A. C. Gulnnup, government Inspector
of tlmborlands, was In Oregon City,
Saturday. Mr. Gulnnup has been away
for the last six months among tho
big woods at the head waters of tho
Clackamas. He said that many tim
ber land men had been In the woods
lately and that a few deals had been
made.
Mr. Gulnnup Is a resident of this
county and lives on Oregon City Route
No. 2. He is a contractor and builder
by trade and on arriving In Oregon
City Saturday secured several men to
carry on the work of a large residence
he is building at Oak Grove, lie ex
pects to build several residences dur
ing the winter months for speculation
purposes, and to keep up with the
times In all local and county matters
he ordered the Dally Star to bo aeut
to him regularly.
In a recent letter by W. E. Curtis,
the famous Washington correspondent
of the Chicago Record-Herald, there
Vere the following Interesting para
county news as no other paper can and
During the last year tho forestry
service of the Department of Agricul
ture has. for the first time, attempted
to gather detailed statistics of the
lumber cut in the United States. Tho
task was undertaken In c(xperatlon
with the National Lumber Manufac
turer's association, whose members
cut at least one-third of the lumber
annually manufactured in the United
States. The final tabulation shows
the 11.653 sawmills cut 30,502,961,100
feet of lumber In 1905, valued at the
mills between $175,000,000 and $500,-
OoO.OtiO. The census bun-au gives tho
total value of the lumber cut In 1904
as $135,708,084. Mr. Kellogg, forest
assistant, who complies the figures ex
plains that there was a sharp raise In
prices in 1905.
Nearly 29 per cent of the lumber
cut of 1905 was yellow pine, and Mr.
Kellogg thinks that if full reports hnd
been secured this lead would have
been Increased to at least 34 per cent.
White pine follows with 16 per cent.
Douglas fir with 14.2 per cent
hemlock with 9.3 per cent, white oak,
per cent; spruce, 3.8 per cent, and
the remainder was divided among
twenty-one different kinds of lumber.
Nearly 19 per cent was hard wood and
81 per cent soft wood.
Washington leads the list of states
and furnished 12.8 per cent of the
lumber crop of 1905; Wisconsin comes
second w ith 8.3 per cent; next L'!
siuua nnu i.u yd will, iur:ii in iiiiiim- :
ta with R.3 per cent and Michigan with i
. per cent.
There has been a remarkable change
In the order of states. In 1850 New
York led the list of lumber producers;
in 1800, Pennsylvania: in 1870, 1880
and 1890, Michigan stood first. Wis
consin took the lead in 1900 and kept
it up to 1904, when Washington step
ped In and probably will retain the
position for a long time. Washington
has advanced from the fifth to the
first place in five years. Mississippi
is forging rapidly to the front and al
ready has passed California and Ore
gon. She Is treading on the heels of
Pennsylvania and Arkansas and soon
will overtake them. Michigan is go
ing down the list slowly, having drop
pod from the first to the fifth place
In five years.

W. E. I'ratt, and has sUxid thero slnco
the year 1850. This historic cherry

MERIT IN BILL FOR
COUNTY ATTORNEYS
STATESMAN APPROVES MEASURE
DRAWN BY DEPUTY ATTOR
NEY) 8CHUE8EL.
Thero Is some merit In tho bill of
Representative Campbell of Clacka
mas and Muitnoman to provide tor a
prosecuting attorney In each county
n tho state," says tho Salem States
man t'Uitorittiiy. sucti an officer
could bo of more service to tho peo
ple thun under tho present system,
where his district may embrace sev-
rat counties Involving a large amount
of traveling. Tho cost to thn state Is
very little different from that of tho
district attorneys and deputies as now
made up."
Tho foregoing Is a fair summary of
a few of tho advantages of tho meas
ure, which was drawn up by Deputy
District Attorney C. Schuebel, who
has found In actual experience the
necessity for tho change. '
