YEARS LUMBER CUT
FORTY BILLION FEET
Exceeds That of 1915 by Two
Billion, but Product Slightly
Less Than Former Average
WASHINGTON. MAY ..


Nearly forty billion feet of lumber were
cut in the United States during the
year of 1916 it was announced today by
the Department Of Agriculture. The exact
figures. based on reports received up to
April Is from 17,201 saw mills, out of the
10000 in operation last year, are 39S07,-
25l 900 feet.
Scarcity of labor. due to decreased immi-
grafton and the consequent higher wages
paid, greatly hampered the smaller mills
Lack of shipping facilities and local unfa-
vorable weather conditions also tended
toward curtailment of production. The lum-
ber demand was greater than that of any
other year in the nations history.
The state of Washington retained the
lead as the cOuntry's largest lumber pro-
ducer during 1916. The lumber cut in
Washington totaled i,i92.997, 600 feet
Louisiana was second with 4.2O0 900 900
feet and Mississippi third with 2,730, 900 900
feet.
Southern yellow pine formed 376 per
cent of the entire years cut, with 1876
900 600 feet Douglas fir, it's nearest COM
petitor Is credited with 5,i16.000 900. Oak
with a cut of $500 900 900 feet is third
The total lumber cut for last year Is
2 900. 900 900 in excess Of the cut for 1915,
but is smaller by from three to six million
feet than that Of any year from 1904 until
1918, inclusive.

PITTSBURGH, May :.
Sweeping investigation into the affairs Of
the Pittsburgh Life and Trust Company
was under way here today. Its principal OBJ
jcct was to determine the extent OF the
alleged mishandlng Of the company's stock
and other assets which forced Insurance
Commissioner ]. Denny O'Neill to make
application for appointment of receiver
and also for temporary injunction to pre-
ver' the company from doing business
Commissioner O'Neill said that it was
evident the concern had been wrecked.
within two days he said a group of New
York promoters got control of the big con-
cern and milked it for 81 100000 through
the operations of set of dummy directors.

FIRST STEP TAKEN
AGAINST ALCOHOL
R a dical Restriction of
Liquor Making Indicated
by Houston's Action
TASK GIVEN TO EXPERT
WASHINGTON. May .

WASHINGTON. May >.
A strong intimation that the Government
a soon to take step radically curtailing
the production of distilled and fermented
liquors in the United States came today in
the announcement that DR.. AlonZo l.. Tay-
lor, an expert on the conservation and
economical utilization of food. has been
designated by the Department of Agrcu-
ture to undertake an exhaustive considtIa-
tion of the proposal to place "A close limit
on the use of grains in the manufacture of
intoxicants.
Food materials to the value of Si45,-
100000 entered last year into production of
alcoholic liquors. Secretary Houston. as
soon as ii became apparent that the United
States would have to feed not only its own
people but the people of its allies. imme-
diatey took under advisement "A plan to
utilize for food purposes the large amounts
OF grain that heretofore have been used in
the liquor industry.
Mr.. Houston has let II be known that he
has reached no definite plan as yet and
that the action taken or recommended by
the department will be dependent largely
on the result of the investigation by Doctor
Taylor. Sentiment among department olfi-
cials Is that there should be some curtail-
ment, the point remaining to be determined
appearing to be how drastic a cut should
be made In the use of grains for dstillery
and brewery purposes
In the brewing of beer there were used
last year 4S,000000 bushels OF barley,
100000 bushels of corn grits and 2.OOO,.
600 bushels OF rice. The amount of corn
used in the production of distilled spirits
In the fiscal year 1916 was 32,O69.5i2 BUSH
els and of rye 3,116.6l2 bushels
The agitation in behalf of a curtailment
OF the use of grain in liquor production Is
spreading to the various States.
