Philadelphia to
Get Big Lumber
Terminal, Plan
And now comes Philadelphia
enouncing that it is to , become
"the world's greatest lumber port."
This ambitious claim comes about
as the result of an agreement re
cently reached between the United
States Shipping Hoard and the
Philadelphia Tidwater, Terminal,
whereby a tract on the Delaware
river in South Philadelphia will be
developed as a huge lumber term
inal. The company, of which Har
vey C. Miller is president, stajtea
that it expects to invest several
million dollars in developing this
terminal alonir with remanufaef tir

PARIS, Aug. 22. (p) Recently,
says the Cri De Paris, B tall man.
elegantly dressed, swung himself
upon the platform of a street car in
Bordeaux and took out a cigarette.
His lighter failed to work, where
upon a fellow passenger politely gave
him a light from his own cigarette.
Then the two men entered into con-;
versation on the perennial topic-,
the high cost of living.
"I suppose you are B manufac

"No, I have no business," replied
the oilier. "I have an old house,
which descends from father to son."
"Things are going well?" asked
the workman.
"Why, they might go better," re
plied his vis-a-vis.

"Hearst is consumed by his hatred

D. Waterman, nominee for mayor.
"Smith is determined to unseat
Mayor Hylan and Hearst. A Demo

even Tammany cannot stand for it.
Are we to abandon the city to the

July S. 191S, After citing a general
condition of drouth and the "serious
situation which threatens the de
struction of foresi:i. gnlas and grain
I fields,'' the proclamation orders that
j 'ground must he cleared to mineral
suit uroung all camp nres ; that "no
camp fires shall lie slutted In or near
forest or brush covered lands"; uud
that "no fire shall be left even tem
porarily until It has boon completed
extinguished with water." All burn
lug permits are suspended by this
proclamation and every person going
into the woods is. urged to refrain
from smoking.
"When t found this old poster."
said Mr. Waha, "It occurred to me
that if every person visiting the
woods since that lime hud obeyed
the terms of the proclamation, we
would have saved uiillious of feet of
the Northwest's timber wealth, oh
well as many huudr-.ds of thousands
of dollars In fire fighting money, log

The proclamation, written during
the stress of War lime, sounds a note
which should not bo forgotten nor or

This is the statement that "the for
