PHILADELPHIA WOODEN TRACK
Opened With Cold Weather and Strong
Wind.


PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 5.-The first races
on Point Breeze wooden track were given
yesterday The lateness of the season
and the chilly weather, no doubt, kept
many people away who would otherwise
have attended, but, Notwithstanding all
this, there was quite good attendance,
and the formal opening of the now track
was very successful. There was very
stiff wind blowing across the track,
which at times was SO strong that the
men could hardly keep their wheels up
right in the face of it. This rendered
fast time in the races impossible, and
also kept many of the riders from at
tempting to compete at record breaking
for the very liberal PRICES offered by the
management.
Under the circumstances it was i'm
possible to get fair estimate of the
speed of the track. All racing men
spoke very highly of the track, and there
is no doubt that next season there will
be some splendid sport on the Point
Breeze track.

Receiver for Williamson Logging Co.

The Williamson logging company of
Shelton has gone into the hands of a
receiver on a petition from the First
National Bank of this city, and Judge
Reed has appointed Cbas. HI. Aver, as
such receiver. The company owes the
First National $3.50, but aside from
this they have not many liabilities,
while their assets amount to consider
able. These consist of logging en-
gines, camp houses, horses, and all
the accessories of logging camps. The
principal asset, however, is an ironclad
contract with the Tacoma Mill COM
pany to take the entire output of the
camps for five years. This contract
was made during boom times when
the price of logs was high. and it's
terms are such that the mill is held
strictly to these prices, irrespective Of
what the general market price of logs
may be. Receiver Aver went to Shell
ton last night on business in connec-
tion with the Observation-Disclosures

Lumber Shipments.

The Puget Sound Lumberman has
official reports from IL of the leading
mills of Washington showing their
total cargo shipments for October to
have been 28,51S,122 feet of lumber,
S,385,O57 lath and 4S5,000 shingles.
OF this number 1892 feet of lumber,
725,000 lath and 225,000 shingles went
foreign, and II ,565, 169 feet of lumber
7 ,644,057 lath and 100000 shingles
went coastwise. Estimating the mills
from which figures have not been re-
ceived would place the total cargo
shipments OF lumber for the month at
100000 feet of lumber. This would
show falling off as compared with
last month of over 100000 feet of
lumber. The mills which shipped
foreign cargoes during the month were

Lumber Company, Puget Mill Com
pany at Port Gamble, Tacoma Mill

Death of Mrs. l.. j. Morrison.

Mary Francis, wife of County Clerk
L. J. Morrison, died at her home in
Shelton on Monday, Nov. 18th. of
uraemia commissions. Although ailing
for several years past, Mrs. Morrison
was seriously sick, but few hours
before her death. The arrangements
were taken in charge by the Odd Eel
low brethren, and the interment made
on Tuesday afternoon from the Meth
odist Church, Rev. F. M. Wheeler de-
1ivering an Affecting address. The
church was filled with friends of the
deceased lady, and a large number
followed the remains to the grave in
the Odd Fellows cemetery, where,
after the last sad sites they was con-
signed to the earth.
Mary Frances Morrison was born at
Springport, Miss, Aug. 30th, 1896,
where she married in 1877 and remov-
ed to Arkansas. From there the fami-
1y came to this State in 1889, and have
o1hNO lACll III lulS Y.
Beside the bereaveds husband, four
children were left to mourn d mothers
absence. William, Thomas, Florence
and Elizabeth, the last two being aged
and 5 years.
1t calls for the sympathy of every
one, in such a case where little ones
are bereft of a mothers care, and must
depend on others, however kind. The
family had lately moved into their new
home IN town, and the mother was pre-.
pairing to enjoy more ease and comfort,
when suddenly stricken.
Friends and Neighbors:-I extend my
heartfelt thanks for the many acts OF
kindness that was rendered us during
the last illness of my wife. Very Res
pectfu1ly, L. J. MORRISON.

FOrty.iive Millions United.

Lumber prices seem certain to go up
with the opening of the new year, Tor
on January l the largest combine ever
made will begin to control the trade OF
the Pacific coast. 1t is the Central
Lumber Company, of San Francisco,
the successor to the old Pacific Pine
Lumber Company, and it represents
capital of at least $45, 100000. 1t IN
cludes every mill OF importance in the
region west of the Cascade mountains
from San Francisco on the south to
Vancouver, B. c., on the north.
To perfect the organization of this
gigantic trust has required nearly a
year of hard work, and every step has
been made as secretly as possible. The
first intimation given to the public
that such a move was being made was
through the incorporation at San Fran
cisco of the Central Lumber Company,
including some of the largest firms OF
that place. This was followed up by q
canvass of the mills of the Coast by
D. H. Bibb, of the Golden Gate Lum-
Der Company, and E. ]. Holt, of the
Simpson Lumber Company, both OF
San Francisco, those representatives OF
the trust coming northward and bring
| ing into line the mills of California
and Oregon. About October 20 they
reached the Gray's harbor country,
thence taking the mills of Puget sound
outside of Seattle, and then visitla 6
British Columbia. The last named
territory was worked with the greatest
care, and considerable time consumed
in showing the foreign mills the adj
vantage to be gained from united ac-
ton. Seattle was left to the last, 1t
being feared that many of the firms IN
this city would stand out and materi-
ally affect the purpose of the Union.
But during the present week Messrs
Bibb and Holt returned to this city.
having included in their list formida-
BILE array of mills They went about
quietly "sizing up" the concerns here
and one day they would be seen along
the docks inspecting cargoes, and the
next back in the yards. In this man
ner they obtained a fair estimate OF
what particular mill was doing. The
next day they would approach the
manager and place before him the de-
tails of their scheme, relying On bis
business honor not to disclose what
was said. Ifa firm stood out they made
it an inducement for him. to come in
usually offering a subsidy. 1t is sale
that the subsidies alone will reach
100000 year.
While this organization has beer
perfected, corner has been made or
logs in the Puget sound region, ant
many of the mills have secured al
unusually large supply. The reason j
easily seen! With lumber forced up
ward, logs will go up, and the endeavo
to get full stocks has been in anticipa
ton of rise. The great Port Blake
ley mill is said to have laid in suppl
of from 100000 to 100000 fee,
while the Puget Mill Company is re
ported to have spent in the past thirt
days 800, 900 for logs alone.-P.-I.

THE run of salmon this fall has been
unusually large, and is now about clos
ed In this bay. During the last two
months tons of fine fish have been
caught for local and Sound markets,
but an impression was hardly made in
the vsst schools of fish which come up
this bay. This immense natural re-
source is practically of no value to us
because it does not receive proper at
tention. No better field can be found
on the Sound for the location of s <h
packing house than at Shelton, or at
Union City,. on Hood Canal. Let us
hope that some enterprising person
win supply ihecannery before another
sesson goes by. Then fruit cannery
would very soon find an abundance of
business in putting up our surplus
small fruit.
