READY SEPTEMBER FIFTEENTH I 
Inter-Ocean Hunting Tales 
.. - = EDGAR F. RANDOLPH = 
True Tales of True Sport From New Brunswick to The Rockies 
Mr. Randolph’s volume offers a series of hunting reminiscences that have all 
the charm of the camp-fire tale. “Inter-Ocean Hunting Tales” is not of the stereo¬ 
typed order, a mere catalogue of game slaughter, but a series of delightful narra¬ 
tives in which a vivid word picture of life in the open in various parts of the 
United States and Canada is drawn. The grandeur of the wilderness is well por¬ 
trayed, and hunting incidents are selected not as exploiting thd prowess of the 
author, but because of their real interest. 
Aside from sport there is much that will interest the student of wild life, the 
viewpoint is often new, the stories culled from a varied experience, always fresh, 
while the author shows conslusively that the charm of camp life is no whit lessened 
by the elimination of unnecessary hardship. This unaffected narrative of a true 
sportsman will appeal to every lover of life in the open.

HAS 
LAST YEAR’S LUMBER CUT. 
Washington, Aug. 30.—Figures of the lumber 
cut in 1907 compiled by the Bureau of the 
Census and the Forest Service showed the 
largest total ever reported in the United States, 
exceeding by over 7 per cent, the cut reported 
for 1906, until then the record year. This does 
not necessarily show a larger actual cut than 
in 1906, for the returns obtained last year were 
more complete than ever before. The figures 
themselves disclose some interesting facts. 
In 1007, 28,850 mills made returns, and their 
production was over forty billion feet of lum¬ 
ber. This is believed to include 95 per cent, of 
the actual cut. In 1906, 22,398 mills reported 
about 37^2 billion feet. Since, according to 
these figures, nearly 29 per cent, more mills re¬ 
ported last year than the year before, while the 
increase in production was only a little over 7 
per cent., it might be thought that the amount 
actually manufactured must have been greater 
in the earlier year. This, however, would be a 
too hasty inference, for it is almost wholly 
among mills of small individual output that the 
gain in the number of establishments reporting 
has been made. 
A classification of the returns by States and 
regions throws additional light on the situation. 
Individual changes, as, for example, the re¬ 
markable rise of Texas from eighth to third 
place among the lumber-producing States, are 
doubtless accounted for primarily by the greater 
accuracy of the 1907 figures; but in the majority 
of cases the advances and declines can be traced 
to specific influences. 
Before the year closed the general business 
depression was severely felt in the lumber in¬ 
dustry. It was not, however, the most im¬ 
portant cause of a falling off in the production

THE SUMMER HOME OF TO-MORPQW 
Houseboats and Houseboating 
N' 
ALBERT BRADLEE HUNT 
[OT only the best, but the only practical book for the yearly increasing num¬ 
bers who see in the Houseboat the solution of the great summer problem. 
Deals with a phase of country life as yet little known in this country, but well 
developed in England, which offers boundless possibilities not only to the wealthy, 
but to the family of moderate means in search of a summer home. 
Mr. Hunt has dealt with houseboating from the water up, considering in detail 
various types and classes with full directions for construction and furnishing, and 
practical hints for dealing with the daily problems of the houseboater. He shows 
how at slight expense the acme of summer comfort may be obtained within easy 
reach of the city, and how the houseboat makes change of scene not only possible 
but easy. Special consideration is given power houseboats and auxiliary power 
boats. 
All this is accompanied by copious notes, drawings, builders’ plans and illus¬ 
trations of actual houseboats and houseboat life. Superbly illustrated, heavy paper, 
232 pages.
