mates who requested that his name be

The recommendation of the advance
was due primarily to the fact that it

where they earned $40 year ago. The
demand for labor is better and extends
TO all lines employing much labor.
Railroads are paying 81 per day for
men who year ago would have been
glad of a chance to earn 81 or SIPS.
There has been corresponding ad-
vance in the cost of supplies and the
log output is not as large as anticipat-
ed. The intense cold retarded the log
ging operations and there was one spell
of warm weather that caused consid-
cradle mischief. Many of the camps
on the ST. CroiX when the warm
weather came on simply cleaned up
the logs that were skidded and broke
camp.
''The stocks on hand at the close Of
last year in the white pine industry
were AL 000,0 Co., or more than Ii per
cent smaller than at the close of 1897.
And the stocks then were reduced from
the previous year. This was the re-
suit Of previously unsatisfa Glory condi-
tons that caused the manufacturers to
limit their operations. to the smallest
practical point.
1.-THE marked improvement I'M all the

the sash, door and box lines, and es-
also has taken BOOM The Eastern
demand has improved and the stocks
at the head of the lakes are all bought
up. 1t has reached the point where
the coming years stock has been all
contracted for. The price of the vel
low pine from the South, which is the
principal competitor of white pine, has
advanced twice in the past year, while
white pine has remained practically
stationary. There is also an advance
in coast lumber, with a firm market
and a good demand"

On Charge of Abandonment.

nine years old, was arrested this afternoon
by Detectives Muller and Fathers for the
Baltimore authorities. He is charged with
having abandoned his wife. Ida NJ. Shaw,
as we'll as with failure to support her and
two minor children, Arthur and Mildred
Shaw, whose ages are not given.
Detective Todd Hall of Baltimore. who
had charge of the case, came over here two
days ago with a requisition from Gov
Lloyd Lowndes and interested the local
officers in the case. The latter learned that
Shaw, who is a timer by trade had found
employment with a 7th street firm and it
was alleged was living at 707 9Th street
northwest. The detectives found Shaw at
his work and arrested him. He was taken
to police headquarters, where he expressed
a willingness to return without a hearing
on the requisition papers. Detective Hall
was sent for and Shaw will probably re-
turn to Baltimore later in the day to an.
swer the charges against him.
