A nor left to Americans. "Iiong May
It O'er the Homo of the Free
and tbe band of the Brave." '
Columbia coamrrs timer lands.
It it not an infrequent occurrence,
ty any means, to happen upon est
mates of the world' supply of avail
" able timber, especially of the United
Slates. To people of the Pacific coast
a statement that a timber famine it
imminent seems extremely abaurd, bat
wheu unv tmeios Iheirsslf in gleaning
data in regard to the matter, facta be
come at once appreciated and their
vxistence more fully realized. Many
Authorities: obtainable demonstrate
that the slaughter of valuable timber
goes steadily onward with little heed
to results, and the facts are alarming.
Northwestern Oregon and the entire
western part of Washington contains
the greater part of the valuable tira-
frsr of this coast. Of course many
thousand acres of very valuable tim
ber is ret to be found in Central and
Southern Oregon and in parts of Cen
tral Washington, bat when the thought
presents itself of the vastly growing
demand for that commodity it strikes
the casual observer that the supply
will soon be vastly inadequate.
A. new era of civilizatioa is finding
its war into countries which hereto
fore have bad little use for a commod
ity such as the timber of this coast,
hence the demand becomes greater,
and improved business conditions in
our own country are creating a grow
lug steady demand for the product
la Japan and China, where an lm
fetus in railroad-building and other
improvements of a similiar nature
have only recently been inaugurated,
we find a demand for good quality
lumber, and that demand can be sup
plied only from this coast.
When we take into consideration
the comparatively small scope of coun
try to supply that and other demands,
does not the situation take on an alto
gether different phase from that first
impressed upon you when you have
viewed with awe the imaginary bound
less quantity of timber to be seen on
every band? For example, Columbia
county contains, perhaps, as nearly as
it can be estimated, 300,000 acres of
timber land, and while many acres
would supply a much greater quan
tity, yet a fair estimate would place
the amount per acre at 60,000 feet.
This estimate of 15,000,000,000 feet is
abont as fair as can be placed upon
the timber of Colombia county, and
while Tillamook county may possess
one-fourth more and Clatsop county
about an equal amount, the entire
amount for Northwestern Oreson
would not far overreach 50,000,000,000
fret.
H malion is obtained from a
very reliable source tha the destruc
tion of valuable limber on this coast is
greater now than in former years when
its real worth was less appreciated.
Competition and demand for better
grade of legs is closer than formerly,
consequently one or sometimes two
lugs are cut from a tree and the re
mainder is left to rot upon the grronnd.
In nine cases out of every ten there
yet remains several thousand feet ot
valuable lumber in the top of the tree,
but contracts demand absolutely clear
logs, thus occasioning the wanton
waste.
It is not misjudging to state that
the price of timbei lands in Columbia
county will never again reach the low
Water mark to which the ebb in busi
ness affairs has carried it within the
last few years. X growing demand at
better prices for timber lands is al-
ready noticed, and while this product
Is the chief stock in trade of this
County, any increase in prices will be
gladly received. Ixgs now command
better price than has obtained since
1893, and it is confidently expected
that a gradual increase in price will be
realized.
Ths fisheries committee of the As
toria Progressive Commercial Associa
tion is now arranging for a fisheries
congress, to be held there. The mat
ter will be taken up immediately after
regatta week and it is thought that ar
rangement can be made so that the
congress can be held in November.
Btitl. David Starr Jordan and many
other national authorities will be pres
ent. The best means of advancing
the great fishing industry of Oregon
will be disvnssed, and it is expected
that many new ideas will be brought
out. The artificial propagation of sal
Dion will be the most interesting subject
to come before the congress. This
matter will receive much attention and
practical experiments will be made
with salmon eggs from the hatcheries.
Wb fail to sre the merit in a special
session of the legislature at this late
day. Of course the newly-elected
in embers of that body would compose
it whenever it is convened, and if the
forty day period is insufficient to trans
act the busiiieag, let Governor Geer
reconvene the body immediately after
the regular session. And it must not
be forgotten that the next asaemly will
be fony-fonr republican on Joint ballot
mg something to be accomplished
the w.vr of valuable legislation.
It is easy for the fellows who pnt
llioir time chewing Battle Axe and
whittling dry goods boxes around the
shady corners to plan and execute the
maneuvers necessary to win battles on
land or sea, but for seasoned veteran
whose live hav besn devoted to the
study of war in all its hideonsnesa
the front it is quite another thing.
Whatbvkb effect the war with Spain
may have upon the future of the
American army, it is now generally
cnueoiled that it will give the United
Slates one of the largest as well a one
ol the most modern navies in the world.
The victory at Manila, followed op by
that at Santiago, ha revolutionized
congressional sentiment and converted
many former opponents to an increase
of the navy to the opinions of their
constituents. Many of them have
changed front and are now champions
of the movement fer a great naval
force.
LUMBER ORDERS COME WEST

