LUMBER CUT
VERY HEAVY
Cut Increased 34 Per Cent Over
1908 and 10 Per Cent Over 1907
Many Laths and Shingles Were
Cut.
SALTSM. Nov. S. Sheriff Minto
and Chief oX Police Gibson aro still
groping hi the dark for tho slayers
of J. E. Roborts, who was murdered
near this city on Novomber 2, and
state today tjiat they have no clew
or suspicion to work upon. Chief
of Polico Gibson says that during his
many years In office ho has never
been confronted with a caso so mys
terious as this ono.
Chtof Gibson has been working
day and night on tho problem and
has followed out lead after lead to
find each dwlndlo off to nothing.
Shorlff Mlnto Is also exerting ovory
effort In an attempt to discover some
clow, but so far has mot with no
suuecss.
Relatives of tho murdered man aro
very anxious that tho slayers bo ap
prehended and punished and aro giv
ing all the asslstanco possible. The
theory that Roberts received a decoy
letter Is still maintained, but tho
evldonco Indicates that tho missive,
If once In existence, was destroyed
or stolen by tho guilty porsons. It Is
tho .belief of tho officers that when
Roberts was shot tho lottor was re
moved from his person.

"WASHINGTON, D. C, Nov. 8.
Tho lumber cut in the United States
during the calendar year 1909 was
44,585,000,000 feet, board measure,
as against 33,224,000,000 feet in
1908, and 40,250,000,000 feet iu
1907. This was an increnso of 34.2
por cent over 1908, and 10.8 per cent
over 1907. The output of lath and
shingles during 1909 was 3,712,000,
000 and 14,945,000,000, respective
ly. The incrcaso in tho production
of lath in 1909 over 1908 was 24.3
por cent and over 1907 1.3 per cent,
while tho corresponding increases
v for shingles were 23.4 per cent and
20.4 per cent.
This information appears in n
preliminary comparative report cov
ering 1909, 1908 and 1007, which
was transmitted today to Consus
Director Durnnd by Chiof Statisti
cian William Jr. Stouart, under
whoso supervision it wn$ propared
by J. E. Wholchel, export special
agent of tho division of manutac
turos. In co-oporation with the for
ost service of tho dopartmont of ag
riculture, tho bureau of tho census
ainiiinlly collects and publishes sta
tistics pertaining to the group of
lumber and timber industries.
The substantial incrcaso ovor the
two preceding yoan. was genoral, fow
of tho individual stntes showing a
docrensed cut. The futures for 1908
nnd 1007 we;o colleetod by mail, and,
while including the commercial mills
of tho country, did not .in many
eases cover the small neighborhood
mill'j whoso output was consumed lo
ur.llv. The relatively large increase
in tho number of mill reporting, for
1909, .togothor with tho increase in
the out for that year, was due large
ly to the fact that the field forco nf
tho census bureau, which was ougag
od in gnthoring statistics of all
brniichod of manufacture throughout
tho United Stntos, soeured returns'
from prfiotioally every sawmill in
operation during the whole or auv
part of luOO, without regard to it-,
size, mid iu this way there have been
included many small mills not cov
orod by the mail eensus iu the pre
ceding years.
Output iu Oregon.
Tho Pacific wast states, with an
output 2S.fl paf Cant larger in 1000
than in 1Q0S, nad 2.2 per cent groat
or than in 1907, nevertheless con
tributed a smaller proportion of the
total out of the count rv iu 1900 thau
in oithor of tho preceding years, the
per oont for 1909 boing 15.5, for
1908, 1C.2, and for 1907, 10.8. Doug

tho three years, Uie production from
this species constituting (18.1 per

and 0S.S per cent in 1909. It Con
tributed 79.2 por cunt of the total

fljThero is perhaps more Juggling with tho word Circu
lation than with any other In tho language. Soma
puDllcntlous count each man In tho cntuposlng, press
and mailing rooms and poatotflco. then allow flvo
members in each family to whloh tho paper goes for
.each copy printed, and call tbet circulation. Others send out thousands of sample
copies and call that circulation. Still others print and stack away thrco-quartora
or their editions, and that is andtfcor form of circulation. But paid circulation
tho kind that costs real money to the reader Is tru'j circulation. No man places
any particular valuo on tho thing for which ho does not pay, and this Is espec
ially true of papors and magazines. Nlne-tontha of tho samples go unread Into tho
wasto papor baskot. Whorcln Is tho value to tho advertiser? On tho other hand
It Is a psychological fact that a man will read through n mngazlno for which ho
hns paid, oven though It bo neither Interesting nor Instructive,' on tho principle thnt
io Is getting his money's worth. Horr lies tho especial valuo to tho advertiser In
every paid subscription.'
fflln n'.i lines of buslnoss tho best proof that anything
possesses vlrtuo In llsolf Is Its continuous salo to tho
isamo persons year aftor year. If an artlclo Is unsatis
factory to tho buying public a now Hold must con
stantly bo sought for Its oxploltntlon and tho old
nbandoncd. Tho nowspapor with a circulation mado
up largely of thoso who have been subscribers for years Is extremely strong through
this following. It shows that Its energies aro exerted on Its editorial end, and tho
peoplo rend it tocauso thoy appreciate It. TliTs makes it tho host of advertising
modlum. Tho newspaper which secures largo numbors of now subscribers ovory
year nnd docs not got renowalB exhibits splendid activity In its subscription, but
not In ltd editorial dopartmont. As an advertising medium It does not comparo with
tho formor, bocauso peoplo placo cpnflrtenco oven In tho ndvortlsomonts of publica

growth of tho Mall Trlbuno la not equnllea by nny othor nowspopor nnywhoro In n

near Chicago, sufforlng from a "mon

Tobln Is oxpected to arrlvo In Chi

Mrs. Url Grannie, wlfo of n Chi

tho supposedly dead woman could

noto ovor to tho police It road:
"Dollo Ellmoro, wlfo of Dr. II. II.
OrJppon, is living In a boarding
houso near tho public library In
Hammond, Ind."
Tho noe was unsigned. Mrs. 6ran

as n stylishly gowned woman
emerged. The woman had juit tolo
phonod different nowapnpora that
Dello Ellmoro was In Hammond, but

The police are Inclined to bellovo
that the note is valueless, although
thoy aro Investigating It.
