Southern Manufacturers.
The lumber business, so far as de-
mand is concerned. is in better condi-
ton now than it has been in January
in years, said Mr.. W. B. Stillwell of
the Southern Pine Company yester-
day. This refers not only to the do
nestle trade, Mr.. StillweI continued,
but also to the export business for
heavy shipments are being made all
over the world and especially to South
Africa and TO Mexico.
The prices, however, according to
Mr.. Stillwell, are not what they should
be, for timber is getting scarcer and
it is costing more to secure it, while
the cost of manufacture also is much
higher than formerly through the in
creased price of the materials needed
in the work.
AS showing the higher cost of lumber
Mr. StillwelI said that timber lands
that five years ago could be bought
for so cents an acre now sell at from
Sc to so an acre. One of the chief ad-
ditional expenses in the cost of manu-
facture is the increased price of steel
rails which now sell for $40 a ton. Mr..
Stillwell thinks it only a question of

The plaintiff is suing for the recov-

of water in the state of Washington,
Medical Lake would long ere this have
been as popular and probably more SO
than even Carlsbad, Virginia Hot

famous health resorts in America or
Europe. And while the Medical Lake
remedies have been on sale in this mar
ket but three months, this marvellous
body of medicinal water in Washington
has been known to the Western people
and to physicians all over the land for
many years past. Some of the most
prominent doctors and scientists in this
country, after having analysed the
waters of this lake, state over their
own signatures that it will rapidly.
without question, become one of the
most popular health resorts in the
world, for the strengthening and cura-