Tacotua Ladirer.
Piatt B. Walker, editor of ths Mississippi

lumber journals of America, is la this city
on a roar of the Br nd redwood regions

best informed lumbermen in tb land.

tion delivers cold facts and formidable fig
ures with the ease and rapidity ot a rapid-
Bra gan, Ha says;
As long ss the present transportatioa
rates continue, Paciflo ooaat mills Bad
more profitable to ship rough lumber
foreign porta, so the thing will adjust itself.
Eastern trees are not largs enough to make
big Umbers, and nearly all sncb orders go
to Puget sound or Oregon, no matter with
what firm they an placed.
'The red cedar shingle from Paget sound
has entered the field to stay, and is used in
every town in the United State. A rival
was threatened a few years ago in ths
Southern cypress, bat it proved so much
Inferior that it went completely ont ef use.
"While yon have no rival in the North
ern Central states, the same cannot be said
of the South.
"From Galveston to Mobil and north
ward to Arkansas then ia an enormous eut
of yellow pine, and as there is almost no
horn market it is nearly all shipped north.
Much of it go right into Minneapolis.
Shipping facilities ar poor in Texas, aad
bat littls is shipped to foreign ports.
Minneapolis, which may be taken as
lumber center, ia 3000 miles from Paget
sound and 1800 from the Texas lumber dis
trict, so yon see the opportunities ar about
equal in that respect for both sections, but
Washington fir is undoubtedly going to keep
the lead.
This region has a great advantage In
logging. Tb logs ben will average 80 feet
without limbs, while with as sad In ths
South C feet is considered fair.
"The pine logs now being cut go about 12
to the thousand, while your fir logs will
cat 2000 feet to tb log.
I hare known on pine tract of five mil
lion feet to average 22 logs to tb thousand.
bat that la an extreme case.
"While economy is desired, the danger of
exhaustion of the timber supply in Oregon
ana Washington Is much exaggerated.
While the government expert are ain-
oere and are painstaking, and ar scientific
in their resesrebes, they are not infallible,
and their results ar not always born eat
by facts.
Twenty years sgo they announced that
if the rate of catting remained stationary
the timber of Minnesota would be exhausted
in 28 years. Now th rate of cutting baa
been trebled, and today tb date for exhaus
tion ia still pot 25 years ahead.
"Th trouble 1 that their data la weak.
They do not know bow much there is to be
gin with; they don't know how mncb baa
been eat, and they do not know how much
there is left. '
"Of course, fires do much damage, bat
they ar not won hare than they ar in
Minnesota or Wisconsin, in fact not so bad,
for tbey ran there in the living tree.
The timber really never is all cut for the
loggers go over the same ground several
times. Tby are still logging land in Mia
nesota which was first cnt 25 years ago,
Small trees grow op, aad logs considered
worthless before become valuable.
"The time will com when all th coast
hemlock will be eagerly sought. It it a far
better wood than it is ever given credit with
being.
'There is no question ot competition be
tween Washington fir and th white pin of
toe Worth Central state.
In the first pise the demand is largt
enough for both, and also the freight rates
limit ths coast trade in the East to a class of
lumber which does not grow to any large
extent East. -
"Coast shipments to th East consist of
either shingles, big Umbers, or high-grade
dressed lumber. Tb natnre of th Eastern
timber makes it more profitable to supply
tb demand for rough aa ordinary dressed
lumber than to devote too much attention
th bigbest clsss, or perhaps to state it
more clearly, wa cannot get enough of it to
supply the demand."
Bow to Avoid limber Famine.
Philadelphia Record.
There is but one avenue of escape from a
future fatnin la timber namely, tb in
trod action of scientific supervision of th
forests, and of judicious catting of lumber;
for under such improved conditions th
value of standing timber would continually
increase in greater proportion than the da-
crease due to cutting. It is owing largely
to th effort ot th forestry associations
that tbess simple economic laws ar now
gaining a foothold in the lumber trad.

