(Thompson's Sarsaparilla.
Ut makes Rich, Red Blood,
Take no other, None as Good,
Lumber Raises a Dollar.

SAN Francisco, March 12.-The
price of every foot of lumber which is
shipped to this port and is manufac-
tured or handled in any business CEN
ter of the Pacific coast has been adj
vanced. The new price lists will be
issued tomorrow, and, although they
will nominally go into effect tomorrow
morning, they will not become prac-
tically operative until next Monday
morning, when the great lumber trust
begins its existence. AS already an
nounced, success has crowned the Ell
forts of the organizers of the Central
Lumber Company.
Every mill of the slightest import
ance on the coast has been included IN
the combination. The retailers are IN
position where resistance is out OF
the question, even if it were con-
templated. The wholesale dealers and
millmen control the situation, and in
tend to make the lumber business
profitable. 1t is claimed that many
of the most powerful leaders in the in
dustry have conducted their business
for years without profit. Domestic
and foreign competition has reduced
prices to that point where heavy losses
could not be avoided The gigantic
trust will remedy these evils, and al
low the members of the corporation te
charge what they believe to be reason
able for the product they handle.
The final organization of the trust
5 after so many failures and APPARENT,
! insuperable difficulties, has caused
e marked excitement in business circle
/ in this city. It was known that one
prominent dealer was blocking th'
q success of the plan. He refused to ac
e cept the terms which others had fount
e agreeable, and declined to enter tn
It combination except upon terms which
: the organizers believed were unfair
The name of this dealer was kept
6 secret until yesterday. when it becam
n known that he had at last agreed t
L. sign the required contracts. He is F
n B. Cornwall, who controls the Belling
ham Bay Land and improvement
; Company.

The Rush for Alaska.

SAN Francisco, March 15,-The
steamer Umatilla sailed this morning
for Victoria and Puget Sou d ports,
carrying away one of the largest crowds
of passengers for the north in long
time. There were 268 people in all.
The steamers passenger accommoda-
tions were taxed to the utmost, all
sorts of improvised apartments being
accepted by the crowds who we're eager
to get aboard
Among the passengers were at least
100 miners with outfits bound for the
gold fields of Alaska. Many Of them
are going to Cooks Inlet, while not a
few are to brave the dangers of a
northern winter and attempt to cross
the ice from Dyea Inlet to the Yukon
To reach the Yukon by water it would
be necessary to wait until the end OF
May before leaving this city, and il
will be some time in June before the
river will be sufficiently free from ice
to admit of navigation.
The fame of Forty-Mile Greek has
gone abroad and the majority of min
ing men seem to be of the opinion thai
once they reach that goal their for
tunes are made. Those who have been
to the camp advise all people to sta!
away unless they have money to buy
provisions and pay their way back t.
civilization. On the other hand, it i
claimed that the winter is the best TIM
in which to begin digging.

COMPOSER OF THE "AWAKENING
OF THE LION"
\ Veteran of so Years of Age-Now
Touring the World-Was an Infant
Prodigy on the Piano.

The cheyalier de kontski, Germany's
count pianist, so well known through
mis- awakening of the Lion" has
written long letter to friend in
Brussels, dated Calcutta, April eth, in
which he says that after quitting San
Francisco in the May of last year, he
and his wife visited Japan, Shanghai,
Hongkong, Canton, Manila, Siam,
Java, Sumatra, Penang and Singapore.
He then went to Calcutta, after a
series of concerts which were Il series
of triumphs. Much applause and much
money. He intended to give one con-
cert i'm Calcutta and one in Bombay,
and then leave India before the season
of storms, and quietly return to Eu-
rope through Siberia, Moscow and st.
Petersburg, giving concerts wherever
he found it practicable. He continues:

my eighty years, | can sing. allegretto

strength and activity of a young man
of thirty. My fingers, always vigorous
and supple, run over the piano with
all the lightness of youth: in fact, ]
always feel young, and | am working
for the future" TheChevalier Kontski
gave his first concert in 1921, at the
age of six. at Cracow, his native town,
where he created the utmost surprise
and enthusiasm. He was applauded
with noise like thunder. encored,
covered with bouquets. and he had
verses written in his honor. At each
of his appearances he had to play
"The Lion" piece of Il "diabolical
| difficulty" and which requires the
maximum muscular force which a
young and vigorously constituted plan.
| list can give, without breaking the
/ hammers of the instrument or faint
/ ing with exhaustion. All the Kont-
skis were musicians. Three of them
gave a concert at which the eldest was
but seven, and Appolinaire at the age
of four and half plays with the air OF
a virtuoso.

