TO LIME SIIIOGLES Thirty-one Thousand Saw Mils Made Thirty-three Billions of Them. 1S03 PRODUCTION SMALL LUMBER COMPANIES, LIKE EVERY OTHER AMERICAN INDUSTRY, FELT THE EFFECTS' OF THE BUSINESS SCARE. Washington, June 23. During the year . 1908, 31,231 sawmills In : the United States manufactured 33,289, 369,000 feet of lumber, according to a preliminary report Just issued by the bureau of the census. These mills al so cut 12,106,483,000 shingles, and 2,986,684,000 lath. Lumber manufac turing like every other industry, felt the effects of the business depression which began in October, 1907. Consequently the production in 1908 was below : that for the previous year. " In 1907 the cut of 28,850 sawmills was 40,2(6,154,000 feet, the highest production ever recorded.1 Notwithstanding, therefore, that In 1908 reports were received from eight percent more mills than in 1907. the decrease in lumber cut reported by them was slightly over seventeen percent. Washington First. Washington, as for several years past, still ranks first among the states in lumber production, its cut In 1908 being 2,915,928,000 feet-a decrease of 22.8 percent over the cut in 1907. Nearly all the lumber manufactured In Washington Is Douglas fir, the market for which was seriously affected by the panic. Louisiana ranks second, with 2,722,421,000 feet, a decrease of 250,000,000 feet or 8.4 percent over the cat in 1907. Louisiana is first in the production of both yellow' pine and cypress. Cypress is a particularly useful and valuable wood, and apparently, the manufacturers of It did not suffer as severely from dull times as did the manufacturers of yellow pine and Douglas fir. Mississippi was the third state in . lumber production in 1908, with a total of 1,861,016,000 feet a decrease of eleven percent f r6m the cut, In 1907. Arkansas ranked fourth, with 1,656,991.000 feet a decrease of nearly . seventeen percent over the previous year's output, and Wisconsin fifth, , with 1,613,315.000 feet against 2,003,279,000 feet in 1907. In Texas, where the lumber industry Is confined almost exclusively to yellow pine, the falling off was very heavy. The total cut of the state in 1908 was 1,524,008,000 feet a decrease ef 31.6 percent over the cut In 1907. Eight other states manufactured more than one million feet each of lumber last year. In the order of importance they were: Michigan, Oregon, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Alabama, North Carolina and West Virginia. Two Fell Below. ' -California and Maine,' other states which reported more than one million feet each In 1907, went just below that figure in" 1908. The totals fojr a few states were greater in 1908 than In 1907, but; this was chiefly due to the larger number of reports secured POUI feed ai Kerns t Will be at Arlington Hotel, Rich- , mend, Friday, : June 25th, .

IN A DAD WAY." Many a Richmond Reader Will Feel j Grateful for This Infer' mat ion. When your back gives out; Becomes lame, weakor aching; When urinary troubles set in, Tour kidneys are "in a bad way." Doan's Kidney Pills will cure you. Here is local evidence to prove it: Enoch Cromer, 309 N. Fourteenth Street, Richmond, Ind., says: "I have had no need of Doan's Kidney Pills since they cured me of kidney trouble In 1906. In July that year I gave a statement for publication endorsing this remedy and at the present time I do not wish to withdraw anything I then eald. Railroading is very hard on the kidneys and my case was no exception to the rule, as I suffered from kidney complaint for some time. The passages of the kidney secretions were Irregular and painful and I often felt dizzy and weak. Being advised to try Doan's Kidney Pills, I procured a box at A. G. Luken & Co's drug store and their use brought prompt relief. In a short time I was entirely free from the trouble and since then, whenever I rhave heard anyone complaining of bachache or disordered kidneys, I have advised him ' to give Doan's Kidney Pills a trial." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the United States. Remember the name Doan's and take no other. in those states in 1908. In Georgia, for Instance, a particularly close can vass increased the number of mills reporting nearly one-third, while the resulting increase In reports of total production was only six percent. In Massachusetts, 610 mills reported a cut of 384,526,000 feet in 1908 as com pared with a cut of 364,231,000 feet by 518 mills in 1907. In Colorado, 254 mills cut 182,036,000 feet in 1908, while In 1907, 230 mills cut 134,239,000 feet. A particularly large gain in mills reporting was made in Oklahoma. In 1907, 129 mills in that state cut, 140,015,000 feet, while in 1908, 214 mills cut 158,756,000 feet. While there are many very large sawmills in the - United States, the small mills for outnumber the. large ones, and it Is particularly interesting to note how many of these small mills there are in the states which are not now of first rank in lumber production. The statistics -for New York were collected by the forest, fish and game commission of that state, which secured reports from 2.291. mills. In Pennsylvania 2,224 mills reported to the census and in Virginia, 1,937 mills. In North Carolina reports came from 1,740 mills and in Kentucky from 1,530 mills. The number of mills reporting from Tennessee was only forty less than from Kentucky. In West Virginia, Georgia, Missouri, Ohio andH Indiana between 1.000 and and 1,100 mills each were engaged in cutting lumber last year. . The average output per mill was 350.000 feet in New York, and 5.260,000 feet in Louisiana, these two states presenting nearly the extremes of production by small and large mills. Wood: Cut Into Lumber. . Yellow pine, Douglas fir, white pine, oak. hemlock and spruce. In the order named, were the woods cut into lumber in the largest quantity. Yellow pine has ranked first since it surpassed white pine in the later nineties and It is 'still far in the lead. More recently, white pine has also been superseded by Douglas fir, so that now it occupies third place. Washington has been the principal shingle producing state since the use of red cedar shingles : became general, and it supplied three-fifths of the total output of shingles last year. Among the other shingle producing states, Michigan, . Louisiana, Maine, and California were the most important The shingles cut in Michigan and Maine are chiefly of white cedar, those in Louisiana of cypress, and those in California, of redwood. Lath are generally a by-product of lumber manufacture, and are made to some extent from almost every wood that is cut Into lumber. Among the kinds of lath which are most prominent are white pine, Douglas fir, spruce, yellow pine, cypress and hemlock. Hew He Kept His Clothes Dry. Among a large shooting party on a northern grouse moor was a certain elderly professor whose skill with bis gun was hardly equal to the profundity of his Intellect Suddenly a heavy storm of rain came oa, and as there was no shelter on the moor the shooters got thoroughly drenched through. At least, all but one suffered the professor. He had mysteriously disappeared when the Tain came on, and he did not rejoin the party until the sun was shining once more. To the amazement of tbe others the erudite one was as dry as a bone. The others, drenched and disgusted, inquired of him bow it was he had escaped a wetting. "Directly the rain came on," replied the professor, "1 went off by myself, stripped off my clothing and sat on them until the storm was over." London Telegraph. In Bed With a 8nake. , For one thing.