Secretary Alger regards th Manilla fight

of tb sever engagement between the Span

Later, however, th Spaniards mad

PEACB AT HAND.
Negotiations Are Said to be PraotU
oally Closed.
WasHiaotoa, Aug. 10. The answer of
Spain to the terms of peace wa not entirely
satisfactory to this government, and far
ther negotiation are in progress today,
Definite results in the way of a complete
acceptance is looked for by tomorrow night,
snd possibly late today. One prominent
official who participated in the conferences
said:
"Th answer U not enough, but we ar
hopeful for tb result."
rormer negotiations then ar noses-
saryT" was asked.
Yes, but we look fer something definite
tomorrow."
Beyond this, no member ef th cabinet is
willing to go. The president aad Secretary
Pay are exerting every effort t prevent
new ot tb progress of negotiation trans.
piring until a definite result can be an
nounced.
Today several member of the cabinet
wer In conference with th president re
garding th situation. Shortly before 11 :80
Secretary Day, who had been in conference
with the French ambassador, called to con
sult tb president regarding peace negotia
tions. Th plainest evidence that peace has
not yet eoms is the admission, practically
official, that th negotiation are still in
progress, added to th fact that th utmost
secrecy ha been imposed by th president
Member of the cabinet believe thai by Fri
day morning, at the latest, and probably
before, a definite peace outcome will be as
sured beyond all doubt.
At th White Hons it was understood
that Cambon would transmit to Spain to
day a cablegram stating that complete and
and immediate acceptance of the terms Im
posed without reservation woald b essen
tial to effecting peace under tb present
terms offered by tb United State.
In this connection it has developed lost
oeior the Spanish answsr wa delivered
yesterday, that President McKinley has an
nounced that aa extra session of th senate
would be held doubtless in November.
With the peace situation at that stage
where a complete agreement is regarded
likely at any moment, the disenssloa has
again started as to convoking an extra ses
sion, but McKinley within the past 24 hours
has said positively that he has no intention
of calling the house together, though, of
course, th senate will have to meat in ex
tra session to ratify th traty of peace. Th
president added that th preliminary de
tail incident to the treaty of peace would
take so much time that tb senate would
not have to meet until November.
Washihqtow. Aug. 10. Th preliminary
negotiations looking toward tb conforma
tion of peace advanced a long step today
when th secretary of state and th French
ambassador agreed upon tb term upon
which future negotiation for a treaty are
to be conducted, and reduced these to th
form of a protocol. This protocol, it is true,
yet to be signsd, and is to be submitted to
the Spanish government before the formal
signatures ar affixed, but th administra
tion's view as to tb progress mad today
was set out in Secretary Day' statement,
which follows:
-we nave agreed upon a protocol, em
bodying the proposed terms for the nego
tiation of a treaty of peace, including th
evacuation of Cuba and Porto Bico, and it
Is expected the protocol will be executed,
ft can be stated that th terras ar precisely
those laid down by th president la his or
iginal note about a week ago. It is believed
that nothing but a few formalities remain
to be disposed of to secure tbe signature to
the proctocol."
