' - GREATEST LUMIItilt CUT. . . iLre lumber was cut in the United dliuaa last year than in any other yi.,, iu its history. The enormous .n .nt of 37,550, 73C board feet was lis, jccd, and the mill valuo of this i... $,t,21,151,3SS. In addition, tli, . wero produced 11,S5S,2C0,000 at jlcs, valued at $24,155,555, and :! J, 807, 000 lath, valued at $11, rr ..70. On the whole, it is safe tit y that the present annual lumber cu' jf the U. S. approximates 4 If llion feet, and that the total mill va" 3 of the lumber, lath and shing le!, .ach yeiir produced is not less till $700,000,000. These figures '4 some idea of how vast is tho lu er industry and how great Is the Io.' .nd for its products. J glance at the kinds of lumber pr " iced shows very clearly the pass in' f white pine and oak, one of tho jsr . 'est softwood and the other the IV est haidwood which the forest "to. jver grown. Sinco'1899 the cut of ".ite pine has fallen off more than "Jl! jer cent. To-day yellow pine let, ' , all other woods in amount cut, -wL"j Douglas fir and this will bo a -.iu .. iso to many comes second. Stt. , 1899 tho cut of Douglas fir has inc' ased ISO per cent. Louisiana is -tit' "oremost yellow pincState, with TC'", Mississippi and Arkansas fol lov -S in order. Washington pro nit! ' j by far tho greatest amount of atfslas fir. A comparison of the lumber-pro- ilu,' .g States show that slnco 1899 tllej have been many changes In tile' relative rank. Washington, 'wh h In 1S99 stood sixth, now loads, -will' 3 Wisconsin, which eight years ago led all others, Is now third. In tUn amo period Oregon, Louisiana, ML. .ssippl, Idaho and California ma'.', great strides as lumber-producing .ates, though, on tho other hand, tlUi amount produced In Michigan, AYU onsin, Minnesota, Georgia, Kon tufy, Tennessee, Missouri, Indiana ami Ohio fell off anywhere from 29 t 64 per cent. .Tho highest-priced native woods .no valmits, hickory, and ash, and the cheapest are larch and whlto fir. l?rui tho fact, however, that slnco IS;, tho avorago in tho prico of lum lior ha been 49 per cent, it will not q ' ng boforo cheap woods aro fow tand far between.

A dollar wns tagged and on tho tag was tho ro qu&t to note to whom It was paid nud 'or what. In a fow hours It had .passed through tho hands of a grocer, st butcher a collector, a book storo jiian, a hardwaro merchant and a preacher, in a fow days it had paid uvor $100 ,urlh of debts. Tho idea was to, show that a dollar spent at Tiomtj does good to many each day, ind .hat Ub urinal monetary valuo Is .tint Its full measuro of good in a coimuunlty.

