By United Press
MANCHESTER, N. H, Oct. g.
No longer do the lumbermen of New
Hampshire attack the forest in a
haphazard way storing up a big sup
ply of the material and waiting for
it to be ordered.
The method now employed
throughout the State is to wait for
the business and then cut the lum-
Der.
Figures given at a conference of
the State Lumbermens Association
here to prove the wisdom of this
policy showed that during the past
three months 100000 feet of lum-
Der had been sawed and of this
amount 63032,000 feet had been sold,
leaving but small amount on hand.
During the preceding quarter 64,-
1877 900 feet were sawed.

bout at Silver Spring Armory,
just across the border in Mary

In the latter event, Washing

like an even break tonight, Dis

Whether or not Blick can
rake up as interesting bouts as
those headed by Gallagher and

seen, for there is so much local
interest in the progress of these
comparative neophites, that they
may he considered "naturals"

Neither has been seen in ac-

Frank Shannon, than whom
there is no better pilot in any
section.

much as Mann was able without
