DOUGLAS NOTES RISING POPULATION.

In the Douglas News department of The Empire last week noted "a rush of tenants for homes in Douglas. that is welcome sign of reviving business for that community. As noted by The Empires correspondent the demand for homes was occasioned by the beginning of construction on a highway between the town and the Douglas bridge. The bridge will be completed this Winter, and the road will be in shape for some use then, and wholly completed next Spring. Then will come greater prosperity for the island community. Its resident population will increase materially and both bls- ness and industry will become more thriving. The present start is proof that the arguments used by the people of Douglas for so many years in their campaigns for the bridge across Gastneau Channel

Daily Journal of Commerce, seattle)

(I0aily Journal of Commerce, SeattleD A survey of standing timber of all kinds suit able for lumber in Oregon and Washington west of the Cascades has been completed by the Pacific Northwest Forest Experiment Station. The total footage in the particular of the two States

This State has 6728776 feet of Stka spruce as compared with A. 956 8e0 in Oregon. Washington has 79,912,602 feet of Western hemlock and Oregon 24,587190 Oregon Heads Washington in footage of mountain hemlock, Pcnderosa and Jeffry pine sugar pine, lodeepoe pine white fir, Noble and Shasta fir, Western and Alpine larch and redwood Washington leads Ore gon in its stands of Western red cedar with 20- 082 08O as compared to 4,567,l93 feet. This State also has more silver fir and Western white pine. Oregon has more hardwood than Washington. Washington stands of all kinds, both soft and hardwood total 245,255 ,O46, while the stands Of Oregon total 300,792,594.
 An interesting feature of the survey is that the total stands are divided almost equally be- tween public and private ownership The check has proved of value in the administration of the national lumber code.

THE NEW ARMY CHIEF.

The election of Miss Evangelinc Booth as Com mander- in Chief of the Salvation Army will be specially pleasing to Americans Much of her very fine in that distinguished social service and religious organization has been done in this country She has become widely known and won the deepest regard of Americans by reason of the fine work of rescue and relief she has so ably directed, and because of the unusual personal qualities that have won friends for herself and her cause in every walk of life There is but one real regret con nected with her elevation to tho position of Com nnander- in Chief and that is that it will take her away from America That is softencd by the knowledge that her rev position gives her new opportunities for even more splendid work, and will undoubtedly result in her winning more friends all ever the world just she won them in the United States.

TWO STANDARDS OF JUSTICE
