Further- more it seems, that a general depression, which is apparently expected for the pres- ilestial year, is inluencing the naval stores trade too, and all the other branches of business which are more or less closely united with it. We learn, that the influence of this de- presion is even far reaching enough to still affect the foreign markets, although the crisis of last fall might be considered Seve by this time. It is stated, however, that after an extraordinary boom the building trade in Germany, for instance, is practically at a standstill and that there are reported more failures of builders and contractors and forced sales of half fin- ished buildings than ever before. This mat have, naturally, some influence on the demand for spirits turpentine, because, if dealers in this article do not find an im- mediate outlet for the product, with var- aish and color manufacturers, etc., they will only buy what they need for most urgent requirements and will refrain from laying in great stocks of turpentine. Money is still very scarce and hard to get, which makes buyers additionally careful and circumspect in their operations. These conditions may well prevail and if they do, we understand, that they will bear on the whole situation. What we fal to see, however, is, why those circum- atanees should have caused a falling off In prices, since last year, of more than d a barrel for common grades rosin and from $5 to $10 per barrel for spirits tur- Thee must be other reasons and those, who have followed the market move- marts only a little, will agree with us, that te present conditions are to be attributed to the schemes of the American Naval Company and its allied interests. the first place it is universally ad- mitted that the American Naval Stores Omapany has the power to manipulate the market and, it has been charged that they will use this power for their own advan- tage. They are shipping today thousands of barrels of rosin and spirits turpentine, whish may have been contracted in Janu- ary and February at a moment when the market was forced up by them to a high- er level, so that the present deliveries, at a muek lower market basis, must neces- sarily allow them big profits. It must not be foqotten either, that the American Noval stores Company has used and is in the market as a weapon against fac- t- ar poducers on account of the fact, that there was an amount of spirits tur- pentine tanked away from their reach. That move, taken by the producing end in self-protection, caused the war, a con- test between honest working producers and factors add those interests which, it has beed alleged, are dot afraid to empAty any possible trick aid scheme to win ouit in the contest; The American could not have found other meais to fight the pro- ducers but a continued bear movement and their fight is an easy one, when one con- siders, that even the present state of the markets allows the American to work with profits, although the latter seem to be gained with methods which no other concern would think of employing, be- cause they are unworthy of a concern, built up on the principle of equity and truth. Does not the indictment, which now faces the American Naval Stores Company, plainly state, that they are in the habit of horning rosin and missgaug- ing spirits turpentine-and what do the enormous spreads between the grades "G" and "H" "H" and "I" and "K" signity The truth of the indictment, of course, remains to be proven in court, and thus anyone can understand, that the Ameri- can Naval Stores Company can continue the fight until the law actually steps in, and further, that they do not care and do not need to advance the present market, for their own, immediate benefit. If one stops to consider this feature more closely, one must wonder why and how it is, that factors and producers con- tinue to deal with the American Naval Stores Company and in fact aid them, in- directly of course, in their nefarious prac- tices. Do they still consider them invinci- ble and is it fear which binds the ties be- tween them? It certainly looks that way, because one cannot well imagine that it is a pleasure for either to see the products of their toil fall into yon hands. That the consumers praise the American as a benefactor can be easily understood, because they know that they have to thank the A. N. St. Co. for the present low prices; and the fact, that last year and the year before they were caught mercilessly in the traps of the American with sales for forward delivery-a lot, which might befall them again as soon as in pleases Mr. Shotter to have it happen-cuts little figure with the consumer now, while he gets the products at so extraordinary low prices. It has always been an object of won- der to us that the Consumers continue do- ing business with the American Naval Stores Company. They have all been warn- ed of the practices of this concern and the character of Mr. Shotter, himself, is known to the greater part of them. A con- sumer would boycott at nese, in his pri- vate life, a dealer whose reputation was (Continued on page 6.) Basket Willow Growing. Unique Experiment in Tree Growing in Virginia.