The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the mean
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer A few days ago prominent gem
teman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the office OF the Electric Company and said;
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and
want it done at once; no more lamps for me.
Last night a lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and take no more risks"
This is the sentiment Of quite number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light; send

this summer, the assessed valuation

The total reduction on lands in this
county thus made was $1.059, 900.

state this year is 4.3 mills In round
numbers the total valuation of the
county has heretofore been nearly
Sc, ,0O0, 900; Ssavipg of two tenths of
a mill on thatsum means 1920, less
to send the state, ,and the lower valua.

that much less we send to the state

amount Of taxes added per mile

tracks which have never paid taxes
before, all Of which not only paY in
creased taxes for the state but is sub
ject to the levy Of each district or

it will make at least $4,000 more.
That is. with $1,000 taxation added

Whether Mr.. Ireland himself wrote
the above article perhaps makes little
difference, but the attempt of the
writer to make out Mr.. Ireland as an
"old" republican makes everybody
here laugh. Mr.. Ireland is "old''
enough ii that is all, but as he has only
been a steady resident on this side of
the International boundry line for
about 8;years, he cannot be a very
"old republican"
The above "old republican" we have
good reason to believe is q Canadian

PEFFER's SPEECH. !.

Two farmers lands lay side by side,
but an international boundary line
divided them. Mr.. Populist owned
the farm and.a COW on this side of the
line and Mr.. Mexican owned the farm
and COW on the other side of that
line. AS they plowed side by side one
day the farmers talked of their COWS
and agreed that one COW was as valu-
able as the other and there were some
suggestions as to trading even which
were practically agreed to by both
farmers. But that night Mr.. Popu-
list concluded ne could do better than
trade even. So next morning he
arose early, took his COW to market
and sold her for go. Then he went
to the money changers and bought
forty Mexican dollars, with his TWEEN.
ty American dollars. Then he went
to his Mexican neighbor and says, 81
have sold my cow but will buy yours
for cash instead. How much do you
want for your GOVT" The Mexican re-
piled, Yesterday we agreed that the
COWS were of equal value, I will sell
you my COW for the same price that
you received for yours. How much
did you get?" Mr.. Populist replied,
II got $2O." "Well'' said Mr.. Mexi-
can, "You should give me $40 for my
cow" So farmer Pouplist pays Mr..
Mexican twenty dollars" drives the
COW across to his farm and then goes
into his house and salts down the
twenty remaining Mexican silver dol
lars in an old cracked teapot, and
says, "What a fool that Mexican
neighbor of mine is." And If such
transactions are true, every reader
would agree with him. And yet the
popocrat speakers and news
paper writer's, say that is the process
by which England doubles her money
in buying wheat In India, In buying
goods in Mexico, and this was stated
by Senator PETER at Hallock, on
Monday of this week.

FOR SENATOR.

Sometimes some people will say
"Oh Mr.. LaMoure is a bad man." but
you will find on questioning those
people that either they don't know
OF any specific badness" or IL they
mention something, they are entirely
mistaken as to the actual facts of the
case. On the other hand In, all the
years that Mr.. LaMoure has spent in
public life he has been leader in all
public questions, and 1t would be
strange indeed IL he always been able
to see ahead as we'll as his critics now
see behind. On the other hand again,
we make the statement without fear
Of contradiction, that no man has
done more to shape the legislation. OF
form the government Of North Dako-
ia. than Judson LaMoure and every
citizen of North Dakota is proud of
our statute book and of our system of
government. We have no desire to
demean his opponent Mr.. Wilson, but
when it comes to ability, influence.
and experience, the voter has right
to draw his own conclusions. Mr..
Wilson has been in "politics" most of
the time since 1882. He has essayed
to be political leader both in county
and state. He has been political
fizzle every time he attempted to car
ry out his schemes. He has no ele-
ments Of leadership except those of
assumption and is peculiarly deficient
IN tact and executive ability. He is
a failure in his own party, and would
be more SO in the legislative arena.
Size up the two men, voters, and take
your choice. When you are sick you
seek the best doctor, when you go to
law you look for the best attorney.
when you select a legislator use the
same common sense.
