of the
Foot Ball League, for the unprecedented
price of $1,000

The profits of professional foot ball are
known only to those who manipulate its
finances. Most of the clubs are SO in
corporated that the stockholders receive
not more than 3 per cent on their hold
ings. The capitalization is usually ex-
tremely small. and what becomes of the
immense sums that are sometimes made
is a mystery to all save those who are
in the confidence OF the directors them
