days looking over the trade with a view
to perfecting plans that will materially IN
crease the lumber and single sales of this
state. in the Eastern market, next year.
1.-THE present indications are that there
will be a greater demand than ever for
next year" he said last night. "a few
weeks ago agents Of Cramps ship yards
visited this state and placed orders for a
large amount of FIR timber which will be
used very extensively next year by them in
the construction of large boats. The ship
yards about the great lakes, which in the
past have received their timbers from Mich
igan and Wisconsin are now turning their
eyes toward the Washington fir forests
Next season we expect to work this trade
for the first time and there is no doubt
but that a vast amount of fir will be used
in boat construction work during the COM
ing # year wears ago there was very little i,
any, Washington lumber used in the East
ern markets. Since then each year. has
witnessed a good increase The business
this year in cedar, which enters into de
rect competition, with the Southern and
next year a still further increase will be
made. The Eastern dealers are just becom-
ing accustomed to 1t and as consequence
the trade is now beginning to demand 1t.
"F'ir is harder to place than cedar. except
for railroad cars and such work. The low
price of Southern lumber has kept fir in
the background to great extent, but II
the Southern price advances, fir will be in
greater demand, and particularly IL the cost
of transportation can be kept down.
II am glad to see the lumber men of
Washington getting down to better work.
ing basis. The meetings that have been
held this season, while 1t is probably not
generally known here, have done an incal-
culable amount OF good in the East. 1t
Washington lumber men will Just stick to-
gether on a fair price list they will be
enabled to get out better class of stock
and to great extent assist in creating a
greater demand for their product in the
East. This has been the shingle history.
The Washington single on the Boston
market today is staple article. The as
ISOLATION has done away with price cutting
and as a consequence we are getting a
better article than before and the best
single that can be produced anywhere.
s'There will be big business in shingles
in the East this year. A large amount Of
construction work Is being arranged for
and in filling orders we have no fear about
the cedar lumber and shingles and expect
a big trade in flr.
'sThis increase in trade will call for better
prices for all grades of lumber and in the
advance Washingtons product will receive
substantial recognition"

BORELLA rs LAID TO REST,
Funeral of the Italian Patriot and
Seattle PiOneer-Why He Called
for n netecffvN

Anthony Borella. the. Italian patriot, fol-
lower Of Garibaldi and pioneer Of Seattle,
who died aast Saturday night, was buried
yesterday. Although born Catholic,
Borelia had never been in good standing
with. his church since the time when he
was follower. of the great Italian Re-
publican, and his funeral services were
conducted by. Rev. John +. Damon, a
Protestant. The services were held in
Bonney Sc Stewards chapel, and interment
was made in Lakeview cemetery.
The. strange incident which occurred on
Borella's death-bed. wherein he sent for a
detective, was explained yesterday. For
many years .Borella had been estranged
from his relatives, and he was anxious
that they should not have the management
of his property after his death. Borella
was for many years a friend of Detective
Ed Cudihee, and when he called for de-
tective 1t appears that he wanted Cudihee.
Shortly before the old man died Cudi-
hee called to see him, and Borella request
ed him to assume the management Of his
estate after his death. Cudihee was about
to send for Attorney Fred H. Peterson.
who was Borella's lawyer. and have the
necessary will drawn up, naming him as
executor, when Borela breathed his last.
