LUMBER
Business In The United States
SurpaSSGS Previous Records

Washington, Aug. 2-The national
forest business done during the fiscal
year which ended June 80 surpassed
all previous records. The receipts
from the forests approached $780,
000, of which about one half was for
timber, while contracts entered into
for the sale of timber to be cut either
at once or in later years totaled about
$4,000,000 These sale contracts per-
init the cutting period to extend over
number of years when large bodies
of timber are involved.
Under existing laws 35 per cent of
the gross receipts, or between $780,
900 and 100000, will go to the bene-
fit of the states in which the forests
are situated, for schools and roads.
The records show that the volume
of sales contracted for in different
years fluctuates widely, with ups and
downs according to general business
conditions, while the actual cut has
shown fairly steady tendency to ad-
vance. In the fiscal year 1906 (July
1, 1905, to June 80, 1906), the first full
year after the forest service was put
in charge of the forests, the timber
receipts were about $250,000 in the
fiscal year 1907 something less than
100000, and in 1908 about $850,O00
In 1909 timber receipts dropped back
to less than $75O,0OO, but in 1910 and
again in 1911 were over $1,000,000, and
in 1912 were nearly $1,100,000, as
against about $1,250,O00 for the year
just closed
Forestry officials say that the prin
ipal factor in determining how much
timber will be sold in any given yeai
is the general lumber market, which
in turn depends largely on genera
business conditions. Thus, when in
dications are that period of brisk
demand is ahead, with increased
building activity, railroad construc
ton, mining development, and othel
forms of business expansion that cal
for lumber or timber, operators are
seeking contracts. When business
halts lumbermen naturally go slowl,
in the matter of committing them
selves by new purchases on large
scale. But cutting under earlier pur
chases and small sales continues ever
in periods of depression. The grad
ual diminution of outside sources o
supply and the steady development o
the county, which creates Increases
local demands, tend to Offset the ei
| fects of such periods.

miss ZIEGLER BLAMES
HER FOSTER MOTHER
Says UnaccOuntable Hatred
Caused Her to Be DiSin-
hprited.

Details of the estrangemcnt between
Miss Florence Louise Iieglcr and her fos-
ter father, the late William Iieglcr. came
out yesterday in the Surrogates court
when her petition in a proceeding to
set aside the revocation of her adoption
by her foster father was filed.
She is a daughter OF George WASH
ington Brandt Of Davenport. Ia, half
brother OF william Ziegler. and Is a
kindergarten teacher there. n she sue
cceds in her application she will he
entitled to an interest in the $4,000. 900
estate which went to her brother, Will
lam Ziegler. Jr. who was also adopted
by the baking powder manufacturer.
Miss Ziegler says in her petition that
the revocation proceedings were en-
tered into by William Ziegler and his
wife, Matilda f. Ziegler. and her father.
George w. Brandt, but that her own
mother. now Mrs. Anna Fl. Haney Of
East Orange, N. j.. was not n party to
the proceedings, and the petitioner,
being a minor. was not competent to
oppose them. Miss Ziegler says:
Your petitioner AYERS that during
the time she maintained the status in
the home Of William Ziegler and wife rs
their adopted daughter, for some whim.
steal. insufficient and unaccountable
reason her foster mother early formed
a feeling OF II, will toward your pc
titioner which gradually grew into an
intense hatred; and she commenced a
long and persistent and continued cam
paign Of poisoning the mind of her said
foster father against her. to combat
which influence and efforts your petit
toner was utterly powerless. and the
same finally eliminated in an avowed
purpose on the part Of her said. foster
parents to have abrogated and set at
naught her said adoption, and to will
fully and causelessly disrupt her said
status as a daughter to them"
The daughters adoption was re-
voked in 1902. Surrogate Cohalan signed
an order yesterday directing Mayor
Gaynor and the other trustees Of the
Ziegler estate. and Miss Ziegler's father
and mother. to show cause why the
revocation Of tho adoption should not
be set aside.
