LUMBER INDUSTRY RANKS HIGH.

Final statistics Of the lumber indus
try in the United States for 1909 are
presented in detail in bulletin soon
TO be issued by Director Harris of the
bureau Of the census department OF
commerce. 1t was prepared under the
supervision of W. NJ Steuart. chief
statistiCian for manufactures.
For the lumber industry as a whole

are distinguished: % Logging camps
and merchant sawmills. including plan
ing mills, where operated in connec-
ton with sawmills; (2) independent
planning mills; 60 wooden packing
box factories; and (D custom saw
mills.
The establishments in the lumber in
dustry as a whole numbered 44,S04 in
1909, had a total capital OF $1,1S2,-
330,552 gave employment to an aver
age of 797,825 persons, of whom 1922
100 were earners, and paid out $751;
$685. 55 in salaries and wages The
cost of the materials used in the in
dustry as a whole was S508,215,153,
which is equal to 1873 per cent. of the
total value of products 81. 100 GA ,62S),
and the value added by manufacture;
that is. the value Of product less cost
of materials. was 1852 .429,475. In ad-
ditiOn to the above products, lumber
and it's more elementary products to
the value of $5.667.95O were reported
for 1909 by establishments engaged
primarily in the manufacture of other
products, chiefly furniture and refrig-
orators, fancy and paper boxes, and
pianos and organs and materials.

loop of silk cord which slips over an
ornament provided for it.
The coat is lined with soft satin in
one of the popular weaves. A scant
puff of chiffon finishes the sleeve on
the under side.
Chiffon broadcloth and any of the
other supple cloths will develop we'll
in this model. There are numbers of
brocaded fabrics to choose from also,
when one is looking for a suitable
fabric. If silk is chosen, an interim
ing of outing flannel, or something
similar must be provided for warmth.
A collar of chinchilla fur is shown
in the model, which is novel in cut,
but not so comfortable and not so
luxurious looking as the ordinary
shawl collar Tor the neckpiece) of
fur. This coat will be worn without
fur, and it is better to finish it with
a shaped border of velvet at the neck
and wear a separate neckpiece and
muff Of fur when the weather de-
mands them.
The decidedly oriental turban which
appears in the picture is of chiffon
outlined with pearls. Airy as it is,
it manages to support a long and
heavy ostrich plume. More true to
the original model and more effective,
a standing fan of feathers or an ORR
entail looking ornament might finish
the soft headdress appropriately. But
there is a sort of fad for extremely
long standing feathers. They look bet
ter on more substantial looking head
wear.

Brussels is divided into two parts,
an upper and lower section. The
latter is the old part of the city and
the commercial center, where are all
the big shops and theaters. In the up

residences and the government build

On the hill which divides these two
sections is built the largest building in
Europe, the Palais de Justice. Its po-

who was a much more popular mon
arch than the present king.
The splendid thoroughfare, Avenue
Louise, is also located in the new part
of the town. It is tastefully laid oU
with flower beds and decorated by
statues of many famous Belgians.
Part way down the hill to the old
part of the town stands a wonderful

The Kaws celebrated their home com

at the helm for the Kaws and never
but once was he in trouble. He helo
Wichita to three hits. The rest of the
time he had the visitors eating OUT

Roxy Middleton was the first of the
visitors to get a safe hit. He led on
in the fifth inning and hit a hot drive
through the diamond and along the
third base foul line. Incidentally, he
was the first of the visitors to get on
base.
The remainder of Reynolds trouble
with the visitors was in the seventh
Hughes led off and drew a pass. Davis

infield hit to the short field. There
was some question concerning this play

The Kaws led off by getting brace
of runs in the very first inning Coon

ball. Lee sacrificed. Forsythe was hit
by a pitched ball. McLarry struck out.
Rapps singled to left and both men
scored.
With two down in the second, Rey-

and scored on Cochran's double. For
sythe led off in the fifth and hit for
two bases. He scored on Rapps' sin
gle to right field.
The Kaws got their last runs in the
seventh. Cochran led off and singled,
stole second. Lee flew out. McLarry
hit to right and both men scored.
Smith at second and McAllister, the
new catcher, who was brought from
Buffalo of the International League,
made their first appearance on the
local lot Smith had but three chances
and looked good. There is little ques-
ton about his fielding ability as he was
among the leaders in the Texas League
last year.
McAllister is an old player. He is
good receiver and coached the Ok
lahoma cowboy well. He held him up
on occasions when he showed a tenden-
cy TO get in a hurry or use bad judg-
ment. Judging from their appearances
they will do.
George Cochran was at third base
in the place of Pat Dulin. Dulin will
draw his release today. He hit bad
batting slump and Gear can't see his
way clear to hold him. Cochran is
good hitter and looks better at third
than any other place on the team and
Gear has announced that he will play
regularly in the third base position.
The game was not called until $3.50 on
account of the muddy infield.

The flow of events was more placid
IN the American League, Philadelphia,
Cleveland and Washington moving
along in the even tenor, each taking
three games and losing one and main
tanning their relative distances from
each other in the first three places of
the percentage table. CHICAGO while
not able to advance beyond fourth
place, gained the most ground of any
team, dropping only one game out of
SIX and drawing materially closer to
the Washingtons.
ReVerting to the National League sit
uation, the rise of Philadelphia was
perhaps the most impressive perform
ance of the week. To take three games
IN a row from the Giants indicated
class of kind which makes Manager
Doon's present combinatio look
dangerous.
The development of ST Louis, while
possibly less sensational, was even
more of a surprise in its way.
There is promise of decidedly inter-
est1ng developments in the American
League race when the st versus west
series begin Wednesday.
Cleveland has been walking through
the western territory as it plea sed but
what the club will do against the east
ern visitors is a problem. Chicago,
too, has been having a comparatively
easy time of it, and the visits of Wash
1ngton, Philadelphia and Boston to the
White Sox park are happenings that
will be awaited with interest

through the week with three victories

they ran up against Walter Johnson