TE1EY SAY G. W. LANGWORTHY (Pro pletor of Laugworthy barber shop.) "Coos Bay will bo tho next city of size on the Pacific coast. Why do I think so? This section Is practically virgin in coal, timber and soil re sources. Tho comparatively small mills which have been running have made as much Inroad on its timber supply as an ant eating Its way into a hardwood log. Its remarkable de posits of coal remain practically un touched, when it is remembered that government statistics give this sec tion 800,000,000 tons of coal. Its ample resources render It practically Immune to any monetary disturb ances of the outside; for example witness how much effect tho recent financial flurry affected the com munities in the Coos Day country. Last and equally important the pri mlse which tho harbor gives assur ance. This, coupled with tho other advantages, and the foundation of the whole thing, the climate, is ample proof of a wonderful future, and cause for any man settling hero and growing up with the country." DR. J. T. McCORM AC (President of Marshfield Chamber of Commerce) "The plank roadway between Marsh field and North Bend will be a won derful advantage to the entire Coos Bay country. It Is obvious that its completion will mean increased travel and closer relations not only with North Bend but Empire as well. At the present time traffic is com pelled to come over the old county road between the two places and as a result many persons forego the trips to this city as well as North Bond who otherwise would make them." Note The Marshfield-North Bend plank roadway Is now completed to within a few hundred feet this side tho old stave mill. Major Kinney Is now commencing work on the build ing of the roadway in front of his Plat B properties, which means about 3284 feet of plank road. When this is completed there will be a space of several hundred feet between It and tho roadway "already constructed out of Marshfield. The principal part of this property is owned by Eugene O'Connell. When ho builds his por tion of the plank roadway and tho other owners builds tho small in tervening space thero will bo naught left but for tho North Bend people to go ahead with their part of it, and Marshfield and North Bend will be connected with a spacious plank roadway. As Mayor L. J. Simp son has taken tho responsibility of building the North Bend end of tho roadway. Its completion is as good has consummated as soon as a con tlnous roadway from Marshfield to tho North Bend end Is completed. A now organization has sprung into being on Coos Bay. To Jay C. Mahony belongs tho honor of insti gating tho movement which led to its Inception. Tho instigation took place in W. J. Rust's real estate ofllco Mon day afternoon. Tho inception was consumated In tho law offices of At torneys J. S. Coko and J. D. Goss on tho afternoon of Tuesday, Feb. 4 at 2:30 o'clock. Tho name of tho fra ternity has been recorded on the books as tho "Endoskeletons." In an interview Mr. Mahony mado a pithy statement iu which ho gavo u skeleton outllno of tho society's mis sion, its proposed scopo of work and the ultlmato plnnaclo it hopes to at tain. Tho slogan of tho society Is, "Pro tection for rho Shadows." Later on a number of fraternity yells will bo mitten and theso will bo given by tho boys on meeting nights and whenvor two or three members congregato for a rorlod of moro than three niinuies. As a means of Instant recognition when In throngs or other crowded places where mombers fear for njr sonal safety a countersign has been selected. Tho countersign is to bo changed once each month or often cr if the members get wearied as it is tho deslro to havo tho members on edge with enthusiasm at all times so that thero will bo no danger of expul sion from tho fraternity for over weight. For February tho counter sign will bo "Nabisco." This Is ex cellent. It is quickly said and tho members can eat almost any quantity without inviting obesity. Mr. Ma hony suggests that a packngo bo car ried In tho right hand coat pocket of each menibor. Packages can be pur chased at any grocery for 5 cents. If this rule is observed by mambors It will avoid undue wasto of tlmo whon Bomo of tho fraternity aro unable to got gold ohnnBOd at tho store. For example Monibor No. 11, Nnblsco le63, moots No. 7.

Man's best gifts lie beyond tho power of man either to give or take away. This unl- verse, the grandest and love- liest work of nature, and the intellect which was created to ob- servo and admire it, aro our special and eternal possessions, which shall last as long as we last ourselves. Cheerful, there- fore, and erect, let us hasten with undaunted footsteps whithersoever our fortunes lead us. Seneca. Ole Olson Perplexed.

The definite scale of avoirdupois proportionate to tho height has not been arranged in de tail but in general it will run about thus: Anywhere between five feet six inches in height, maximum weight, 120 pounds members will bo allowed to wear overcoats when weighing for entrance. Anywhere between five feet six and six feet in height, maximum weight, 122 A pounds note; applicants exceeding six feet will send up their card and wait at the bottom of the stairway of tho Lockhart building for examina tion as tho cushions on tho billiard table In tho MUllcoma club aro ex tremely susceptible to jar. Mc Arthur's pharmacy has kindly volun teered tho uso of Its scales for the en trance test weighings. The hall for tho meetings of tho fraternity has not yet been solected. Choice now hovers between tho Masonic Opera house ticket offlco on Front street nud E. II. Johnson's real estate and employ ment office across tho street. Tho printing will bo dono either at tho Sun or tho Harbor office. Attor ney G. N. Farrln has been voted as legal adviser of tho fraternity. Mr. Mnhouy believes tho fraternity will find a strong following among tho nowspapor men of tho bay. As new. members are added their names will bo published In this paper which Is Its official organ. At tho first meeting official action) Is oxpectod to bo taken on tho Leap Year question. Talks will bo made' by tho married men. No ladies will , bo allowed at this mooting. , I At this meeting tho matter of a mascot will also bo disposed of. Buck, shot's dog "Skookum" Is now looked upon with favor. "Skookum" only wolghs 20 pounds and "Buck" just bought hliu a year's lonso on Hfo from Marshal Cnrtor. This will moan moro Nablscos for tho fratern ity.
