time among the dealers in Southern lum.
ing a rushing business. Prices on lumber
have gone up and with it the demand
has increased. 1.-THE indications point to
great revival in the lumber business, -
said member of this firm in speaking
of the matter yesterday. Mckinley q
election has boon great boon TO lum Der.
men everywhere.
When one considers how many men the
lumber industry gives employment to in
Maine the statements made yesterday by
firm which controls many of the largest
lumber tracts in the state and which
operates many of the largest mills in
Maine will show better than anything
else the good that will result to the
laboring men in Maine from Mckinley Is
election.
Already there has been decided i'm
provsment in the demand for lumber. .
said member of this firm yesterday.
The price of lumber has already ad-
vanoed 30 cents a thousand and every
thing indicates n big increase in the
amount of lumber cut in Maine. We had
in a measure anticipated the result OF
the national election, and before McKin-
ley's election was known we had hun
dreds of men and teams engaged to 60 to
work in the woods with the first fall OF
snow | believe that more lumber will
be felled in Maine today than has been
cut in the state for two or three years.
of course this will give employment to
many men and it will boom business Of
all kinds in Maine.
sOf course the lumbermen of Maize
and of the West are feeling confident of
return of the tariff on lumber under
the Repu blioan administration. When
the tariff was removed from lumber a
few years ago it materially decreased the
lumber business in Maine, and the West.
but the consumers of lumber we're not
benefited by the free lumber to any great
extent. They paid their dealers nearly
as much for lumber as before, but the
lumb Der dealers in Boston and New York
pooketed the difference between the price
they paid for Canadian lumber and the
selling price of all kinds Of lumber in
the states.
Another lumber firm said that thore
would surely be large increase in the
amount of lumber cut all over Maine this
year. The demand for lumber at tn is
time OF year is usually light. but just
now it is larger than ever before aft this
time of year and the demand is increased
by restored confidence and the election of
William Mckinley.

Last Sunday the Kinxmsn and White Hills base ball clubs crossed bats on the grounds of the Kingman club m South Kingman. Although the score ran up rather high, the game was an exciting one from start to finish. In the fihh inning it looked as th,ush only the direc; intervention of a kind Providence would save the Kingman nine from an inglouous iefest, bus with ths fifth inning White Hills went to pleces and were never in |, after that tlme. John Withers went into the pitchers box in the seventh and did great work. Although the umpiring of George Bates was uniformly fair and i'm partial, ihsre was considerable kicking, az considerable money had been placed on the game.
