ONLY BIG BUNDLES.
Consolidated Line Does Not Object to
Small Ones.

II wish the people living along the line
of the Consolidated road would come to
the officials of the company with their
grievances, instead of running to the city
council with them" said ". f. Backus, re-
ceiver of the line Wednesday. The remark
was made in answer TO the question of
what he had TO say in regard TO the COM
plant made 10 the city council last Mon
day night by persons who claimed that they
were not permitted 10 carry bundles with
them on the cars of the company.
THE management of the road has no In
tention whatever of restricting people from
carrying packages with them on the cars.
but on the other hand wishes to do all pos
sible to induce them TO ride over the line.
There is limit TO these things, however,
and people should do their part Take. for
instance, a case where a man rets on a
car with a package so large that It VIII
take up more room than several people.
1t was only a few days Ego that l saw a
man on one OF the cars with large door,
the end OF which was sticking over the end
OF the car and making II impossible for n
person 10 get on. Another case I wish to
cite is when a Chinese laundryman jumps
on a car with a bundle of clothes. These
are cases which I think should be men
toned. We have no objection, as l said
before 10 people carrying packages mod
erately large, but want 70 do everything
in our power to encourage them to ride
over the line"

The Scandfnavian-A Americans VIII Not
Form separate Clubs.

About fifty representative Scandinavian
American Republicans met at the Offices
of Aim & Slettengren, in the Halter build
ing, last evening and discussed matters
pertaining 10 the coming election.
Rev. j. Fl. Ekstrand was chosen chair
man and Gustave Edenholm secretary.
Much enthusiasm was manifested during
the meeting and several stirring addresses
were made. The advisability Of organizing
a Observation-Disclosures Republican club
was discussed, but ii appeared 10 be the
sense OF the meeting that more effectual
work could be done by joining the respect

A motion was made and carried that the
chairman appoint two gentlemen from
each ward to constitute a city central

see that all took active part in their ward
clubs, and to assist all entitled 10 vote TO
get their citizenship papers. After listen

TO KEEP CLOSED.

The full rehearsals of the cantata of the
"Haymakers" is great fun. George A. Ed
munds, the city dude, attracts the yellow
Jackets like a glass Of raspberry jam at a
picnic, and the chorus nearly split their
sides in the laughing song which follows
his misfortunes. Such a charming dairy
maid was never seen as Mrs. Jessie Hilton
Farrell, and after seeing and hearing Miss
Emma Aleer as the farmers daughter. 1t
is no wonder the farm hands are all IN love
with farm life at least so far as 1t relates
to the farmers daughter, while those who
saw and heard Gilbert Smith in his inter-
probation of the role of Juliette the Beauti-
full in the Mdwinter Nights Dream Will
hardly understand the metamorphosls
which has turned him into a common farm
hand.

''The Increase In lumber IS due TO the ex-
traoralnary demand last year for car
building material, bridge building stuff and
dimension orders The increase IN shin
giles Is due 10 the fact that they were the
cheapest on the market, and also 20 the ac-
auirement of new territory. This. too in
face OF the fact that British Columbia
shingles. for the first time, were active
competitors IN several Eastern states.
ut Is impossible al this writing TO give
the output OF the saw and single mills
o. the state Of Washington during 1894. A
conservative estimate places the amount
al 800 con Geo feet of lumber and 21e0 100000
shingles The output or the cargo nils,
printed elsewhere, and the ran shipments
of shingles. bears this statement.
Noticeable in the output of the cargo
mills is that OF the Port Blakeley MIL
Company, who cut 100. l9l feet Of lum-
Der and shipped los. so. 400 feet. This record
Is not equaled by any sawm.n IN the United
States or Canada. The nearest to IL is the
Akeley Lumber Company. of Minneapo-
lis whose output footed up S1,1s1.0e0 feet.
We do not believe there is another mill in
the world where the shipments SO nearly
equaled the output that of the big Port
Blakeley mill.
'''rhe outlook for the present year is good.
The cargo trade promises 10 equal. II not
exceed. that Of last year in volume. and
the promised success of the Central Lun-
Der Company makes IL sure that better
prices will obtain. In the rail trade indica-
tons point 10 a good demand this year,
and the single situation IS better than II
has been for years. with the price OF
crops advancing and the heavy contracts
let for car building material the lumber
trade will be all right Regarding shingles
stocks are unusually low both East and
West, and the mlilmen in closing Their
mills during the winter months assure
better prices and corresponding prosperity
In fact, the outlook all around is most
promising'
