LUMBER CUT is
10 billion FEET
Estimated Production of Mills in
1916 Is Announced by For
est Service.
WASHINGTON AGAIN IN lead
Far Western State Heads List With
4,492, ,997 900 Feet-Louisiana Is
Second and Mississippi Is
Third.

A total computed lumber cut for the
United States in 1916 of 39,8O7, ,251 900
board feet is announced by Uncle
Sans forest service. This figure is
based on reports received from 17,201
sawmills out of the 30,081 believed to
have operated last year. 1t is esti-
mated that the actual cut was slightly
in excess of 40,OOO,O0O,0OO feet. An
earlier estimate based on partial re-
ports, indicated a total output of A.
750,0000O0 feet. The figures now CIV
en- are regarded as practically final.
The state of Washington was again
the largest producer with a lumber
cut of 4,492, ,997, 900 feet; Louisiana
was second with 4,20O,OOO,00O feet, and
Mississippi third with 2,730,O00O00
feet.
Southern Yellow Pine Leads.
Southern yellow pine with a total
of 14,975,000,000 feet forms 37.6 per
cent of the entire cut. Douglas fir,
its nearest competitor, is credited
with 5,416,OOO,O0O, while oak, with a
cut of 3,500,OO0,0O0, is third.
Production in 1916 was, it is stated,
hampered by a general lack of ship
ping facilities and local unfavorable
weather conditions which tended to-
ward curtailment. Among the smaller
mills the scarcity of labor and the con-
sequent higher wages paid resulted in
a smaller output than would ordinarily
be the case in a year Of good demand
The number of mills operating and
reporting in 1916 was greater than TO,
the preceding year. These figures
however, as we'll as the trade condi'
tions, were more nearly normal thar

SHERMAN RETURNS HORSE
Taken In March to the Sea, She Was
Too Much of a Pet for Him to
Keep From Owner.

General Sherman was with the main
body of his troops, which marched di-
rectly through my grandfather's plan
tation.
Several days before the soldiers ar
rived my grandfather went to Sa-
vannah on business. His seven sons
and his two sOns-in-law were fighting
for the Confederacy. Only my grand
mother, one of my aunts and the ne
gro servants were at home.
Fortunately, General Sherman led
the troops that come to our house that
day. His army was "living off the
country" and they took most of our
chickens, cattle and hogs for food, ap-
propriated what horses and fodder
they needed and helped themselves to
whatever was growing in the fields
that was fit to eat; but there were
none of the cruelties and insults of
which irresponsible bands of foragers
were often guilty. General Sherman
appeared the courteous gentleman who
was performing a disagreeable dutF.
Among the horses his men took from
my grandfather's house was Bess-
the big black mare that he had raised
himself, trained for his own saddle
horse and loved and petted like child.
General Sherman took fancy to Bess,
and he himself rode her away.
When grandfather returned and
found what had happened, nothing
hurt him so much as the loss of Bess.
Scarcely waiting to see how complete
ly the place had been stripped, he
mounted an old horse, the only one he
had left, and started after General
Sherman's troops. The federal sol
diers laughed at him and his mount
when he came up with them, but he
paid no heed; he was bent on recover
ing his favorite horse.
When he presented himself to the
general, my grandfather was good
deal surprised at the kindness and
consideration with which he was re-
ceived.
General Sherman" he began, 81
cannot give up my horse; she is like
a child to me. My children are grown
up now, and I have taken almost as

as I ever did with one of them. She

when she hears me. She is yours by
right of war, but I will pay you fol
her. cannot pay you much now, bu1
I will give you all that can possibly

mo" said Sherman ST believe
what you say. When I was riding he
away she whinnied and tried to tur1
back again and again. Come out her,
and let me hear you CALL"
At that grandfather gave loud
warbling whistle, and almost Instant,
came the answer-a glad whinny.
General Sherman ordered Bess sad
died and he put her bride rein int
my grandfather's hand and bade hir

More Wholesome Livino.

1t is the cheerful custom of our
times to urge what amounts to i'm
providence and insist that the liberal
spending of our money is for the best,
not only for ourselves, but for every
body. Every effort to reduce living
expenses is frowned on and considered
as mean and underhanded attack on
some industry which ought to be en-
couraged. If we do not wear gold
rings, we are not treating the gold
miners right, nor are we giving the
jewelers. fair shake in business. How
can we expect the jeweler to buy our
pork and cabbage if we do not buy
his gold rings? We are hurried on to
make more that we may spend more
with others, so that they may spend
more, and so on, and so on.
There is no end to this sort of thing,
and there is no health in this kind of
hectic existence. The principle of
making more that we may spend 1t
faster is not a worthy basis for our
philosophy.
A little economy would be whole
some thing for all of US and would
help amazingly in the matter of the
high cost of hving.-Idaho Farmer.

MAKE COAL SURVEY

United States and State Geological
Survey Parties Complete Two
month"; Work.

Grand Forks, n. D., Sept. 6.-Dr.
A. @. Leonard. state geoIogist, has
returned to the University of North
Dakota after a two months survey
Of territory in the western part of
the state. The United States GeoloR-
ical survey Is cooperating with the
State Geological survey in the prep
aration Of the geological map and re-
port of an area just east of Willis
ton, known as the Ray Quadrangle.
This quadrangle, which includes
parts of Williams and Mckenzie
counties, covers an area ofss00 square
miles.
During the past two months two
parties have been carrying on field
work in the quadrangle, the United
States Geological survey party be-
ing in charge of A. J. Collier, and the
state survey psrty being in charge
of DR.. Leonard. With DIR. Leonard
were J. d. Mcleod and Robert Gem
nell.
Many Coal outeropings.
Many coal seams outcrop in the
bluffs bordering the Missouri valley
on the north and south, and these
seams were mapped in detail by
plane table methods and after the
work Is completed and the results
worked up,sa fairly accurate estimate
can be made of the number OF tons
of coal which are contained in the
quadrangle.
The glacial deposits of the region
are of particular interest since three
different drift sheets are present. A
considerable area of the quadrangle
is occupied by the terminal moraine
Of the latest ice sheet, and the
rough. hilly topography of this
moraine is particularly we'll shown in
the vicinity of Temple. and a few
miles east of Ray. This moraine and
the other glacial deposits were map