Many other very important considera- tions were included in these experiments, such as the effect of low cutting on the yield and character of the rods and on the vitality of the stools themselves. A care- ful study was made of the proportion of the wood to bark and of the comparative weight of the peeled and drier rods for each variety Special investigation was made with reference to the utilization of willow bark obtained from peeling the rods. It has been shown that the bark of most varieties contains sufficiently large quantities of tannin to make them useful to tanners, and it is hoped by those concerned in making these investi- gations that this enormous waste may be turned to economic use whereby growers may realize additional revenue from the sale of bark. The results of these and other experi- ments will be published by the Forest Service for the beneft of those interested Sin basket willow culture. This publication entitled "Recent Practical Results in Basket Willow Culture," will be available soon for free distribution and will be mailed upon request to the Forester at Washington. The experimental holt at Arlington will be considerably enlarged this year by planting cutting* obtained from Europe. Cuttings of a great many tested varieties of European basket willows have been bought from European growers in order to increase the number suitable for culti- vation in this country.

(A short sketch of NEW STEAMSHIP LINE. Theo. G. Eger Heads New Line to Be Established from New York to Jacksonville. Jacksonville is to have another steam- ship line direct to New York, and Mr. Theodore G. Eger is to be at the head of the new company. This announcement will give general satisfaction to the people, for Mr. Edger is well known to a large number of Flor- idians and he has their confidence and esteem. The announcement that he is to be at the head of the new enterprise will win for it hundreds of friends and pat- rons. For some little time it has been known that negotiations were on foot with the object in view of establishing a direct steamship line between this port and New York. The first public announcement, Journal of Commerce of Tuesday, May 19, and was as follows: "From statements made in usually wel informed quarters, it appears that a new steamship company is in the process of formation to carry on a passenger and freight service between New York and various Southern ports. John W. Gates and other capitalists of prominence are said to be behind the venture. The new company which, it is reported is to have for its head Theodore G. Eger, former general manager and vice president of the Clyde Steamship Company, has been so far advanced in its organization as to have acquired several piers in the North river and to have let the contracts ror the construction of a number of its ves- sels. "According to a story told on Saturday, the piers secured by the company are the old piers No. 27 and No. 28 in the North river, which are to be converted into a single great pier fully seventy feet in width. "Those who claim to be familiar with the facts in the case state that it is noe intention of the company to have an equipment of six modern vessels, three of which will be operated direct to New Or- leans, weekly, and the others semi- weekly to Charleston, S. C., and Jackson- ville, Fla. Mr. Eger, who is to be the president of the company, is at present in Europe, where he is said to be engaged in perfecting further details in connection with the organization of the company. "According to the congressional stat- utes, the six vessels will have to be built in this country, to carry on a coastwise service, and it is suggested that it will probably be the better part of a year be- fore they are completed and ready for op- eration. "Arrangements which have been per- fected by the new company, it is reported, also include the establishment of connec- tions with practically all of the conti- nental railroads, with the exception of the Southern Pacific railroad. "With the exception that the Clyde Line, which has been dominated by Chas. W. Morse financially, does not operate its boats to New Orleans, the other points reached by its service are practically iden- tical with those that the new line will serve. The Clyde company also operates a direct water route line betwew- "'w York city and Boston, and the main points in the South to which its vessels are operated include both Charleston, S. (C, and Jacksonville, Fla., so that the two companies will be brought into direct competition." (Continued from 1st page.) not up to the standard, but here he seems to overlook the fact rather willingly, that Mr. Shotter has been condemned twice al- ready on account of trespassing the laws of this country-ten years ago, when he was heavily fined on account of having marked false gauges of turpentine on tank ears. and only a year ago. because he and some of the other leading men in the pres- ent American Naval Stores companyny had grossly disregarded the Sherman Anti- Trust Law, for which offense the then ex- isting combine was dissolved, un bigger fines than before were imposed on Mr. Shotter and his immediate associates. Still the American Naval Stores Company is considered the biggest firm dealing in naval stores and all let them rule the mar- however, was contained in the New York ket by the manipulations which have unit- THE CLOTHIERS 14 ad II Wed IIIy S. jMk Pem Fi.

