beaumont Texas October l7-Thoro has
been no material change in the lumber sit
uation the past week and none for the
better is looked for unul the presidential
quest ion has been decided and The people
have settled down to business. few or
dors from dealers come IN regularly and
occasionally milmen are surprised by re-
ooiying orders for as many as halt dozen
cars but there ~ nothing resembling ac-
tiyity. Nearly ali mills have fair supply
of saving orders for shipment to the IN
terror Whllc those located ON waterways
OF at POINTS accessible TO Sabine Pass have
, export orders IA abundance.
There is very little demand for shingles
and shipments are light.
THE CARGO BUSINESS.
There were but three vessels in port a;

dia The former was about loaded and
was expected TO clear IN the evening ana
the Johannes win clear today Tor Buchos

load for hlcstrs, I, H. Spotswood Co.,

the former for Brazil and the schooncrs
for Mexico: the schooner Nettie Shipman
10 load for the Reliance for Jamaica. This
last vessel has, however, been delayed, ana
will not reach the Pass for about two
weeks.
on account Of the large amount OF cot
ton now being shipped abroad vessels for
shipment of lumber are somewhat difficult
to obtain.
PRICE or TIMBER IN EUROPE.

cost of standing timber in that country
which are AT this time quite interesting.

From the sun.
\ computation made some time ago Of
the member of FeGvcdl o!'icClu.dtrs III

iact that ONO has LEGS than Its Guu.i
OF Federal appointments. The numoe
credited 10 Ohio in Washing ton depart
mcnts Is ,3S, whereas according To hen
ropulat!On tn" state should have SD.
The discrepancy l., perhaps, explained by
the tact ,hat the places covered by the
enumeration are small ones and that
ONO is better represented in those paying
larger salaries.
The new Philadelphia councils recently
elected contain thirty-four Republicans
and three Democrats In the hisher branch
and 10 Republicans ana -four Democrats
in the popular branch. The Republicans
have on joint ballot l59 members u Coun-
els and the Democrats have seven. Phil.
adelphia was once u Democratic city.
The chairman of the Democratic national
committee resides lhCre.
For the first time since its eStabl>a l.
ment in 1887 the Socialist party poll"d last
year votes IN every county OF New York
state. The Ia! was 2l,OOO, toward which
New York contributed 1906; Kings, 5,DHl.
Erie, 800; Queens, 40; Onondaga. IUO, and
Yves leicester, 800. Tn. vote of the So
ciai!5t PARTY. however, Is still light in the
rural districts.
In 1882 the prohibitionists polled 7.j30
VCtcS in Massachusetts and the PoDuliSts 8
200. Three years later, in 1895, the Pro-
hbition vote was 800 and the Populist
vote 1850, The Socialists. who polled 60
votes in 1892 polied 3.2i9 IN 1895. They
were most numerous in Essex county.
