COMPARATIVE STATEMENT OF
, RESOURCES AND FIGURES
FOR YEARS 1908 AND 1907
WASHINGTON, March 8--The
production of more than 36,500.000
gallons of turpentine and more than
4000,000 barrels of rosin with a valu
ation of more than $14,000,000 for the
turpentine and nearly $18,000,000 for
the , rosin summarizes the output of
the Nava! Stores 'ndustry for 1908,
according to the preliminary report
ef the United States Forest Service
Just completed The study was provi
ded for in a special appropriation of
S000 by Congress and the report
contains the most complete and ac
curate statistics ever gathered for the
Kara! Stores industry in this country
and covers the production for both
1907 and 1903, giving comparative
figures for the two years.
Of the eight Southern states, each
producing more than 200,000 gallons
of turpentine and 25,000 barrels of
rosin, Florida leads the list with 17,
B3CUO0 gallons of turpentine in 1908
against 15.S72700 gallons in 1907, and
W32114 barrels of rosin in 1908
against 1 ,774,370 barrels in 1907.
i. Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana North Carolina, South
Carolina, and Texas follow in the or
der named. The comparative report
of the production by states is as fol
lows: While the figures show an increase
of 2.408200 gallons of turpentine and
288,962 barrels of rosin for 1908 over
1S07, there was a marked decrease in
the value of th product for 1908 as
compared with the preceding year.
This was due to the great decrease
in the prevailing prices for turpen
tine for 1908 and the slight decrease
in the prevailing prices for rosin dur
ing the same year. The value of the
product for the two years follows:
Turpentine, 1908, $14,112,377.32;
1907, $18283,309.93; rosin, 1908, $17,-783509-61;
1907, $17,317,059.93; a dif
rence in the value of the combined
output of $3,704, 482.93 in favor of
1907.
The figures used in determining
tfie value of turpentine and rosin for
the two years are based on the mark
ed quotations at Savannah the recog
nizor naval stores market of the Uni
ted States.. The average price receiv
ed for turpentine manufactured in
1908 was $0.3857 per gallon, and in
1907 was $0-5349 per gallon. The av
erage price received for rosin in 1908
was $4.14 P" barrel and in 1907 was
$4.33 per barrel.
The increase in production for
1908 over. 1907 was due to more fa
Torable weather and labor conditions
than to increased operation. But
few operators increased their op
erations, owing to the disorganized
condition of the market at the time
operations commenced. Figures upon
which the report of production for
the two years is based were secured

Proffessor Finds Skeleton Of Duck
Three Million Years Old.
XEW YORK. March 9--A com
plete skeleton of a prehistoric duck,
declared by Dr. H. B. Bumpns, of the
American Museum of Natural History
to be three million years old, has just
been acquired by the museum. The
specimen is so well preserved that the
greater part of the skin of the head,
body and legs may be seen. It was
found near Lance Creek, Wyo.
Mummies of F.uvn tkrrr nr fnnr
j thousand years old," said Dr-Bumpus
yesterday, "are considered to be re
spectable antiquities, and still more
venerable are the mammoths found
buried in the frozen tundras of Si
beria and Alaska, but even the mam
moths, tens of thousands of years old
are only curios of yesterday compared
with the antiquity of this dinosaur
mummy."

GREAT RUSH TO THE PACIFIC
NORTHWEST OF HOME
SEEKERS. (Special Correspondence) Port
land, Oregon, March 8th, 1909 They
are coming. People from every part
of the United States and Canada are
pouring into Oregon at the present
time at a rate never before equalled,
and there is evidence that the travel
during the entire colonist period will
be enormous. Many communities are
busy sending out leaflets giving the
low rate from twenty or twenty five
points, others have the Information
printed at the top of their stationery
and on their envelopes. Every read
er of this paper should see that such
a leaflet goes in each letter he sends
to people at a distance. School boys
and girls all over Oregon are doing
their part. Remember this rate is
good until the last day of April,

D. M. Brohyn, Keeper of the Privy
Purse to His Majesty King Edward,
to one of Oregon's best known and
most respected citizens, R. E- Brere

hytfs letten is interesting: "The five
boxes of apples which were sent to

were thought very highly of by the
King and others who tasted them. I
write to convey His Majesty's thanks

fact that they raised one evening last
week the sum of $2500.00 in twenty-
five minutes or at the rate of f 100 -

