 the line of the new railro.id which Sir 

 William \'an Horn and iiis associates are 

 liuililing in Cuba, and we are constantly 

 heini: told of the possiliilities along tlie 

 same line in the Phiiijipines. It is not at 

 ail iniiii'oliahle that within the next five 

 years a mahogany piece of furniture will 

 cost less tlian a piece made from oak. The 

 iliffereiiic in tlie manufacturer's price is 

 now so slight as to place the goods almost 

 on a parity. This difference is undouhtetlly 

 greater in the retail stores, where, as out- 

 lined in these columns recently, many deai- 

 iTs talvc into consideration the selling quali- 

 ties of the goods tiicy offer instead of the

 dressed i)articularly to lumhermen. The 

 puhlication contains three papers, one by 

 the I'lesidcnt of the Tjnited States, who 

 regards forestry as a national problem: 

 one by II. \j. McCormick, president of the 

 Mississippi Valley Lumbermen's Associa- 

 tion, wlio views the iiueslion from the 

 standpoint of the lumliernian, and one 

 from Giffoid Pincliot as a forester, wlio 

 treats of the subject as a business problem 

 ;ilso and explains tlie various ways in 

 whicli liie Bureau of Forestrj- is serving 

 the lumber interests of the country. It is 

 a valualile bulletin and one that will in- 

 Icrcst liiiiilicrnicn generally.
