RED CEDAR IN CALIFORNIA
Everett Man Has More Orders Than He
Can Fiji Better Than Redwood.

Washington cedar is driving out Cali

Up TO a recent date the electric railway
companies in Southern California have
been using sawed redwood for their poles;
but they are rapidly abandoning i since
their eyes have been turned IN this direc-
ton by q few shipments OF choice cedar
poles to Los Angeles and thereaoouts. F.
H. Folsom. OF Everett. shipped a sample
lot OF poles in August for the Santa Mon
lea line running from Los Angeles TO the
beach. He got them out along the Saoao-
mish river. When he arrived in Los An
geles With them not much notice of them
was taken as they lay scattered about on
odd cars in obscure corners of the South
ern Pacific yard. He made an arrange
ment with the railroad men 10 bring the
cars together in one traineof twenty cars.
and had a lot of photographs taken and
freely distributed. This brought pubic
notice at once: for the poles were bean
ties, and in all the twenty car loads OF
thirty-foot poles there. was not single
knot or biemish
As a result OF this shipment Mr.. Fol-
som, since his return home in August, has
had more orders than he has been able 70
fill. He goes down on the Puebla this
morning TO San Francisco for a vessel to
ship another choice lot or 200 poles which
he has just gotten out on the Skagit and

Strange Experience of Atlantic Ocean
LiDer-Astorian Homeward Bound

Strange Experience of Atlantic Ocean
LiDer-Astorian Homeward Bound.
submarine disturbance in the Atlantic
ocean, midway between England and the
United States, causing quiet sea to rage
and foam in the short space of fifteen
minutes. shaking an ocean liner from
stem TO stern, and happening almost at
the same time as an earthquake in this
country, Is strange coincidence and to
some will sound like the tale of mariner,
but nevertheless it is fact. Frank Spit
tie, young attorney of Astoria, Or, who
has just returned from a four months
visit to England, was in the city yester-
day on his way home and told the story
of the incident He said:
I'VE were out three days from London
derry and sailing along in a comparatively
smooth sea. Every one on board was in
good spirits and seemingly enjoying the
smooth weather. Without a bit of warn
ing the waves began to lash and roar. and
in quicker time than you can tell it the
immense steamer, the Furnessia. of the
Anchor line, was being pitched about like
a cork. The passengers were hurried into
their staterooms and before the disturb
ance subsidized fully thousand out of the
100 on board were sick
Everything was got in readiness for
the worst, but there was no need of prep
aration, as the sea queteci down in a short
time, and for the balance of the trip the
weather was pleasant. When the steamer
arrived in port the captain made inquiries
and found that on September u, the same
day of the disturbance at sea, an earth
quake had shaken up several sections of
the country. He Immediately concluded
that that was the cause OF the mysterious
agitation of the ocean.
Americans on bicycles have taken En-
gland by storm this year. They can be
seen riding all through the country, and
have attracted considerable attention by
their jaunty costumes and general ap-
pearance, Besides the large number OF
cyclers the usual crowd of fashionable
tourists can be seen. Stratford, Shake
speare's birthplace, which has for years
been one of the leading places of interest
to Americans has been somewhat neglect
ed this year, and hotel and inn keepers are
at a loss 10 understand the reason l Wis
tied St Paufs cathedral. Westminster
abbey and other places of note, and every
time met crowds of Americans.
II made a trip 10 the northern coun-
ties and found the people extremely cur
ious about the political outlook in this
country. Most of the WOODEN mills are
situated in this part of England. and the
proprietors. as well as laborers, ask a
great many questions about the Mckinley
bill. They want 10 know if il has any
chance TO again become a law. OF course.
they are all opposed to it. as ii hurts their
