A. Druse, Sec’y| 
Creedmoor. 
THE matter as to whether Creedmoor will be abandor 
as a rifle range, now devoted to the use of the Natio 
Guard of New York is reaching an acute stage. G 
Hughes has ordered that a board be appointed to c 
sider the merits of the periodical complaints which 
made in conjunction with rifle practice on the range, < 
to investigate the possibility of establishing, for mil 
use, a rifle range elsewhere in the vicinity of Grea 
New York. The members of the board are Maj.-G 
Charles F. Roe, Adjt.-Gen. Henry, Lieut.-Col. N. 
Thurston,: Inspector of Small Arms Practice and O 
nance Officer Major Edward B. Brush, Seventy-first R 
iment, and Capt. William H. Palmer, Seventy-first Re 
ment, 
The complaints have been numerous and loud that 
stray bullets from the range during rifle practice, t¢ 
serious degree, endanger the lives and properties | 
adjacent dwellers. Ji the complaints are found to 
just, a remedy should be immediately forthcoming. 

BETTER UTILIZATION OF YELLOW PI] 
“In fifteen or twenty years, at the present ri 
of cutting, the supply of the longleaf yellow p 
of ‘the South, one of America’s most useful for 
trees, will be nearly exhausted,” say the expe 
of the United States Forest Service. If thi 
pine forests are wiped out one of the Sout 
important industries will die—the production 
the so-called naval stores. 
The lumber of the Southern yellow pine brit 
$15 to $35 per thousand feet, its turpentine 
cents per gallon, its rosin from $4.35 to $6). 
per 280 pounds, and its pitch $3.25 per : 
pounds. All of these prices are gradually beco 
ing higher and higher on account of the increas|_ 
demand and the scarcity of the products. F 
merly turpentine could be purchased for 
cents a gallon. Now 56 cents must be paid) 
wholesale, and the consumer of gallon lots v 
pay at times as high as $r. If 
In the face of these fast increasing pric| 
people are still found who say that there is :| 
an inexhaustible supply of yellow pine in {4| 
South, and that all talk about a famine is 1| 
warranted. Such statements are not justified 
conditions, and the yellow pine lumbering 
dustry will soon be in the face of a serious sho} 
age unless decided changes are made in 1 
present methods, and unless valuable produ) 
now going to waste are utilized. The longk 
pine is a slow-growing tree and does not ma| 
timber with anywhere near the rapidity that 
is being cut. The situation calls for making 1 
-very best use of the present supply. 
There are at present in the woods of the Sot) 
vast quantities of pine logs and tall stumps 1} 
as a result of careless lumbering in the pa! 
This material is rich in turpentine and cot| 
be made to yield from ten to fifteen gallons | 
refined spirits per cord. Besides this, there | 
a great waste at the sawmills in the form 
slabs, edgings and sawdust, all of which mi 
have a value, but at present is, for the most pa 
simply burned to get it out of the way. In fa 
not more than 50 per cent. of the tree as 
stands in the forest comes to the market in 1 
form of valuable materials. 
In the year 1906 the reported cut of Southe 
yellow pine was some twelve billion board fe
