CHEAP LUMBER.
A Good Cut Made tn ehe Rates
Yesterday.

About two weeks ago it was announced
in these columns that the lumber men
we're intending a cut in the prices of
their wares. BY a mutual agreement
that went into effect yesterday, every de-
scription of building material was re-
duced $3.50 per 1000, laths were ie-
duced 70 cents per 1000, plain shingles
so cents per 1000 and fancy shingles
$3.50 per 1000. A cut was also made in
cement, the new rate readipg 50 cents
cheaper per barrel. The lumber men
say that they have been enabled to
make these reductions on ac-
count of the large number of ships
that have been recently added TO the
coasting trade and the consequent in
crease OF competition. They ssv that u
they can induce the lumber men up
north to reduce their charges they viii
be able to make still further cuts. Prob
ably the effort being made by the Texas
lumber men to establish themselves here
may induce this desired result. but the
Oregon ring is tight one, and will be
hard to break.

AMUSEM ENTS.
Barry ana Fay Next Week mt the
Opera House.

The comedians, Barry and Fay, will
commence weeks engagement Monday
evening at New Turner Hall. They open
in their latest success, McKsnna's Fyira-
tion, piece written by Edgar Sheldon,
and said to be funnier than any of the
comedy pieces Of the present day. The
Dramatic Nets says OF their performance
at the Grand Opera House, Chicago:
Beyond all doubt and emphatically the
very best company that has supported
those versatile comedians, Barry and
Fay, is the one seen at this theater last
week, when amusing and artistic per-
formances were given OF the farcical play,
McKenna's Filtration. Since last wit
messed the play has undergone radical
change for the better. Misses Coe, Keen
and Reimer are clever and pleasing. In
addition to these pretty girls is Daisy
Temple, who is as ninble and graceful as
she is plump and pretty. There is a
good deal Of singing to enliven the enter
tainment, and large audiences we're con-
vulsed with laughter during the week.

"Garibaldi and Italy" The lecture is to
beillustrated by map showing how one

brought into union to form the present
kingdom. lit will no doubt be an inter
esting and instructive view of that in

With reference to the item that ap-

the request of the residents of Vernon
and Central avenues for additional street
car service, Mr.. Gibson, secretary of the
Vernon street line, states that no such
petition as that spoken of was ever pre-

whole story was the result Of an over

THE SOUTH AND THE WEST.

The Chicago Inter Ocean SAYS:
ssThe blizzards of the past werk
have made a lot ofpeople sigh for
the Southern sunshine, oranges,
and green peas."-aes Yg ~ 4
This Is indeed what oil the
Northern papers are saying Just
now, and in viewof the suffering
and loss of life in the West and
Northwest on account of the rigor-l
GUS weather and the frequent and
severe blizzards, the Northern
press cannot but admit that the
South offers greater advantages
tossimu,igrants than the bleak
prailies and treeless plains into
which the immigration is mainly
pouring to-day. The best lands
in the Western States have been
taken up, and the priceis now
too high to invite immigration !;
so that the settlers seeking homes
are compelled to push ON further
westward to country where,
even if they succeed, il will be
only after years of hard work
and at the expense OF much suf-
fering. The facts brought out
by the Western blizzard are not
new, but have only been. empha-
sized and brought more conspicu-
ously before thes people of the
country,sn4aia sdl .a' 'ef
There ale two facts, now SO
evident that more can or do con-
tradict ihcm;-that the Southerr
landsare Infinitely cheaper thar
those ofthc West and the climatt
preferable. 1t is unnecessary t.

(From our Regular correspondent5
WAsnISdroN, Jan. "a, 1883.
During the past week, a rather
impressive scene was witnessed in

tions, stood forth as the champion

ling thepractice of Using money to

fully as refreshing and effective
as was Mr.. Chandler's late effort.
| The New Hampshire extremistwas
discussing the muficipal election
at jackson, Mississippi, with which
Congress has no more toadoWthan
with the election OF a church

The real object of the Republicans
was to provoke a sectional con-