The consumers may continue their deal- ings with the American, perhaps owing to a certain negligence which prevets them from divulging the true facts concerning the American Naval Store wmpany, but the producers and fators together should find means to get rid of the iron ist upon them. Not only are they the most inter- ested in a definite defeat of the Ameri- can, but, we might say, they themselves must accept a part of the blame for the condition of things, which would not be what they are, had the producing end opposed the American more vigorously ever since they found themselves oppress- ed. But if the producing end of the indus- try continues to believe the American in- vincible and bows down to them in silent anger, conditions will not change, unless perhaps, the government big stick shall do for them what should have been done be- fore by those most interested. We understand, that it is a very seri- ous undertaking to disregard the Ameri- can Naval Stores Company as a factor in the trade. A single man can hardly suc- ceed, but with united efforts of every man, who has the welfare of the industry at heart, much, in fact, everything can be accomplished. Let factors and producers pull on one string only, let them not sell their products to the American unless they pay such prices, which will allow produc- tion at least on a paying basis and the re- sult will be attained. It will need money and more money, but the united ef- forts will be strong and powerful and if every man does his duty, reduces expenses of production to a minimum in order to avoid any unnecessary expenses, and joins the general uprising against the tyranny of the American, success will finally come. k THE WEEKLY INDUSTRIAL RECORD.

They entered into this vast pomession and began to use it. They did not neen to think much about how they used their coal, or oil, or timber, or water-they would last-and they began to encroach on the supply with freedom and in con- tdense that there would always be plenty. 'Te only word with which they described what they had, when they talked about it, was the word "inexhaustible." Let us see for a moment what the course of development of this young nation was. First of all they needed men and women to settle on the land and bring up chil- dren and have a stake in the country. That was absolutely necessary before they could develop the great nation which some of them saw ahead. As the popula- tion spread there arose a need that great systems of transportation should be built to knit the country together and provide for the interhange of its products. These rairads called for Iron, coal, and timber ia great quantities. Then began an un- preedented demand upon the forests They could not build those transconti- nental railroad lines without millions upon millions of ties cut from the forests of the country; and they could not mine the iron and coal except as the forests gave them the mans of timbering theih mines, trans. porting the ore, and disposing of the fn- Sished product. The whole civilization which they built up was conditioned on nothing like our wealth, nothing like the average happiness of our people can be found elsewhere; and the fundamental reason for this is, on the one mue, cne vast natural resources which we nad at hand, and on the other side the character, ability, and power of our people. Now what have we done with these re- sources which have made us great, and what is the present condition in which this marvelously vigorous nation of ours finds itself? The keynote of our times is "development." Every man from New ork to San Francisco looks to the devel- opment of the natural resources to pro- duce the advantages and the opportuni- ties he wants for his neighbors and his friends. Anyone who questions the wis- dom of any of the methods we are using in bringing that development to pass, be- cause he believes we are making mistakes that will be expensive later on, is in dan- ger of being considered an enemy to pros- perity. He is in danger of having it thought of him that he does not take pride in our great achievements, that he is not a very good American. But in reality it is no sign that a man lacks pride in the United States and the wonder- ful things our people have done in devel- oping this great country because he wants to see the development go on indefinitely. On the contrary, real patriotism and pride in our country make it the first of all duties to see that our nation shall con- tinue to prosper. In sober truth, we have brought ourselves into a condition in which the vehy serious diminution of some of our most necessary resources is upon us. What We Face. Forest reseurces.-A third of the land surface this countr 1 i ill1 iron, coal, and timber. As they developed u v uo VILI ** J - their continent, iecher than any other, ered with what were, all in all, the most from the east coast to the west, new re- magnificent forests of the globe-a million sources became revealed to them, new in- terests took possession of them, and they used the old resources in new ways. In East, the rivers meant to them only means of transportation; in the West they began to see that the river meant first of all crops; that they must put the rivers on the land by irrigation before they could grow wheat, alfalfa, fruits, sugar beets, and other crops that make the West rich. They found that to feed the Vast popula- tion which had grown up in the East they must have the vast ranges of the West to grow mest. They found that the resources of soil and water which produced the wheat, the cotton, and the meat-of iron aad coal, and of timber, together made up the working capital of a great nation, and that the nation could not grow unless it had all of these things. In taking po- session of them our nation used them with square miles of timberland. In the short time, as time counts in the life of nations, we have been here we have all but reached the end of these forests. We thought it unimportant until lately that we have been destroying by fire as much timber as we have used. But we have now reached the point where the growth of our for- ests is but one-third of the annual cut, while we have in store timber enough for only twenty or thirty years at our present rate of use. This wonderful development, which would have been impossible without the cutting of the forests, has brought us where we really face their exhaustion within the present generation. And we use five or six times as much timber per capital as the European nations. A tim- ber famine will touch every man, woman and child in all the land; it will affect the daily life of every one of us; and greater effectiveness, greater energy and yet without consideration, without fore- enterprise, than any other nation had ever cast, and without foresight, we have shown before. Nothing like our growth, placed ourselves, not deliberately but |O*****S**O|****** III*i |II m I$ | 0 I n0 I m n ,': . JOS.

