Build the Pacific Cable.

It is reported that President McKin-
ley in his next message to congress
will lay much stress on the need fol-
a cable line across the Pacific and will
again ask congress to authorize the
laying of such a cable. In further
ance of this plan surveys are already
being made for the purpose of ascer-
tanning the most feasible routes from
the Hawaiian islands to the Philip
pines. The surveys between the form
er island and San Francisco had been
previously made, and it is not neces.
sary to have that portion of the route
gone over again.
So long as the United States shall
exercise authority in the Philippines
direct cable communication with
those islands is of great Importance to
the government. But aside from such
need there should be cable line across
the Pacific touching at Honolulu and
connecting the United States with
Asiatic countries, in the interest OF
trade development and ation.
Authorization of the Pacific cable pro-
ject should be one of the early acts OF
the new congress. -Olympian.

The Grays Harbor Logs.

The efforts of some of the Grays
Harbor loggers to haul logs by rail to
Olympia for the Puget Sound market
will be watched with interest by log
gers throughout the state as we'll as
mill men. There is no doubt but the
Grays Harbor log input is larger than
the actual demand, = but the question
is whether the experiment will pay OF
not. That is something time alone
will tell. If it does pay, the heaviest
demand will be for spruce, which is
scarce on the Sound and in good de-
mand at all times. Puget Sound
Lumberman.
II is not likely that the Grays Har-
Dor loggers will find, it very profitable
to ship their logs to the Sound for
several reasons. The fir of that Sec
ton is not SO fine grained as the Sound
growth and the lumber brings less in
the markets. The railroad charge for
hauling is $3.50 per thousand, and
this does not leave the Chehalis log
ger much profit. There is not much
danger of their logs cutting much
figure in logging conditions and prices
on the Sound.

The Steamship Laurada Wrecked.

The Laurada, in which S. G. Simp-
son and A. H. Anderson are largely
interested, sprung leak and was
beached on S.. George Island, on her
trip to St. Michael. She left Seattle
Sept. 18th, heavily loaded, and en-
countered heavy weather. Part of the
cargo of lumber was left at Metlakahtla
and the steamer proceeded on her
voyage, until she sprung a leak on the
9th, and the water gained on the
pumps 60 rapidly that the captain
made for the first land, Bleaching the
vessel, with no loss of life, although
much of the cargo will be loss.
The Laurada has had checkered ca
reer. She was famous as a Cuban fill
buster. AS such she piled in Cuban
waters with impunity for two years or
more Immediately preceding the war
between the United States and Spain.
Several times she was seized, and was
finally sold at marshals sale in Phila-
delphia. Shortly after this the Boston
& Alaska Transportation Company,
now defunct, purchased the Laurada
for the Alaskan trade. She was brought
around the Horn, arriving at Seattle q
year ago last May. She made one
trip to st. Michael for the Boston &
Alaska Transportation Company and
was seized at the mouth of the Yukon
for whisky smuggling and subsequent
ly sold at a marshal's sale. This was
about January l, of the present year,
the purchaser being the Seattle Steam
ship Company, in which Sol. G. Simp-
son, F. A. Bell, A. III. Anderson and
other Seattle men are heavy stockhold-
ers.
The vessel was built in England in
1864. Her gross tonnage was 1907,
and her net tonnage $685. length, 23O
feet; beam, 30 feet. The Seattle
Steamship Company spent about $685.
600 in repairing the .Laurada. When
she left Seattle she had a cargo of l 200
tons, valued at about $125,0OO. Ed
ward R. Dunn, Cape Nome miner,
was perhaps the heaviest individual
shipper. He had aboard the vessel
about thirty head of choice beeves,
over 100 head of sheep and twenty
tons of provisions and miners sup
plies, all told valued at perhaps $780,
600. Simpson 4 Co. had probably 800
tons of general merchandise unsigned
to their Cape Nome store.

IF any Coast lumberman has

If any Coast lumberman has any
influence with the officials of the Bur
lington Route he should use it to Sc
cure the extension of that system to
this section. This year has again
demonstrated the inability of the roads
now here to handle the lumber and
single traffic. The Burlington is and
always has been caterer to the lum-
Der trade. It's asserted that when
the wholesale trade of Chicago was in
its prime the Burlington hauled ninety
per cent of the lumber out of that
city. If it could be brought to this
Coast the lumber trade would receive
an impetus that no other cause could
create. It is already over half way
here, and should be encouraged. -

When our Timber Goes.


The question of how long the forests
of the Pacific Northwest will survive
at the present rate of denudation is
agitating the minds of many persons
just now, and all sorts OF prognostica-
tions are being freely, almost reckless
", launched upon the public. There
is no doubt that present logging
methods in certain sections amount
to little less than determination, but
it is also true that vast timber belts
exist which have not yet been touch
ed, hence it naturally follows that all
calculations upon this important SUBJ
ject must necessarily fall far short Of
one esscnt..i point, viz, accuracy.
Authorities differ to remarkable
degree, some estimating ten years,
Others twenty. still others fifty years,
as the extreme limit when the famed
forests bordering on Puget Sound shall
cease to lie known, except as the dis
tricts logged shall bear mute testi-
mony II l.ainer greatness.
Hetsac state OF Michigan predictions
were frs'l made ten years ago that
another sbt lie would see the finish ci
numbering opt rations in that section,
when as y matter Of fact it is now con-
fidently expected that still another ten
years will lie required ere the great
lumber industry of that state shall
have received its quietus.
As frce-for-all guessing contest
this question offers many attractions
but viewed II N, any other standpoint
the deducsiuns made must be consid-
ered Of little value. Time alone will
demonstrate the lasting qualities Of
our forests. One result however, Of
this agitation, which may prove 81
much benefit, is the increased atten.
ton directed to modern methods Of
forestry by reason Of the commendable
work Of the department. Of agriculture

ready made and now under way will

Burlington and U. P. Coming.

The story of the intention of the
Burlington to build to the Sound is
revived by M. S. Burns, a Salt Lake
capitalist, who says the officials o: the
road have verified the rumor. He
adds that the Union Pacific is also
looking toward the Sound and intends
through the O. r. & N. to build north
from Portland. Mr.. Burns said to q
Seattle reporter:
"A few days ago the Burlington let
the contract for an extension of its
line from Talooka, Mont, to Cody,
Wy. The contract provides that this
new line be completed within eight
months, and on good authority learn
the work will he Begin as soon after
the new year as is possible. This will
not conclude the Burlington's con-
struction work. For the past thirty
days the road has had q corps of en-
gineers in the field making surveys for
line from Cody, Wy, to Salt Lake
City, passing southwark along the
western border Of Yellowstone Nation
al park, and down the west shore Of
the lake. This will open up vast
stretch Of country, fertile and thickly
settled.
'sThis will be really branch line
but will be operated on through line
system, with junction at Talooka,
The westward branch, which, it il
said, will be surveyed early next year,
will 60 west from Cody, wy. to some
point near Baker, City, Ore. and then
northwest to the Sound. There il
every assurance, from the engineers
now in the field, that this will be done
just as soon IS their Utah extension
lie completed. The survey Of this line
vest TO the coast will occupy several
month";. but by the beginning Of 1901
viii probably Be in such shape thai
construction work can Be- begun. =
