Mcleod after a s'Stake."

In the United States circuit court
Alexander Mcleod, logger and lum-
herman at Shelton, Mason county,
has sued the Port Blakely Mill COM
pany for $52,S03 damages on three
causes of action and costs. AS first
cause of action Mcleod alleges that
he entered into a contract with the
defendant in December, 1889, whereby
he was to cut timber on defendants
land near Shelton, haul the same to
Puget Sound and there construct the
same into RATS; that the defendant
refused to tow one raft obtaining
$4,000 feet to Port Blakely and that
he was compelled to have the towing
done at cost of S464, which he asks
as damages.
The heavy part of the complaint is
the second cause of action in which
Ne Leod claims that IN August, 1890
he entered into another contract with
the mill company whereby he was to
cut and deliver to the Satsop Railroad
company at camp No. 10 the timber
near Shelton. The plaintiff was to
construct a siding and the defen-
dant t" pay the stumpaGe. Certain
prices were to be paid for cutting the
logs according to length. The con.
tract, it is alleged, is in the defen-
dant's possession. He claims to have
spent $4,000 in building camps, log
ging roads and switch; that he cut
and placed upon the cars 7,S4O, OOC
feet of logs and sent them to Shelton
! that defendant refused to receive the
the LOGS, thereby damaging plaintiff
to the extent of $1,000; that in
November, 1890, defendant violated
the contract by refusing to pay the
freight upon the logs so cut, and the
railroad refused to haul any more
logs; that of a result 100000 feel
of merchantable timber was left stand
ing on the sections described which
plaintiff IF was unable to cut; thereby
causing him to lose profit of $35,
600; that in all he was damaged by
defendants breaking the contract t6
the extent OF SOL, 800.
He asks 1874 in the third cause OF
action, alleging that the defendant
refused in 1891 to receive and pay for
fortysix logs cut for spars in pursu.
ance of the contract, and that as
result he was compelled to sell them
$l176, or 1874 less than the $1,000
which the mill had agreed to paw

Foreign Lumber Shipments.

For the twelve months ending Dec
ember 4ih, 1894, the shipments Of lum
Der from Puget Sound to foreign ports
reached total of S6,l46, $50 feet, val
ued at $769 $50, as compared with
SS,717 ,65S, valued at 1927 1886 in 1898.
and 1l2, 1854 900 feet valued at ii .333.-
1917 in 1892. The ship for the year by
months were: December 1898, 4,673,-
O47 feet; January, 1854, 2,50O,644;
February, l,4l3, 535; March. 4,O14,546;
April, 5,246,01S; May, $500 900; June
6,O1O,0O0; July, 13,492,O 900; August,
S,367 900; September, 9,0S6, 900; Octo-
Der, 12,367 900; November. 1902 600
The comparative figures show de-
cided falling off in the past two wears
which is attributable to the depression
which has existed in Australia and
South American countries. A com
parison By months shows that for the
last hall oi the year the exports were
larger than in either of the two suc
ceedlng years, thus giving promise of
an increased business for the present
season. Comparisons bv countries
show that while Australian shipments
were 100000 less than in 1892 the,
were 100000 greater than in 1893
the principal falling off from 1893
being 100000 to England, 5000 900
to France and a smaller decline in the
shipments to Mexico and Peru.
The countries taking more than two
million feet OF our Iumher in 1894
were: Australia, 26,655, 100 feet: Chill
1908, 600 feet; Hawaii, 1858. 900.

THE City and State, edited by Herbert
Welsh, thinks that Senator Cameron's star
is waning. There can be no doubt of this,
and the announcement that he will not be a
candidate to succeed himself may be looked
for at any time in the near future. The
trusted friends of Quay talk in this strain
and they also intimate that it is not the pur
pose of the old man to help his colleague
They further throw out the suggestion that
Quay, having practically given Cameron his
seat the last time, discharged the political
obligation which he owed his colleague, and
can now drop him without danger of being
charged with ingratitude."

the proposition of Senator Brice that the
level of Lake Erie be raised by means of a
dam at Buffalo: "The scheme is entirely
practicable, and have thought for some
time that it ought to be carried into effect,
1 have not studied the matter, but there
are no engineering difficulties in the way.
This country and Canada would have to
reach an agreement in the matter. The
expense would be very small as compared
with the widespread results, and the level
could be raised three feet or fifteen feet, as
desired"

NEW YORK, Dec.7 There was great com
melton in the assay Office in Wall street
yesterday. The journal of an engine in
the melting room, where 81 400, 900 in gold
bars was being arranged for shipment, be-
came overheated and the oil ignited. The
flame followed the oil train along the
point Of the machinery to the ceiling, and
great volumes of black smoke quickly
filled all the rooms of the building.
Outside, on the Wall street side, came a
great kicking at the doors. 1t was a po-
liceman trying to get in. An assay official
opened the door about an inoh and then
slammed the door in thetpoliceman's face.
The policeman ran to "a fire box and
turned in an alarm, and In few moments
two engines ratified up to the corner. The
flremen, axesin hand, made an onslaught
on the iron doors, but they were refused
admission. They insisted and finally llf-
teen were allowed to enter.
Mr. Crosa, chief clerk, said that the only
danger was that the fire might have ex-
tended to the assay room over the deposit

DIZZINESS IN THE HEAD.

This is a Sure Precursor of Apoplexy and
DR.. Agnew's Cure for the Heart Should
at once be Taken
No one can read the daily papers without
being seriously impressed with the fact that
a large number of people in the present age
have within their system the evidence of
apoplexy. This is seen and felt often in a
trembling and uncertainty of the limbs, and
frequently in an unpleasant dizziness and
lightness Of the head He is very unwise
man who, knowing these symptoms to exist,
does not promptly take measures to have them
removed, We know Of no remedy that has
been so remarkably successful in this partic-
ular as DR.. Agnew's Cure for the Heart
Primarily it is a Heart Cure, but it is equally
effective in what is to some extent parallel
disease, apoplectic symptoms. In a season
when unusual heat excitement often runs
high, we are doing kindness to men and
women by letting them know of this re-
markable medicine. Sold by S. p. Kirlin.
