Cornering Music.

A foreigner made remark once that
the United States could never capture the
trade of musical artists. because We could
turn out only machine-made instruments.
This interested George Ethelbert Walsh,
one of our favorite contributors. and he
put together an article refuting the for
eigner's idea. He does refute it absolute

trade in the worlds music. True. We
can't turn out Stradivarius and Cromona
violins: but neither can the Europeans,
for that matter, for the secret OF their
manufacture died with their inventors.
But we Go make just about every other
musical machine under the sun. and of
much better quality than they ever were
in Europe. See out next Sunday Maya

Central Control Probable.

Coming then to the question Of the
probable effect Of this concentration, the
commissioner expresses his views as fol-
lows:
'Such concentration in standing timber,
If permitted to continue and increase.
makes probable a final central control of
the whole lumber industry. A few strong
interests ultimately holding the bulk of
the timber, can set the price of timber
and it's products. The manager of the
| National Lumber Manufacturers Asso-
citation recently, said to lumbermen on the
Pacific coast:
THE day of cheap lumber is passing
and soon will be gone, but the men who
make the money will be those who own
timber and can hold it until the supply in
other parts of the country is gone. Then
they can ask and get their own price,
Certain further factors, not exactly
measurable. Increase still more the real
concentration. First. a further inter

sonal. connects great many holdings
which the bureau has treated as separate;
| second, there are very large totals of tim
Der SO scattered in small tracts through
larger holdings that they are substan-
TALLY blocked in or controlled by the
larger holders: third. the concentration is
| much higher in the more valuable spe-
cies.
General information obtained indicates
very nigh concentration in timber own
ership outside the investigation area.
THE largest holders are cutting little
Of their timber. They thus reserve to
themselves those incalculable profits
which are still to accrue with the
with the growth Of the country. the
diminishing Of timber supply and the
further concentration and control
thereof. Many of the very men who
are protesting against conservation
and the national forest system because
of the tying up of natural resources
are themselves deliberately tying them
up far more effectively for private gain
The fact that mature timber is thus
withheld from use is clear evidence
that great additional profits are ex-
pected to accrue through further in
crease in value.
A Monopoly in Land.
Standing timber is not the only ques-
ton. When the timber has been cut the
land remains. There has been created
therefore. not only the framework Of an
enormous timber monopoly, but also an
equally sinister land concentration in ex-
tenSive sections. This involves also a
great wealth in minerals. The outhern
Pacific has 4,31S,W0 acres in northern
California and western Oregon, and. with

from combinations in manufacture and
distribution (as distinguished from tim
Der owning), such power is insignificant
and transitory compared to the control
of the standing timber itself or domi-
mating part thereof.
There is now left in continental Unit
ed States about 200, 900. co., 600 board feet
of privately owned standing timber. of
which 1.74I. 100000 Is in the lnvesi-
the bureau. This area includes the Pa
cific northwest, the southern pine re-
gion and the lake states. and contains
80 per cent of all the private timber IN
the country. In addition there are about
$50 600 100000 feet in the national for
ests and about 10000, 100000 feet on other
non-private lands. Thus the total amount
of standing timber in continental United
States is about OOO,OOo,OOO board feet.
The present annual drain upon the sup
ply Of saw timber is about $1,000. coo. COO
feet. At this rate the timber now stand
ing, without allowance for growth or de-
cay, would last only about fifty-f1ve
years.
.sThe present commercial value of the
privately owned standing timber in the
country, not including the value of the
land, is estimated Though such an es-
innate must be very roughly as at least
$4,000. 100000. Ultimately the consuming
public will have to pay such prices for
lumber as will give this timber a far
greater value
The commissioner declares that this is
the first comprehensive and methodical
investigation of the amount and owner
ship of our standing timber and explains
that it rests on the best information OBJ
tainable from records of timber owners
or the knowledge Of men in the industry,
information which daily forms the basis
of actual business dealings. This data,

Weyerhaeusers Are Second.

1.-The second largest holder is the Wey-

very extensive timber interests of the
Weyerhauser family and close associates
"These two holdings would supply the

Great Holders Of Timber.

Proceeding next to consider the concen-
tration of timber ownership. Mr. Smith
says:
Three vast holdings alone. the great
est in the country-those of the Southern
Pacific Company, the Weyerhaeuser Tim
Der Company and the Northern Pacific
Railway Company Including their SUBJ
sidiary ompanies)-together have 23s, 900.
100000 feet, or nearly IL per cent of all
our privately owned timber. They have
IA per cent of that in the investigation
area With the five next largest they have
over 10 per cent OF the total privately
owned timber and over ID per cent of
that within the investigation area. Final
ly, nearly one-half (4S per cent? of the
private timber in that area Is held by
only 1913 great holders The term "holder''
covers any single interest-individual. cor
porate or grOup-which is so united as to
be under one control.
The Pacific northwest-Five-elev
enths of the country's privately owned
standing timber in the Pacific
northwest, california, Oregon, Wash
ington. Idaho and Montana), lob bill
owned by thirty seven holders: many
of these are closely connected. The
three. largest holders (named above)
alone have nearly one-quarter This
section now furnishes only one-sixth
of the annual cut. Thus its timber is
being largely held for the future, and
the largest owners there will then be
the dominating influence in the in
dustry.
1.-The Southern Pacific Company holding
is the greatest in the United States-1U6
billion feet. This is about per cent OF
the private timber in the investigation
area, and 10 per cent of that in the Pa
cific northwest 1t is difficult to give an
adequate idea of its immensely. 1t stretch

The fastest train over this distance takes
thirty -one hours. During all that time
the traveller thereon is passing through
lands large portion of which for thirty
miles on each side belongs to the rail-
road. and in almost the entire strip this
corporation is the dominating owner of
both timber and land.

DIR. Allied speaks at length of his efforts
in connection with the project for the
construction of big new edifice for the
church. 1t is the failure of this scheme
on account of the difficulty of securing
site which the trustees could agree upon
as entirely suitable, which appears to
nave discouraged him most of all.
The great project" he says, has
completely broken down. We had in
mind something that would have given
US one OF the biggest churches in
American Professionalism, perhaps in the
Professionalism OF the world. Now we
realize the impossibility of this We
are just where we were, and that is
nowhere, and SO far as I can see there
is no outlet and very little hope.

Seeks Field Without Limitations.

1T is a question for me whether 1

of the little good | can do in New York

these associations for the sake of some

Mrs. Aked says that the incest people
in the world are to be found among
Americans: that the incest Americans
are in New York, and that the
incest in New York are in our church,
and as that represents the feeling of
both of us, you can understand that it
would be an absolute horror to feel
that ones work called one elsewhere.
THE question of salary does not weigh
with me. 1t is perfectly true that the
church has just raised my salary to
S12.CD from $4,000, but would rather
have third or quarter of that salary,
as l used to have and feel 1 was doing
some good in the world, than have big
salary and feel that l am, compared with
my English life, wasting my time.
