by local lumbermen from the East,
which are regarded as authentic, are
to the effect that as result of the

Coast Lumber manufacturer Associa
ton and the officials of the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific and
Union Pacific railroads. the lumber
men of the Coast will be granted a

that a large additional force of clerks
is employed in the Eastern offices at
this time preparing new schedule of
