The Lumber Situation.

The prediction that free lumber
would seriously interfere with the
trade on this Coast seems to have
come true. The promoters of the
new combine say shat British Column
bia competition has been too much
for the American lumbermen, and
they have been selling their stock for
three years with practically little or
no profit. The combine hopes they
may get relief by increasing their
sales in foreign markets. If there is
a large foreign demand, possibly they
may succeed, but with limited de-
mand for lumber abroad the chances
a:e that the same obstacles will be
met away from home which have
paralyzed their business on the Coast.
With British Columbia stumpage at
% cents, while ours is 81, and labor
cheaper there than here, it would
seem that the prospect for our lum-
bermen is not bright so far as the
California trade is concerned. Unless
the consumption increases, the i'm
portations from British Columbia will
no doubt grow larger and larger, I'M
til a market which was once ours ex-
clusively will be turned over to for
elgners. This is not especially en-
couraging for the people on Puget
sound, for lumber will for years be the
great staple here, and anything which
intelferes with the prosperity of the
lumber business will affect all lines of
trade more or less. 1t is understood
that the margin of profit to the mill
owners is now very small, if anything
ut ALL and this is certain to have its
Influence on the wages of mill men.
Stevedores, choppers, teamsters, sail
ors and everybody connected or in any
way identified with the business. So
long as Canadian lumber comes in, it
is not likely there will be much i'm
provement, unless perchance very
unusual demand should be created at
home or in foreign parts.-P.-I.

If anybody wants to witness sight
which resembles beehive in its sys-
tematic movements, he should visit
the fruit packing house of Wilson d
Robertson, on Fourth street near the
draw. Here are employed about thirty
operatives asserting, arranging and
packing Philippines are now IN
their turn-men, women, boys and
girls. The fruit after being carefully
picked to avoid bruising, is as carefully
hauled to the big wareroom and just
as carefully placed on long table bins,
each variety by itself, the asserting
having reference merely to the size OF
each grade that is boxed. In packing
the italian prune, which seems to be
the leading variety, three layers are
placed in each of the four "baskets"
which constitute a box of twenty
pounds. The layers are separated by
sheet of paper Some of the larger
varieties, like the Hungarian, will adj
nit of only two layers in the cases,
which are four inches deep.
The boxes or crates, soon as they
are filled are carried to the operative
whose business it is to nail on the top,
and it then passes to the front for let
tering with the variety of fruit, name
of the packers and location of the
packery-Olympia. The crates are
then ready for shipment to the Roch-
ester Brokerage CO. at Seattle, who
will handle this years crop, and ship
to the East in refrigerator cars.
Messrs w. & r. have been packing
from 5000 to 5000 pounds per day,
ever since prunes came into the mar
ket. They can handle 10000 pounds
per day if necessary, and it is proba-
BILE that their resources will be taxed
to the utmost before the season closes
for our people are just becoming
aware of the fact that there is money
in fruit and are sending in supplies
from Chehalis, and Mason counties
as we'll as all parts of Thurston.
The varieties of prunes produced in
this part of the State are the italian
the German, the French and the Hun
garian. They grow simply to perfec
ton, and in another season the yield
will place the product among the lead
ing industries of the State.-OlympiG
