LUMBER GOES UP.
shortage Causes an Advance all
Through the Northwest.

Through the Northwest.
The ARGUS of last Monday contained
the report of meeting Of the northwest
ern lumber manufacturers at st. Paul, at.
tended by the leading firms of the upper
Mississippi valley, when q discussion of
trade prospects developed the fact that
there was large shortage in the lumber
output as compared with last year-per-
haps thousand million feet of lumber.
This was caused by the burning up of
300, 600, 900 feet of lumber, and the hang
ing up of $40, OO0, 900 feet on the Wiscon-
sin, Black, and Chippewa rivers. A COM
mittee was appointed representing the
leading lumber manufactures of the
northwest, Mr.. Weyerhauser being the
member from this city, Messrs. Cable and
Lindsay from Davenport, and Mr.. Gould
from Moline, for the purpose of consid-
ering the ACCESSIBILITY OF raising the prices
of lumber throughout the northwest
This committee met in st. Paul Thursday
and decided TO recommend raise, the re-
port being as follows:
To the Lumbermen's Your
committee. appointed TO consider the adj
visibility of advancing the price of lum>
Der, would respectfully report that hav-
ing fully considered and discussed the
subject referred to, they recommend that
the price Of all grades of lumber below
first fencing be advanced 81 per thous-
amid. the same to take effect on Monday,
Aug. 49, That this advance is on the
S11 rate, that is, the Minneapolis and St
Paul selling price of common dimension
lumber. Each locality. in making its
price list, must take into account the diff
ferent prices of freight rates. The rea,
son for this is owing TO the marked cost
of production. The present price does
not give an adequate return upon the
amount Of capital involved
There has been an increase in the price
of stumpage, also in taxes and the extra
expense of b andling by reason of extreme
low water, also shortage of 81 900. 100,
coo feet against the product of 1885, on
the Mississippi and its tributaries. In
view of these facts the committee
unanimously recommend this advance as
above, and that it should be strictly ad-
hered to by all engaged in the industry.
The following places report their short
age! Memo monee river districts. 150.>
0o0,000 feet; Duluth district. 10000, 900
feet; ST. Croix, Chippewa, and Black river
districts, including the upper districts,
$50 o00, 900 feet; the Wisconsin and tribu.
tary districts, 125, 000,0 900 feet. The short
age of Minneapolis is included in the
estimate on the upper district shortage.
Duluth total cut, 70.000,0Oo feet, local
consumption, 50.000.000 feet, with a
shortage of 30000,00 feet as compared
with last year Menomouee district re-
ports a shortage of 115.0o0,oo0 feet.
While the shortage reports are coming in
from all sections, reports FROM all sources
show that the demand has increased over
100, 900, 900 feet during the past year
A letter has been received from Chicago
showing that there was less lumber on
hand than year ago and less than since
1891. but the July sales there, were 10,~
900, 900 feet ahead of those in 1885.

BADLY BEATEN.
Charles Biixt Brutality Assaults 8
Little Girl and Her Mother.

The old Shamrock house on Twenty
first street between Second and Third
avenues, has long had notoriety in
which it has but few rivals in the city
1t has perhaps figured in more police
court scrapes than any other house in
Rock Island, and during one of the many
trials that have found origin 10 that
house, lawyer once aDtly said it must
be located on the evil ones half acre.
But of all the rows which have dstin-
guished the Shamrock house, there are
none with so much shame and brutality
connected, as the facts leading up to the
arrest of Charles BIixt last night will
probably show.
1t seems there had been trouble brew
ing between the Fahey and BliXt families,
tenants in the Shamrock house for some
time, and the result was trial before
Justice Bennett yesterday, in which Mrs.
Ellen Fahey and her little daughter
Bridget were charged by Mrs. Catharine
Blixt with assault. The case. however,
was dismissed But the second and
most disgraceful chapter was started at
7 O'Clock last evening, when Charles
BIixt, meeting the little ten year old girl,
Bridget Fahey, in the yard, struck
her in the stomach and abdo-
men, until she is today unable
to leave the bed, and there is possibil.
ity of the injuries she received proving
fatal When the chid's mother, Mrs.
Fahey interfered, Biixt fell upon her aud
beat her upon the forehead aud shoulders,
infcting several painful bruises.
Blixt was arrested later in the evening,
upon q warrant sworn out by Justice
HAYES. and will remain in the city prison
until the little girl is in condition to ap
pear in court 1t may prove very ser
ious case against Blixt, as the
physicians have advised the most precau.
tious care of her, and il the facts are as
reported BIixt is deserving of severe
punishment.
