the spring of 1917, were $50 to $35 a
month and board. In 1918 and 1919 the
rate jumped to $50 to $65 month, and
in some instances as high as $75 or
$85 has been paid. Just now. because
Maine is pretty we'll stocked, the de-
mand for labor and the price show a
declining tendency. But in the United
States as whole the supply OF wood
is short Of the demand, and there
seems to be no prospect of lower
prices either of labor or product.
One operator In Maine, Massa-
chusetts man, who got into the lum-
Der business through his love Of ma
ture, cut last year on Molunceus and
the east branch Of the Penobscot
10000 cords, or $4,000, 600 feet, Of pulp
wood and 100000 feet Of long logs.
and win cut this year 10000 cords, or
100000 900 feet Of pulp wood, employ
ing 600 men at $62 month and
board or for piece work, $3.50 to 1915
a cord.
The common impression Is that all
wood pulp is made into paper and
that the Increased demand for news
print alone is responsible for the de-
mutation Of our forest lands. 1t is
true that most Of the pulp goes to
satisfy the appetite Of the printing
presses, but there have been deyeE
oped In recent years many and vari-
GUS other uses for the fiber Of the
spruce and poplar. Innumerable
articles are now made of wood pulp
doors, dishes, buttons, boards, boxes,
pie plates by the million, trunks and
car wheels, and milady who parades
the avenue, proud Of her gown of
tricolette. may be surprised to learn
that in that silken fabric is woven
the fiber of the spruce-that she owes
something of the luster and durable
texture of her flnery to the fragrant
forests Of Maine.

NEW EYELIDS MADE FROM LEG
Operation Restores Sight of Maine
Man Injured Forty-Seven
Years Ago.

Bangor, Me.-Forty-seven years
without closing his eyes, then a. period
of total blindness, followed by COM
plete restoration of sight, this is the
experience of John Randolph Watson
Of the town of Standish.
Mr.. Watson was photographer in
Indianola, and in 1856 an explosion of
chepicals burned away his eyelids, al
though the sight was not affected. But
with unprotected eyes he continued
for nearly half century, three years
Of the period being spent in Alaska,
where the severity of the climate
caused cataracts to form on both eyes
and results in loss of sight.
He went to Philadelphia later, where
he formerly lived for time, and was
at the Hahnemann hospital, and by
grating flesh from his leg he got
new set of eyelids. The success Of the
operation is now assured. The cata-
racts were removed and the sight has
been restored.

DANGER OF WOOD
FAMINE IS SEEN

Logging used TO begin In November
and end in March. Now 1t goes on at
all seasons.
Saw Mills Small Factor.
The saw mill Is a small factor In
the great game Of turning Maine for
ests into money. The long log
ger, that is, he who cuts for sawmills.
Is almost extinct. The big sawmill
drives are seen no more. This is the
day Of the "four-foot stuff" which
makes up most Of the drives and gives
business to the railroads. The pulp
mills eat up so many millions of feet
OF spruce that speculative and statis-
teal persons wonder where it all
comes from and how long the supply
will last. So far as Maine is con-
cerned there need be no fear of a wood
famine very soon, but at the pres
ent rate of cutting there is bound to
be a scarcity In the United States with
in few years that will send prices
kiting.
The present annual consumption Of
pulp wood east of the Mississippi
river is about 100000 cords, or $780,
100000 feet. That is using wood at a
reckless rate, even with big supply
in sight. But there Is greater drain
upon our wood resources. Fire takes
more than the mills. The eastern
slope of the Rockies Is 20 per cent
burnt land, and the timber map Is
splotched with great black patches all
the way from Puget sound to the
Penobscot. In some parts of Maine
the burnt area greatly exceeds the
green. In the South the pine and the
cypress are being cut away at an
alarming rate, and In the Pacific states
the Douglas fir and other growths are
being turned into money as, rapidly
as possible.
To make up for all the cutting, lit
tie is being done. Scientific forestry
is making some progress. but as vet
efforts In that direction are as nothing
compared with tree slaughter. I Re
forestation is being carried on in some
states, as on small scale, in Maine,
but tree doesn't grow in day. A
big spruce may be felled in five min
utes. but its reproduction will re-
quire 10 years.
It is not altogether a question Of
wood supply, either. AS the forests go
the floods viii come, waterpowers
will fail and all industry will suf-
fer. Therefore, there must be lot
of tree planting In this country. else
pretty much everything will go By the
board.
Advance In Pulp Wood Values.
The advance in pulp wood values
within 80 months has been remark
able, even for the times. Before the
entrance of this country into the war,
peeled wood delivered in the mill yard
in Maine was worth SO cord.
Now the price is $18 in Maine and in
New York state 500 cord. This ad-
vance is due in part to higher wages
and in part to little profteering or
turn of thrift by the land owners.
Wages before the war, that is, up to

Vermin Adds to Cost
of Producing Pork

Washington, d. C.-Lice add
a cent a pound to the cost of
producing pork. This has been
found in tests just completed
at the experiment farm of the
United States department of
agriculture at Beltsville, Md.
Twenty-four lousy hogs were
secured and divided into two
lots as nearly equal as to quality
Of animals as possible.
The two lots were managed
and fed thessame way with the
exception that one lot was treat
ed to prevent lice. The animals
were weighed at regular inter-
walls and at the end Of the fat
tening period 1t was found that
the hogs infested with lice cost
a cent a pound more to fatten
than those which were free Of
the troublesome pest.
The officials of the depart
ment who had charge Of this ex-
pertinent give an interesting
side light in connection with
securing the lousy animals.
They communicated with some
tof the departments field men,
asking them to locate lousy
hogs. 1t was some time before
reply was received to this
surprising order. After the
lousy hogs were purchased the
owner learned why, and he i'm
mediately built dipping vat
and began to treat the animals
to prevent lice.

OPPOSED TO GERMAN FLAG PLAN

and this is bit heightened by the plea
that the colors in the new German
emblem will be disposed horizontally
instead Of vertically.
An argument against the use Of the
colors by the Germans is that the Bel
gians have actually employed the
black, yellow and red horizontally in
their emblems notably in then mer-
camille fags-so. they consider they.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1919-08-08

still have a priority on that position
of the colors as well as the vertical
use.
The Belgians scorn the plea Of the
Germans that they have the right to
use the colors because of their use by
the ancient Germanic empire of which
Austria was the center.
