AS A
LUMBER MARKET
DISCUSSED

WASHINGTON, ID. C.-The Bureau
of Foreign and Domestic Commerce
has issued q short monograph on
philippine Markets for American
Lumber" by Commercial Agent Frank
lin H. Smith. who is investigating the
lumber trade in the Far East The
Philippine market, so far as imports
are concerned, is dominated by Amer
lean lumber. The islands provided q
market for more than $500, 900 worth
of forest proGuets In the II months
ended June 80, 1914, and practically
the entire quantity represented by
these figures was shipped from the
Douglas fir mills of Washington and
Oregon and the redwood mills of Cali
fornia.
Mr.. Smith found, however, sharp
competition by native woods, and 1t
is his opinion that this will inevitably
become keener. Each succeeding
year, he thinks, viii witness an in
creasing cut of Philippine woods.
The conclusion reached is that the
demand for American
lumber in the Philippines is not par
ticularly encouraging.
This publication may be obtained

Documents. Washington. D. C. It Is

as Fertilizer
Brings Good Crop

Rev. /. a. Barnes, OF Benton,s Ferry,
Is not only a minister. but he Is a far
mer OF ability. This is demonstrated
by the fact that he has produced
some wonderful crops this summer.
He stopped in this Office yesterday af.
iternoon and displayed some oats "a
inches high. and some corn IL Inches
long and six inches in circumference.
He raised this fine crop on an eight
acre plot.
Rev. Barnes is a great believer in
the value Of lime as fertilizer. An
article in The West yirginian on Tues.
day told of the great value OF lime
as a fertilizer, and Rev. Barnes says
that lime Is certainly great help In
getting o good crop. THE article on
the value OF lime was prepared by H.
L Smith, county agricultural agent.
Rev. Barnes raised his exceptionally
good crop this summer on ordinary
clay soil, using one.halff ton Of lime to
the acre.

JAMES ]. HILL
REACHES II MARK
This Is Birthday Of Famous
Old Railroad Mag
nate.

ST. PAUL. MINI, Sept 1s.-James
y. Hill. Empire Builder" who con.
trolls SO many railroads and banks
that Solomon OF old appears like a
mere amateur plunger beside him, is
a years old today.
Last week Mr.. Hill demonstrated
how young he was by tramping all
over the Minnesota state fair grounds
In a heavy rain, scorning the assist.
ance OF an umbrella or a iimosiune.
He was looking at the cattle.
I'D rather watch a herd OF cows
eating grass than the best baseball
game in the world" said Mi. Hill. He
admits he saw N baseball game In
his life.
Hills home here Is anything but
luxurious from the outside
He hasn't much use for automo.
biles. He walks from his Office ey.
cry noon to the %aristocratic Minneso-
ia club for a frugal Ascent lunch.
A fayorite dish OF his is tripe. On
the walk back to work he always
stops in front of a newspaper office
to read the war bulletins.
During the last year Hill has start
ed giving away thoroughbred bulls to
the farmers Of the northwestern
states. He believes that these bulls,
anc%estorsto.be of a race Of "dual.
purpose" cattle, will build a monu-
ment for him which will be more en-.
during than any number Of librarier.
"Dual.purpose" means high.grade,
both as milk producers and for beef.
steaks. He has "a theory that cattle
and corn will renew the soil which
