The Chamber ot Commerce wishes
to eliminate this condition and bring

Elks Locker For Macon
The action of the Elks Club In Ma
con In their decision to establlvh n
locker club In that city, under the
prohibitive tax Imposed by that elty,
does not appeal to most people as the
best thing or the right one. It has
been the Impression among many
classes of people that the Elks are a
let of booze grafters from thti word
go. Their reputation on account of
theso propensities to have a good
time and mako time fly merrily
along, has suffered In many Instances
It Is a (act that In some Instances
they have overstepped the bounds of
proprietary and their members are
the first and foremost to condemn
this aetlon. The principles cf the
order when fulfilled do not la the
slightest countenance or call for tuck
actions. The Elks In Thomatvill*

THE DRAIN UPON THE FORK8TH
Since 1880 the sources of lumber
•upply have undergone remarkable
changes, The first change was In the
regions from which the principal
kinds of lumber were produced, and
this was followed by the substitution
of other kinds of wood In their
places. Neither the centers of the
lumber Industry nor the leading
classes of wood are the same as they
were twenty-five years sgo. In 1880
nine states—Michigan, Pennsylvania
Wisconsin, New York, Texas, Arkan
sas, Mississippi, Louisiana and Wash-
lngton—produced 52.8 per cent, or
more than ball of the total lumber
production of the United State*.
1805 these state* produced 51.5 per
cent, prectlcally the same proportion
but the change* which have taken
place In the output of Individual
states are very striking. Michigan,
for Instance, cut 23 per cent of the
total In 1880 and hut 6.5 per cent In
190$: Louisiana cut 0.7 per cent ot
the total In 1880 and 7.5 per cent
I 1)05; Washington furnished but
0.9 per cent of the lumber production
of 1880 and 11.5 per cent of that of
1908. The cutting out of the vir
gin timber In the north and east has
been followed by Increasing drains
upon tha forest resources of the
south and west
Despite these conditions the
•meant ot timber required has In
creased year by year. 1
