Harbor Camp No. $500, Modern Wood
men of America, ten applications for
menb rship were favorabiy acted upon.
This will give the camp membership
OF twenty eight. Other applications
have been received since, but as vet
have not been formally acted upon.
The order is good one and The cost of
one or two thousand dollars protection
Is SO small that any person upon whom
anyone is dependent cannot afford to
tie without it. There are also other
good orders, such as the WOrkmen,
Ben Hurs, etc. Join one Of
these and protect your family. It costs
but little and, in case the head of the
family dies, means much.

that an abundant supply ought to Ike
easily Obtainable at all, convenience
in this county. 1t is under
stood that the. Thompson Steamboat
Company IL seriously considering the
of substituting coal Tor
wood. 1t Is claimed that steam coal nj
present prices is not only more econ
omical than wood at the price how
paid, but that it would enable tn, mail
to make its daily trip in two
hours less time. To the demand for
wood 10y the many steamers now em-

more profitable employment in that
industry of many men who could
formerly be engaged to cut cOrdwood
at less than the present rate per cord
present conditions are largely due, and
they will be likely to continue for some
time. 1t is reported that the Pacific
American Fisheries Company has con-
tracted for the construction of six new
tugs and that they will all burn coal.
