Wisconsin and Minnesota. The opening
of the Union Pacific territory to Puget
sound lumber will tell heavily during the
next year. With such rates as are now
given. and with possible reductions which
are now figured on, the Washington mills
will be able to compete successfully in
markets from which they have heretofore
been excluded, and the increase for the
coming year will doubtless be greater
than 1t has been in the one which is now
passing.
In addition to this outside demand. the
local market for lumber has been the best
ever known; more particularly in Seattle.
where there has been an unprecedented
amount OF building. The building boom
shows no sign of stacking, notwithstand-
ing the unfavorable weather There Is
no reason why it should slacken: for with
all of the new dwellings which have been
erected during the year. the supply has
never kept pace with the demand created
by the new population daily added to the
town, and vacant houses are as few In
number as they were at the commence
ment of the year.
There is no apparent reason TO doubt
that the lumber business will be fully as
active during the coming year as the past,
and IL is quite possible that new mills will
be required to meet the growing demand
caused by the opening of new markets.
Many people have been in doubt as to
whether or not the constitution follows
the flag. The supreme court OF the United
States has at last taken the question In
hand and those doubts will soon be dis
PEELED.
