Present wastes in lumber production
are enormous. Take the case of yel
low pine, which now heads tbe list in
the volume of annual out In 1907 it
ia estimated tbat only one-half of all
tbe yellow pine out during tbe season
waa used, and tbat the other half,
amounting to 8,000,000 cords, wbb
wasted. Suoh waste ia typical. Mr.
R. A. Long, in his address on "Forest
Conservation" at the Conferenoe of
Governors last spring, pointed out tbat
20 per cent of the yellow pine was
simply left in the woods a waste
wbioh represents the timber growing
on 800,000 acres.

THE VALUE OF THE NEWSPAPER
Kugono surprised tbe people of this
entire country lust year by raising a
great advertising fund and puying a
salary ot $5,000 auuually for an ex
pert. Up to last Saturday night there
The press bureau of the Alaska-Yu-
kon-Paoiflo Exposition sends out
monthly about four columns of stuff to
eaoh country paper, expecting the same
to bo published for the benoflt of
Seuttle. Tbe dear editor is told tbat
the matter is free and won't cost him
cent to publish it. If the A.-Y.-P.
E. wants to do business iu a legitimate
way and advertise their show this pa
per will send a rate card. Otherwise
do not send any more oopy for tho
waste basket.
John Henniker Heatou has been
praised iu England because of the suc

between Great Britain and the United
Eaading tbe newspaper is as inti
mate a part of our every day life as
sleeping aud eating. It is a rare per
son woo does not at least glanoe over
his daily or weekly paper, and to tbe
great majority of people it ia tbe only
avenue open to tbeir minds accessible
to those who have things to sell. The
peculiar strength whiob is all bis
own is well put by a recent writer in
the following words: "The newspaper
carries suggestion into tbe family cir
cie at leisure moments iu parlor or
library, where no salesman is ever per
mitted to enter." It ia in closer touch
witb and exerts a greater influence in
tbe borne than any other printed tbing.
To start witb ; there are in tbe older
communities a vast number of people
who have inherited the oontinnanoe of
tbe paper which their parents read
It is as real to them as "proofs of
holy writ." To praotioally all others,
it is tbeir own choice. The intelli
gence of the world's doings is gleaned
iroin its pages. Tbat wnicn many
deem their own judgment, aa related
to current topios, ia merely a reflection
of what they have read in their borne
paper. What reaches them for tbe
first time in today's issue, in a week
or a day later, has become their belief
and knowledge. And now tbat I
remind you of it, you have a friend or
neighbor, whose conversation ia largely
made up of what he has read in the
day's paper. He does not add any new
thought to it, either, or indeed any
new words, except perhaps tbe three
"They do say." Of almost equal
value to tbe advertisers, in my judg
ment, is the distributing faotor of the
oewspaper, for after all distribution
is tbe most important detail of adver
tising and tbe one wbicb sbonld com
mand your constant attention.
To most people, all other than news
paper reading is more or less of an
effort. Because suoh reading can be
deferred, it is. No other printed mat
ter except, of course, the weekly,
monthly, and other periodicals, has
the potent quality of quiok aud com
plete distribution. Tbe reading of it
can uot be put off even if we wish to
do so. Tbe newspaper in its field, has
done mentally what the electric street
car has done physically for tbe people.
Like tbe car, itis a hmry-up affair.
