In It'ss tlit) 11 20 year* }>?*? p*r eeut of the jiulp ami paper mill* of (hr> coin^ry, mainly those in the Hast, w',1 have practically exhausted their supplier of sprue*, horn lock ami tir? the principal woods from which the paper on wh ch newspapers are printed in made. The annual cutting of these woods in the New England States and New York U a I >pro Mill a l.ls 8,20-,(MK> ivids, and at tills rate the supply will last approxi mately 17 years. The estimated aunail rutting iu the Lake States la a.030,000 cords, iiml if continued will exhaust the supply in that reglou within 18 years, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, aud North Carolina, with their smaller forest resource?, are oven worse off, the annual cutting being calculated at 1,470,000 cbrdn, at which rate the spruce, heuilock and fir wHl last but 10 years. On'y in Alaska, Washington, Oregon, aud CaM fornia are the reserves in uo immediate danger of exhaustion, if the cutting con tinues at the presut rate of 2,218,000 cords a year. These figures, of special in.terest be cause..of the present paper shortage, are included in estimates compiled by the Forest Service of the United States De partment of Agriculture. The duta ac cumulated give addition^ emphasis to the dtMnand for a nation-wide policy that w'll put privately owned forests oil a per manently productive basis and will also result in utilising mill waste for paper making. Even if the country's heni'ock, sprues and lir resource#,, including the vast forests of far-off Alaska,, are lumped to gether. the supply of tt|eee woods will be sufficient to meet the lumber and paper demands for less than three-fourths of a century, assuming that the present rate of cutting continues. At fi st glance it might seem that a national sup ply for three-fourths of a century makes it unnecessary to worry over the lumber question for some time. But, as-already stated, 95 per cent of the pulp and paper mills are located in the East; these are expensive establishments, often costing millions of dollars, and can not be moved conveniently to new locations, nor catt. wood be shipped to them eco nomically from great distances. Conse quently talk of easily utilising the far off reserves is impracticable Unless the present mills are to be scrapped and new ones built nearer the source of supply. Up to 10 years ago the United States was self-suptportfhg with regard to news print, 1>nt within the last decade the consumption has exceeded home' produc tion and promises to do so increasingly. In view of this situation two alternatives present themselves, according to Forest Servioe experts and representatives of large wood-using industries. The coun try must defend increasingly upon Can ada, eventually abandoning many of its own mills, or the Nation's policy with re gard to its private forests must be radi cally changed. Canada has 00 paper and pulp mills which produce approximately 2,100 tons of paper a day. of which 89 per cent is available for export. Of all supplies of paper, wood, and puVp used by the United States about one-third now comes from Canada. Fire Damages Kesidenco. The pretty twelve room dwelling of Mr. Geo R. Oook, of Camden and Tren ton, N. J., located on Oamden Heights, was badly damaged by fire and water early Wednesday morning.

Q. Oarr'.xm, Br, was requested by the gentlemen present who are In terested In this improvement to act ?? ^wkewnau for thetn. This he did, ?nil iu addressing the council be said: Mr, Mayor and Gentlemen of the Coiineil 5 I have been asked to present. a few tacts to you In connection with 'he proportion Jrou have to consider. I Cheerfully do so became In t>ho flr#t piacfc I believe flMa counrfl Is potttj patriotic and inrpartlal and the work of your administration will compare fav orably with any that have proceded it, limit ed finances being duly considere . You are asked, gentlemea, by this rep body of taxpayers to open otrtThe west end of Ru-tledge street* not on'y to relieve traffic congestion on l>e Kalb street but to afford the trade of West W?terec easy access in marketing produce and to do ample justice to the -mmerdal focus of Camden's chief in terest In and around Kutlcdge street we have a number of the largest mer cantile otahMshments. We have the "xpress business, the grcocer portion of *he livery# mule, horse and vehicle mar ket; ninety por ceut of the cotton sol here, seventy-five or more per cent, or -the cotton seed and one hundred per o*nt of all the cotton delivered on the greets must find its way here to bo weighed. ,? , For many years the trend of business on lirood street has been moving steadily no The slight overflow east and Went indicates that the lino fencc has been reached. A reaction has set in an rccent sale values on and around Kut ledge Street Whow the pendulum has be am ,to swing back. It is the logical part of the city for business. Look at your eouwty map and see where your trade oornes from and what portion of | the town it strike? first. Now, gentlemen, tihere has been a disposition to let Word One take care of itself in very many respects. Some Camden wit named "pot liquor, pot I liquor and poverty being rfynonomous tem?. Some of us know full well Uiere is virtue in pot liquor. I am told by the health officer that the health of that section is as good a# the best. M ell, we were given" a black eye when we loot the court bouse but not a much harder, lick then DeKalb street got in the low of A $00,000 hotel in exchange for the poetoffice. Word One has recently re gained the Southern depot and soon to the beautiful fountain. Perhaps in the course of time the many shacks that, mar the beauty of >hc lower Main will be eliminated and with au unselfish, co operative spirit that portion of Cam den that lies south of Rutiedge street will regain some of its former glory and pride. Gentlemen, let me in closing beg you in behalf of this representative body of taxpayers that you take prompt steps to equalize the traffic approaches to the city, til us being fair to commerce, just to all taxpayers and thereby relieving the congestion on DeKolb street by the fairest method possible. We beg to submit a diagram of the propped plan and we are prel*red t? render any reasonable awdatanee you may desire. A very interested and reapeotful hear ing was accorded those who appeared before council; in fact council showed i cooperative spirit in the proposed ex t?>nKion of thia street, for its advan ta*e? are apparent to any one who ha* 'ooked into it. Cit.V cnnncil assured the committee of their approval of the scheme and wi'l Ho what they reasonably can to brin* it to a succrwrftri conclusion To obrain n rirbt of way wfth'aa litt.e friction as no??<tiNe will be the first step, the ex ivnse of which wi'l be borne by t the <uiroontes of this me<a??ure and once this i? settled round? will proceed at once to open up the extenaio?*. It if not the purpose of any one interested in thia deveVvpment of the oJ t>'s interest to work a bnrrVhip noon anv pmix?rty lio'd er over whos* prvrperty it will pass, but to enlift their cooperation.
