LESS FOREST AREA CONSUMPTION THREE TIMES FASTER THAN THE GROWTH Approximate Figures Given by tilt Head of the Incctlnii Corps, Who Make Public Interesting aud In structive Figure How Many Peo ple Knew That Texiw Hus the Largest Forett Area?- Estimate of Timber Now Standing. "Kvery peracn In the United State coriutnci six time more - timber a year than the average - In Europe. Each year, the United States con sumes three times as much timber as tho yearly growth of the stand ing trees. ' n.nku these astonishing statements, after sveii'ling many weeks tr. gath ering data on the subject, and offers his assertion as the consensus of opinion among Intruded lumber men and statisticians. "All such cstlmutes. In the nature of tlx- ease, are estimated, and are not offered as mathematical accura cies," Mr. KellcttfC said to your' cor respondent. "But, so near as It Is poMilulc to reach correct conclusions, I believe 1 have presented them In this "latement." Mr. Kellogg Is not one of those theorists, ttliosr devotion to forestry ho been within the walls of a Wash ington office; he Is a well educated young man, versed In the science of forestry, and who has "hoofed It" along tho trnlls of the western moun tulus for years nnd bus come east frrm hi native region the Pacific count.

The Pacific states, theiefore, have one fourth of that of the entire country. Arilvlng at the wooded areas was easy; estimating the quantity of standing timber was not. So nearly, however, as possible for him, Mr. Kellogg has ascertained It, as follows-. Oregon, 226 billion feet board measure; Washington, 195 billion feet; California, 180 billion; British Columbia, 160 billion; Idaho and Montana, 100 billion. - Mny Pacific coast authorities will ouestlon the uccuiacy of theso fig ures, and If they do Mr. Kellogg will not take violent Issue with them, at thuugh he Is disposed to believe that his figures are approximately cor rect. Previous government .surveys have credited standing timber as follows: Oregon 326 billion feet; Washington 236 billion; California 190 billion; Idaho and Montana, 1B0 billion. DEDICATED K. OF P.

Grain Shipments Down the Snake As a result of the fine stage of wa ter thnt, has prevailed in the Snake river during the post winter and pres ent spring, the moving of the grain , rop of 1 from the river ware houses' will be entirely completed by June 1, says the Lewlstnn Tribune. In piFt years there have been sea sons when It has been impossible to move the crop before the new one began piling Into the warehouses. nnd.this fact Indicates how Important to river traffic has been the good stage n? w.iter of the present season. Of the tutnl of 760,000 sacks, or 1.500.000 bushels', stored In the ware houses last fall, only about 200,000 (licks, or 100,000 bushels remain to he moved. Of this amount 20.000 sack" are In the upper river ware houses at Asotin, Waha, Ten Mile and Cause creek. On the lower liver tru-re are about 180,000 sacks stored about as follows In the several ware houses: Mayvlew, 00,000; Ilia, 40, 000, Alniotn; 40,000; Coons, 20,000; Jenkins, 20,000. The three boats Lewlston, Spo kane and Mountain Gem are all en gaged In the wheat traffic on .tho down river trips and are taking out about 36,000 sacks a week. Some grain Is also being moved from Al tnnta over the new railroad. By June 1 the Inst of the wheat will have been handled and this will leave three boats free to handle the big fruit crop which will then be entering up on the market. The reports received bv the O. R. & N. show that the fruit crop will represent the largest ton nage this year In the history of the fruit Industry along the river and It t the plan to give the fruit growers the best possible service In the way of r.rompt shipping facilities.

Lewlston Teller. The trial of Moyer, Haywood, and Pettlbone for the murder of ex-Governor Frank Steunenberg of Idaho, will open at Boise City on May 9, and promises to attract national Interest. Already many prominent magazine writers, reporters, press ageflts and artists are on the ground taking notes and preparing advance copy on tho trial and Its features. The case has many unusual features and In many respects Is the most Im portant criminal action ever brought In the United States, It Is far more Important than the murder by feud ists of Governor Goebel of Kentucky, and approaches the assassination of president of the United States In na tional interest on account of the ex traordinary Issues Involved. ' ; It Is looked upon as a death strug gle betwen the miners and mine own ers and the best attorneys available have been retained by both sides In the contest. Ex-Governor Steunenberg was mur dered by the explosion of a bomb as he entered his own dooryard at Cald well, Idaho, on the night of Decem ber 80, 1906, and the man who Is said to have confessed that he committed the crime, Harry Orchard, was arrest ed three days afterward, and Moyer, Haywood and Pettlbone, implicated by Orchard In his alleged confession, were arrested within eight weeks of the commission of the murder. The delay In bringing the men to trlnl has been advantageous to the de fense,' In that It has enabled the Fed eration attorneys to reach Steve Ad ams, who was the chief corroborating witness of Orchard, through the for mer's uncle, who was allowed to visit him at the penitentiary. Through the Influence of the uncle ' Adams was mode dissatisfied. ' He recanted his confession, and upon application for writ of habeas corpus he was given his liberty1 and one of the state's most Important witnesses was lost to the state and gained by the defense. Both of these Important points gained by the defense, were the result of carry ing out careful and well laid plans by the federation attorneys. While It was true that Adams was Immediately rearrested on .the charge of killing Fred Tyler In north Idaho, and for which he was given a speedy trial, yet as a witness for the state he Is lost forever. Moyer. Haywood and Pettlbone, who had been Implicated by Orchard's confession as the Instigators of the Steunenberg murder, were arrested at night In Denver upon a requ'sltlon cf the governor of Colorado and hurried on a special train to Boise. The three men were chnrged with being accomplices of Orchard, and under the statutes of Idaho, an accomplice is held equally guilty with the prin cipal, and If convicted may receive the same punishment. It was this point that stirred up ei much antagonism to the action of the Idaho authorities, as they later were forced to charge the men with the actual commission of the crime, when It was known thnt neither of them had been in the state for months, for If Orchard's confession be true, then under the Idaho law they are In fact equally guilty with Orchard. No sooner hod the federation offi cials been lodged In the Idaho peni tentiary for snfe keeping than feder ation attorneys from Denver and Spo kane started for Eolse, On arriving here they sought to release the pris oners by invoking the aid of the writ of habeas corpuB. They filed the f'rt application In the district court, where. after argument, the writ was denied An appeal was then taken to the state supreme court of the United States. About this time application was made for the writ In the United States dis trict court In Boise before Judge Beatty. After a hearing Judge Beatty denied the writ, and an appeal was taken to the supreme court of the United Sfntes, making two appeals pending before the court of last resort. Finally the court handed down an opinion sustaining the decision of the Idaho courts in holding the prisoners to answer to the charges and stand trial In this state. Although that decision was render ed last fall, the mandate did not ar rive until the middle of March. For the last six months, Moyer, Hay wood and Pettlbone have been con fined In the county Jail at Boise. They were allowed to take exercise on the court house lawn several times each day, are in apparent perfect health, and look much heavier than when they were brought here from Colorado. Orchard was kept in close confine ment at his own request. He was said to be afraid of dynamiters, and at his own request he was never taken out unless accompanied by three or four guards. While Orchard's confession is considered the chief testimony against the prisoners, it Is said that telpher letters and telegrams from them found In Orchard's trunk In the Caldwell depot a few days after his arrest, mny be of even more Import ance than the testimony of Orchard himself.
