In regard to the growing demand
for OrcL'011 timber Inn. In. W. T.

Slates Iind Oll'iee nt Oregon Citv,
nays:
"The oiil settlers thought the
timber lauds of Oregon were nil ta

"The timber Innda of tha North

sid.riitft tlie wi.leniug demand for,J(1,d ))t f()r H lino f ,1(.ll,l f(OJI
lumber, and I look lor their entire j p;ugen to connect with the regular
exhaustion within the next thirty I line of boats operating out of Pott
years, in the light of the present 1 a 1 1 The i.lea, us explained In
, ,. ,. Sir, liRinbcit, is to put on boats ol
denuding of the forests nt the I
denuding
liands of thi loggers. Timber,
therefore, is destined to go up in
ft) " price, as the supply lessens, ami 1111-!
less Home Hubstitute is discovered
iu the meantime, there will bo little
or no available building material in
the year 107.
' '.'At the same time concrete and
steels is coming into favor among
builders, and the shortage of lum
ber may not be felt no acutely as
the trees are cut down. It will
take about fifty years for the young
X'ilars to become available for piles
-and poles, ttie second growth may
become available for thcee purposes
in the course of time. The mam
moth lieea will disappear forever,
and the land upon which they now
Htnnd will be changed into agricul
tural or grazing lands, and increas
ing in value as the years go by."
SUFFRAGE IS A FAILURE.
Miss Phoebe Cousins, a Former Strong
Advocate. Takes Woman"8 Privi
logo and Changes Her Mind.
l'hoebe VV. Cousins, the first wo
man United States marshal this
country ever had, for many years
ono of the most ardent ndvonatcB of
erptal righta for. womeu, and n
prominent figure at every woman's
rights convention in the early days
ot the movement, declares that suf
frage lias been a failure, and ex
presses her belief that! the country
ih not ready lor female votes aud
will not be for some time.
Miss Cousins declared that the
Huf'fragistH got off on the wrong
track. She defended Reed Smoot
ngainst his female opponents and
said that the suffragists, in lighting
Smoot, vvoro trying to mix church
with state, iicondition which should
never be tolerated.
1 11 demanding prohibition for the
District of Columbia, Miss Cousins
says that it would bo absurd to es
tablish such a law for the District
of Columbja were toreigu diplomats
who are used to drinking should be
entitled to what they are vtBed to
and what llif y want.

ORECON S REFORMS WORLD WIDE
Citizens of Swcedcn Wants to Know
About Initiative and Rcfe.
- endtim.
That the eyes of the world am
fixed on Oregon is no mere ctheiciil
Ulream ot tlie enthusiastic booster.
Not only are Oregon h great and
undeveloped resources enticing to
hundreds of emigrants but the
great governmental reforms the
Heaver state has inaugurated are
no lesB attractive to foreign diplo
mats and publicists.
Another instance was noted in a
letter received by (loveAior Cham
berlain from far away liweedon.
The missive sought inloimalion rel
ative to the initiative and referen
dum ancl more particularly on its
effoct on political parties. The in
formation is sought by Otto tlrond
luud of Stockholm, who is connect
ed with the Central Bureau of Sta
tistics of Sweodcn. Ho ntates that
he is preparing a tieatiso on the
subject and that ho has learned
that the two measures had been
adopted by tho Oregon legislature
and that he wished to know moro
of their practical application.
