Washington, Nov. 18. While im
migration to America from all count
ries showed during October a con
siderable increase, being 29 per cent
greater than In October, 1005, and
12 per cent greater than October,
190C, tho increase of immigration
from Japan was greater than has
been shown in any one month in tho
history of the immigration service.
Tho restrictive regulations operating
against the Japanese and Coreans
have been in force about seven
months, notwithstanding this the im
migration of Japanese constantly" has
Increased during that period.
The official figures show that dur
ing October, 190G, before the restrict
ive regulations were thought of, the
number of Japanese who arrived In
this country was G84. During Octo
ber of this year the number, not
counting scores who were smuggled
across the Canadian and Mexican
borders, was 161G, an increase of
about 250 per cent.
While the Increase in Japanese Im
migration is not particularly alarm
ing in the minds of officials of tho
government, because the percentage
of Japanese Immigrants js not large,
It has been sufficient to create com
ment. No statement concerning the
matter, however, can be obtained
from- any responsible official of the
department of commerce and labor.

Eugene, Ore., Nov. 18. The S. P.

men on the railroad here with Japan

yesterday withoui tho previous no
tice. Most of them are heads of fam
ilies, and were calculating upon
working all winter, having wbrked all
spring and summer at a lower wago
than they could have 'received for
other work in order that they might
have steady jobs during the winter.
All summer the whites received ?1.'G
a day, but on October 1 they wero re
duced to $1.50. They accepted the
reduction uncomplainingly, but ob
jected emphatically to being , laid
off without previous notice. 'iho

wishes to exchange a list of 450
capitalists for $5, and will send the
list before obtaining tho money. One
man wants to know if machine shops
are needed here. Then another man
wishes a position as hotol clerk. Some
ask about the dairying, the nature of
tho soil, and tho most profitable
crops. A gas maker wants to hear
if there is any employment for him
on Coos Bay. A Wisconsin man who
has lived in tho slow east all his
Hfo has a sudden attack of western
fevor and would enter Into business.
One man wishes to know whether or
not Marshfleld is a literary center.
It would take many columns of a
newspaper to describe the contents
of those letters. Some of tho ques
tion's appear quite ludicrous to a
citizen of Coos Bay, but how -are
strangers a thousand or three thous
and miles from us'to know what the
conditions are? That's what, tho
chamber of commerce is for, and all
the letters are receiving cordial and
prompt replies. The fine booklet
which is being printed in Portland,
and which will bo profusely illustrat
ed, will soon be out, and then many
of the inquiries can bo answered by
tho booklet. Mr. Lyon has received
the. proofs of tho illustrations, and
tho work is very' commendable.
Tho people who answer the ad
vertisements very generally state in
what paper or magazine they saw the
same. Tho letters now being received
are from small inch reading notices
lately published in somo of the big
eastern dallies. The page ad in the
Pacific Monthly attracts Its quota of
answers, and this magazine has al
ways been a remunerative advertis
ing medium for the Coos Bay count
ry. Three hundred letters is tho num
ber received at the headquarters in
the past four days. That's getting
action on advertising, and no mis
take. Mr. Lyon Is thinking of put

Some of tho country's best whito plno

scatered stands aro found in tho

At tho present rate of cutting tho
tree will soon be practically a thing
of tho past. The small stands in the
National forests aro inconsiderable,
but they will bo managed with the
greatest conservatism by tho govern
ment through the Forest Service, and
through this method and practice of

tho fine old-tree will furnish timber
for other generations.

MOST VALUABLE WOOD
IS FAST DISAPPEARING
Washington, D. C, Nov. 18. The
position which the United States has
held as a lumber producing nation
has, perhaps, been due more to whito
mine than to any other wood. The
timber of this valuable tree which
has played a most important part in
the material development of tho na
tion in fast disappearing and now
it is as costly as the finest Ameri
can hardwoods.
Rev. Edward Hale, the chaplain of
the Senate, who has always taken an
interest in forestry deplores tho
passing of whito pine as our foremost
wood, and tells how In his own life
time he has seen the day when "tho
masts of every vessel that sailed the
Seven Seas were made from New
England grown pine; while today
very little white pine is cut In New
England big enough to finish n good
sized spar." He tells also, to illus
trate the increasing cost of tho wood,
that he ordered a Bet of book shelves
on which the cabinet maker made a
price, and then asked whether they
should be of mahogany or whito pine.
The white pine production lias
shifted from New England to tho
Lake States, and Michigan was the
leading lumber producing state for
twenty years, from 1870 to 1890,
with a supremacy based on whito
pine. In these two decades tho cut
was 160 billions of board feet, val
ued at tho point of production, at,
not less than two billions of dollars,
or -nearly half as much again as tho
value derived from all tho gold fields
of California from their discovery in
tho lato forties until the present.
Tho rich forests of Michigan wero
onco thought inexhaustible and lum
bering continued in a most reckless
manner for years. Suddenly the peo
ple awoke to tho fact that tho
thoughtless destruction of tho trees
had thrown 0,000,000 of acres on
the delinquent tax list. These white
pino barrens point to tho terriblo
penalty of wasting the forest re
sources which should havo been tho
heritage of all future generations.
An idea of the Increasing scarcity
of white pino timber is given by the
New York F. O. B. quotations, on a'
basis of carload lots. "Uppers" of
the best grade, cost $97 to $114 a
thousand board feet and tho "solects"
or next lower grade cost $79.50 ?to
$99.50. Men who aro yet middle
aged remember tho time when these
grades could bo purchased at $15 to
$25 a thousand feet. Tho present
quotations" on quartered white oak,
I which aro $75 to $80, offer another
basis of comparison wnlch indicates
tho condition of the market for whito
p'ino.
Tho best stands of this timber now
in this country are in scattered sec-
Itions in Minnesota, New England, and
