Quan tity o2 Timber TJist Will Grow In. Different Soils. TACOMA, "Wash., Oct. 20. During tbe last few months t&e forestry 'division of the Agricultural Department has had a iorco of onen at work in the Pacific Ivorthwest, snaking careful examination of the forests. The young men employed la these particular branches 'of the serv ice are selected from among the students and graduates of the leading colleges of the country, as .a rule. The work has heea carried oa in a systematic manner with a view to publishing the data gath ered, and for the purpose of showing the quality and quantity of timber that will prow -ia different soils, and the results of the different growths as affected by Hha climate and rainfalL It has been shown that on a satisfactory piece of land a new forest containing suit able merchantable timber will mature in from 40 to 60 years. In .one particular case it is.shown inhere a tree on "WilUpa Harbor attained a helghth of 200 feet in CO years. The employes of the forestry division of the Agricultural Department have succeeded in demonstrating the hlafehth a tree will grow at different ages. This is determined by counting the rings at the bottom of the tree and then cut ting the tree in sections and finding the height it had reached at the various stages of its growth. It is found that trees, as a rule, grow faster between the ages of 30 sind 40 years than at any other time. In certain districts in the Pacific Northwest trees will grow from three to four feet a year between the ages of 30 and 40, while in other districts, where there is less rainfall, the growth is from one to -two feet. The most rapid growth 4s obtained in the Gray's Harbor and Willipa Harbor sections of the State of "Washington. The very rapid growth at tained in- these sections results in a coarser grade of lumber than sections where growth is more steady. When fir trees are young it is found that they grow very slowly, and It is esti mated that few trees remain standing after the age of 500 years. Ih order .to secure the best results where timber land has been denuded, it is found that the land should be burned over. In cases where it is not burned over an unsatis factory Jgrowth of hemlock and other classes oftlmber results. It Is altfo found jthat a second growth of fir shows better advancement where the small trees are all about the same belghth and age. Owing to the scrubby 'growth of hem lock timber in the East, a prejudice has grown Tip in the forest regions of the Pacific Coast against the local hemlock, which, in this region, Is of sufficient size to be merchantable and of much value. The forestry division of the Agricultural Department Is preparing statistics which will give the actual value of the hemlock of Washington, and which, it is claimed, will be of great value to timber-buyers and those Interested In the manufacture p lumber. . In many instances'lt is found that the hemlock of the State of Washing ton has been attacked by caterpillars and considerable injury has resulted. On the other hand. It is found in the region north of Gray's Harbor that a very large quantity of the spruce lumber is subject to premature decay. In some instances itis estimated that fully 75 per cent of the standing spruce is now in a dying condi tion or la actually dead. The cause of this has not as yet been satisfactorily determined. Statistics gathered In Oregon show that the hemlock timber is -very valuable for pulp, but in the State of Washington "those eflgagea" in "the manufacture of ,japer report hemlock unsatisfactory. It is claimed that the pulp -used- for paper making purposes is practically the same In Oregon as in Washington, and that the unsatisfactory results' reported in this 'state are brought about by some misun derstanding in the use of the timber. An investigation is also being made to show the volume of the tanbark that may be had from the timber of the Pacific Northwest. This data is gleaned for the purpose of interesting capital in the es tablishment of tanneries. It has been found by the Government officials that the denuded or logged-over timber sections of the State of Wash ington are taxed unreasonably high. In sqme places the price placed'on these lands is $4. In other cases it ranges .as low as $A, but as the lands are of little or no value at present there are many instances where the taxes have not been paid. In Chehalls County, for instance, it is estii -mated that there are 50,000 acres of tim ber land on which no taxes are being paid. ENGLAND'S ODD -PENSION LIST Feople Wno GetJPAT for Worlc That Ia Sever Performed. If there, is no perpetuity of work under the government there is what many peo ple will think a great deal better per petuity of pay, says a London newspa per. "Once paid always paid," is the nappy condition of thousands of govern 'ment employes. Hundreds of thousands of pounds are paid from the public purse every year to people who do nothing at all for it. They may have sat on government stools years and1 years ago; they may have cooked prison food at Dartmoor; they may have been Judges or Chaplains in some little corner of the empire, where they are no longer wanted. They may have been housekeepers, laundresses, jail ers, laborers, Ministers, Judges, Govern ors, Consuls. It matters not. Our gen erous government compensates them all. It gives us a very kindly feeling to ward our government system to remem ber that the crown is still paying about 100 a year to laundresses and housekeep ers, who lost their washing and house keeping through the removal of the law courts from Westminster Hall 20 years go. There is a field laborer somewhere who has received 12& guineas a year for & quarter of a century because the offi cial surveyors of the United Xingdom &ad nothing more for him to do. Brync'i Unfulfilled Prophecies. Chicago Times-Herald. Here are a few more of the positive forecasts of tribulation and woe made by William Jennings Bryan four years ago: "If we are defeated in this campaign there is nothing before the people but four" years more of harder times and greater agitation." Speech -at Baltimore, September -19. 