The vast number OF eggs used as food
gives great interest to the question

all the conditions under which they may
exist. 1t is rarely Thought that eggs must
necessarily partake OF the condition OF the

stances existing In which they cannot help

Improvement in the Fir Demand.

The Mississippi Valley Lumberman SAYS,
number OF good sized sales of fir for
railroad work and dock cons trlction along
the lakes have recently been made by Min
neapoiis dealers in west coast lumber.
which leads to tho conclusion that the fir
lumber business of the present wear Ia
going to be an Improvement over that of
last year. and better than the red cedar
single trade. Since the advance In yellow
pine prices. fir has been having things
more Its own way in the Northwest. The
competition is still very close, but where
few years ago the builders OF the big
docks on Lake Superior would have
thought Of using nothing but white and
Norway pine. they are now giving Doug
las f1r a chance. and II seems to be becon,-
ing more and more popular for this kind
OF construction.
A few months ago 1000 90 feet of fir was
sold for a big ore dock at Marquette, Mich,
and another sale for nearly the same
same amount for another ore dock to be
built at Two Harhors. This has been done
IN close competition with white and Nor
way pine. and without doubt the fir was
sold az extremely low prices to get the
bills. Yet h Is serving TO introduce the
wood for rle kind Of work that requires
large and long ;imhers. for which fir is
particularly adapted. and when once thor
oughly introduced. II will be an easier nat
ter 10 sell in the future.
II Is 10 be regretted that the fir manu-
feciurers IN the state OF Washington do not
insist on more profitable prices. for their
supply of fir will not be with them always
and n Is being sacrificed now practically
at cost. II Is likely. however. that the
mill men OF the West may be taking their
che from the yellow pine men. who fog
years disposed 81 their product at almost
any price in competition with white pine,
the old standby. until at last. when they
had made a field for their humber. they
called halt and advanced prices 20 a
point where there Is now some profit in
ihe business.
The mills Of Washington are a long wlss
from the consuming territory, yet for the
particular kind Of work for which fir is
especially adapted. 70 20 rapidly creating .
demand that will tend to counterbalance
the difference IN freight rates. Even now
the new cave and wooden gutter manufac-
turers of Puget sound are finding a mar

and other places In the East. where II was

CORPSE IN A TRUNK.
Said to Be That Of Oliver Pike,
Of This City.


Several days ago. at q sale Of unclaimed
haGEage in Chicago. . trunk was sold, and
the purchaser found In the trunk the de-
composed body OF . man- with wounds
lesding to the belief that he was muir
dered. The trunk had been shipped from
Salt Lake and was addressed TO one Nor
gaa- Two men from Salt Lake say the
body IL that OF Prosper Chaxal. a profit
gate Frenchman who disappeared from
that city in February. 1888. Mrs. Theo-
dore O. Mosher. of Raveaswcod. nj. iden-
titles the body a. that of Oliver Pike, Of
Seattle, who disappeared from hts home
three years ago The Seattle police have
no record of any such disappearance:
neither bave the undertakers and Pixies
meme Is not In the old directories.
Chicago, March &.-The mystery Of the
body found In the box by Carl Haas ana
Phiiip Grsess. at Austin. Thursday after
noon. yet remains unsc,yed. Three cases
OF men who have disappeared In the West
have been reported to the authorities. but
there seems TO De no way of Determining
the identity OF the body. The cases are:
Oliver Pike, disappeared at Seattle three
years ago; an Enaiishman employed on a
ranch near Salt Lake. three years ago.
and Joanes Prosper Chaxal. disappeared
at Salt Lake three years ago. It seems
unlikely. the police say. that the body at
the morgue is that Of Chazai. The French
man Is described as being feet ii inches
in height, while the body Is only 5 feet s
inches. The teeth Of the Ffenehman were
filled with a composition of steel. while
the teeth OF the cadaver. are sound and
without filings. If the friends OF either
the unknown Englishman or Oliver Pike
succeed In Identifying the body at the
morgue by a scrap of hair. q set Of teeth
and a truss. they VIA accomplish won
ders, for these are the only things they
have to 60 by. the rest Of the body being

Mrs. Theodore Mosher today told Deputy
Coroner Mentally the story OF Oliver Pixies
disappearance. She said she was at Seattle
at the time. His mother is Mrs. William
Halves. and lives at Fayette, Fulton coun-
ty. o. Mrs. Mosher Is close friend OF the
family. and had known young Pike for a
number of years. She said also that the
description Of the body as regards size,
weight, hair and teeth agreed with those
OF Pike. He had been injured early in life.
and wore truss. He always had plenty OF
money, she said. The inquest at the
morgue this afternoon resulted In nothing.
After considerable testimony had been
heard 1t was adjourned until Tuesday after
noon.
