Bigger Lumber Demand.
AT the close Of 1921 there was
an increased demand in the United
Kingdom for lumber, which led to
rather large importauons, consider
ing the difficult conditions Of
industry. Consequently during the
first four months Of this year the
importation Of lumber from the
United States generally declined.
However, about May importations
began to increase and have been
increasing ever since. In spite of
the dull period at the beginning the
total importation from the United
States FOR the first six months of
1922 is practically double what IT
was in 1921, although still much
below previous years"
Dye said that building costs, both
for material and wages, have de>
creased during the last six months.
AT the present tine," he con.
tinued, wages in the building trade
are still about 100 per cent above

COAL ECONOMY IS
NEEDED IN HOME
cal in Use of Fuel, Says En-
cheering Bureau.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-While the
average household heating plant is re-
liable, SO far as the factor of safety Is
concerned, this is not always true in
economy. says the bureau OF engineering
Of the department of the interior, and IN
view of possible coal shortage this
winter, the household viii have to be
very economical IN its use.
The engineering bureau has complied
few facts on coal and its use, to aid
the public Until coal returns to normal
production. The main point of the bu-
reaa's papers is the need for economy in
burning coal.
It has been stated by good authority,
the paper said. that Is percent Of the
coal wasted in home heating can be
saved. The main point in economy is
cleanliness Of the plant as SCOT is an in
sulater against transference of heat
and must be kept out of the furnace and
pipes. ... s...s
Soft coal demands greater care in far-
ing. In putting in fresh coal, it
should not cover all the burning surface.
II 1t does, the gases driven of are not
ignited and escape. If the shape of the
arebox permits, fresh coal should be
placed over the front of the fire near
the door. then as the gases are driven
of. they are ignited over the bright
rear surface and add to the heat. Later,
the cooked coal Is pushed to the back of
the surface and fresh coal again applied
to the front. In the case of round heat
ers, it was said, spread the coal on the
lower side only and the gases win be
consumed by the heat on the other. The
CRATES should be left in a Dat position,
no part protuding into the IRE, the de-
partment says, the ash pit should be
kept clean as ashes cut off the air sup
ply, which may cause the crates to
warp or burn out. A bed OF ashes
should be kept on top of the crates to
prevent burning out reducing 1t in size
as the weather grows colder, and should
never be shaken until live Goals fall out.
There should be a check draft damper
in the smoke pipes OF hot air. steam or

ranges, besides the turn damper. to con-

Plan Perpetual
Logging Camp in
Oregon County

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2s.-The last
great tract Of untanehed pips timber
in the United States and the last
frontier Of settlement, are about to
pass.
Behind the announcement OF the
Forest Service regarding the pro-
posed sale OF timber In the Malheur
National Forest, OREGON, says a
statement by the National Lumber
Manufacturers Association, lumber
men see the last opportunity for their
trade TO deal initialy with a virgin
pine forest Of great extent and the
last opportunity for the settler
take possession Of a region, now
remote from railway and mar
kets, and virtually unused agrtcul-
tRrally.
1.-THE opening for sale of the timber
of the Bear Valley unit Of the Nal
heur National Forest" says the state
ment, affects $4,000. zoe feet Of the
great Blue Mountains forests now.
and means the beginning Of the lum-
bering Of the entire forest with it's
more than T,OQ0,0Oo,0o0 feet of timber.
To begin the numbering operations 1t
will be necessary to build about 80
miles of main line railway, besides tap
lines, which will open for settlement
an agricultural country with area of
10000 square miles.
while this ancient forest Is
doomed, the terms are such that the
succession Of its sylhan posterify is
secure. Though the timber now of
fered for sale by the Forest Service
is sufficient only to keep moderate
sized mill. running continuously for
twenty years, the Service viii at the
end of that time open up another unit
and eventually 7.e0e,o00.o0O feet of
timber will be available. 1t is reek-
oned that by the time the last unit is
cut over, the first one win be ready
for cutting again. *..... TX
1.-THE agricultural development to
ensue upon the numbering activities
which will employ hundreds of men
and the necessary railway buitding
also will demonstrate the policy OF
using the national forests as an ad-
iunct of the general progress ana
welfare adjacent regions. According
TO the forecast of the Forest Service.
here win be at least one logging ana

coming tired Of his isolation K7suan

a palace within the Forbidden City.
and, although he must OFTEN hear the
noises from the busy streets Just out
side the wall. he is virtually a prison
en- having only twice, 1t Is said, seen
the sights OF the Chinese CAPITAL.
Under the terms OF his abdication
t1suan was given unusual privileges
by the Chinese Republic.
He was permitted to maintain a
court with all its royal appurtenances
Including about 1000 servants. The
Republic agreed to pay him s4,ooo.OoO
Mex. annually for expenses as a condi-
tion OF his abdication. Tia financial
plight OF the Republic made these
payments impossible with the result
that In the last ten years the ''sBoy

csived only s600,O0o. His pleas for the
remittance OF ss9.400.oOO still due as
Imperial household expenses" have
gone unanswered. This is said to
have Increased his desire to change
his mode OF living.
Hsuan's English and American tu-
tors describe him as a dfligent stu

something Of the world. One of his
diversions is to write on a typewriter
OF American make.
In june 1917, an attempt was made
to restore the monarchy in China,
