SHIPPING SHINGLES EAST.
Increasing Market for Sound Product
Whera nm, Ioso

mere LuHlDefmcn LOScs
The shipments of shingles from points on the
Lake Shore road to the East are steadily inereas-
ing, the total for November being about 200 car
loads from Ballard, Sedro. snohomish, Getchell,
Snoqualmie Woodinville and points on the Se
attic & Northern railroad. E. W. Ruff, the gen.
eral freight and passenger agent, says that this
is probably larger total of east-bound shipments
than could be shown by the Cascade and Pacific
divisions of the Northern Pacific road ombined
Most of these shingles go to Missouri river
points, but one shipment went to Newport
News, Va, in the very heart OF the district where
cypress shingles, reputed to be the best in the
country, are produced. The industry is ex-
tending on the Lake Shore road, for several firms
contemplate the erection of mills between
sedro and Nooksack, where there is one of the
best belts of cedar in Washington, though much
OF the land is unsurveyed
elf the lumbermen would kiln-dry their lum-
Der as the shinglemen do with shingles" said
Mr. Ruff, ''they would make such a saving in
freight rates as would easily let them into the
Eastern markets.
Inquiry among lumbermen on this point
elected the following statements: Fir lumber
weighs three pounds to the cubic foot when
green and one and one-half to two pounds when
dry, and green cedar weighs four to four aud
three-quarters pounds and two and one-half
pounds when dry. Adopting the lesser weight
for green cedar 1000 feet would weigh 1900
pounds, while drying would reduce its weight
to . 800 pounds. The rate being 55 cents per 100
pounds to Missouri river points, the freight on
1000 feet of green cedar would be So and on
1000 feet of dry cedar $3.50 so that by drying
the producer would save 1928 per 1000 feet. To
dry lumber it needs one years seasoning at an
expense Of a cheap shed and the interest on the
cost of production, or kiln capable

NEEDED LEGISLATION.
Baking Powder Bill Passed by the Min
nesota senate.


The recent newspaper discussion of the
dangerous qualities of ammonia comes from the
alarming increase of its use in baking powders.
People who absorb it in small quantities from
day to day suffer from slow ammonia poisoning
TAKEN internally IN sufficient quantities it eats
away the eoatings OF the stomach ana intestines
and causes death. Slow ammonia poisoning
produces various forms of stomach trouble
Not one woman in ten thousand would use an
ammonia baking powder ii she knew it, Such
powders not only undermine the health, but
ammonia imparts sallow and blotched COM
plexion.
Following is the bill recently passed by the
Minnesota Senate. It's the danger signal which
the law throws out for the protection of the peo-
pie:
A BILL FOR AN ACT TO REGULATE THE TRAFFIC IN
BAKING POWDER.
Section Amy person who shall knowingly
sell or procure the sale, or offer for sale of any
package or can OF Baking Powder, containing
any Ammonia in IT, not distinctly, legibly aud
durably branded, stamped or marked IN con-
spicuous place with the words in the English
language This Baking Powder contains Am
monia' in letters OF great plea, any letters
equivalent thereto in length shall he guilty of
misdemeanor, and punished by fine not less
than 40 nor more than $50: shall be confined in
the County Jail not less than ten or more than
twenty days or by both fine and Imprisonment
at the discretion of the court
Section 1.-The sale or offer for sale of the
substance mentioned in the foregoing section in
packages not stamped. marked, branded or la
beled as therein required, shall be prima-facie
evidence OF knowledge OF the character OF said
substance on the part of the person so selling or
Offering Tor sale and his employer.
Section 3.This Act shall be in force on and
alter its passage.
NoTE-An incident occurred in the house
when the senate bill came up for passage, in
reference 10 an amendment proposed by Mr.. Di-
ment This was opposed by several members.
Mr.. Feig said that If the bill rs II came from the
senate was all right then the amendment wa.
all wrong. The amendment compelling the
printing of the word Ammonia on the label
only affected the Royal Baking Powder, and nc
wonder they felt the senate bill was blow al

The Oratorio Ger cation"

The coming performance of the oratorio of
the Creation, on December . is in its way an
event unparalleled in musical circles in Seattle,
IL being the first oratorio that will be produced
in this city, and, perhaps. in the state. While
great works like the Messiah Israel in
Egypt" "Judas Macoabaeus," the Creation"
etc, are frequently to be heard in the East, il is
quite new thing for far Western city TO pro-
ducs anything on as elaborate and complete
scale as this promises to be. The chorus OF 100
voices will be properly seated on raised tiers,
with the soloists in front, aud the orchestra be-
low. The orchestra itself promises to be I'M
usually good, being the best Obtainsble for
money, aud no expense has been spared i'll any
direction in order To have every part as excel
lent aud complete possible. AS a musical
education the Creation" is perhaps uneQualled
in its way, and has the great merit of simple
majesty there being only few choruses having
any contrapuutal Celebrations. and the moral
grandeur of the great masters conception is
simply overpowering. Studious and frequent
rehearsing has brought the chorus to I'M
usual degree of promptness, and the public may
look with confidence for splendid rendition.

Or I've seen her in the morning
Passing by my cottage door,
with her little ones around her.
sne was kind, but she was poor
let she seemed to be contented
On what others valued not;
For she had no stately mansion,
But hoyei was her lot.
Much often had to marvel
Ger the way she moved around
10 support her dozen children,
AS their daily food she found.
BAD II was the morn we missed her
Did her absence deplore?
es, my tears flowed fast unbidden,
As searched from door to door.
But aias! no more she'll gather
by the sunsets fading glow
All her little ones around her
no are running To and fro.

Having murder in his eye
Hath Informed me that ne cooked her
