AT THE METHODIST CHURCH.

The largest audience of the season was
 pres ent at our church, last Sunday even- ing. Among those present were several strangers, but, for some reason our min ister, Rev Mir Nelson, did not put in an appearance. It wae very fortunate for
 us that c. A. Tomlinson, leader of the New Preston Fill choir and his organist, Mrs George H. Couch, were present, for they, with Miss Hattie Couch, very kind- ly entertained the audience with some good singing, which was duly appreciat- ed and very much enjoyed by all pres ent. Had they not been present, we probably would have had no service, but as It turned out, we were all pleased and grarificd with the musical service. Mrs George Couch is in constant demand as

KEEP THE CARS OFF MAIN STREET.

It is said that the General Assembly passed an act making it obligatory to decide by special town meeting as to the route of the electric road. The ques- tion naturally comes, which street will be best for the greatest number of per sons for this route. The main street IS used more than any road in the town. Hardly minute in the day from sun- rise to sunset and long after when there are not teams driving along it. The daily papers are constantly recording terrible accidents by electric cars, in streets and roads much less frequented than is the main street. The mafa street has also fine macadamized road which has cost the public large sum of mon ey. This road bed cannot be disturbed without it's great injury and practical destruction, as was shown under similar circumstances in Stratford, when thefr new road was disturbed for putting down the tracks. The main street is one England and is credit to the whole town. Especially do the persons living along it desc the thanks of all fol
 keeping it in such fine condition. Il
 is in effect public park. But it is not
 question of what the persons living or
 the street want. It is what is best fol : the greatest number of citizens. If an : other route can be found equally shor
 and convenient, is it best to endange
 the lives of all who use horses, and spoi
 the expensive road bed which has beel
 such comfort to all, especially to thos
 who do heavy teaming ?-I Teamster.

SAD ACCIDENT TO MRS BOOTH. Quite a ser ious accident befell Mrs Ira Booth about 1l.30 a. m., on Tuesday. | She started to drive with dinners for the men that were having at the Center.

in addressing the iron and steel institute
today at the annual meeting. said that the
year ls9e had been n of the worst ever
known in iron M steel industries. They
are still greatly depressed. aud the outlook
is gloomy. The production of pig iron has
fallen off tDo. oO0 tons. and steel rails are In
the worst condition. The total falling off
of exports of metals and machinery, as
compared with 1901. amounts TO e.. 600, 900.
The market is now s~wamped. and there is
not enough work for half the country's
steel production power.

pressed the opinion that there were signs

done anything reasonable will be accept
able, although if the business is in the
hands of an assignee, an unnecessary ex-
pense will naturally be incurred. and in
the amount realized will be

There has been a disposition on the part
of some Of the creditors to prevent an
amicable settlement, believing that their
interests would suffer If IN other course
was pursued. But the time has now come
for an understanding and some arrange

ing. 1t is earnestly hoped by thousands
Of residents in this community that the

the members OF the firm. but its employees.
The monthly pay roll amounted to several

amounted TO $3.50, O00, the largest in Idaho.

Organize New Associafion.
TACOMA. May o4-fSpecial. An the
long distance car shippers OF the North
west met here this afternoon and evening
and organized a Car and Lumber Shippers
Association for the purpose OF securing q
uniformity in grades and price of lan-
Der shipped in car loads. c. +. White, OF
Cosmopolis, was elected president; W. II.
Hanson, Of Tacoma, vice president, and
John b. Denny. of Seattle, secretary. The
mills represented were:
The Tacoma MIL Company and St Paul and
Tacoma Mill Company. OF Tacoma: western
Mill Com pany, Fremont Mil Company aud
Alien a Nelson Mill Company, of seattle: Sc
atco Manufacturing Company. OF Bucoda: Buck
ley Lumber Company, OF Buckley: West Side
Mill Company. OF Olympia: trays Harbor Com
mercial Company. OF Cosnaopolis. aud the North
western Lumaer Company, Of HoQuian.
Much difficulty has been experienced as
a result Of no uniformity in the quality of
lumber sold and prices asked. Some mills
have shipped superior and inferior grades
under various names. thus resulting In
confusion and q misunderstanding among
the buyers. The object Of the new associ-
alton is not to make any marked changes
bl BViNCS VI VIuC Nh0 ~
but for the purpose OF secur-
ing uniformity of prices and grades
and increasing sales. though the price on
lumber over :hirty-two feet long may be
increased 80 cents a thousand. The basis
for ::grad;ng is the grades fixed by the
Northwestern Lumbermen's Association
last winter. That association did not fix
prices, and as a result nearly all the mills
had different prices for the same grade of
lumber.
A new price list was considered and
adopted. So far looring-ceiling remains
at SIS for No. 1 and $l3 for No. 9. Laths
were fixed at $1.G5 for 500 pounds. Clear
surfaced fir. IL and 20 inches wide. was in
creased from $13 and $15. respectively. to
$14 and SIC. One inch thick surfaced fir
was also increased 81 a thousand.
In flooring, Nos. l. ? and 3. six inches wide,
were fixed at SIG. 80. $3.50 and 50, a reduc-
ton of 81 I $3.50 a thousand. B grsde
box boards were increased 81 a thousand,
and in beaded ceiling q reduction was
made from SIS to $13 for Nos. / and 2 to SIC
and $12. An adjourned meeting will be
held at $50 O'Clock tomorrow in the Office
Of the st. Pau and Tacoma Lumber Com
pany.
