LAUNCH TROPIC
HARDWOODS
William Roy Hale And
Dealing In Mahogany. Cedar
And Other Valuable Woods
Mr. William Roy Hale, brother
Mayor R. D. Hale, of Fort Valley, is
president of the Tropical Hardwoods
Company, with headquarters in New
York City. The September issue of
the Lumberman’s Review contains
the following Rketch of the company
and its prospects, and the develop¬
ment which is taking place in mar¬
keting the valuable lumber of the
tropics. It says:
A great deal of favorable comment
is being beard in the lumber trade
regarding the successful launching
of the Tropical Hardwoods Com¬
pany, which seems destined to be an
important factor in the mahogany
and cedar fields.
This new organization, of which
William R. Hale is president, has well
appointed offices in the Manufac¬
turers Trust Company Building, 1819
Broadway, Columbus Circle, New
York, and is already very active in
operating its vast hardwood holdings
in tropical American countries. It
i* understood that officials of the
company are closely allied with im¬
portant political, financial and gov¬
ernmental lenders in various sections
Of the tropics, and the company’s j
connections constitute a vast network j
of co-operative energy and influence, j
already calculated to put them in the
forefront as regards forestry opera-!
tions and bringing their valuable
products to market. |
William R. Hale, the president of,
the company, in a recent interview |
Mid:
"The tropical Hardwoods Company, I
.
while concentrating mahogany and its cedar, efforts is by large- no j
ly on
means confining its operations to j
these two woods, for among other |
very valuable timbers which they,
control may be listed Ebony, Roble,
Dak, Yellow Pine, Rosewood, Bari,
Ocu, Jabi, Palo de Marie, Gateado,
Dyewoods nnd Tepezuchil, as well as
large stands of the famous Chicle
trees from the sap of which chewing
gum is made.
“The mahogany produced by the
company is the excedingly valuable i
and desirable species known through¬
out the world as Tabasean mahoga
nay, and comes from the states of
Tabasco, Chapas and Campeche, in
Mexico. One tract of this mahogany 1
upon which the company holds con
cessions is forty miles long by twen¬
ty-five miles wide and contains ap¬
proximately 640,000 acres or is about
equal in size to the entire state of
Rhode Island. Other large tracts are
controlled in various sections, mostly
in Mexico, the acquisition of these
being due principally to the well I
, known quality and high standing in
the trade of Mexican timbers.
“The timber on concessions held
by this company is calculated today
to have a value of more than $70,
000,000. Sales connections have been
established in New York, Boston,
Liverpool, England, and Barcelona,
Spain, and the company’s entire out
put for two years ahead is already
contracted for or awaiting signature.

awaking, after slumbering for cen¬

boundaries, and finds other nations
stepping ahead and passing Mexico
in trade and commerce, without any¬
where near equalling Mexico in

with a stable government, intelli¬

there are manifold.

' Remarks From Three Men
“How many leaves do you think
a tree has?” asked the man who had
read it all up, stopping his friend in
the park. “Of course you don’t know,
Some birches have 200,000, and each
leaf has 100,000 mouths. I know of
a sixty-year-old beach that had 35,
000 leaves and a thirty-five-year-old
one that had only 3,000. These 35,
000 leaves dried, weighed only ten
pounds, and the 3,000 dried, only
three-quarters of a pound. But they
do tremendous work in a season. Dur
ing a spring and summer birches and
lindens have been found to exhale 600
or 700 pounds of water per pound of
dry leaves, the ash tree, about 500;
beeches, 400; and oaks 250. The coni
fers give out about 100 pounds a tree.
To stagger you still more, an acre
of beech forest of, say 500 trees,
would exhale about 2,000,000 pounds.
“And the funniest part of it all to
me is that the water in a tree, or the
moisture, . really . to
i 1 amounts more
; than half ,u„ the weight of the tree, Or _
from 55 to 60 per cent while the wood

eight off Lake Michigan, eighteen off
Lake Erie and twenty-seven off Lake

“Then I found that deforestation
as we call it, has robbed the Vistula ,
river of twenty-six inches of water,
I .the magnificent Rhine of twenty
i eight inches, and the beautiful blue
Danube of fifty-five inches. Let me
hit you nearer home. The Hudson has
been called a drowned river because
the sea so encroaches upon it. But
you’re drowning it more by your de¬
forestation, and you'd better hurry
up with these Adironduck lands. The
salt water now, they say, goes up
to Hasting. The Schuylkill is less in

FINALLY, THE EDITOR
The home town newspaper is to be
recognized—at last. The governors
[ °®' man y states have designated a cer
ta * n wee ^ as "Home Paper Week,

Although the idea originally was
for all papers whether large or small,

an<i villages, and which exist largely
through the personal enthusiasm and
underpaid editor. In spite of the fact
that the small-town editor is a better
business man than he was twentv
‘
years ago, he is still far from being
a P lu tocrat. For the sum of a dollar, *

which runs like a stream of melody
through the harsh tumult of small¬
town existence. Yet, if he overlooks
a new baby or a birthday party in
which a subscriber is interested the
editor has to make a five-dollar
sales talk to keep from losing a cus
tomer -
A good way to celebrate Home Pa
per Week would be for the kickers to
get out the paper, while the editor
retired to the sacred precincts of his 'y
own sanctum, there to contemplate
upon the frailties and foibles of an
unrepentant and an ungrateful world.
