ern road between Lowell and Snohomish-
and the mill began Tuesday to cut the
lumber. As stated in last weeks issue
the number of piles required will be about
1900. but the estimate for the amount OF
lumber has been increased 10000 feet,
making 100000. Mr.. Smith delivers the
material on the water in RATS and booms,
and Shepard & Henry haul it to the line
of the road where needed. which. in most
places, is about one mile from the river.
There are now four camps between Sno-
honnish and Lowell, the nearest to the
latter place being about two miles distant.
The tedious task of clearing the right-of-
way has not yet been completed, but will
have progressed sufficiently within week
to permit the grading force to take up the
work Then a large army of laborers will
be employed"

RAUM AND HIS FEES.
Congressman Cooper Attacks
the Pension Bureau.
THE SPEAKER CHECKS HIM.
Mine-Owner Stewart Again Assafls tho
Admjnfstration-The House Passes
an Appropriation Bill.

WASHINGTON Cry, April 12.-Cooper OF
Indiana today made statement before the
House pension investigation committee.
He declared that he was not Responsible
for and knew nothing about the action OF
his clerk, Hersey. in taking fees Tor IN
formation furnished to outside pension
attorneys Jersey had been recon-
mended as competent man for the place,
and had been employed as such. Com
missioner Raum, however, sought to have
all pension business done by Washington
City attorneys who were indorsers of his
notes. This, he said, was much more
harmful debauchery OF the public service
than Hersey's.
Raum knew of Hersey's doings last
September, but had done everything in his
power to have Hersey bribed through his
(Raum's) spies and informers IN two or
three states, in the hope that he might
entrap witness.
It was false that he Cooper told Nor
gan that Hersey would work for him for
pay, and witness denied that he ever
asked or accepted a cent for services grow
ing out of his connection with public
affairs. Cooper then referred to the charge
that he authorized Maring and Slusher to
print signatures on thousands OF congress
sional slips, and said Maring came to him
and said he desired to use witness name
in calling up cases of "the boys" Witness
knew nothing of the pension laws at that
time, and on Maring's representation that
it was usual thing, and on exhibition OF
calls signed by Senator Turpie he gave
consent, but with the understanding that
the privilege was to be used only for
soldiers in witness district. Learning
afterward that Maring was calling up cases
from all over the country, he wrote to Tan
ner that he expressly limited the privilege
to the soldiers of his district. Raum had
either destroyed or suppressed the whole
of this correspondence. If it had been
produced Raum's criticism would have
been answered in advance. In regard to
the affidavit of David L. Git, which Raum
had submitted, to the effect that Commits
sioner Black threw 5000 witness slips in
the waste basket, Cooper said he did not
become congressman until Black went out
of office.
Cooper said Raum was guilty of de-
liberate falsehood in calling attention to
Hersey's use of witness name on call
slips, and saying he made no discovery
that Hersey used any other members
names when the very papers he
filed showed five other members names.
Witness submitted letters between himself
and Commissioner Tanner showing that
he sent sample slip to Tanner asking if
it would be proper for him to give attor-
neys permission to use them. The COM
missioner replied most assurediy not.
The next letter was one from Cooper
directing Maring and Slusher to discon-
tinue the use OF the slips.

Steadily Growing in the East.

Demand for Washington Product II
Steadily Growing in the East.
j. r. Croker, of Chicago, president OF
the Washington Cedar Single Company,
which has its yards and mill at New
Whatcom, is stopping at the Northern
hotel. Mr.. Croker has been in the real
estate and banking business at Chicago for
a number of years, and this is his first
venture in shingle milling. 81 found, said
he yesterday, "that number of my friends
were going into this mill company, and
since there seemed chance to make
money, went in also. We have plant
that is capable of turning out $4,000
shingles day, though our average output
will not be over 10000, or about three car
loads day. Since the market is steadily
extending, we shall have no trouble in
disposing of our product. Pittsburgh
parties. for example, have been negotiat-
ing for 25,000,0 900 shingles, and dealers as
far East as Albany are beginning to
inquire about the Washington cedar
shingles"

AID FROM ALL SIDES.
Army Generals to Urge Lake
Washington Canal.
A MUCH DESIRED PROJECT.
Gibbon and Miles Write to Chamber
of Commerce-PIan for Start
ing Tannery.

At yesterdays meeting of the trustees
of the Chamber of Commerce letters were
read from General John Gibbon and Cen
eral Nelson A. Miles, who promised to
lend their aid in securing the appropria-
ton for the Lake Washington ship canal.
General Gibbon said:
need, 1 think, scarcely assure you that VIII
very cheerfuliy do anything in my power 10 ala
in this muc desired project l have requested
Senator Squire to send me copy OF his DILL ana
on my return TO Washington City early next
month will see him and take great satisfaction
in giving any aid possible
General Miles wrote:
Should the measure be undertaken by the
government, the people OF the state, or by ooin
in Joint action, 1t would undoubtedly be OF great
value to the commerce OF that section OF coun-
try In opening an extensive area Of rich mineral
and agricultural country to water communica-
ton. ana IT would in many ways be OF benefit to
the general government 1t would afford most
admirable harbor of refuge and repair for all
vessels of commerce and naval construction in
deep fresh waters.
L. d. Bradeen appeared before the board
to secure cooperation of the chamber IN
establishing a tannery. He said that at
present his firm could sell from 700 to 800
sides of sole leather month, and the de-
mand might be materially increased. The
cost of raw material was low, and COM
pany with $4,000 capital could expect
profitable returns on the investment. He
had already secured subscriptions for
S3S, 600, but he wanted the $4,000 more.
He thought payments on stock should be
made as follows: Twenty-Five per cent. on
the organization of the company, % per
cent in three months and the resi- at the
discretion of the directors. The matter
was referred to the mercantile committee.
A letter from Rev. 7. II. Boyd called at

seal talent. Musical critics will remem-
Der him as the leading support of the late
Emma Abbott. In addition to his being
the possessor of lovely tenor voice, he
has a fine stage presence and great dra-
matte ability, especially fitting him for
such roles as Turiddu in "Cavalleria Rus

LISBON, Oct. 2S.- The Anchor Line
steamship Roupania, Capt. Young,

After few hours Of the first clear
