America in the business Of supplying oil

produced 24,O0O,0Oo barrels during the

as much as the older developed fields in
Russia produced during the entire past

LUMBER NOTES.

The loggers are hopeful of compare
lively busy season. The Mack camp on
the Little Hoquiam expects to run all
winter
The shipments OF shingles east over the
Great Northern railway last month
amounted to 500 cars, and this month as
many more will be shipped.
The schooners American Girl and San
Beunayentura are loading lumber at the
Weatherwax mill, and the Helen N.
Kimball and Charles r. Wilson are at
Wilson Bros. & Co.'S mill.
The dishonest single mill man is
working nearly as great hardship on
the trade as the hard times. By false
grading he is not only guilty of theft but
also brings discrcd;t upon the honest
manufacturer. Such practices ought to
be stopped.
Captain John Goldman, of New York,
was recent visitor to Tacoma. He is
we'll known in the northwest as the
author of a book ON free ships. Regard
ing the law prohibiting foreign bottoms
from coming into this country, Captain
Goldman says he believes it would be a
good proposition to bring the steel frames
OF ships to the Sound as ballast in wheat
ships. The frames could be set up and
then fir used for the woodwork. The
captain says our fir is as good for ship
timber as the teak used in England
West Coast Lumberman.
The Puget Sound Lumberman gives
several reasons for the improvement Of
the cargo trade, among which are the
recent mining discoveries in Coolgardie,
Western Australia, together with the
good wool crops, making money easier
and increasing the demand for Pacific
northwest lumber in that country. In
South America the different republics are
adopting the gold basis, and financial
affairs are improving, and the fact that
the annual wars have not materialized is
attracting foreign capital. Europe is also
taking more lumber from this coast, and
the indications POINT to a still better de-
mand.

From Elma Eagle.

From Ema Eagle.
A full train OF fifteen cars loaded with
lumber and shingles from the mill on the
branch and from Cosmopolis left this
station yesterday afternoon.
The lumber and single business is
looking up in this locality. Ten cars were
taken up the branch to be loaded at the
shingle mills, and the Reynolds Il Ray
Company are receiving many orders for
their fine cedar siding.
The people of South Union are an en-
terprising class. At their own expense,
with a little help from Elma, they are
building bridge $50 feet long OH the
county road across the Cloquallum.
This is more than should be required

was pauper it would be all right; but

bridges and could do SO at the general
expense, and ought TO do So

How is this for examination? "After
ironing a sack fiat, it is IS inches wide
and So inches long, how much grain will
it hold?" This is one OF the questions
asked at the teachers examinations the
other day. Is it any wonder that the
average school maa gets married and
leaves the school room, when such fool
questions as this determine whether they
are fitted to teach or not.
If the Almighty keeps a blacklist OF
microscopic souls, Geo. M. Pullman's

to be considered. 1t may be said that
the strike caused all this suffering, but
the investigating committee seems to be
getting evidence that the strike was per.
fectly justified.

From Washington Economist:
Misrepresentation goes to great lengths
in politics and we wish to set one matter
right. 1t has been claimed that Chas.
Fuller has left the Peoples party and
therefore refused the nomination for state
senator on our ticket, and also that he
had joined prohibition club. We have
authority for saying that he is still pop
uiist, that he is not a member Of a prohi-
btion club, and that he declined the NOM
nation because he did not desire office.
Prof. Eldridge Wheeler is the owner of
q relic OF Indian days, that he found under

about eighteen inches long, one end OF

handle. 1t is formidable looking weapon.
Mr.. Wheeler also has one of three implc-
ments made of yew wood and shaped like
a boomerang. They were found under a
standing tree which has recently bct~,
grubbed up, and must have been there
for centuries.

Tho Peter and Paul West performance
Saturday evening was toerable good eX-
hibition OF egerdemain and nothing more.
How anyone can believe that the spirits
of departed friends could have anything
to do with such fakirs passeth under
standing.
The papers are advertising a spruce
board 10 feet wide and 20 long as Il part
of Ocosta's exhibit at the Interstate
Fair. Ocosta makes no such claim.
While there are numerous spruce trees
in this vicinity from which such board
might be cut, there is no saw mill in the
state that could cut it. The mistake has
no doubt come from knowledge of the
fact that Ocosta has section Of a spruce
log 10 feet in diameter which will be
sent to the fair.

A terrible accident occurred in Frank

and the lives OF thirty-seven miners were
snulfed out by the terrible black damp.
A fire started in one OF the breasts, and
the miners not realizing their danger,
made no haste to escape, but the alarm
of fire being given, the big fan, which
furnishes fresh air and also draft, was
stopped to prevent the spread of the fire,
when the deadly gas did its work in a
moment. Had the men taken warning,
or the fan not been stopped, doubtless
every one might have escaped. The
origin Of the fire is supposed to have been
incendiary.

restricted to the use OF certain streets,
which are for the most part SO wretched-

almost impossible. No person under the

allowed in the streets. Another order