Canada can not supply us, for sue wil seed her timber herself. Siberia can not ' pply us, for the timber is too far from water transportation. South America a net supply us, because the timbers of that vast continent are of a different character from those we use and ill adapted to our need. We must suffer be- euse we have carelessly wasted the for- et, this great fundamental condition of seeses. It is impossible to repair the damage in time to escape suffering, al- though not too late to work hard to re- duce it as much as we can. Mineral, aei ,a natural gas.-But forests only begin the story of our im- paired capital Our anthracite coals are ail to be in danger of exhaustion in fifty years. and our bituminous coals in the beginaltg of the next century; some of our older oil Selds are already exanusz- ed; the natural gas has been wasted, burn- ing n~ht end day in many towns until the supply has failed. Our iron aeposets grew tes each year. Our rages in the West, from which we first drove the buffa- lo to cover them again with cattle and shbp, are capable of supporting but one- half what they could under intelligent managemat, and the price of beef it raised assordingly. Nearly every one of our wonderful resources we have used without reasonable foresight or reasonable are, and as each becomes exhausted a heavier burden of hardship will be laid upon us as a people. Now what is our remedy? The remedy is the perfectly simple one of common sense applied to national affairs as com- man snsen is applied to personal affairs. This i o abtruse or difficult question. We have hitherto as a nation taken the Ss e enorse as did at frst tph young man who eams into possession of his new prop- tty. It is time for a ebange. It is tru that some natural resources raVw t$haelves while others do not. Our iuinm) resources e gone are gone for- eer. It Xay appear, therefore, at first tbhgt that eomervation does not apply to them shes they can be used only once. But this Is for from being me tact. Methods of coal mining, for instance, have beew permitted in this country which take out a the average but half of the coal. Then in a short tim the roof sinks in on Athe other half, which thereafter can never bl mined. Oil and natural gas also have been a are being exploited with great steo sad a though there never could be sa ud to them. The forests we can re- plies at get east and with an interval of mdering. 11s Wute.-Th soil which is wasted from the surface o our farms every year to the amount of a billion tons, making, with the future loss of fertilizing elements arrived away in solution, the heaviest tax the farmer has to pay, may in the course of entries be replaced by the chemical disinteration of the rock; but it is de- eidedly wiser to keep what we have by carefl methods of cultivation. We may very proitably stop putting our farms into streams, to be dug out at great ex- pese through river and harbor appropri- ations. Fertile soil is not wanted in the bed of a stream, and it is wanted on the Surface of the farms and the forest-cov- ered slopes of the mountains. Yet we spend millions upon millions of dollars every year removing from our rivers what ought never to have got into them. Waste Through Piecemeal Planning. Besides exhausting the unrenewable and impairing the renewable resources, we have left unused vast resources which are capable of adding enormously to the wealth of the country. Our streams have been used in the West mainly for irriga- tion and in the East mainly for naviga- tion. It has not occurred to us that a stream is valuable, not merely for one, but for a considerable number of uses; that these uses are not mutually exclu- sive, and that to obtain the full benefit of what the stream can do for us we should plan to develop all its uses together. For example, when the National Government builds dams for navigation on streams, it has often disregarded the possible use, for power, of the water that flows over those dams. Engineers say that many hundred thousand horsepower are going to waste over govern dams in this way. Since a fair price for power, where it is in demand, is from $20 to $80 per horsepower annually, it will be seen that the government has here, developed, yet lying idle, a resource capable, under the right conditions, of adding enormously to the national wealth. So also in develop- ing the western streams for irrigation, in many places irrigation and power might be made to go hand in hand. Danger of Monopoly. If the public does not see to it that the control of water power is kept in the hands of the public, we are certain in the near