Every person in the United States is using over six times as much wood as he would use if he were in Europe. The country as a whole consumes every year between three and fou times more wood than all the forests of the United States grow in the meantime. The average acre of forest lays up a store of only ten cubic feet annually, whereas it ought to be laying up at least 30 cubio feet in order to furnish the products taken out of it. Since 1880 more than 700,000,000,000 feet of timber have been cut for lumber alone, including 80,000,000,000 feet of coniferous timber in excess of the total coniferous stumpage estimate of the Census of 1880. These are some of the remarkable statements made in a circular just issued by the Forest Service, which deals with the timber supply of the United States and reviews the stump age estimates made by all the im portant authorities. - A study of the circular must lead directly to the con clusion that the rate at which forest products in the United States have been and are being consumed is far too lavish, and that only one result can follow unless steps are promptly taken to prevent waste in use and to increase the growth rate of every acre of forest in the United States. The result is a timber famine. This coun try is today in the same position with regard to forest resources was as Ger many 150 years ago. Duringthls per iod of 150 years such German states as Saxony and Prussia, particularly the latter, have applied a policy of gov ernment control and regulation which has immensely increased the produc tivity of their forests. The same pol icy will achieve even better results in the United States, because we have the advantage of all the lessons which Europe has learned and paid for in the course of a century of theory and practice. Lest it might be assumed that the rapid and gaining depletion of Amer ican forest resources is sufficiently acccounted for by the increase of pop ulation, it is pointed out in the circu lar that the increase in population since 1880 is barely more than half the increase in lumber cut in the same period. Two areas supplying timber have already reached and passed their maximum production the Northeast ern states in 1870 and the Lake states in 1900. Today the Southern states, which cut yellow pine amounting to one-third the total annual lumber cut of the country, are undoubtedly Hear ing their maximum. The Pacific states will soon take the ascendancy. The state of Washington in a few years has come to the front and now ranks first of all individual states in volume of cut. At present but one-fifth of the total forest area or the United States is embraced in National Forests. The remaining four-fifths have already passed or are most likely to pass into private hands. The average age of the trees felled for lumber this year is not less than 150 years. In other words, if he is to secure a second crop or trees of the same size, the lumber man or private forest owner must wait, say, at least one hundred years for the second crop to grow. As rule, such long-time investments as this waiting would involve do not commend themselves to business men who are accustomed to quick returns, jdus me oiaies ana me xsaiion can look much farther ahead. The larger, then, the area of State and National control over woodlands, the greater is the likelihood that the forests of the country will be kept permanently productive. strength of the fact that he is employed in this office. TheOBSERVKB has always paid its men good wages, in fact we know of no country printing office in Oregon that has paid higher wages, and in the sixteen years we have been in the business we have always paid our workmen full on Saturday night of each week. The fact is, there has never been the slightest excuse for any of our printers to contract debts, as we have always seen to it that they had enough wages to enable them to live comfortably, and have a surplus left each week. Such being the case, we would thank the merchants of Dallas if they would consult us before extend ing credit to any stranger in ou employ. The writer regrets to be even the innocent cause of any mer chant losing a debt, contracted by some Irresponsible printer employed in this office. Wagon For Sale. Good 3j farm wagon for sale. Mark Hayter, Dallas, Or. Dr It is a sign of substantial prosperity to see the old board sidewalks being torn up in all portions of town and neat concrete walks put down in their place. The substitution of cement for lumber in the construction of walks is another important step in Dallas' growth from a country town to a live, erowinar city. The new walks are neater and cleaner in every way, and besides adding much to the beauty of the city, will be less expensive in the end to the property owners. Let there be a rousing turnout of business men and citizens at the meeting called for next Monday night to make arrangements for the Fourth of July celebration in Dallas. It is up to this city to give the biggest and best celebration that has ever been held within the borders of Polk county. KUXNHS lAK.AI.ZS. Dr. Hayter. Dentist. Office over Wilson's Drug Store.

That the Observer ever should have had In its employ a workman who would so far forget his manhood as to fail to meeet his just debts and obli gations, is a matter of deep regret to its publisher.
