WILL RAISE PRICE OF logs.
SOUND TIMBERMEx's ASSOCIATION
PROPOSES AN ADVANCE.
Increase VIII. he on Basis of Fifty
Cents Per Thousand and VIII In
cIuae All Grades-Prescnt supply
of 100000 Feet Is Below Normal

Soon after January I next the Puget
Sound Timbermen's Association, compos-
ed of the leading logging firms In this
state. will raise the price of logs TO the
millmen an average of 80 cents per thou-
sand feet BY this action the loggers Will
put in force scale Of prices higher than
ever before in the history of the state
II is the well considered opinion of most
of the loggers that the outlook for the
lumber and shingle industries of the state
of Washington was never so bright as 1t
is today There IL feeling OF confidence
among the operators that the mills OF the
Sound will have a heavier business in
1901 than ever before.
The present scale Of log prices Is as
follows:
For fiooring logs, $3.50 per thousand
feet.
For second grade logs, Sc per thousand
For third grade. or understandable logs,
$3.50 per thousand
1t Is proposed by the Puget Sound Tim
bermens Association to make the price
of flooring logs s. per thousand after jan
uary l. 1901, and to proportionately In
crease the price of the other grades That
the action of the loggers' combine will
be effective is certain, because of the
fact that it's membership includes nearly
20 per cent. of the loggers individual and
corporation, on Puget sound.
One favorable feature of the situation
is the fact that the visible supply of logs
on Puget sound. including the stock held
by the milling concerns. is only $4,000 600
feet. which is about 5,00o.00o feet below
the normal supply The demand Is very
keen at present prices. and II is reported
that in a few cases deals of considerable
size have lately been made at IS per
thousand for best grade of flooring logs.
Many of the larger logging plants In the
state have shut down during the past two
weeks because of stormy weather In
some instances afhe closing of regular
logging operations has been followed by
the inauguration of construction work.
particularly of logging roads. A feature
of the work in the logging camps of the
state during 1901 will be the employment
of steam locomotives of great capacity in
lieu of horses and OK teams.

DAIRYMAN Is CONVICTED.
BOrrG Of Health II Pushed Over
Conflicting Testimony OF Local
and Out-Of-TOwn Milkmen.

+. A. wold an Issaquah rancher and
milk shipper was yesterday convicted OF
vending milk which contained borax and
fined s25 in Justice CAMS court.
Inspector Woodcock and City Chemist
Bogardus testified regarding the seizure
and analysis of the milk Immediately
after 1t had been removed from the bag
gage car in which IT was shipped into
handled by the dairymen to whom 1t was
consigned. The analysis showed, accord
ing to Chemist Bogardus, the presence
OF borax in sufficient quantity to be harm
The defendant, together with his son
and hired man, swore that neither Of
them had ever introduced the preserva-
tive into the milk, nor had 1t been done
with their consent or knowledge. In fact,
Void stated that he did not know of the
existence of a drug called borax.
The officers of the health department
are somewhat mystified regarding the
manner i'm which the drug was introduce
ed into milk shipped into this city. Local
dealers when arrested. almost invariably

quently from the same vessels. In which
1t was received at the depots. leaving
the Inference that the drug had been
introduced by its original handlers.
Several OF the latter have been arrest
ed at the instigation of the board of
health through the sheriff's office. but
each, when arraigned, pleads innocence
of the charge. Meantime the department
analyses are continually revealing the
presence of borax and other preserva-
tives In the milk sold by local dealers
In summing up the case at the bar yes
terday, Justice Cam remarked that, while
he was convinced that the defendant had
not knowingly tolerated the introduction
OF borax into his product. vet he felt
constrained to impose a fine under the
showing made. An appeal was taken to
the superior court.

SOLS RAYS A POTENT REMEDIAL AGENT

Recent experiments indicate that the
sun may be potent remedial agent
in the case OF persons attacked with
smallpox. scarlatina and measles.
These experiments were made by DR..
Finsen OF Copenhagen and DR.. Chati-
Mere OF st. Maude. and SO novel were
they that they have aroused a good
deal of discussion among the members
OF the Academy of Medicine in Paris.
DR.. Chatiniere short time ago treated
twelve children who had measles ac-
cording to this new method, which
is scientifically known as photothera-
pie. Red light was the only cure which
he used. and this he made serviceable
in the following manner: On the win
dows OF the sick rooms he hung red
curtains. and on the table near each
bed he placed lamp which gave forth
red light. He acted thus because
he felt satisfied that the irritation Of
the skin in cases of measles Is due
to the chemical rays of the solar spec
tIum or, In other words. to the ultra
violet rays. and not to the so-cailed
caloric or heat rays. II this were not
SO. how account for the fact that the
postules and scars are especially deep
and marked on the face and hands,
which are the very parts of the body
that are most exposed to the solar
rays? The result showed that he had
not erred in arriving at this conciu-
