THE PASSING THRONG.

z. A. Woolley, the shingle manufacturer OF
Nooiley, IS guest of the Northern. II under
stand said he, shat some of the shingle mills
are commencing to run low on winter orders,
and the Prospect is that several will have to
shut down for the winter. As for our mill, we
have large number OF winter orders and win
probably run the season through The shngle
industry has been a Godsend TO this state Ii it
had not been for that the number of business
failures would have been very great. There are
ABOUT loo mills In Oregon and Washington, EN-.
ploying ca an average fifty men each. These
people nos only made q market for merchan-
disc, but also for the produce OF the farmers.
When you come to think that every car load of
shingles brings into this country 500 from the
East, and that this money finds its way into all
channels OF trsie, you can in some degree esti-
mate the benefit to the whole state arising from
this one Industry. No the condition of the
money msrket in this region will not allow the
milimen 10 cut during the winter and store
their product In the East q man can borrow At
low rate OF interest up to within 20 per cent.
OF his product but he cannot do it here, and
very few Of the millmen can afford to store up q
whole winters cut Tho Shingle Manufactur-
ers' Association has . meeting tomorrow, when
some measures will probably be taken regard
ing the winters cut"

by the Fopulists two years ago. II the
senator e hen no returned from Europe q few
weeks ago, and he said that he intended to
jump into the Campaign in Kansas aud try 10
redeem that state. He said he was not posted
a. to the situation there. but that ii the Popu.
lists were as well organized as they were two
years age. they wouli give the Repu oiicsns
some trouble. Still he had no douot as to the
result, and thought Kansas would give
duced plurality for Harrison. He also told me

J. T. Cove, the ore buyer, said at the Grand
last night: "Seattle ought 10 do some OF the
smelling Of the ores around this rich mineral
region. The smelling OF ore carries iii It's train
a vast sxeent of other business The cars which
bring ore rom the mining camps must go back
for more ere Railroads generally manage tha:
they SHAH take merchandise and produce in
them on the return trip, and they will be loaded
with these articles 1t the town where the ore is
uuloaded II Is the same way with ships. LUm-

now shipped to Germany aud Omaha"