future to find ourselves in the grip of those who will be able to control, with a monopoly absolutely without par- allel in the past, the raily life of our people. Let us suppose a man in a west- ern town, in a region without coal, rising on a cold morning, a few years hence, when invention and enterprise have brought to pass the things which we can already foresee as coming in the applica- tion of electricity. He turns on the elec- tric light made from water power; his breakfast is cooked on an electric stove heated by the power of the streams; hi morning newspaper is printed on a press moved by electricity from the streams; he goes to his office in a trolley car moved by electricity from the same source. The desk upon which he writes his letters, the merchandise which he sells, the crops which he raises, will have been brought to him or will be taken to market from him in a freight ear moved by electricity. His wife will run her sewing machine or her churn, and factories will turn their shafts and wheels, by the same power. In every activity of his life that man and his family and his neighbors will have to pay toll to those who have been able to monopolize the great motive power of electricity made from water power, if that monopoly is allowed to become estab- lished. Never before in the history of this or any other free country has there existed the possibility of such intimate daily friction between a monopoly sno the life of the average citizen. It has not yet occurred to many of our people that this great power should be conserved for the use of'the public. We have regarded it as a thing to ne given away to any man who would take it. We have carried over our point of view derived from the early conditions when it was a Godsend to have a man come into the country to develop power and we are will- ing to give him anything to induce him to come. We have carried over that point of view into a time when the dread of a monopoly of this kind ought to be in the mind of the average man everywhere, since we are still young." In truth we are That is an instance of a resource neglect- at a critical point in that history. As ed from the point of view of the public. President Roosevelt has said, we are at A New Point of View. the turning of the ways. We may pass But this is a time to consider not one on along the line we have been following, resource but all resources together. Al- exhaust our natural resources, continue ready here and there small associations to let the future take care of itself; or we of citizens have become possessed of cer- mal de the simple, obvious, common- tain facts, and have begun to work at sense thing in the interest of the nation, one gr eatproblem. We have a drainage just as each of us does in his own per- association, whose object is to make hab- sonal affairs. table millions upon millions of acres, now On the way in which we decide to lying waste in swamps all over the coun- try, but capable of supporting in comfort millions of people. We have forestry as- sociations, waterway associations, irriga- tion associations, associations of many kinds touching this problem of conserva- tion at different points, each endeavoring to benefit the common weal along its own line, but each interested only in its own particular piece of the work and unaware that it is attacking the outside, not the heart of the problem. Now a greater thing is opening out in the sight of the people. This problem of the conserva- tion of natural resources is a single ques- tion. Each of these various bodies that have been working at different phases of it must come together on conservation as a common platform. Bu the joining of these units we shall have a mass of intel- ligent, interested, public-spirited citizens anxious to adopt a new point of view about this country of ours. That is the crux of the whole matter- a new point of view about our country. We have been so busy getting rich, devel- oping and growing, so proud of our growth that we have let things go on until some intolerable abuse has driven us to imme- diate action. It is time that we put an end to this kind of opportunism, of mere drifting. We must take the point of view taken by the average prudent business man, or man in any walk of life who has property and is interested in it. What the average man does in his own affairs is to foresee trouble and avoid it if he can. What this nation of ours is doing in this fundamental matter of natural resources is to run right into trouble head down and eyes shut, and so make that trouble inevitable before taking any step to pre- vent it. But it