pamphlet that has just been issued .by
the Department of Commerce and Iii
bor on the lumber cut of the United
States for last year. Washington heads
the list, as the greatest lumber-producing
state, while the following states are
credited with a larger cut than that of
Oregon! Louisiana. Texas, Mississippi,
Wisconsin, 'Arkansas. Michigan, Pennsyl
vania and Minnesota.
For the year 1907 there were 644 lumber
mills In this -state which reported the
manufacture of 1.635.5tS.O00 feet. boarj
measure, of soft woods, aggregating $22,
361,575 in value. The same mills for the
same period submitted ligures showing
the production of 4.727.000 feet, board
measure, of hard woods, representing a
value of J102.922. For the 12 months the
state is credited with the manufacture
of lath to the amount of 134.048.000 of the
value of J262.434 and 206.766,000 of shingles,
of the value of K76.926.
Oregon Figures Incomplete.
According to the report the aggregate
value of Oregon's lumber products for
the year was 23.2u3.8.-)6. Tiiis estimate,
however, is admittedly incomplete since
a great many of the mills operating in
the state did not furnish the Depart
ment with the reports that were re
quested. It was largely on this vol
unteer information that the published
statistics were based.
The total value of the lumber pro
ducts of the United States last year is
given as J707.095.4O9. distributed as fol
lows: Lumber. 1S66.641.367: lath, 110,342,
705 and shingles. 130.111,337. The value of
manufactured lumber and its products
for 1900 was only 1414,068,487. In part the
report says:
The most striking feature of the statistic,
for 1D07 Is that they .bow the largest lum
ber production ever recorded in the United
State fO.2Ti6.104.ouo. feet having a value
of sil6.B41,3t7 at the place of production.
Jn addition there were produced 3.0d3.O2.Hi0
lath, having a value of 110,342.705, and 11.
S24, 475.00O shingles, naving a value of $30.
111,3.17, which bring the total reported- value
of the lumber, lath and eiiingle production
in 1!7 tip to $7i7. 005,40". If it were possi
ble to secure absolutely complete statistic,
of the production of lumber, lath and shin
gles. It is probable that the total value of
the output would have approached $750,000.
Hrt, a much larger figure than that indicated
for any previous year. , .
Many Mills Closet! Down.
The year 1907 was an abnormal one in the
lumber industry. During the early part of
the year many mills In the yellow pine hep.
cut heavily because at that time conditions
seemed to Justify em-h operations. Latfr.
when the financial disturbance came, they
closed uown. either, partially or wholly: but
in many cages this reduction wae not suffi
cient to counterbalance the Increased output
earlier in the season, so that the total re
ported cut for the year was greater than
that for luoti. on the racific Coast, par-ti'-ulatly
In Washington and Oregon, a car
shortase- early in tiie yeer prevented the
manufacturers from taking full advantage of
the favorable condition. Then came the
panic, and finally the attempt by the trans
continental roti to increase freight rates,
so th.t for the last two months of the year,
and until recently, the lumber manufacturing
Industry of that region was almost paralyzed.
A xteady decline In the lumber production
from year to year is taking place in the
I.ake states, because of the exhaustion of
the white pine supply. These condition, to
gether with the greater thoroughness which
chai-e.cterir.ed the 1907 canvass, all contribut
ed to affect the totals re(jorted for U.e vari
ous states and the various species, as shown
in the succeeding tables of this pamphiet. it
i not probable that the actual amount of
lumber manufactured In the I'nited States
in 1!'7 was much, if any. greater than that
manufactured In 19u6.
Previous to 18S0. the decennial census col
lected Information only as to the value of
the forest products manufactured In census
years. The be?t estimates and figures tiiat
can obtained as to Quantity Indicate a

ISoO to over 470 board feet in 100,. the
highest point yet attained. Diminishing
timber resources, however, make it impos
sible for thl. rate of Increase to continue
much longer.
The number of mill, reporting in lOOi
was JS.8 per cent greater than tne number
reporting In 190tt. while the total cut re
ported shows an increase of only per
cent. Thl. Indicates clearly the increasing
effectiveness of the statistical work as the
smaller mills are being reached. The aver
age cut of the mills reporting for 1!')5
was 2.61S.O00 feet; that of the mills report
ing for 10. 1. M77.00O feet; and that of tiie
mills reporting for 1907. 1.SU5.000 feet. .
Decrease In AVashlngton.
The total cut in this state for 1907 was
1.635,563,000 feet, as against 1.604.S&4.0U0 feet
for the preceding year, or an increase
of about 31,000.000 feet. Washington, how
ever, last year did not equal its record
for 1906. The cut of that state last year
aggregated 3.177,606,000. as against 4.305,
053,000 for the year before. Continuing,
the report says:
As in the tvro previous years. "Washington
ranked first in lumber trbduction in 19U7
with 3.777.60B.OOO feet, though this Is a
decrease of 12.3 per cent from the produc
tion in 1006, due to the causes already
mentioned. Louisiana ranked second as
before, with a small increase, while Texas
advanced from eighth place In 1008 to third
place In lftOT, this advance being due. to
a considerable extent, to the fact that re
ports from more twan twice as many mills
in that stats were secured tor 1907 as for
1000 Mississippi ranked fourth as corn-
It pared with fifth for tho previous year, while
SORROW
Wisconsin dropped from third to fifth place.
The total nut In these five states was over
la.OOO.OOO.OOO feet, or almost one-third of
that of the entire United States. These
states are also the only ones reporting a
product In excess of 2.000.000.000 feet each.
Arkansas stood sixth, as In tho preceding
year, while Michigan dropped from fourth
p'lace in 1906 to seventh place in 1907.
This Is the first time in almost 40 years
that an annual cut of les than 2.000.000.
oon feet has been reported from Michigan.
Notwithstanding an increase of nearly 5
per cent in the number of repoJ.s received
from the Lake states (Minnesota, Wiscon
sin, and Michigan) in 1907. thu decrease
in the reported cut was 11.7 per cent. This
emphasizes strongly the constantly decreas
ing lumber production of the region, t!ue
to the exhaustion of the -.vhite pine supply.
There was a falling off even in Minnesota,
which now contains the largest amount of
standing white pine timber.
Classification of Sawmills.
The report also Includes a classifi
cation of the sawmills In each lumber
producing state, according to the
capacity of each plant. Oregon's 609
mills are distributed as follows: 239
having a capacity of from 50 M to 500
M; 3?7 from 500 M to 1000 M; 179. from
1000 M to 5000 M: 23 from 50.10 M to

