There has been no talk of Char

There has been no talk of "hard
times" in Washington for many
years, and the prospect is improv-
ing all over the country. So ex-
cellent an authority as Bradstrect's
atiirms that "some years have
elapsed since the stock market pre-.
sented such a strong appearance
and snch decided outlook for in
creased speculative activity
This same conservativejournal gives
several causes for the evident bet
terment of the market, including
the heavy crops and consequent in,
crease of freight traffic as one, the
decided improvement in railroad
methods as another, and lastly the
long continued period of calm in
speculation which must now at
last naturally soon be followed by
a period of activity upon the first
opportunity. The better days to-
ward which everything in the bust
ness world points seem as Brad

Puget Sound Timber Lands.
Henry Bucey in 7acoma Journal

Henry Bucey in Tacoma Journal.
The spruce also grows abundant
ly in certain sections of the Sound
country on certain lands, reaching
enormous size and height. This
lumber does not find now the de-
mand that the fir and cedar does,
yet the day will soon come when
all good spruce timber will be Gag
erly sought after as it is our best
lumbar for box purposes and such
Ike Tbs pl7e Of this section is
of rather an Inferior class when
compared with Gr and cedar but
there is bat little Of it found. 1t
is said that there is considerable
white pine on high land of the
Cascade mountains, but it is not
available at present. IN the same
lands are found silver fir which
make lumber of q quality between
the cedar and yellow fir, being not
SO coarse as the fir nor as fine
grained as the cedar. On the bet
ter class OF land will be found the
alder, maple and ash. Alder can
be found in great quantities and is
valuable timber when manutac-
featured, the lumber when dressed
and stained resembles cherry, and
il fine timber for furnishing and
inside finishing; but this timber is
being destroyed rapidly, as it grows
on the best land and is being cut
down and burned by the settlers,
and the stumps rot ont in q few
years after it is cut. Ash and ma
pie grow on similar land to the al
der and is being destroyed rapidly
in clearing land. Maple is called
the Oregon maple, thousands OF
logs are being bHrnt which if man
uiactured would be worth from $50
TO 500 each, as they contain. the
beautiful curley and birds eye
grain and are the choicest Of tim
Der Tor engineering work. II APP
pears to be crime TO destroy such
timber. Ash in this section is
good, and considerable quantities
are found i'll certain localities
Cottonwood is not very plentiful
and is found along streams in oc-
casional places only. Oak is gen
orally scrubby tree, and but little
use has been made OF the timber
which is found plentifully only it
certain :. locations. Hemlock is
found in small bodies only; this
timber is OF little value. There is
probably no greater forest Of
heavy timber to be found in tie
United States than here on Puget
Sound, and the fact Of it's being sc
available shoald make it Of great
value.

An indifferent house of almos

An indifferent house Of almost
any kind in the western country.
is called a shack. We suppose
that this name is derived from
the homely coverings for his cabin
usually resorted to by the first
settler in the forest. Before the
arrival Of the saw mill and the
shlngle mill, ordinary slabs are
riven oat as substitute for shin
giles and to these are given the
name of ''shake." Bnt what the
seller and inspector OF logs under
stands by the term "shake" is p
log which is SO detective that when
the saw is applied to cut it into
lumber, it is found to be slivered
and will, therefore, not make GOOD
lumber of any kind. Another pe.
culiar expression in vogue anono
the loggers and millmen is s'conk.''
This term is applied to logs that
contain rotten knots, although til e
remainder OF the log may be sound.
