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.
An interesting experiment was
-tried in an eastern town. 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. Spent with a cataloguo
'hotm, It luua tho homo town nnd
floea no more good there.

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

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.

A son of Svaden, gude an' dear,
Ay Bet ho'll vln the place.
Ay lak to see him mak' a vln,
An at tho White House visit;
The Svades will put Yon Yonson In,
But which Yon Yonson Is It?
Ay know Yon Yonson yumplng logs,
Yon Yonson milking cows;
Ay know Yon Yonson training dogs,
Yon Yonson making house.
Ay know Yon Yonson, -railroad yack,
On heem Ay mak' wan visit;
Of Yonsons Ay know one big pack,
O, which Yon Yonson is it?
In Stockholm, Copenhagen, too,
Are Yonsons bay the score;
Bay Ylmminy, Ay tell you true,
In Minnesota more.
Yon Yonsons, coppers on the beat,
Svade servant girls they visit;
So many Yonsons Ay have meet,
O, which Yon Yonson Is it?
You bat Yon Yonson gat ma vote,
Ay know heem gude an' true;

Or Captain of tho crew.
Yon Yonson, milking cows, maybe,
Ay don't care; Ay won't miss it;
It makes no deeference to me,
Which Yonny Yonson is it.
