THE sHINoLE INDUSTRY
Large Increase in the Capacity of What
com County Plants

Large Increase in the Capacity of What
com County Plants
In addition to the large number OF
shingle mills recently put in operation
there are many more under way whose
output will soon be added to the already
large quantity Of cedar shingles which
the county is producing for the East
ern market.
One company, that of the Stavey,
Lewis d Walker Co., has sold machin-
cry during the past three months capa-
bic Of saving 100000 shingle per day,
and still the work goes on. The de-
mand appears TO be on the increase i'm
the East, and the coming summer will
see large addition made to our already
immense shingle manufacturing indus
try.
Several plants which are to be equip
ped at once are now being provided
with outfits, and shingle men are as
thick in our city as real estate specula-
| tors were year ago. The new mills
which have bought machinery aud
will be prepar to saw shingles within
few weeks include Mcdaniel d
Senor's mill at Licking, which is to be
of "a capacity Of 100000 per day; Brown
d Parker's mill at Acme, with capac-
ity Of OF $4,000; Simmons q Sons ON
Squalicum creek with capacity of
200, 1000; johnson d Campbell's mill on
the Seattle, Lake Shore Il Eastern with
capacity of 100000. Woodin Bros,
Of this city are now at work on the
necessary buildings for the addition of
a shingle plant to their already com
plete mill, and within a few days will
have the machinery in position to saw
100000 per day.
There is no fear Of an overproduction
and a consequent weak market in the
East as the demand for Washington
cedar is such that more Of it will be
needed as soon as the Eastern market
becomes better acquainted with the
product of this state Pine shingles
have been largely used for the want Of
anything better, and as the supply OF
cedar in this state is at present beyond
calculation, there appears to be enough
TO supply the Eastern market for many
wears.

The Great Northern's transcontinen-
tai line is now without a gap east of
the state of Washington. Tracklayers
working west from Kalispel met the
crew working east from Sand Point
Thursday morning, closing up 437
miles of the Pacific extension. This
completes the Great Northern railroad
from st. Paul to the Pend d'Oreille
river, at Albany Falls. Work between
that point and Spokane has been de-
layed by lack Of material, which can
now be brought out over the cornpanys
own line.
1t has been estimated that 5000, ,OOO
feet Of timber will be used i'm the Great
Northern bridges between Spokane
aud the summit of the Cascades. OF
this amount l,0OO,0OO will be put into
the bridge work at the Columbia.
Considerable work will have to be
done at the bluffs along the Columbia.
About 1900 men are now working on
the Great Northern grades between the
Sound and the mountains. 1t is eX-
pected that steel for the western end

A report from Port Angeles says: f.
T. Thomas, signal service officer at this
place, committed suicide Thursday
morning by shooting himself. The
deed was done with 44-calibre revol-
yer. The bullet entered about the
middle Of the forehead and came out
near the lett ear. He lived about half
an hour after the shooting.
Mr.. Thomas had been unwell for
about three months and had been sus-
tanning himself ON stimulants for some
time. Domestic troubles also largely
contributed to the tragedy. His wife
applied for divorce three or four days
ago, and the case was called for 10
O'Clock this morning. This act of his
wife's preyed on his mind, and in con-
versatiOu he would continually refer to
ii. 1t undoubtedly unbalanced his
mind. There is no question that he
deliberately planned the deed. lie left
his office work in perfect order, having
taken an observation at 9 o'clock and
prepared his thermometer and reports
to the minutest detail.
Mr.. Thomas was born i'm Grafton, w.
Va, thirty. eight years ago, and had
been in the employ of the signal service
sixteen years. He was married in New
York city eight years ago, and three
children were the fruits of ths union,
of whom two boys are alive. Insanity
runs in the family, an aunt and uncle
having died in an asylum, and his
mother also gave unmistakable signs
of insanity before her death.

TO MANUFACTURE BRICK
Alsop's Proposition Discussed
by Chamber of Commerce
Trustees
Prof. Newberry's Lecture on
Bugology--Signal Flags
Hoisted
Capt. Jack Crawford Impaled
on Col. Will Visscher's
Proboscls

A special meeting of the trustees of
the Chamber Of Commerce was held
yesterday afternoon at the Office of
Frank J. Hamilton for the purpose of
considering the adyisability of brick
manufacturing proposition made by
Joe Alsop. The meeting was attended
by President A. II. Clarke, NJ. c. Nc
Dougall, Frank J. Hamilton, T. w.
Gillette and H. l.. Dickinson.
Mr.. Alsop proposes to put in at once
plant for manufacturing brick to cost
not less than $4,000 if he can get u
bonus of $4,000 in money or lands. The
projected enterprise is to be located on
tract of land on Chuckanut creek,
near the Fairhaven q Southern rail
road track, about two miles out from
the center Of the city. An abundance
of a superior quality Of clay has been
found, and Mr.. Alsop has been expert
menting with it for some time. Many
tests Of it have been made, always with
the most gratifying results. Mr.. Alsop,
if his proposition is accepted, will put
in his plant at once and have it conf
pleted in time to furnish material for
the extensive sewer building now in
progress on the Bay.
The trustees, after discussing the
proposition, decided to refer it to the
manufacturing committee Of the
Chamber.
