WASHINGTON; Dc. lO.-Thut tho j-orccntaje of tho foreign bora pouula tidu of this ccuntry lias remuiued prac-Wi-ully otational-y during tlie past 40 Tears is shown in the stimuli report of 06ar Straus, sucretary of commerce end iubor. The populuiion of tho Unit aS States in 1860 wus 1,443,321, of which 4,138,687, or 13.2 por cout, were foreign born. The population shown f the most recruit census, that'of ' l'JOO, whs 7fl,2D3,fl8Tf of wh1clr l.4ab.0SS, or irf.'T percent'-'weVtr'fbreig' boi'n. This is' pointed out as n soluc; to tho fears of those" who claim to believa that im migration may eveutuully eliminate the itutionai"cliaracteriatlcp un Amevican izo the nation;' As a result of the recent financial de pression, the net increase- of alien pop-u-lutiou for the fiscal yer.r just end ed was cut down to 209,867. There ar rived during the- year ft totul ot 924, SOS persons, of which 732,870 had this country aB their final destination, white 141,825 were passing through or were u'.oToly visitors. There left this country during the year 714,828 uliens. The total deportations' r.nil rejections during tho year waB 12,971, an increase of 50 per cent over lust year, in the ratio the deportations bear to the ud- urissions in tho respective yeurtr, and a sure proof of the fuller working of the r delusion laws. Tliosi figures do not include a largo number 'of undesirables rejected by tho steamship companies to avoid penalties.-'; No Bad Effect on Wages. The secretary says: " Notwithstanding' the large increase Id' immigration durfing .the past decad the wago standard of this country 1ms fat been lessened. On the contrary, it has continued to increase. I think it can' ulso to' stiiCed' ns' n fact that the iilinitgWtit! laborer nu' n' class- uminlly finds employment at I lie bottom of the softie of iilduotries, thereby leaving the litghof grade whoro work is more re mnnomflvo to tho native workman. Tho statistics show that in June, 1907, n total1 of 2208 Jnpnneso were admitted (1134 to tho continent and J074 to Ha waii)", and flint in June, 1H08, only 781 Japanese wero admitted (446 to the mainland and 330 to Hawaii), as a tur titer illustration of the gradual but sure reduction, it might bo notod that In the first mouth of tho past fiscal year 115S .Tnanes(i were admitted to continental United States: in January, 1908, only 405 were admitted, and in Juno, as al ready stated, only 446. During the en tire yeur, 9o44 Japanese wero admitted t ! continental United States, of whom fiOOS, of over half, woro non-laborers; diiring the Bsme period 5718 Japanese departed from continental United Mtntes mi that tho uct increase in the Jnp otieMO population was only 3826. During tho year the report continues, n'total of 2172 contract laborers have been removed from tho country. Many neinufnetuTlng 'concerns have been con ' vleted and mulcted for violation of the contract labor law, and there was one easo of imprisonment. Throe lilhor unions wero found among tho violator.), having brought in glass workers be-crime- of a disagreement between two rival organizations. Would Change Exclusion Laws. Of Chinese, 477 wore deported during the year; the cases of 445 aro pending, and 154 Chinese arrested were dis charged, escaped or died. The secretary as tin that, from motives of economy and eelerity in acting on cases, tho exclu sion of Chineso bo under eiecutive jur isdiction, a sis' the exclusiono f all othor aliens; and thereby be taken from the cumbersomo procedure of tho courts Shd a special nnd expensive olnns of immigration officials.

Tho first figures of tho inventory of tho forests of tho United States which tho national conservation commission has made wero presented to tho confer- eneo by Honutor Reed Smoot uf Utah I'luiirmau of the section of forest3 of tho commission. Senator Smoot 'a tvtort is a summary.of the tfmit mass of statis tics which the first inventory represents. jne report represents six months' work on tho part of the forest's section and presents the most striking figures of inn rorenrs' inventory. In part tho report is nu fnlluws: What Forests Do. Nest to our need of food and water comes our need of timber. Our indus tries subsisting wholly or mainly upon wood, pay the wages of more-than ouo and one-half billion men and women. torests not only grow timber, but they hold the soil, nnd they conserve streams for all useful purposes. How far forests increase tho rain is not yet known. It is well known that they check wind, and work against excessive heat or cold. What Wo Have, Our forests now cover 550 million acres, or about oue-fourth of tho United Stntes. Tho original forests covered not less than 850,0(10,000 acres, or near ly one-half. The yearly growth of wood in our forests does not nverage more than J2 cubic feet per acre. This given a total ; yearly growth of let:s than 7,000,000,000 cubic feet. What Is Used. We take from our foreHt each year, not 1KK'"K and in manufacture, 23,000, 1100,000 cords of firewood, 40,000,000,- 000 feet of lumber, more than 1,000,-1 000,000 posts, poles and fence rails, IIS,- 000,000 hewn ties, 1,500,000,000 staves, over 133,000,000 nets of heading, nearly 500,000,000 barrel hoops, 3,000,000 cords of native pulpwood, 105,000,000 cubic feet of round mino timbers, nnd 1,250, 000 cords of wood for distillation. , Where We Stand. W take from our forest each your, not counting tho loss by firo, three and one half times their yearly growth. Our lumber has increased not less than 15 per cent in the last seven years. But the average price of all kinds of lumber at the mill has risen 40 per cent, and the rise will continue. Tho condition of the world's supply of timber makes us already dependent upon whnt we produce. We send out of our country two and one-half times as much as we bring in. Except for finish ing woods, relatively insignificant in qunntitl, wo must grow our own sup ply or go without. Where We Might Stand. By reasonable thrift, we can produce a constant t imber supply beyond our present need, and with it conserve the usefulness of our streams for irriga tion, water supply, navigation and pow- Undoi right management, our for- osts will vield over four times as much lis now. Wo can reduce waste In the woods and in the mill at' least one-third, with present as well as future profit. Wo can perpetuate tho naval stores in dustry. Preservative treatment will re- iluce by one-fifth the quantity of timber used in the water or in the rgound. We 1 can practically stop forest fires at a j total yearly cost of one-fifth tho value . at the standing timber burned each year, not counting young growth. What Must Be Done.
