JEWS ARE PRAISED.
Episcopal Bishop Lauds Them or
Their Stand Against Divorce.

Washington, April 20.-"The Jews
are preserving the home and family
better than we Christians are doing
| do not know how to account for this,
but do know it to be a fact"
Bishop Satterlee Of the Episcopal
church made this declaration in ser
mon here Sunday night, in which the
subject of his discourse was divorce,
The men, said the bishop, are losing
respect for the home and caring less
for the family, the unit of our civil
cation.
On the shoulders of the husbands
and fathers of the land, he continued
rests the responsibility for the low
state to which the family has fallen
in this country. Man fosters and en-
courages the greatest curse of the age
the divorce and that loose manner
in which the sacred VOWS are being
kept.
1.-THE dread evil-the most frightfu
danger-of our age is divorce and the
breaking down of the family institu
tion," said the bishop. IF it is moi
stopped the women Of this country and
our race will be degraded within 81
years"

Tacoma, Wash. April 2l.-Further
advances in prices for several kinds of
lumber have been announced, as the
result of the meeting of the Pacific
Lumber Manufacturers association.
The advances are believed to presage
an advance in other lines, owing to the
heavy demand for material all over
the west, and particularly in the north.
west. The association practically in.
cludes all the large shipping, mills of
western Washington and some in Ore.
gon, and its price schedules are lived
up to.
A decided advance of several dol.
lars per thousand was made in car sid.
ing and roofing. No. sash grain floor
ing was put up 81 per thousand feet
and No. l fir porch decking and cell.
ing was advanced 81 per thousand. A
raise of 81 per thousand was made in
first grade stepping material, and fir
windmill stock was advanced 81 per
thousand. Battens were also put up
SO cents per thousand. Otherwise there
was no material change made in the
old schedule. The general feeling
seemed to prevail that conditions were
improving, and better things were in
prospect for the lumber trade. This
advance will affect all dealers in the
state.
The association failed to approve
and adopt the price schedule prepared
| by the special commission on the mat
ter in Tacoma the week previous. The
effort made by number of the larger
concerns to raise the price of timbers
and railroad ties to closely approx
mate these prevailing in Oregon sue
ceeded only partially, raise of Of
cents per 1000 feet only being made
on ties, Bridge stringers were listed
and added to the schedule. The propo
sition for decided advance on ties
and timbers met with opposition from
the smaller mills, whose cooperation
would be necessary to the success OF
any advance in prices.

GRAND JUNCTION.

Colorado Real Estate News, pub
i'hed at Denver, has this to say of
Grand Junction. which il from its
regular correspondent: 1.-The outlook
for Grand Junction is extremely
bright. Many new buildings are now
in course of erection as well as a
number of fine residences. Work on
the new high school building is pro-
crossing nicely The new smelter is
being rapidly pushed towards compile
tion. Plans for new passenger de-
pot have been submitted and the new
depot will doubtless soon be erected.
The full capacity of the Grand
Junction sugar plant will be tested
during the season of 1904, as arrange
ments are now being made for the
growing of large acreage of sugar
beets.
Last year was record breaker so
far as the tonnage of fruit is concern
ed, and this year bids fair to surpass
last years output.
The Chamber of Commerce has a
membership of 1874, and is still grow
ing Realty is changing hands to a
limited extent. and the city's growth
is substantial and steady.
The Unaweep mines are improving
with depth and much ore is being
stored awaiting the completion of the
Grand Junction smalter.

ing without every thing we needed.
When was first married my salary
was $50 a month.
My mother n-law, who lived with
us, decided to save enough out of my
salary to build us "a home.
When the cellar was finished. be-
came i'll and lost my position, and had
to mortgage the cellar to make my
first payment.
The taxes, interest on mortgage and
monthly payments on house were now
three times the amount of my earn
ings.
Although we went without food for
thirty days the first year. we never
mis- 'ed a monthly payment.
However. by dispensing with the
services of a doctor. we lost our father
and mother in law, which so reduced
our expenses that we were able to pay
FOR the parlor floor ana windows.
In ten years seven of our nine chill
dren died. possibly owing to our diet
of excelsior and prunes.
l only mention these little things
to show how we were helped in saw
ing for a home.
L wore the same overcoat for fifteen
years. and was then able to build the
front porch. which you see at the
right of the front door.
Now. at the age of 81. my wife and
feel sure we can own our comfortable
home in about ten years and live q
few weeks 70 enjoy it.
