In reviewing the lumber market,
the Lumberman's Gazette of last
Saturday says:
The only change to report in the
condition of the lumber market
since our last issue, is that there
are large number of buyers in
the valley from east and west, who
seem more inclined to buy than at
any time this season. This is es-
pecially so with those from the
west, where an active demand has
sprung up for lumber of all kinds,
Our latest advices from Chicago
show an active demand, while deal
ers are firm in their prices. This
is not so in the east. The demand
is light and dealers do not as yet
feel encouraged to advance the
price sufficiently to warrant them
in replenishing their now depleted
stocks at the prices asked by man
ufacturers. We do not, however
see any reason why manufacturers
should sell at prices lower thar
those now demanded. While there
will undoubtedly be large mum
Der of logs put into the streams b!
rail, unless we get very heavy rains
IL will be utterly impossible fol
them to reach the mills this season
as the water in many of the steam'
is now so low as to preclude nj
possibility Of driving. The wealth
err is clear. and there are no indi.
cations of having enough rain &c

Fire.

Shortly after midnight Monday
night, a fire was discovered in the
second story Of the dwelling of w.
J. Edwards, on Chisholm street,
and the fire alarm soon brought
ont both steamers, which arrived
and commenced duty in time to
prevent the fire from spreading to
the rear portion of the building.

Greens should be properly boiled; the
water should be soft. and tablespoon
ful of salt added to q large sized pot

when the green's are thrown in. 1t
should be kept boiling until they are
done, which can be told by their sink

then they should be skinned out as
quickly as possible into a colander, so
that all the water will run out. Press
them with a small plate, and then
turn upon platter; add large piece