1896. "Wage-earners know that while a gold standard raises tihe purchasing power of the dollar., it also makes it mose difficult to obtain possession of the dollar; they know that employment is less permanent, toss of -work more probable, and re-employment less certain." Madison-Square Garden speech, August 121, 1896. The gold standard means dearer money; dear money means cheaper prop erty: cheaper property means harder times; harder times means more people et of work; more people out of work Basons more people destitute." Speech at Minneapolis, October 12; 1S96. What .has been the response of" time to the gloomy forebodings of this prophet of evil? Iit President Gompers, president of the American- Federation of Labor, and 'him self a Democrat, answer. Here Is what he said at the convention of that organi sation, held in Detroit, December 11, 1899: "The revival of industry which we have witnessed within the past year is one for general congratulation, and it should be our purpose to endeavor to prolong this era of more general employment and in dustrial activity. . . . It is" beyond. question that the. wages of the Organized workers -have been increased, and In many instancos the hourt of labor, either have been reduced or at least main tained." If Mr. Gompers had prepared his ad dress as a reply to Mr. Bryan, it could not have contradicted more flatly the predictions of misery and destitution ia which the prophet of calamity Indulged.

" - - '- BUSYlMAKrNGIJP REPORTS WtatK OF' GOVERNMENT DEPART MENTS FOR TWELVE MONTHS. Compilation Began in Augnst and Will Be Finished' This Month Most Important Bureaus. WASHINGTON, -Oct. 16.-Thls is annual .report time in Washington. In fact, the period from the 1st of August until the end of October may properly be desig nated as the annual report period. The data for annual reports is not reatly for compilation until the 1st of July, and there Is hardly a bureau In the Govern ment service that can collect enough mat ter in less .Jhan two months to make up a " well-balanced report of the year's work. The -period of compllatiqn ranges all the way from two months to six months, according to the character of the work of the various bureaus, and whether or not their forces are concentrated or scattered. These annual reports are pre-' pared first by the various bureau chiefs, and, when all the bureaus of a depart ment have reported, the Secretary looks .over the respective reports, and makes 'the annual report of tho department, which is nothing more than a summary of the reports of the various bureaus of that department The Pension Office, un der the Interior Department, Is always the flrst one .to make its annual report. Tho -reason Is that all the data that is necesasry to be 'embraced in the annual statement Is on file right in the depart ment, and as the files are kept up from day to day, it is only a matter of col lecting the data, putting it in reudable form, and, with a few comments and words of explanation, turnlngit over to the Secretary of th,e Interior for approval. This report is rather brief, by compari son, which Is another reason for its early appearance. The General Land Office is similarly fixed as regards data, but tho land report Is much ' more complicated, and has page after page of table work, which requires much time xo prepare, and on this account the land office report Is later. And so It goes with the various bureaus of all the Various departments. The Value of Annual Reports. These annual reports always contain more or less matter of general interest, and are eagerly sought by the newspaper men, who find a bountiful supply of copy in most every, report that is issued. Somo of the matter is old, and has been printed over and over again, but there is always something new. For Instance, "While the different acts of a bureau have been noted as they occurred, yet the opin ions of a bureau chief or one of the sec retaries 6n some matter coming befor that department may not have been pre viously printed, and such opinions are al ways at least of local interest. Then, too, It is always 'interesting to compare the work of a bureau for one year with the year preceding, or the work of four years preceding, under a different Administra tion. Just at this time Republican papers are constantly comparing the work of the fiscal year 1900 with that of 1896, the last year of the Cleveland Administration, and It may be added that these com parisons all make a very creditable show ing for tho present Administration. Then, too, while many bureaus .issue monthly statements showing the progress they .have made, it is necessary to wait for the annual report In order to get a com plete statement of the year's work, and annual statements are always more -Interesting and more valuable than monthly statements, as the year, rather, than the month, is tho basis of time in the de partments. Various seasons'affect differ ent departments differently, and such differences are not appreciated in monthly statements. "Where Reports Are Made. - The State Department and the Depart ment of Justice have but one annual re port e'ach, that bf