PRELIMINARY FIGURES ON 1916
WOOD PULP PRODUCTION

Washington, Feb. 90 Returns from
l6O wood pulp mills throughout the
country, received in connection with
the census Of pulp wood consumption
and wood pulp production being made
by the Forest Service in cooperation
with the Newsprint Manufacturers
Association, show that the reporting
mills used in 1916, 3,419,000 cords Of
wood and had an output of approxim-
ately 2,229,000 tons Of pulp. II is ex-
pected that by the middle of March re-
ports from practically all of the mills
in the country operating in 1916 will
have been received Complete figures
are to be made public as soon as the
remaining mills have been hard from.
OF the total production of wood pulp
thus far reported 973,329 tons was
made by the mechanical process, $780,
no tons by the sulphite process, 314,-
085 by the soda process, and 49,053
by the sulphate process.
No figures on pulp wood and wood
pulp consumption have been compiled
by the Forest Service since 1911, and
it is expected that the present census
will reveal a number Of changes both
ae to amount and kinds of wood used.
1t is stated that the high stumpage
values and the decreasing supplies of
spruce and hemlock, as well as inn
proved methods of manufacture, have
caused pulp makers to use increasing
quantities Of other woods

WILLIAM HENRY BUNDY DEAD
Representative Bundy Dies Suddenly
at Montpelier Tuesday Afternoon
About One O'clock.

/ This community was saddened on
Tuesday afternoon when il became
known that death had again entered
the ranks Of the Vermont Legislature
and this time taken Off Representative
William II. Bundy Of Manchester Cen
ter. This makes the fourth death OF
member or attaches since the session
opened in January.
Representative Bundy was not feel
ing well Tuesday morning but he ate
hearty breakfast at the boarding
house Of Arthur A. Emery of Elm
street, in Montpelier, where he lived,
afterwards lying down. As he did not
feel any better when the time for 60
ing to the State House came he stayed
in the house. Early that afternoon his
condition took a serious turn for the
worse, and although DR.. Carey, a
boarder in the Emery house, did all
he could to save him, death ensued at
about l o'clock. The body was later
taken to the Barber undertaking
rooms, and Senator John II. Dimond,
also resident of Manchester Center,
took charge of the arrangements.
Representative Bundy was born in
Manchester "a years ago, the date
his birth being Sept. a, 1912. He was
educated in the public schools and at
Burr and Burton Seminary. He was
postmaster under President Harrison
and had held the office Of school di-
rector, justice of the peace, and lister.
In politics he was a Republican.
The news of the death Of Represen-
tative Bundy cast gloom over the
Legislature. The other deaths during
the session were all in the Senate, be-
ing of Senator's w. |. Kendall of Wind
sor county and II. E. Eddy of Wind
ham county and Chaplain M. w. Far
man of Westfeld.
Mr.. Bundy's remains were brought
to his home here Wednesday after
noon on the fier. The funeral SER
vices will be held at the Baptist
Church this afternoon at $3.50 o'clock,
the Rev. Joseph S. Brown officiating.
There are no near relatives, Mrs.
Bundy dying a few years ago. There
are however several nephews and
nieces and a cousin, Chas. r. Ames, of
Manchester Center.
