Councilman Parker supported this
View, followed by Councilman Utzln-

WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.

The recent wonderful accomplish
ments in wireless telegraphy bring to
mind forcibly the value Of electricity.
1t is probable that much work will be
saved by means of this subtle fluid.
There is no limit to its possibilities.
Applied TO material objects, it causes
them to move as with life. while with
out 1t the human body cannot be strong
and healthy. The best means Of filling
the body with vitality, is by the use
OF Hostetter's Stomach Bltters. Lack
Of life in the stomach causes indiges-
tion, dyspepsia, constipation, bilious
ness and malaria. Any Of these symp-
toms means the bitters is needed at
once. Just now. when the seasons are
so variable. it is particularly valuable,
and regular dose will keep the bowels
active and healthy.

TO RUN DOUBLE SHIFTS.
REMARKABLE Pressure of Orders at the
clatsop Mills.

The great rush OF business OF the
Clatsop MN Company Will necessitate
working double shifts within a few
days. Already the 10 employees are
working quar- ter over time, but this is
not sufficient TO meet the requirements
for II has been found necessary to keep
the hundreds OF wheels turning with
out ceasing until the accumulated or
ders shall have been disposed OF.
The opening OF the fruit season in
California creates tremendous de-
mand for boxes and much OF this bus
iness comes to the Clatsop mills. Then,
too, the company Is branching out into
new fields In the East and this business
taxes very heavily the capacity OF the
mills. The eastern business win con-
sist entirely OF best grade consign-
ments. such as spruce sldings for Duild-
ings. railway coaches. etc, shelving,
flooring. rustic and other furnishings
Of that class. Shingles and shocks, too.
will be shipped. as the railroad COM
panies have extended the privilege Of
shipping mixed car lots to points
throughout the Middle West. which en-
ables the mill people to supply the de-
mands Of the smaller class OF buyers
as well as the larger concerns.
In an interview with Mrs. W. S. Kin
ney, manager OF the Clatsop Mil Com
pany, an Astorian representative was
informed that the output OF the mill
thus far this year has been vastly
greater than that for the same period
a year ago. with prospects for even
greater business as the season pro-
crosses.
The mill is rated as a 100000 plant,
but owing to the great volume of
small work the capacity is reduced TO
between 10000 and $1,000. The output
for 1899, of spruce, pine and fir aggre-
gated in the neighborhood of eighteen
million feet. or this. over one-half was
spruce, most of which was converted
into box shocks. For this class of
work, the mill has capacity of 5000
boxes daily, All Of this lumber as
we'll as that worked up into flooring,
rustic, etc, is first seasoned in a huge
dry kiln, which has daily capacity OF
$4,000 feet.
The company obtains all of its spruce
logs from its own lands on the Lewis
and Clark. where they have an al
most inexhaustlble supply, The fir
and some other kinds of logs are pur-
chased on the market. Last year, the
compauy's outlay for logs and towage
alone amounted to over 100000; $7O.-
600 was paid for labor and fully $4,000
more was expended for the cost Of
maintenance and repair of the plant
and incidental expenses. Thus it may
be seen that over 100000 was placed
in circulation in Clatsop county last
year from this institution alone, and to
the energy and business ability of
Mrs, Kipney largely belongs the credit.