the Secretary of State and of the Attorney-General. In the Treasury Department, aside"? rom the Sec retary's report, are''' many 'animal state ments from the different "bureaus. Some are Interesting, and others are so dry and unattractive that they are valuable only from point of record, and as giving the secretary facts on which to base his statement. The Supervising Architect al ways makes a report which shows -the progress that ihas been made on the vari ous public buildings throughout the coun try during tho year. This furnishes nuch data on which to work. The report ot the Life Saving Service Is of Interest to the Coast States, and the report of the Light house Board and Navigation Offices is In a. like manner of interest to the Coast States. One of the most important and universally valuable reports is that of the Controller 'of the Currency. Owing to the vast amount of information that Is embraced in this reprt, and the vast set of tables and statistics, this report is never readyi before Deceniber, and Is made to Congress. Reports of the Treas urer, Commissioner of Internal Revenue and Director of the Mint are of more or less Interest In certain sections, as Is he report of the Commissioner of Immigra tion. Army and Navy Reports.' At no time since the- Civil War have the reports of the War and Navy Depart ments been sought so eagerly "as in the last threo years. The Secretaries re ports are, of course, the last to appear, but the reports of the various bureaus come In for a considerable mention and comment long before the Secretaries' re ports are written. The report of the commanding General, coming as It does from a man who has perhaps as wide and comprehensive a .knowledge of military affairs as any man alive, is of extreme Importance, and his comments and rec ommendations are of great worth. The reports of the Generals commanding thi various departments of the Army also prove Interesting, especially to the sec tions over which these officers have sway. In the Department proper tho re ports of the Adjutant-General, Chief of Engineers, Commissary-General, Quartermaster-General, Chief of 'Ordnance, and in fact all bureau chiefs are given out from time to time. In the Navy Department we will now have an annual report from thp Admiral of the Navy and his report is expected 'to prove as Interesting as that of the. com manding General of the Army. In like manner will oome reports from the dif ferent bureaus including the Bureau of Ordnance, Bureau of Equipment, Navi gation,. Naval Intelligence. Yards and Docks, Steam Engineering Construction and Repair, and -all other bureaus. Col lectively, these reports will tell of what has been done in the matter of construc lng, equipping, repairing, and planning vessels of or for the Navy, and what has been done in the Navy. Yards, at .the naval docks and In other branches ot'the service which tend to strengthen and upbuild our naval equipment In the Interier Department. In many ways the business of the In terior Department Is" not as Interesting or as important as it was 10 years ago, but for all that there is' always a great change noted from year to year in the work of the" bureaus, and from a point of official Industry this department is as efficient and Important , as it: was in the "palmy days." Under the Secretary of the Interiorare "a number of important bureaus, and "others not so important, some practically--dead. Perhaps the 'most active Is the General Land Office, and while great land schemes such as were constantly afloat when the great West was being flrst settled, have failed to occupy the attention of the Department yet there are millions of acres of public lands dealt with every year, and thou sands of homesteads and mining locations are sustained or rejected in a twelve month. As previously stated, the report of the Land Office is statistical to a large extent, and requires much time In preparation, -but when-furnished to the Downing,; Hopkins & Co. Chicago Board of Trade DDAIPDC New York Stock Exchahfle DtUlVLn.3 Room 4, Ground-Floor - Chamber of Commerce ' . BOTH TELEPHONES public, it is one of the most Interesting reports In the Department TbeConi-, missioner'of Patents, while" doing 'a. large work each year, does not have much to make a spread on. in his report and usually submits a modest little statement of his office. The Pension Bureau makes a similar report. This year, and for several years to come, great interest will center in the reports of the Census Bu reau, 'but Inasmuch as that -bureau Is to make a large number of special; reports, It is exempt from making an -annual re port, other than a statement of Its forco and pay roll. The Commissioner of In dian Affairs makes- an annual report' to the Secretary of the Interior, and often tinfes there are found stowed away in some corner of his report facts"that are quite interesting. Yet Indian matters have quieted down, and what comment thefja is to make on their condition has been made oyer and over again, until there is little new that can be 'said, Alongside the Land Office, ' should- be placed the Geological Survey. No" Bureau in the Government makes such full or such elab orate reports as those of the Survey. And Its reports are always eagerly sought after by miners and prospectors. Much valuable information on gold deposits, coal deposits, and now on the forests is set forth in these comprehensive .reports, and they are today a monument to the printers' and lithographers' art Few people are aware that wo have a Bureau of Education, and fewer remember that thero was once an active office in Wash ington, presided over by the