Despondent Over Death Of Husband
Woman browns Herself.
Oakland. April 1.--Despondent over
the death OF her husband six months
ago, Mrs. Barbara Page Of 5751 Vallejo
street committed suicide some time
this afternoon by drowning In Tenn
escal creek. near the EmeryvIIle race
track.
Mrs. Page disappeared from her
home about o'clock this morning.
During the forenoon her grandson,
named Lindblom, appealed to J. G. CO.
burn. town clerk at Emeryville, asking
him to aid in search for the aged
woman. Young Lindblom stated that
he feared his grandmother was de-
mented and that she might end her
life.
A number OF persons at once began
search and the aged woman's foot
steps were soon traced to the creek,
where her dead body was found al
noon. The water at this point, owing
to the recent heavy rains, is about ten
feet deep.
Mrs. Pages story is a sad one, About
six months ago the husband died. leav
ing the family nothing but the cot
tae on Vallejo street. For several
months she has been seeking to secure
a pension, her husband having been a
Grand Array man. Only few weeks
ago she stated to Mr.. Coburn Of En-
eryvIlle that unless relief arrived soon
she and her grandchildren would be
destitute. Page had resided in Emery
vile for many years and was a highly
respected citizen. The family had q
large circle OF acquaintances here and
across the bay. The coroner has taken
charge of the case.

OF NORTHWEST
DEMAND BETTER RATES

cents, which will enable them to lay
down their product In Kansas City
and Omaha and other great packing
centers of the Missouri river country
where enormous numbers OF boxes are
used, ut a price that win prove re-
mnnerative.
TIE present rate Of so cents to the
100 pounds on fir from western ter
minals to Missouri river points Is al
SO held TO act almost IN prohibitivn
manner and makes any attempt to in
wade the Missouri territory perilous
and commercially untenable. A 40
cent rate is wanted, which is the same
as at present obatins at st. Paul.
Such a rate, manufacturers say, win
ena BILE them to run fir into the Mis-
souri, river cities on competitive ba-
sis with the yellow pine from the
south. The southern pine enjoys the
extremely low rate of 22 cents a hum
dred pounds from southern terminals
to the Missouri river points, but its
greater weight adds to the competitive
handicap it will have to overcome In
its struggle for supremacy with the
western fir. The manufacturers feel
that this is one Of the greatest issues
that have come up affecting lumber
ing interests in long time.
II the box shocks are admitted to
the Missouri river territory on a 40
cent basis It will enable mills in Wash
ington to Immediately feature this end
Of their business, and spruce and hem
lock timber, which are now going beg
ging practically in the state, will come
into positive demand, resulting in a
very considerable expansion Of the
milling industry.
There will be no attempt at present
to secure a cut on the cedar rate Of
so cents a hundred to Missouri river
points, as the lumber men frankly con-
fess they will be gratifed to get the
reduction on fir.

ANOTHER PULP DECISION.
Rossed Pulp Wood is Announced Duty
Free as Paper Stock.

Rossed Pulp Wood Is Announced Duty
Free as Paper Stock.
New York, April 1.-Another pulp
decision of interest to paper manufac-
turers has been handed down by the
board OF United States general ap-
praisers which declares that rossed
pulp wood is free OF duty as paper
stock. This case has involved more
labor than any other that has come
before the board for a long time, on
account of the bitter fight made by the
paper manufacturing companies which
have rossing plants in the United
states 20 keep out the Canadian rossed
wood.
Rossed pulp wood is spruce or pop
lar, cut into logs about two feet long
and with the bark and roughness re-
moved by a mechanical process called
rossing This is done in Canada for
economy for transportation and logs in
this condltlnon are ready to so direct
into the grinders.
Acting under the direction of the Sec
retary of the treasury the customs
officials have been, until the present
time classifying the wood as "blocks
or sticks, rough hewn," at 20 per cent.

Tacoma, April 1.-The lumbermen Of
the northwest have taken the initiative
in movement for lower rate on fir
from western transcontlnental terrnin-
Missouri river points. The box men Of
cIfic Coast Lumber Manufacturers As
sociation has held meeting here TO
consi1er the matter, and next Tuesday
the Southwestern Washington Lumber
Manufacturers Association will hold a
meeting at Napavine to take UP the
same question. II is the intention that
both associations shall act In harmony
and in concert. To this end joint
committee representing both associa-
tons will be sent to st. Paul to inter-
view President Elliott. Of the North
ern Pacific, and President James J.
Hill. Of the Great Northern. The Pa
cihc Coast Association has empowered
President Griggs, OF the association,
to act for 1t in the selection Of the
personnel of the committee. He stated
this afternoon that he would not an
nounce the names Of the committee for
week or more.
Another important thing the COM
mittee will take up with the heads Of
the two great roads will be the re-
duction Of the present rates on box
shocks from western terminals to
Missouri river oints. The box men of
the state are vitality interested in this
issue. as Of late, on account of an in
creased production Of shocks by the
mills OF Southern oregon and OF CAL
iforEia, a great deal Of the vast trade
in this commodity among the fruit
men Of California has been wrested
from the mills OF the state. The pres
mt rate on box shocks from western
terminals to Missouri river points Is
