THE ORANGE LUMBER MARKET
ALL THE MILLS ARE KEPT GOING
TO THE LIMIT.
Railroad Bulls Arc Not Very MINER
Gus, but Demand for Export and
Yard stock Is Heavy.

Orange, Texas. March 1s.-The past
week kas been an exceedingly busy one
among the mills in Orange and everything
has been kept going up to the limit Every
barge that could be secured has been
pressed into service and shipments by
water have been very heavy. There hiss
been no perceptible decrease in orders for
yard stock, the demand being about as
usual for this class of material, but rail-
road bills have not been quite so numer-
Gus. In fact, manufacturers who had been
recently invited to submit bids on a large
schedule for one of the big railroad sys-
TENS were notified this week that the
schedule had been Withdrawn Tor the pres
emit. AS the mills Keep pretty wen up on
this class of orders. few more railroad
bills lust at this juncture might be &C
ceptablc.
there has been better supply of cars
this week long strings of cars, both Hats
and boxes, having been switched into the
yards almost daily, but the majority OF
the cars are OF small capacity. and In soruc
cases cause the shipper much inconvc-
nience. For instance, the minimum ca
pactty for cars 10 Interstate points has
been raised 10 10000 pounds, while almost
every car supplied the mills for such
points has been a 10000 capacity car
Then. how TO get 10000 pounds on 2U,-
900 capacity car is problem that the ship
per has to solve.
There is still good demand for export
material and some big schedules have been
offered the mills here this week. In fact,
the mills are now experiencing the best
demand for this class of material ever
known in this section. AS pitch pine from
this section is becoming established in for
eign countries and the mills here are be-
coming more and more familiar with for
eign specifications and requirements, thus
giving better satisfaction to the buyers
on the other side. there IS every reason 10
believe that the export feature OF the
lumber business here is permanent one
and will henceforth continue 20 grow het-
ter.
Another rise is reported in the upper
river. which viii bring down another sup
ply of timber assuring the mills a steady
log supply for the entire year

Austin, Texas March ls.--T'he attorney
generals office has been overwhelmed BY
letters OF inquiry on numerous subjects to
defense, been compelled TO issue the fol-
lowing:
To the Public.
Attorney Generals Ofice. Austin, Texas,
March 49, 1S9a.--ThIs department Is crowd
ed With inquiries from constables, justices
of the peace, mayors, city marshals. all
dermen county cierlSs, district clerks, tax
collectors. sherifts, county Judges, county
commissioners and private citizens TO such
an extent that to answer these letters fully
and advise the parties AS therein requested
would require the time of tho entire force
Of this office, and leave nc opportunity
TO attend TO important business for the
s.nye and therefore this department Will
hereafter adhere strictly TO the law con-
corning such matters.
Now. for the benefit OF the public gem
orally, we will state that article 2ss7. Re-
yised Statutes OF 1895. provides that the
attorney general shall counsel with and
advise tho eeyeral district and county at
torncys in the prosecution OF offenses OF all
lctlcns In the district and inferior courts
wherein the State Is Interested whenever
requested by them. He Is also required
by article 1891 to, at the request of the
sVNtluM' OF the neauS oil departments,
give them legal advice IN writing upon
any question touching the public interest
or concerning their official duties but no
Is not required and has no right to inter-
fere In local matters by giving private
citizens and officers not authorized to have
the same, his opinion upon matters in
which the State has no interest. Just
here, the suggestion is made that district
aud county attorneys are required under
article 200. Revised Statutes of 1895 TO
counsel and advise the county officials
throughout their respective counties and
districts. County officials and private cit
liens desiring information should go to
their county and district attorneys. who
will take pleasure in giving the desired
information Again, / wish TO suggest that
county and district attorneys should not
request an opinion from this department
on any matter until they have fully ex-
hausted the means within their reach to
solve the problem themselves. after which
we will take pleasure in cooperating with
them
A strict compliance with this rule must
be adhered to- which will greatly relieve
this department of the numbers and num-
bers Of inquiries daily received, and give
us time TO attend TO important matters
for the State, and II is for this reason
only that this Is given to the public. Re-
spectfully. 7, s. Smith.
