SHIFT IN THE RANK
OF LUMBER STATES
Census Figures Show Many Changes
in 1909 in Comparison
With 1904.

Numerous changes have taken place III
the rank of states producing lumber in
1900 compared with 1904. according to
statistics just published by the census
bureau.
Washington, which in 1904 was fifth,
jumped to the head of the column; Louis
lana advanced from seventh to third
place and Mississippi from thirteenth to
ninth. Wisconsin. which ranked second
In the value of products in 1904, dropped
to fifth place in 1900: Pennsylvania went
sixth to tenth.
Measured by the value of the products
the lumber industry ranked third among
all the industries in the United States In
19C0. 1t was exceeded only by slaughter
ing and meat products and foundry and
machine-shop products. OF the total num-
ber of merchant esta ablishments reported
for 1909, Ill per cent were under cor
pOrate ownership as compared with 1873
per cent in 1904, While the value of prod
ucts of such establishments represented
6S.1 per cent of the total in 1909 and 70. Z
per cent in 1904.
Between 1904 and 1909 there was a de-
cided decrease both in the relative num-
Der of establishments under firm owner
ship and in the proportion which they
reported of the total value OF products,
while there was an increase III the rela-
tive number OF establishments operated
by individuals, but slight decrease in
their relative Importance as measured by
lishments operated under forms of own
ershfp other than individual, firm or cor
pOrate in 1909. fifteen were controlled by
cooperative associations.

Poets of Patriotism
-cm the New York World.

tue NeW 1oTh NOIlu
For the first time the Nobel prize in
literature goes to a man with a dusky
skin. But the blood of Rabindranath
Tagore has the same warmth and color
as that Of other poets who have sung
OF human aspiration. Previous winners
OF this prize-Sully-Prudh Bjornson,
Mistral Echegaray, Sienkiewicz, Carduc-
ci, Selma Lagerlof, Heyse-have been in
their several ways writer's OF purpose and
patriotism. Maeterlinck and Anatole
France are the mystic and the cynic OF
torian and theologian. kipling is its only
tory. What genius IL requires to over
weigh that disadvantage.
In his boyhood Mr.. Tagore was sent by
his father not to a school specializing
In sports and aristocratic associations but
TO contemplate the Himalaya mountains
that their grandeur might inspire noble
thoughts. Perhaps they did: the burden
of his mature verse has been love OF
country and longing for its deliveraIce.
Unto that heaven of freedom" he sings.
my Father. let my country wake" The
freedom he longs for is spiritual more
than political. else he would scarcely be
such power among his countrymen The
Nobel committee has been right in re.
jecting from the first the heresy OF art
for arts sake. Great literature is made
by keen intent upon progress in virtue
and freedom. not by selfish, shrieking
rnaniacs like Strindberg and Nietzsche
| nor by trifiers polishing rhymes of loves
and doves. Who would write noble liter
ature must have a noble aim In man,
cases the great writer Is SO intent upon
his purpose that he wanders unconsciously
and quite by accident into the temple oi
fame.

CUTTING TREES IN MAINE.
Methods Which Are Eliminating the
Choppers.
rom the Lewis ton Journal.

tEc Lewiston J0urndl.
Daniel W. Smith. a well known local
lumberman, has just put another bolt in
the romance of the Maine woods If he
has his way the picturesque axmen OF
the lumber camps will soon be quite OBJ
sOlete. He has invented a machine for
putting EN- completely out of business
Mr.. Smiths invention is nothing more nor
less than an appliance for saving trees
down with a minimum amount of waste
and labor.
In many Maine camps the old method OF
chopping trees has been abandoned in fa-
vor of four husky woodsmen and a buck
saw. 1t is claimed that much more of the
valuable timber at the butt OF a tree can
be saved in this way than by chopping
And now comes MIR. Smith with what ne
says is as great an improvement over
the bucksaw as the saw was over the AK
Penobscot lumbermen who have been
trying the appliance out are pleased with
the result and it is likely that next sea-
son will find many of the eastern Maine
lumber camps equipped with the new de-
vice. With II. tree can be sawed SO
close to the ground that a tote team can
pass directly over the stump without even
Jostllng the driver. 1t also affords a
saving in NEIL as only one is required to
operate it. The appliance consists of a
folding. adjustable leg to conform to the
evenness of the ground about the tree
trunk. On this machine is mounted a
sliding carrier. the feed for which is fur
nished by an adjustable spring and ratchet
attachment The carrier is fitted with ad-
Unstable roller and saw guides and a
guide-bar with roller carrier. The power
Is controlled by folding brake Mr..
Smith claims that a man eighty years
old, a child ten. or woman, "if she has
the right disposition" can fell woods
giants neatly and with dispatch by using
the new-fangied affair

Fisher Tells His Story.

The state rested its case with the con-
clusion of Mr.. Cannon's testimony. and
Fisher himself was placed on the stand
to tell the story Of the tragedy. In sim
pie language. spoken In q clear firm tone
of voice. Fisher told the story of the
killing OF Altdorfer, his account diff
fering in no respect from the story told
by Miss Reeves. and parts of the tesh-
mony of Lewis Turner. Interrogatories by
States Attorney Spates and his assistant
counsel. John A. Garrett, failed to shake
or alter Fishers testimony in any re-
spect and his plea was one of absolutely
necessary self-defense. Col. Henry It.
Alien Of the Office of the chief of staff,
War Department. called to testify as to
Fishers good character, was permitted to
give his testimony early to the court, in
the presence OF counsel for both sides,
and then was allowed to return to the
city, his statement being read to t-,e
jury. Col. Allen gave Fisher high
character for integrity, ability and for
peaceable behavior.
Arguments by the prosecution and the
defense occupied less than an hour and
a half, States Attorney Spates opening
for the state He summed up the evi-
dence which had been presented and
made plea for the conviction of Fisher.
Attorney Thomas Dawson. for the de-
fense, followed with a statement Of the
defense's views occupying not more than
fifteen minutes. He was followed by
Attorney Garrett. who occupied about
twenty-five minutes in presenting the re-
mainder OF the states summing up, and
Arthur Peter, chief counsel for the de-
fense. closed with a four-minute speech,
in which he declared the state had pre-
sented no evidence warranting any ver-
dict other than one OF acquittal, and
asking the jury to decide in favor of
Fisher. The courts charge occupied
less than five minutes, after which the
case was given to the jury a few minutes
after l O'Clock this morning. r. G. II.
