destruction of the remainder is be

servative estimate iudicates that
within twenty years, at the present
rate of destruction, the southern
pine will be practically exterminat
ed. For the welfare of the South
as well as lor the benefit of the en
tire country, the forests of the Ap
palachiau region should becom
permanent. The soil will bear no
other crop than trees, and with
these removed the mountains be

while the soil, silt, boulders, and
debris fill up and choke the dams

Within the past ten years an era
of manufacturing activity has been
established in the South. For
many years the Southern states
wr satisfied with agricultural su
ijJicuiacy; aim cotton, rice, sugar
and tobacco, sold to outside manu

I revenues which snrmnrteil her non

manufactured at home and the pro
fits of manufacturing would remain
in the community. To day, in the
Carolinas and Georgia over $40,-

run by waterpower, generating ov

nearly 3,000,000 spindles, consum
ing 900,000 bales ot cotton each
year, with a manufactured output
exceeding $70,000,000. Over 6o,
000 people are employed in these
mills, and more than 240,000 per
sous are supported by their earn
jugs.
The continued regularity of the
flow of a stream depends absolute
ly upon the preservation of the for

The cards which they used for this

mind the eligible young women of
her acquaintance and selects the
one she thinks will make the most

call on the young woman's parents,
armed with the prospective bride
groom's card, on which are written
his ancestral history, name and the
date of his birth. If the suit is ac
ceptable the bride's card is sent in

wedding are good the particulars of
the engagement are written on two
large red cards and sent to the
friends of each family.
Mr. Ferguson, two of whose down
town friends had just dined with
him, had taken them into the library
for a smoke, according to the New
York Sun. "I must tell you a good
one on my wife," he said. ''She's
been roasting me because I look at
the headlines in the papers once in a
while to see if anything important
is happening in the Thaw trial.
Well, the other afternoon, while
the girl was away, she put a pan of
biscuits in the oven to bake, and
while she was waiting she picked up
a paper and begun to read the stuff
herself. She got so interested in it
that she let the biscuits " At this
moment Mrs. Ferguson came into
the library for a book. "And the
joke -"of it was," continued Mr.
Ferguson, without a moment's
pause, "that they found the cow
next morning in a forty acre lot."
"Ha, Ha. Ha!" roared the guests,
laughing till the tears ran down
their cheeks but not at the story.

over the Oregon territory, no move bad
been mane toward reaching the coast,
and particularlv'tli Tillamook country,
which is regarded the richest of the
stretch from tha Columbia river south
to Humboldt Pay.
Keporta from time to time of the al
leged purchase of I lie Astoria A Colum
bia Uiver railroad t the Hill interests,
which finally culminated in the sale,
were other reasons signed for Harri-
man's desire to tap Western Oregon in
that locality, and since the success of

ansureJ from the manner in which
construction has wn cameo, on, anu
that no expense M tanj spared to get

opinion.
In rebuttal of the popular assumption
is the denial of Mr- 1-Vtle, who asserts
emphatically that Harriman has not
one penny invested in the company,
either as a first hoUcr of the bonds or
any of tho stock. When asked for an
explanation of the presence of O. K. A
X. equipment on le roa.i and the build
in of a connection t Hillsboro by the
Southern Pacific. Mr. Iytle made the
following statement:
MR. LYTI-B EXPLAINS IT.

when the orJor w placed with him,
I understood the c were soon sold to
him br the Oregon bort Line. But il
that is any reason !y Mr. Harriman it
interested in tbe roan, whv is It not
equally true that Mr. Mill has a share,
when it is known tnsi uie tlrst locomo-

"Regarding tii connection between
the Southern 1 '"'"lc "' faclBc
Kailway A Navigation Company at
liillsboro, it i '"own fact that
arrangements t " connection were
started bv the oCcial ol the Portland,
Nehalem A Tilln"J"k' which corpora
tion later disorgnni'1 and I pnrchased
the right of way '"r distance of Un
miles from lli!"",,r"- I tie Southern
Pacific was Meed to provide a connec-
- 1
tion, because ' covers that
point. Ho influence was necessary to
get iu Therefor. ' has no significance
as relating to lr- "larriman having
holdings in tbe P. ' X-
"As to the money, that is furnished
by the 1'nion Tr,,,t Company, ol San
Francieco. Io PI, ol that state
mant, I can refef n.Tone who is Inter
este.1 to the record ol Multnomah,
Washington, Ti'k and Columbia
counUee, wherein i shown the filing o(
a mortgage in the sum ol t.'i.OUl.lVO, to
which the Pacific Kailway A Navigation
Company and the I'niou Trust Cum
paor are parties. The mortgage we
tiled after construction bad breu started
on the line, and tbe first work, '.'0 wiles,
was pushed with money from my per
sonal account.
"Now, as to who bas tiie boud sat
present, is a matter in which I am not
concerning myself, nor do I care. Tbe
bond are on the open market to be
bought by anyone having the price.
Perhaps Haiiltuau, Hill, Morgan, Rock
efeller or Uould have them. I do not
know.
"If Mr. Harriman has taken the
bond from the Union Trust Company it
would make no difference. The Union
Trust Company has obligated itself to
furnish the money, and it is the busi.
nest of its ollicials where they sell the
bonds to reimburse themselves. The
stock is in my name, and no one else
bas an interest in it further than those
who are member of the board of direc
tors, from which the executive otlicers
are alio elected.
"The fact that the Southern Pacific
ba a connection with our line mean
that road will get the business of haul
ing products of the Tillamook country
and intermediate territory until such
time a other road are built from Port
land to Hlllsboro, when it ia probable
the buaine will be divided. The
Southern Pacific would naturally be
pleased to ihoulder the expense of build
ing tbe connection in order to secure the
haul on that etuff.
"At tha same time it was possible for
the P. It. A N to connect with the
Northern Pacific at Scappoose, and
when the entire system is completed
such a relationship will undoubtedly ex
ist, for we will have deliveries to make
to both Hoe and if they can be expedit
ed by way of Scappoose, it is to our in
terest to form a connection.
"Tbe coast country ia not any richer
today than it wa when the Portland,
Xehalem A Tillamook interest attempt
ad to tap it, and yet it ia not laid Mr.
Harriman ha the bond and it i hi
money that I building the road. He
doe not own it and will not operate it.
That I certain. I cannot lathom the
reaentinent against Mr. Harriman.
"For the past few years a hue and
cry ba been carried on that Mr. Harri
man would do nothing for the develop
ment ol the state. He has been accused
ol drawing millions from Oregon traffic
and putting none back In tin shajie of
new work. Now. if he see fit to build
new line under tbe direction ol other,
for example, the Pacific Kailway A Nav
igation Company, why should the rest
dent ol Oregon object? His money will
go a far a any other, and I don't un
derstand the antagonism. What we
want in Oregon is more railroads. It is
immaterial who build them, o long as
the isolated region are given proper
transportation facilities.
"One reason why it is' assumed I am
acting for Mr. Harriman is because he
purchased the bond of the Columbia
Southern after it had been demonstrat
ed the line wa bound to prove profit
able.. The firt 27 mile of that under
taking were built with money furnished
bv a number of person. Subscription
ranged a high as $1XM), and it wa on
ly by the hardest effort that enough
wa ecnred to complete it to the 27-mile
point. Some experienced, reilroader
declared the road would never pay, and
they tried to how the Central Oregon
country could not furnish uliicient traf
fic to bring dividends.
"Mr. Harriman purchased the bond
after the 27 mile were in ojeration.
