BALTIMORE, July 19.-Donald
McNein of Kenyon College, favored
to win the Maryland Mid-Atlantic
mems tennis crown already lost by
defending champion Hal Surface
jr., led the second and third seeded
entrants and one dark horse into the
singles semifinals today.
McNeill waltzed into the round OF
four with an easy victory over Archie
Henderson, Charlotte, N. c., who
bowed by scores of Ga, 60 in a
match featured by baseline duels.
Advancing with McNeill was Welby
Van Horn, tall, thin Californian
who outlasted Gilbert Hunt OF
Washington In gruelling two
hour match. The scores were 2-6
11-9, 13-l1. Hunt was at his best
and obviously anxious to upset his
higher-ranked opponent, but Van
Horns bombastic blasts were toe
much for him and the Washington
mathematician bowed after q great
light.
Van Horn Blasts Hunt.
A notoriously slow starter, Van
Horn last the first set when he had
trouble controlling his fiery first
serve. But the 19-year-old young
ster frightened after four double
faults, matched Hunts efforts blow
for blow from the second set on and
whipped him with scorching shots
too hot for Hunt to handle.
Winning into the mems semi
finals with McNeill and Van Horn
were unseeded John Kramer OF

Report Shows Big Timber
Business on Forests

MISSOULA.-Over 158 million
board feet of timber were sold on
the national forests of Montana,
northern Idaho, and eastern Wash
ington during 1899, according to an
annual report made at regional
headquarters here.
Western white pine formed the
bulk of this timber, going principal
ly to the match industry which uses
this species almost exclusively in
the manufacture Of its product. The
Kaniksu Forest in northern Idaho
leads in both the amount of timber
sold and cut, followed by the Clear
water in second place. The Kootenai
National Forest in northwestern
Montana leads the forests of this
state in the amount cut and sold.
In addition to timber cut or sold
for commercial purposes, the report
shows that approximately six mil
lion board feet were cut by local
residents who purchased the trees
at actual cost of making the sale.
The report shows a substantial
increase over last years business,
according to Regional Forester Evan
w Kelley This is partly due to
the pickup in business generally,
and also to the fact that large
bodies of mature timber have been
made accessible by recently built
forest roads.
According to Major Kelley the
cutting and manufacture of CONNER
cial timber from the II national
forests of this region provides the
equivalent of one years employ
ment for about 1000 men.
