New York, December G.-(Specal. )-Flf-
teen years ago James j. Hill worked out
a plan whereby a profitable Pacific COM
merce could be established, the principal
export upon which he relied being the
lumber of the northwest. Mr.. Hill sent
representatives to China and to Japan to
make investigation, and they reported to
him that there was an abundant market
along the coast to China and in Japan for
American lumber.
Mr.. Hills plan. although the experience
of a year or two made it certain that it
contained the elements of success, was
abandoned because the interstate com
merce commission at Washington de-
clared that certain low rates which he
established upon the Great Northern rail-
road system in connection with his Pa
cifc steamships were in violation, or
at least an invasion of the interstate com
merce law.
After the fur trade from the Pacific
coast to China began to decrease, an
earnest effort was made to supplement it
by the export of lumber The construc-
ton OF the Panama canal in a some
what unexpected way unfavorably af-
fected the lumber interests of the north
west. The lumber manufacturers as
serted that their business was impaired
and in some cases ruined by the adoption
OF the so-called Underwood tariff law
The great development of the railway
systems in western Canada made avail
able the wonderfully rich resources of
irot1o
Slopes The lumber manufacturers of
Canada discovered that they could ship
by way of the Panama canal Canadian
lumber not only to the eastern coast of
the United States at the rates which
would successfully compete with Amer.
lean lumber, but, Furthermore, could ac-
tually deliver Canadian lumber in the
middle west in successful competition
with the lumbermen of the northwest.
THE LUMBER INDUSTRY
AT one time the lumber industry of the
United States was almost as important
as any other. 1t was much Unmarried
however, by reckless cutting of lumber
and by unscientific treatment of the for
ests. The effect of somewhat reckless
cutting of lumber has been for some
Years observable in the east when the
lumber RATS have floated down the rivers
10 the mills. Fifteen or twenty years
ago, lumber cut in northwestern New
Hampshire or Vermont and RATED down
the Connecticut river was Of excellent
size and quality For several years the
size of the lumber logs has appreciably
diminished, indicating that the heavier
timber has been cut Off This condition
is said to be true in some parts of the
west. Thirty years ago, the finest pine
timber grown anywhere in the world
was found in the northern peninsula of
Michigan. Within 20 years, all of this
timber has been cut, leaving only stump
age.

lS POUNDS OF BLOOD

is the average quantity in healthy adult, but it is the quality of the blood that determines our strength to resist sickness. With weak blood we find cold hands and chilly feet; in children an aversion to study, and in adults rheumatic tendencies.
 In changing seasons get abundant fresh air and take a spoonful of Scott's Emulsion after meals, because Scott's Emulsion is rich blood-food that will increase both quantity and quality of the blood while 1t warns the body and helps carry off the impurities.
 When multitudes of people are to- day taking Scott's Emulsion to avert winter sickness, and are giving it to their children, it is careless 10 neglect it5 benefits. Look out for substitutes.

GIVES BOGUS CHECK FOR GOOD MACHINE;
 OFFICERS ON TRAIL
Tucson is Scene of High Fi- nance on the Part of Fl Psso Men. Check on Douglas Bank is Found No Good.

TUCSON, Feb. 4-Tucson young men who want an automobile and have not got the funds will not find
 the example of NJ. L. Carmichael, of
 El Paso, very inspiring, for although
 Carmichael was able 10 purchase a Buick Light Six from C. F. Goyette, of the firm of the Southern Arizona
 Motor Co.,. with a check on the First National Bank of Douglas. for S1250. where he did not have the necessary funds, he not only has lost the auto mobile. due to the activity of Sheriff
 Forbes deputies, but is himself in imminent danger of capture at any moment.
 Carmichael. as he calls himself. ar rived the first of the week in company with Carey Morgan. violincello ex- pert from Fl Paso who was arrested yesterday on a description from Fl Paso stating that he was wanted for theft and forgery. The young man, however, did not impress the officers of the Southern Arizona Motor com pany as a crook. but rather es q we'll groomed young business man.
 He made number of visits to the store room and expressed great ad- miration for the Buick. and stated that it was the only car for him. Tues day afternoon he stated that he had decided to buy a light Six and said that he had the money for the car in a Douglas bank. He made out check for the amount S125O and gave it to MT. Goyette and disappeared with the car.
 According to the information ob- tained by officers. Carmichael had very delightful time with his car while he had it. Tuesday evening he invited some Tucson girls to go joy riding, and they were charmed with his polished manners and gay up-to- date conversation. He returned with the young ladies about 10 o'clock and an hour later started with his new car for Florence.
 Clever as Carmichael was, he for get about the floods on the Gila and when he arrived at the bank of the river yesterday morning he couldn't get across and was obliged to turn back.
 In the meantime. Byrd Brooks, cashier of the Merchants Bank and rr- h.I F,1n fN the First National bank at Douglas and had received the message mo funds.' with the additional informa- ton that there were other checks coming in signed by M. L. Car michael"
 Mr Goyette notified the snSriff's office and the deputies started to trace the missing automobile with the result that it was finally traced to Florence. Officers started for Florence but by some chance missed Carmichael and the machine on the way back. Arriy | ing at the Gila, they found that he had returned and they started back.
 They sighted the machine and hoi race ensued with the result that five miles beyond Pastime park the fugi- | tive abandoned his car and took to the brush in the direction of the mountains. The deputies recovered | the machine, and two bands of off cers were dispatched late in the after noon to start a man-hunt for Car Up to late hour last even ing he had not been captured, but his arrest is expected any moment. as it is not believed that he can escape capture in the direction that he has taken.
