Outlook for Spruce Lumber

Opinions vary among the Penobscot
lumber manuf cturers regarding the
lumber market, present and prospective.
One manufacturer when asked by the
Journal as to 1.-THE matter, stated that
lumber was selling as briskly, and at as
good prices as could be expected under
the circumstances. Meaning by circum-
cnmstances the continued importation of
Canadian lumber free of duty, which
keeps the supply in the Boston market
up and the prices for ordered lumber
down correspondingly. 1.-The great
trouble is" said he, "that logs are from
Sl.50 to $500 per thousand more than
they've business to be-
Among the manufacturers generally.
however, the feeling seems to be one of
the inevitable. Contrary to expections
held earlier in the season, the Canadian
mills continue to pour large consign-
ments into the market, and the prospect
of a cessation is not very strong. Prae-
tically all the mills on the river are now
at work, although they have no ineen-
tive to push matters and are therefore
taking hold of the work in a quiet way
The GU look is on the whole, good for
the winters stock, but the season is now
too far advanced for the possibility of
any boom to offset the period of idleness
that has lasted so long this seasOn.-Ia-
dRstrio( Jo,rnal.

1t is predicted that before many years
the sunfower will come into general cul-
tiyation in this country. AS Il plant, it
has no superior for yigor, rapid growth
and prolific yield of seed, leaves and
stalk, all of which can be utilized. The
seeds are especially good as feed for
fowls, and when mixed with grains they
are relished by all farm animals. Fifty
bushels of seed to the acre is fair yield,
and this will produce fifty gallons of oil
worth 81 a gallon. In China a valuable
fiber, used in silk weaving, is obtained
from the stalks, and they are of service
as fuel and a source of potash. The
Orientals mix their tobacco with cured
sunfower leaves, and make yellow dye
from the flowers, which are also rich in
honey and wax. The sunhower grows
riotously in the United States, and stands
all extremes of weather well. Plainly,
it is one of natures great gifts, but as
yet unappreciated.

The New England Fair at Portland
and Rigby park which commenced last
Tuesday and continued through the
week, drew large crowds and was a sue
cess throughout. The races were pro-
nounced fine. The weather was in every
way excellent with the exception of
Thursday, and there were many attrac-
tons for visitors to see. The White
Squadron was stationed in the harbor
during the first of the week and was of
great interest to all.

Many of the smaller cities of Mime
sofa and South Dakota have adopted a
"curfew law" forbidding children under
sixteen years of age to be on the streets
after the ringing of the bells at nine
o'clock p. Nj. The law is reported to
have most wholesome effect upon the
morals of the young, all of whom obey
it cheerfully. 1t is an excellent idea
and worth c0pying.

to the present widespread interest in

may still be spinning along somewhere

this was mail service by carrier

of Santa Catalina and Los Angeles, in
California. This is now in daily opera

THE SWING OF THE SABRE
Cleared Path Through Ten Thousand Work ingmen -at Vienna-What Might
 Have Been Bloody Riot.

Vienna, June 9.-Ten thousand work ingmen attempted 10 hold a meeting in the Prater at o'clock this morning, but a great force of policemen, on horse back and on foot. prevented them. A large number of the crowd then went into two saloons on the Prator, where speeches were made. Herr Engelbert Bernerstorfer, a radical member of the reichstag and the socialist leader, spoke against the ministry's franchise scheme and insisted upon the right of public as- sembly. The police made several at tempts to silence the speakers. and finally arrested the leaders. The crowd then became greatly excited, and it was necessary for the police to fight their way out with their prisoners. The off cers used their sabres freely. charge was then made on the crowd in the Pra- ter Strasse, which was soon cleared. La ter the mob gathered again and paraded the streets. It was feared that an attack might be made on the public buildings. and strong forces of police were detailed to guard the ministerial offices and the parliament house.
