TIMBER AT GRAYs HARBoR.
Logging situation Has Changed for
the Better.

Special Dispatch TO the Post-Intelligencer.
COSMOPOLIS, March 31.-The logging
situation Is much changed from that OF
the past month which certainly was a
trying one on the mills. About March
there was a log famine, and mills began
bidding, until S6.25 was paid for fir in sew
eral instances and 50 for cedar Beyond a
doubt the mills that paid above $3.50 lost
money or made nothing. The freshet

looms and within ten days the boom COM

greater than the supply, and today the
market is very easy. Fir rules strong yet

while the big camps are moving. but an
investigation shows that within thirty
days the booms will be empty and that a
surplus win not exist
The great Log Shippers Association is
about ready TO ship to the Sound, and a
cut OF 10000 per day can be diverted that
way.
Much buying of timber goes on and
many claims are being sold. No fancy
figures are obtained. Humptulips claims
run from Loo to 800, with many sales.
Claims here are said to average 600 900
feet
Everything points to operations on the
upper Chehalis on large scale, and 20
90. 900 feet will doubtless be cut from
Wynoochee up.
The sale of engines so brisk year ago,
is very slack, and few persons are hunt
ing for timber for immediate purposes Of
logging. while timber is freely offered.
The mills and general Improvement are
employing every man in sight, with many
men needed Cosmopolis alone could give
employment to fully 100 men.

Delinquent Water Consumers Will
Be Summarily Cut Off.
new RENT COLLECTING PLAN.
Users Have Until the Eleventh Day
of Each Month to Pay-If They
Delay They VIII BE Deprived of
Water and Fined S1-Improved
Modelled on Methods of the East.

Consumers who do not pay their water
taxes promptly hereafter will have the
water shut off from their houses and will
have to pay all delinquencies and fine
of 81 before II will be turned on again.
This will be the result of a new system
for the collection of water rates that has
gone into effect at the city hall.
Under the present provisions OF the
city ordinances water rates are supposed
to be paid promptly, but owing to the
complicated method OF keeping the ac-
counts this rule has not been rig.dly en-
forced. However. a new system has been
adopted whereby the business Is much
simplified which will enable the officials
to see that taxes are promptly paid or
that the debtors will suffer.
The keeping of water rent accounts by
this new method has been transferred
from the ONCE of the city treasurer to the
water department. where the ledger will
be kept. Just before the end of every
month the accounts will be transferred in
the form of receipts to the collector in the
treasurer's office, who will have from the
first to the tenth day of each month to
attend to the ratepayers. The latter
must appear with their money between
those days or suffer the consequences.
The receipt books contain the arbi-
trary permanent number assigned to each
piece of property. the amount due, etc,
so that when a consumer appears at the
window with his money all he has to do
Is to call out his number pay the rate,
and the receipt will be handed him at once
There will be no long waiting, as has been
the case through the necessity OF the
clerk having to go through the books
to find out what the applicant owes. but
no matter how many taxes the payer
wishes to pay, he win be accommodated
at once.
When the tenth OF the month comes, the
unpaid receipts will be returned to the
water department, and the next day in
spectors will be sent to turn of the water
at the houses OF the delinquents. This ac-
ton once taken. the consumer must APP
pear at the city hall and pay all delin-
quencies and a fine OF 81 before the water
Will be turned on again.
This system is the immediate result of
the visit of inspection OF Comptroller
Parry to the East last year. While there
he studied the methods of collecting water
rates In some OF the most progressive
cities. and when he returned he prepared
this system. The water department has
bean studying tha problem for years, and
now says that II would be impossible to
find better plan. Some of the large
rental agents. who pay water taxes on
hundreds Of houses. say they can finish
their business Under this system in a few
minutes, when formerly 1t often required
days.
Under the new system the city PRACTICAL
ly keeps an account with each piece of
water-rent-paying property in the city.

NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH.

~.NANAIMO, b. c.. March 31.-Thomas

was at work in a stall when there was
a tremendous fall of coal. covering him
to depth of several feet. 1t was sup

working force of the mine started in
to recover the body After removing
about 100 tons of coal the man was found
alive and well. 1t appears that in falling

such way that an arch. barely large
