LUMBER
WINS CONTEST
Lofty Pine Trees of North
Supply First Materials to
Build in the Canal Zone
CONTRACT rs AWARDED
Wharves and Houses Soon to
Be Built at Western End
of Continental Waterway

Admiral Walker of the Panama
Canal Commission cabled yesterday to
4the Bellingham Bay Improvement
company has been awarded the con-
tract for supplying 2,o2S, 900 feet Of Ore
gon pine lumber for the interoceanic
waterway at Panama. This is regard
ed as a triumph for a Pacific Coast
concern over Eastern rivals. In addi-
tion to the Bellingham Bay Improve
ment Company there were bids SUBJ
mitted by the Texas and Georgia in
terests represented by the East Coast
Lumber Company. powerful and
large combination.
The award is considered a favorable
sign that the Pacific Coast will be re-
garded favorably by the Panama Canal
Commission In the making Of contracts
for needed supplies. The lumber to be
furnished by the Bellingham Bay COM
pany is valued at about $4,000. Much
larger orders will undoubtedly be
placed before many months have
passed.
The first consignment of lumber is to
be used in the construction of houses
and wharves at Ancon, the Pacific
Coast end of the canal zone. There is
a considerable demand for tin1bers as
long as 32 feet, which can be used for
the Gaping of wharves. The provision
for house lumber indicates that no
time will be lost by the Panama Canal
Commission in providing accommoda-
tions on the Pacific Coast end of the
canal for the engineers and others who
are to have charge of the construction
work.
The contract includes a clause max
ing it obligatory that the first Install
ment of the lumber shall be shipped to
Ancon not later than twenty days after
the award The entire lot must be for
warded within fifty days from signing
of contract. The Kosnos Steamship
line will be the carriers.

Two OF the long overdue ships have
arrived at their ports of destination
and those who played them not to ar
rive have lost The Rosalia dali,
which has been out for the unusually
long period of 157 days from New
Caledonia to Delaware Breakwater,
suddenly appeared in port. Gains,
head winds and other unfavorable
weather delayed her. The reinsurance
was 8 per cent.
The British ship Andreta, another
overdue, arrived at Falmouth, Eng
land, from Sydney. Australia. She was
out III days-a trip that is usually
made in from 100 TO 120 days. Her
rates Of reinsurance arose from 10 to
so per cent, so sure were the specu-
lators that she had foundered some
where on the ocean. Her appearance
yesterday at Falmouth, even after her
owners had lost all hopes Of her safety,
was q surprise 10 them and a disap-
pointments 10 others who played on
her possible destruction.
The Andreta sailed from Sydney
January 20 and ten days later encoun-
tered a gale that almost finished her.
The vessel was thrown on her beam
ends and lay with the starboard rail
under water for twenty-four hours. To
right the ship the captain cut away
the fore topmast which falling over
board carried the main topmast with
il. In her half-wrecked condition the
vessel put back to Sydney. The fore
mast, which was found to have been
sprung in the storm, was taken out
and repaired. The Andreta sailed again
April 10 and going round the Horn
struck another spell of bad weather.
in her weakened state but little sail
could be carried. She finally worried
out Of the belt Of storms and under
short canvas literally crawled to her
home port
The German ship Sirene is yet out
with an increased reinsurance Of S5
per cent. She is las days from Liver
pool 10 Valparaiso.
