Industries of this country are astound
Ing. We use 36.000,000,000 feel of
lumber ovcry year for building, .1,000
000,000 feet of timber, 27,000,000 rail
road ties, 3.000,000 fonco posts and 1,
000 000 tole-graph poles.
"Our lumber Interests are worth
(60,000,000 a year; the wood that
farmers cut on thoir wood lots is rati
mated as bolng worth 1 109,000,000 and
tho wood pulp used in manufacturng
paper ia worth 110,000,000.
"I am sorry to say it, but it is a fact
that unless something Is dono right

Paris, Aug. 28. Tho roport of
French commission appointed to con
for with tho Unltod States Monetary
Kxchango Uommleslonera has been do
llvered to Ambassador Porter. It can
tains a note from Foreign Mlnlstor
Dolcasso saying Franco is not prepared
to oxpross binding conclusions until
sho has conEulted with tho powers.
Tho report endorses tho principle of a
gold standard for China and other
Hllvorusing countries, but it points out
that tho plan Is posiiblo only undor
Judicious control of tho colnago by tho
government and tho creation of an ade
quate gold resorvo. It favors a coinage
ratio for tho Orient fixing tho faco
valuo of silver slightly above Its bullion
value, similar to tho American system
in the. Philippines.
Semi-official advices from Russia in
dicate that tho commission nppolntod
by Finamo Minister Wltto has adoptod
a Blmllar conclusion. Tho French and
Russians consider it protorable to estab
lish n uniform eystom In China by be
ginning un a silver basis and nftoiward
raising It to n fixed gold valuo, than to
begin on a gold standard immodlatoly.
