FIVE POINTS LOCALS

Billy Hagan, he Of the Five Points
Horse and Mule Market on 7th Av-
enue, is driving a brand new bort
brougham. ''It's only a part of the
profits on horses and mules" says
Harry Van, who is himself enjoying
a rush on watermelon sales.
From the number of strangers from
the country, it is apparent that the
rural publications, which are printed
here and carry news and advertising
of Five Points business houses are
working out some good results.

HOW TO REACH COUNTRY FOLKS

If you don't advertise your business
in this paper we both lose money.
Why? This paper covers a rural
field not reached by the big dailies.
One of the big dailies mailed to out
of-the-city patrons now costs about
AZ cents each. The big papers are
full of minute details that are non
essential to general news. The av-
erage farmer hasn't time between
sun-up and candle light to read it all.
In a general way, the city dailies
think more of making a long story
of bootlegging raids or social scandals
than anything about the farms and
mines which interests the ruralists.
Even the average city business man
nowadays has time only to read the
headlines of his daily paper.
That's why the ruralists turn to the
small weeklies and magazines for
their news and literature Take any
farmers home and you will note that
he always includes his home weekly,
which is read by everyone of the
family and-often passed on to his
neighbor.
Advertisers who neglect the rural
publications are losing money What
would Phoenix or any other city it's
size, with so little manufacturing en-
terprises, do without the rural trade?
Big mail order houses know how to
reach country trade. They advertise
in country publications and magazines
which they know circulate among the
miners and farmers. You don't see
their catalogues and price lists in the
big city dailies.
The Watson publications are de-
signed especially for the country
folks and now claims $500 readers,
all of whom come to town once in
while to trade.
Every business man should attract
attention Of country folks before they
come to town. Get acquainted with
them through this paper.

REPUBLICAN HOGS RUN AFOUL

Looks like it was about time for a

The Phoenix Republican is poaching
about all the Glendale News pre-

vice of news and advertising every
week. While Editor Reed is monkey
ing around the North Side'' trying
to hook the field of the Wickenburg

chief of all Arizona poachers, skins

WHY MOST RURAL EDITORS ARE
INDEPENDENT

1t may seem enigmatical why rural
editors almost without exception, con-
tinually publish matters relating to
political intrigue and trade combines
They represent the common people,
who are always the exploited masses
that are mostly affected. Even the
metropolitan dailies occasionally "hit
up the most outrageous violators, be
cause they want to hold the good
will of honest minded people. Most
of the big dailies are owned body and
soul by trade corporations Their sub
sistence is from advertisers whom
they dare not grossly Offend or their
income is stopped.

tlonally known for their saving in

ING ON PRESERVATION OF
TIMRER SUPPLY

In the last II months 1900, 900 900
board feet of lumber have arrived
at New York, Boston, Philadelphia,
Providence, Baltimore and other At
lantic ports by way of the Panama
canal, according to representatives
here Of Pacific lumber firms 1t took
about 400 shiploads to convey this
enormous quantity Four years ago
the lumber movement through the
canal was almost negligible.
The freight rate on lumber from
Pacific to Atlantic was around SIS
d thousand feet Eastern and south
ern lumbermen since they have found
it paid to ship lumber 5000 miles to
their own markets, have come to the
conclusion that refOrestatiOn is worth
while. Western lumbermen also have
made up their minds that they are
not going to be left in a position
where they cannot supply a demand
and likewise are turning to replenish-
ment Of their forests. In consequence
lUmbermen everywhere are taking a
keen interest in the topics raised by
celebration Of the American forest
week
The celebration of the week is for
the purpose of devising means for
care and improvement of forests,
free planting, installation of econom-
les in preparation and use of woods
and perpetual refOreStratiOn of timber
lands
The annual national freight bill for
lumber is now above $500 100000.
Most of this cost is due to the long
distance which separates producing
districts and consuming centers. The
average haul is fully 700 miles and
will exceed 1000 in the next five years.
Two-thirds Of the lumber consump-
ton is east of the Missouri and north
of the Ohio rivers while two-thirds of
production is south and west of that
area. There is little virgin timber
left in the north and east. yet there
are at least 100,000,000 acres of land
there which will not grow anything
else Strong efforts are being and
Will be made to correct that condition.
Reasons for Situation
One reason for this situation is
that there has not been precedent
for reforestation, lumbermen having
treated forests as practically mex
haustibIe.
Forest fires have not been adequate
ly guarded against. Still another rea-
son has been excessive taxation on
replanted lands. In spite of these the
total amount Of timber reproduced
has been great, although it is spotted.
New York, Pennsylvania, and other
New England states considered prac-
hcally out 80 years ago, are produc-
ing over billion feet a year and
now have stands aggregating 1OO, ,OOO,-
O0O,0OO feet Farmers are getting $500
an acre for second growth pine land
Within 20 years it is believed the
annual timber cut will be doubled in
those states.
Foresters predict that the new
growth of forest material will bring
producing and consuming centers clos
er in the next two years. In the west
forest investments are being sought.
with especial regard to their reIiabil
lty and safety based on reforestation
programs. A great Califo1 ala timber
owner whose wealth is enormous saws
his sons sons will make more from
his timber holdings than he has made
in a lifetime.
