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.

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 I we j g h S but 40 to 45 per cent.

I was staggered. “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 volume than ever. So is the Mohawk and so is the Connecticut. Even the fish left the lower part of the Sa¬ vannah river but they’re trying to do something with that water now. i Another <iueer thing is that Christ0 ' pher Columbus’ son, Fernando, who crossed the ocean with him, was the . first man to start the question of forests causing rainfall, by his ob-w * 1 servations of the wealth of i vegeta tion on the island of Jamaica.”—New4‘ York Sun. 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, during which time they ask public recognition be given to the service rendered by the press. Although the idea originally was for all papers whether large or small, ** * s niore appropriate for the small publications printed in the town? ^ 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, * nr r a dollar u ldr and a,lu a a half na “> he Mves (rives his nis readers a faithful account of the af fairs of the communty for - fifty-two we<? ks. ^ oes ^ 5'ith a sympathy 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. -Antlers, Oak,, American.
