WASHINGTON, Aua. 30- -Figures
of the lumber cut in 1907, com
piled by the bureau of the census and
the forest service showed the largest
total ever reported In the Hutted
States, exceeding by over seven per
cent the cut reported for 1906, until
then the record year. This does not
necessarily show a lnrger actual cut
than in 1900, for the returns obtain
ed last year were more complete than
ever before. The figures themselves
disclose some interesting facts.
In 1907 28.8f0 mills made returns
and their production was over 40,
000.000.000 feet of lumber. This is
believed to include 95 per cent of the
actual cut. In 1900 22.398 mills re
ported nbout 37,500,000.000 feet.
Since according to these figures near
ly 29 per cent more mills reported
last year than the year, while the in
crease In production was only, a little
over seven per cent, It might be
thought that the amount actually
manufactured must have been great
er in the earlier year.
The south is the region of great
est activity In lumber production,
and yellow pine the most important
wood, forming 33 per cent of the en
tire cut of the country. The cut of
yellow pine reported shows an in
crease of 13 per cent over that ol
1900.
In the Lake stntes the falling off
evidenced the waning Bupply of
white pine. Michigan, which for
many years led all the states in lum
ber production, and then gave way
to Wisconsin, sank in 1907 from
fourth to seventh place, while Wis
consin went from third to fifth. Min
nesota as late as 1905 held fourth
place. Last year It went from sev
enth to ninth. It was not until the
latter 90's that the south displaced
this group -of slates as the most im
portant source oi lumuer supply.
Since southern pine is abundant in
all the Atlantic const states from the
Carollnas to Texas, the region as a
whole will doubtless maintain its
lending position for some years, in
spite of the fact that at the present
rate the bulk of the timber will be
gone in another decade, but In totals
of production by Individual states,
the leadership has since 1905 been
held by Washington.
Oregon Hun lncr4ii.se.
The figures of production show
that during 1907 Washington fell off
very decidedly from its huge cut ol
lJMUi, while its sister state, Oregon,
is credited with a slight increase In
its total, hi the early part of the
year Washington suffered from a car
shortage, and at the end the com
bined effect of business disturbance
and higher freight rates had brought
the industry almost to paralysis
Oregon kept up Its cut because of its
larger proportion of coastwise and
foreign trade. These two states to
gether produced more lumber than
any two slates in the Union.

ford's steady growth and apparently
permanent prosperity is attracting
various enterprises that pertain to a
ity, the latest being a streetcar line.
Next Monday a special election will
be held to decide on the application
of F. J. Hlnkeley, of Roseburg, ror a
streetcar franchise. The proposed
franchise calls for 50 years' duration
and car tracks on all the principal
streets of the city with Bteam, elec
tric, compressed air or other power.
The election has provoked a hot
fight and If the franchise passes It
will bo by a very small majority. The
two daily papers of the city are at
swords points over the proposition,
the Kvenlng Tribune leading the fac
tion favoring the franchise, while the
Moaning Mall Is at the head of the
opposition. The opponents of the
franchise claim that It binds the city
too much and the holder of the rran
rhlne too little and that It would
handicap the city In getting other
lines, while the supporters or the
franchise claim It fully safeguards
interests of the city and would not