that Ontario has only 1500 popula

Comparatively few people of the
"Beaver State" realize that Forest
Grove is nationally known as the
source of America's most perfect ar
chery bows. Pacific Yew, which grows
to perfection in Oregon, is the ma
terial used, and Captain F. S- Barnes
fashions it with skilled hand into
bows sought by experts all over fhis
continent and evenabroad. Though
almost seventy years of age, the Cap
tain is himself a splendid archer, and
such an enthusiast in his chosen craft
that he makes personal trips to the
mountains each year to select Yew
of just the proper grade and grain
the altitude at which the tree grows
is an important factor. Occasionally
a bow of rare accuracy and highest
speed is created ,and these are digni
fied with names. "Cyclone" and
"Whirlwind" are famous among ar
chers. -HOUNDED" TO DEATH
NEW YORK, March, 9-A man
who, the police say, was Thomas Mur
phy, one of the cleverest of the old
time pick-pockets committed suicide
ast night by shooting himself through
the heart- He fired the shot while
sitting on a bench in a park in Har

tracted by the noise, arrived in tine
to see his body roll off onto the side
walk. Murphy had made prepara
tions for death, having recently gone
to an undertaker and left instructions
for the cremation of his body. A
peculiar statement was found on his
person, telling of his experiences with
the police and how he was "hounded"
by the police. He was60 years old
and formerly a bookmaker.

T. F. Laurin Sells the Great Remedy
That Cured Mn, Karberg
Here is a very simple yet wholly
sincere statement of a Michigan
woman, who was cured by using
Hyomei the no cure no pay remedy
for catarrh, asthma, hay fever, croup,
coughs and colds.
"A bad case of catarrh was cured
for me by the use of Hyomei. The
trouble affected my head, nose and
eyes, and was very annoying and dis
agreeable, and the cure, from the use
of Hyomei, was very gratifying.
Hyomei has from me a strong rec
ommend and endorsement." Mrs. E.
Karberg, 213 Kingsley St., Ann Ar
bor, Mich., Nov. 16, 1908.
Thousands of just such letters are
in existence, and thousands more
would be but for the desire to avoid
publicity.
If you have catarrh, bestir yourself
and drive it out of your system. Kill

BROUGH
NEW YORK SUBWAY TICKETS
TO BE COUNTERFEITED
PRINCIPALS BAGGED.
NHW YORK, March 9.-Scrct
service nun employed by the Inter
borough Rapid Transit Company
have unearthed a Kigantic scheme to
swindle the company by means of
counterfeit subway and elevated rail
way tickets. Three men and women
were placed under arrest yentenlay
afternoon and a small hand press,
two dies and 15,000 tickets were con
iiH'Mcd .
It is alleged that although few
bogus tickets have been sold so far,
those behind the scheme had made
elaborate arrangements to dispose of
them by the thousands at a so-called
club near 149th street and Third
avenue, at the rate of 2 1-2 cents
apiece. More than a week past de
tectives noticed that a number of
counterfeit tickets were in boxes of
the subway and an investigation was
begun. They were traced to the 14th
Street station and this led to the ar
rest of Henry J. Torrcns, who lived
with his young wife in West 44th
Street. The wife was alo taken into
custoy.
Torrctm, it is said, admitted that he
began the alleged swindle on Wash
ington's Birthday.
The counterfeit tickets for the sub
way are a gfod imitation, but the
elevated tickets are too liiiht in rlr.
They were apparently made in Brook
lyn, where Michael Rubinki ami
Samuel Rubin -ki, making the total
four prisoner, were arroted alter
Torrcns ami hi wife had been ar
reted. LAWS AS FINALLY PASSED.
(M.YMPIA, March 9-Appropria-tions
approved by the house today
aggregated $ 1 ,6m u!0. of which II,
2H0.0O0 it from the state road funds.
The omnibus appropriation bill,
which will be introduced tomorrow,
will carry close to $6,000,000 in addi
tion to $459,000 already appropriated
from the general fund. The bills
finally passed today were those re
quiring supreme judge to wear
gowns; to authorize the serving of
liquor with meals in first class cities,
and the life insurance code. ., The
house defeated the senate bill giving
prosecuting attorneys power to issue
warrants of arrest and the senate de
feated the bill for re submission of
the constitutional amendment de
feated at the polls last election pro
posing to change the taxation section
of the constitution that permit as
sessments of corporation property for
state purposes only, and permit the
fixing of reduced levies on moneys
and credits. The senate passed the
house bill prohibiting the shooting of
upland birls except prairie chickens,
amend amending it so that it applies
only to certain counties. President
Ruth of the senate, today ruled out
of order the resolutions providing for
the investigation of the insurance de
partment, and .was sustained on ap
peal. The resolution was a copy of
the one Introduced yesterday, except
it did not authorize the investigation
of any other department. The reso
lution defeated yesterday will come
up ofr reconsideration tomorrow.