Commis sioner of Railroads. Both these bureaus exist, but the latter is practically dead, and the former is never heard of except in its periodical bulletins or when Dr. Sheldon Jackson takes it upon himself to submit a special report. Agriculture and Postofflce. A most miscellaneous report is that of the Agricultural Department. From that source we have reports on everything from the weather to the building of pub lic roads. This department, through its various bureaus is doing a great work for the farmers, and while littfe stock is generally taken in the Weather Bureau, the other branches lof ' the service are highly practical and furnish Information that is of real merit The Bureau of Ani mal Industry has done more for the farm ers toward preserving and protecting their cattle and horses 'than can be tola in a short space. The Bureau of For eign Markets has been a valuable assist ant to our exporters.' Those who 'are in terested In-forests have- obtained many valuable suggestions from the depart ment, and the ranchmen should ever be grateful for valuable Information, and even seed furnished for restocking and upbuilding depleted ranges. x Many, a farm given up as a failure has been re habilitated under a wise direction from experts of the Agricultural Department. And 'each year the new observations and discoveries made in these separate bu reaus is set forth, not only In the an nual report, but In special bulletins, and the farmer is given the full and direct benefit of the work.' The drain that is made on the members of Congress for the yearbook of this department Indicates that the work is appreciated. Everybody Is interested.ln- the malls and likes ttf know what Is being done each year to, increase the efficiency, of the mail service. All this is set forth In 'the re ports of the four Assistant Postmasters General, and. xjf the .Postmaster-General himself. Everything from riirai free de livery, to the latest way of putting stamps upon the market is reviewed in-these re ports. The improvements Inline railway mall service,. in thetcity .deliveries, pneu matic service and the force, everywhere employed Is all set down in- cold type for the ,beneflt of all. ' Unclassified Bureaus. Aside, from the departments mentioned are a number of separate bureaus that have not been placed under any speclai department. The Civil Service Commis sion is one, and its report is always of more or less Interest, and generally forms the basis for more or less political dis cussion and argument The Interstate Commerce Commission has to have Jts say, and while there is doubt in the minds of many as to- the material -of effective results of the commission, ye-t It must be heard from" as long' as it is maintained. .So with the Industrial Com mission, a. body which was termed by one of. its Congressional members as a "graft" "designed to give salaries to i number of political favorites, for which they condescend to come to Washington maybe twice a year and spend a day or twq sitting aoout, making themselves congenial, hut doing nothing. Yet this commission also haB Ub report to make. The( one unclassified bureau which is' of real importance is. the Fish Commlslon, and its reports are of some standard value. This commission has done more toward building up a threatened Industry of tho United States than any bureau of its size in the Government service, and it is Justly entitled to use large quantities of Government money each year -in its report The report of the Department of Lahor, as well as of. the Government Printing Office, .is more statistical thaji anything else, and Is of no. general inter est. Added to those named, reports are annually submitted by the Librarian of Congress, Board of Governors for the Sol diers' Home, the Board of Geographic Names and the Bureau of American Re publics. And when all is said, it might well be added that for all the practical good done, 75 per cent of the vast amount annually spent in printing and producing these annual reports might better be savod and put to somo use whore sQme real benefit will result Most of the an nual reports, that is, the greater part of most of them, is absolutely worthless, al though it Is not disputed that each bu reau should make an annual report But where many of them, make a report S00 or 400 pages long, a report of 25 pages would answer every purpose, and giye all fhe information thatv is needed by the gen eral public. Some Bad E&ecta. During much of the time when annual reports are blng prepared the bulk of public business in many bureaus Is prac tically suspended. It Is a notable fact that from" the 'first of August until late Jn he Fall the work done In many depart ments on current matters is riot enough to make any kind of a. showing. Not only bureau chiefs, but "the clerks, are taken from their regular work and put on the reports. And when "the! reports are ready the Secretaries drop their other duties and peruse the reports In order to gain data for their own reports. A no table example of this kind Is Secretary Hitchcock, of the Interior Department. He will not consent to' having any report, given out for publication "until he has' read every word of it Ai a matter of fact, the Information contained in these annual reports is not of sufficient Ira-, portance to warrant any secresy about MANHOOD DM. vuoiUMr, tha prescription pf a famous -.French physician, will Quickly cure- you of all nervous or diseases of the generative organs, such as Lost Manhood, 'Insomnia, Pains in the Bach:, Seminal Emissions, Kervons Debility, '.Pimples, Unfitness to Marry, Exhauiitins Drain, Varicocele and Constipation.