should not take long to reach the stage of national thought where we shall deliberately plan to avoid the difficulties which can be foreseen, if only we can bring together all who have al- ready begun to concern themselves with one or another aspect of the conservation problem. The Problem Before Us. This nation has, on the continent of North America, three and a half million square miles. What shall we do with it? How can we make ourselves and our chil- dren happiest, most vigorous and efficient, and our civilization the highest ana most influential, as we use that splendid heritage? Ought not the nation to under- take to answer that question in the spirit of wisdom, prudence, and foresight ? There is reason to think we are on the verge of doing this very thing. We are on the verge of saying to ourselves: "Let us do the best we can with our natural re- sources; let us find out what we have, how they can best be used, how then can best be conserved. Above all, let us have clearly in mind that the great and funda- mental fact that this nation will not end in the year 1960, or a hundred years after that, or five hundred years after than; that we are just beginning a national his- tory the end of which we can not see, handle this great possession which has been given us, on the turning which we take now, hangs the welfare of those who are to come after us. Whatever sueees we may have in any other line of national endeavor, whether we regulate truts prop- erly, whether we control our great public JOSEPH ZAPF CO Wlbolesale Dealers o a t B r cf ANHLUSEIL-BUSCH St. Louis Lager Boor ILlqWrai, NM Ei Wdlis Writo for IPio Cook Ifnot.

According as we accept or ignore our responsibility as trustees of the nation's welfare, our chil- dren and our children's children for un- counted generations will call us blessed, or will lay their sufferings at our doors. We shall decide whether their lives, on the average, are to be lived in a flourish- ing country, full of all that helps to make men comfortable, happy, strong, and ef- fective, or whether their lives are to be liven in a country like the miserable out- worn regions of the earth which other na- tions before us have posseessed without foresight and turned into hopeless deserts. We are no more exempt from the opera- tion of natural laws than are the people of any other part of the world. When the facts are squarely before us, when the magnitude of the interests at stage is clearly before our people it will surely be decided aright. GUiord Piuehat, Forester U. 8. Dept. Agriculture.

Kopman, of New Orleans, a prominent and learned member and of- ficial of the National Audubon Society, an association with a world-wide reputa- tion, organized for the preservation and cultivation of birds, is a visitor to the city. Prof. Kopman has just completed a tour of inspection of the West Coast. He commenced his inspection at Pensacola and cautiously picked his way down the inlet and bayou dotted coast of Punts Rassa, on the extreme lower end of the State. He traveled mostly by boat, and has many interesting experiences to re- port. He states that he found a half dozen fine colonies of birds along the route he traversed. The birds all seemed attached to whatever island or section they had adopted, and with but little attention could be cultivated and multiplied with surprising results. He made thorough investigations of these colonies of birds and states that it is feasible for the government to estab- lish and maintain reservations. One of the finest reservations he says he ever saw Is located upon what is called Passage or Bird Key in Boga Ceiga bay. This island has been blessed by nature in the matter of formation, in fact it is a most ideal place for birds. The birds that make their homes on this island are 1mm- erous, most of them being herons, sea gulls and terns. The reservation is in charge of Mr. A. N. Pillsbury, Jr., a natural lover of the feathered tribe. Mr. Pillsbury is giving his time and attention to the reservation gratis and takes a great interest in the work he is accomplishing. Mr. Pillsbury told Prof. Kopman that there were over 3,000 birds in the reservation, and the outlook is good for the reservation becom- ing the largest and most important in the country. Prof. Kopman will leave Jacksonville today for New Orleans. Upon arrival home he will begin a series of lectures upon the subject of birds for educational purposes. He will make a similar tour of inspection next season. HALF TONES-ZINC ETCHINGS Illustrating rand Engr~ ving Department or THE FLORIDA TIMES-UNION Splendidly equipped for business.
