FURTHER ADVANCE IN WHEAT
ON CALL.
Barley Market Quiet-More Inquiry
for Oats and Prices
Eirmer.

San Francisco, Aug. 18th.
Wheat on call had further advance
this morning, and there was a rise of
lac per Genital in the spot quotations, for
shipping grades, owing to the ffrmness
shown by the distant markets. Specula-
ton was fairly brisk
The local barley market was quiet, sam
pie lots showing no Improvement, and flu
lures being sustained to some extent by
the rise in wheat options. Receipts were
70,154 centals, including So, 164 centals on
the British ship Cypromene, from Port
Costa for the United Kingdom. The ac-
tual local receipts were $3.50 centals. In
oats there was rather more inquiry for
red on Government account, and prices
were firm. Black were not in much de-
mand and were easy. Receipts were 9O5
centals. Corn was unchanged. Receipts
were % centals
The receipts of hay were again excess
sively large to-day and amounted to 1,017
tons. The feeling was weak Bran and
middlings were steady under very light
receipts. Arrivals of the former were 80
sacks and of the latter 24O sacks. Rolled
Barley is easy.

RISE IN SAW MILL WAGES.
The Pine Tree Co. Will Pay All
-. Employees 10 Cents
..~r~. More Per Day. r. "

The Pine Tree Lumber company
has made an announcement that
will be of direct benefit to hundreds Of
families in the city, and to all our
people generally. On August 10 an
advance in wages of 10 cents a day
will be made for all employees OF the
company.
This increase places the wages In
the mills and yards OF the city for all
classes of work beyond what was
ever before paid. The move was en-
tirely voluntary, and was made be-
cause the conditions warranted 1t.
The demand for lumber is unusually
good, and price has advanced. The
business is prospecting and the men
will get a share OF the improved con
ditions. The advance in wages
made early in the spring placed the
pay ofsome above previous schedules,
and restored all the others tothe high
est scale before known; but the pres
ent rise exceeds any previous record.
It is gratifying to note that the
laboring men of the city are realiz-
ing in positive way that there has
been some improvement in industrial
conditions. Not only are wages
better, but there is an abundance OF
opportunity to work. !,

science knows this, and its highest authori-

Several culverts have been placed
across the bed of the new railroad
track on the West side. Considerable
of the land over which the road
passes is low, in some places five and
six feet, so these culverts were placed
in to guard against any damage
that might be done by the action OF
water. For the past several days
the work of filing has been confined
to the upper end Of the road. Tues
day the trains were backed down as
far as the paper mill and the gravel
unloaded there. The track from the
paper mill to Tanners flour mill is
about in place. Considerable filing
remains to be done, which is neces-
sary for the construction of side
tracks. In the vicinity of the paper
mill the grade will be about eight
feet. This will inconvenience the
teams hauling for the mill, as the
approach to the crossing will be
short and steep. There may be such
thing as passing the wagon road
under the railroad track. At the up
per end of the line the various
switches and sidings are being grad
ed up to the level.

It Is not unpleasant to see 50 many
gracious things said By the press OF
Mr.. r. d. q. N. Southworth, the aged
novelist, who has just died. 1t is true
enough that she wrote q great deal
more than was possible for anybody
who writes at the top Of his voice.
But she never wrote anything that she
felt sorry for afterward. Much Of II
was thin in the purely intellectual
sense, but all Of It was clean roman
ticism Of an old and entertaining
school, which never undertook to shock
anybody or kick over the traces OF
conventional propriety. We might Al
well give her credit now for having
written some pleasant tales that were
more vivacious than Mr.. e. P. Roe's
without his SNUG canting. Thousands
upon thousands of her books have
been read by the generation which Is
passing out, and that generation must
have been diverted and perhaps gently
Influenced, though it may never have
been stimulated and was assuredly
never perverted. The girl that read
everything that Mrs. Southworth
wrote is, so far as reading goes, as
good as ever she was. Can that be
said Of the girl who has read every
thing that Ouida has written or any
one Of the things that Laura Jean Lib
by fancied she had written?

THE SAME OLD STORY.
Told On The Streets Of Little
Falls AS Well AS
Elsewhere. =

Some things you cannot tell zoo
often repetition gives them added
strength. The same old story Is
pleasant to hear when 1T brings
happiness to home, brings Joy to the
afflicted, tells how burdens can be
raised; how the back can be relieved,
all the pains and aches removed, and
proves how easily it is done. Little
Falls people tell this story. Friends
and neighbOrs talk OF it. They tell
about their kidney ills. How they
suffered how the cures came. What
they think of DOan's Kidney pills.
Here is what a citizen says:
Mrs. Mary Montbriand, OF Sixth
st., North, says: II suffered for
years with kidney complaint, and al
though took a great deal OF medi-
cine / found nothing that proved
effectual in relieving me. There
were severe aching pains across the
small of my back, in the kidneys and
through my side. I felt listless and
tired, and was bothered greatly
with spells of dizziness and a feeling
of heaviness in the head. I could
not rest we'll nights, got up feeling
tired and unrefreshed in the morn
ings; the secretions were irregular,
highly colored and on standing de-
posted heavy sediment. Being
advised. to try Doan's Kidney Pills I
procured a box at Wetzel's pharm-
acy and began to use them. i'm
proved rapidly, the pains soon left
me, and the action of the kidneys
was regular and normal. I take
pleasure in highly recommending

Concentration Of Capital.

Whether the reported agreement Of
two Of the wealthiest and most impor-
tant railroads in the country Is virtu-
ally consolidation Of interests or only
an understanding to lessen the rivalry,
the movement shows the prevailing
tendency in industrial and financial
operations toward the concentration of
capital and power In q few hands.
That ultimately these two roads will
be governed by the same policy and
directed by the same brains there Is
no good reason to doubt, and such con-
troll will mean the swallowing up or
at least the additional control Of many
lesser roads that are now. mere feeders.
The attempt is made to show that
there is not the slightest danger Of
this combination raising the rates and
therefore that the public can suffer no
Inconvenience or loss. But this argu-
ment is quite wide Of the mark and
affects only the immediate convenience
Of the public. What is sure to present
itself to the mind Of the thinking man
is not the temporary effect upon rates,
but the problem back Of it all that Is
involved in such enormous concentra.
ton Of power. One has only to extend
the present tendency Of capital to a
certain point in the future to imagine
Vanderbilt or Rockefeller the vir-
tual director Of all the railroads or of
all the industries In the United States,
and the real question is, Can such an
aggregate Of power in the hands of
one man be accomplished without
perils to the community? But while
this process of concentration is going
on there is a parallel movement in Ia
Dor itself to become defensively mass.
ed. There is now an effort making to
federate all the railroad employees of

, 1t might be good business plan for

The musical festival lately held in

The descent Of the Christian En-

in q similar disappointment. The city

pected a great deal more Of the
city than they received. Such vast

in rushing 10000 or 10000 people upon
