WOOD EXPORTS TO ORIENT
FROM u. S. ARE GROWING
Pacific Coast Products in Many
Cases Take Place Of Ma
tive Supply.

Recent statistics indicate a marked in.
crease in exports of lumber from the
United States to the orient. More than
quarter Of a million feet Of American
woods are reported as being used in
Samoa. Hawaii and the Philippine Islands.
Heretofore. 1t is said. raw materials
have been made up into finished articles
in the United States. almost without ex-
ception, and exported as such. With the
discovery by American manufacturers in
the Philippines that they could import
United States woods and make them up
with profit there, wood-using factories
were built. Pacific coast woods, In con-
sequence, are in many cases taking the
place of the native woods with such pic
turesaue names as apitong, teak, nara
and yacal.
Douglas fir. according to the informa-
ton collected by the forest service, is
the principal wood exported from this
country. 1t is said to be the favorite
wood among insular manufacturers for
flooring, ceiling, siding. cornice. shelving,
finish and boat work. Makers Of furni-
ture demand California redwood and
sugar pine. southern quarter-sawed oak.
eastern ash, sugar maple and western
white pine.
Four woods. principally cOnifers and
oaks, go into the construction of boats;
for framing parts, masts. spars, interior
trim planking. boat crooks and tiller
handles. Meat blocks are made from
sugar maple. which with sycamore sup

tective Evans and Policeman Garfield of

ROCKVILLE, Md. August %, 1913.
The usual big Thursday crowd attended
the fair today. Most OF those who attend
but one day select Thursday. and as a
result the crowd generally numbers
many thousands more on that day than
any other. Today was no exception to
that rule and tremendous throng was
on hand.
The visitors began to reach the grounds
at a very early hour. They came by
train. electric cars. automobile. carriage
and on foot. and filed through the gates
in steady streams until well into the aft
ernoon. They seemed to come from
everywhere. this county and the District
of Columbia, of course. furnishing the
bulk. Whe nthe crowd was at its height
it was estimated at more than $1,000. The
big outpouring insures the financial sue
cess of the exhibition, the management
expecting substantial balance after all
expenses are paid.

pressed in his offer. ''of erecting and
maintaining at The Hague a courthouse
and library for the permanent court Of
arbitration. Established by the treaty of
the 10Th Of July. 1897
To provide a site for this, the first
structure ever erected for such a pur-
pose, the Dutch government appropriated
$ZI5.OOO. The site selected is in a section
or wooded and hilly park stretching from
The Hague to Scheveningen, and the
cornerstone was laid July 30, 1907.
A worldwide competition for plans and
designs for the Peace Palace was estab-
lished and the first prize was awarded to
Mr. Cordonniere, a Brussels architect The
building as completed, however, does not
represent the original plans, the Carnegie
committee having reserved the right to