No remedy that does not entirely remove the cause of Catarrh from the
blood will ever make a permanent cure of the trouble. Just as long as the
circulation remains contaminated with the impurities and catarrhal matters
which produce the trouble, the mucous membranes or inner linings of tne
body will be kept in a state of irritation and disease. Sprays, lotions and
other local applications will sometimes temporarily relieve the tight full
feeling in the head, buzzing noises in the ears, uncomfortable, stuffy feeling
of the nostrils, and help to loosen the mucus in the throat; but Catarrh is a
constitutional blood disorder and until it has been entirely driven from the
system there can be no permanent cure. S. S. S. cures Catarrh by removing
the cause from the blood. It attacks the disease at its head and. by thor
oughly purifying and cleansing the circulation, and ridding it of every par
ticle of impurity, and at the same time enriching the blood, allows the
inflamed and irritated membranes to heal, improves the general health, and
stops every disagreeable 63rmptom. S. S. S. reaches down to the very
bottom and leaves no trace of the disease in the system. Book on Catarrh

Efforts Made to Keep Von
Nieda Out of Jail.
CASH BAIL IS ADVANCED
Swindling- Scheme Said to Have
Been Worked by Prisoner One
That Extorted Money From
Poor Women.
Friends of C. K. Von . Nieda, who was
arrested by the Postal Inspectors last
week for conducting a get-rlch-quick
swindling concern, called the Pacific
Apron Company, are trying their best
to keep him out of jail. When the Fed
eral authorities arrested Von Nieda he
called in friends and cash bail was fur
nished by Fred C. Cook, a contractor,
with offices In the Chamber of Commerce,
with a promise that Von Nieda would be
on hand and appear for a hearing before
the United States Commissioner. Von
Nieda's friends also said they would
furnish a security bond, but the security
bond has not been given. The promise
is made that he will be brought before
the Commissioner for a hearing this
morning.
Von Nieda's swindling scheme is said
to be one of the worst that has been
brought to light in the history of the
city. His victims. Judging from the hun
dreds of letters he was receiving, were
vall poor women, or young girls who had
to work for a living. On the day lie was
arrested, something like 300 letters were
held up by the postal authorities and
fully 90 per cent of the letters contained
the dollar demanded by Von Nieda. Not
only are Von Nieda's friends trying to
keep him from, going to Jail, but they
are actually trying to have the case
dropped under the promise t.iat he will
Quit the business.
Just how many thousands of poor
wofnen have been duped by Von Nieda,
through his swindling scheme will never
be known. His offices were two small
rooms on the ninth floor of the Marquam
building. His office force consisted of
two girls who spent all of their time
opening the 'hundreds of letters he re
ceived as a result of his advertising in
the East, and sending 6ample aprons to
his victims. Von Nieda's scheme was to
fleece his victims out of a dollar under
the guise that he was to pay them $3.60
a dozen-for aprons that could be bought
in any store for about 9 cents. For the
dollar? the woman would get a sample
apron and when she had finished the
apron it was to be sent to htm for in
spection and correction. Of course the
aprons were never sewed correctly and
were sure to be sent back. A second
trial was given and when, the apron was
rejected a second time, which was a
certainty. Von Nieda kept the dollar. He
even demanded return stamps with every
communication.
The letterhead used and the wording
of the letter used by Von Nieda as a
come-on is cleverly written and would

nothing more uncommonly displayed by the

as though their bodies were machines that
could never wear out. Today we want to im
press upon you the importance of looking after
your health. Don't let the canker worm of
delay hypnotize yon into neglect but get tj;e
"today habit." Come over today and let us

confidential, heart-to-heart talk about your
health. If we can do you no good we will cer
tainly do you no harm. AVe have been much longer established in
