WILL ADVANCE LUMBER.
Fifty Cents to 81 Per Thousand, In
Effect August 10.

Spokane, August AT meeting
OF the Western Pine Shippers asso-
ciation held yesterday In the office of
Secretary r. A. Kellogg about 25
members, for the most part from out
of Spokane. were in attendance.
The principal action of the associa-
tlon, perhaps, was the recommenda-
tlon by the committee on values OF
an increase in prices, ranging from
so cents 1000 on the inferior grades
Of lumber to 81 a 1000 on the best
grades. The secretary may be In
structed In the near future to Issue a
list of lumber grades, and the pro-
posed change in price in each instance
for adoption, to take effect August 10,
by the members of the association. II
that Is done. however. 1t will rest with
the different individual companies
whether or not the schedule is adopt
ed.
The reason assigned by the COM
mittee for recommending the increase
In prices is that the stocks on hand in
all of the mills is very short at the
present time, that for the last year the
companies have been selling at
very low profit, and that the general
business conditions of the country
warrant such rise as will give the
lumbermen an opportunity to make
greater profit on their output The
rise, If 1t is adopted, will affect only
eastern buyers, the local prices re-
naming the same as they are at
present.
H. c. Wood, E. Cartier Van Dissel
and John O'Brien were appointed
committee to draft uniform sched-
ule of weights upon which to figure
lumber for shipping, to report at the
next quarterly meeting of the associa-
tion.
The matter of whether or not the
association will Join the national lum-
bermen's association, with headquar-
ters in st. Louis. was referred to the
secretary. The matter was not voted
upon yesterday, for the reason that a
two-thirds vote of all the members
of the association is required before
the body may join the national organ
ization, and there we're not that ma
jority present at yesterdays meeting.

NORTHWESTERN is BUSY.

Charles j. Gray, of the Northwestern
System, on Tour of the Inland
Empire.
1.-THE heaviest traffic ever enjoyed"
Is the way Charles ]. Gray, travelling
freight and passenger agent of the
Northwestern railroad. expresses II
when speaking of the business being
done by his system this year.
Mr.. Gray travels constantly over
the northwestern states and is in close
touch with conditions everywhere,
and says that immense shipments of
farm produce, livestock and fruit will
be sent out of the northwest this sea-
son. The Lewis and Clark fair travel
has been all that the most sanguine
passenger agent expected. and the
heaviest rush is yet to come, during
the last two months of the fair. Very
few people from the northwest states
of Idaho, Oregon and Washington
have visited the fair yet.

NEW TELEPHONE LINE.
Prairie City People Dissatisfied With
Present Service.

LICOChI oCENiCC.
On accopnt of the wretched service
afforded by the telephone company
operating in Grant county, the Prairie
City Miner says there is a movement
to organize company for the purpose
of constructing and operating an in
dependent telephone system. The
matter has been agitated and the ex-
preston seems to be unanimous that
such a project ought and will receive
the hearty and enthusiastic co-opera-
ton of not only the business interests
here but the farmers up and down
the valley.
The telephone service in this part
of the state and particularly at this
point has proven SO unsatisfactory
ing a company and conducting their
own system. The plan of the pro-
moters is to not only interest the town
people but to run the line into the
country so as to enable every ranch
to be in connection with telephone
service.
The plans as now outlined are to
connect Prairie City, John Day and
Canyon City and to run service lines
to the ranches between these places.
1t is further the intention to extend
the line up the valley to the springs
and will not only afford many sheep
men the opportunity of transacting
much of their business by wire but all
the ranches can connect up.
When the independent line is or
ganized in the valley 1t can be con-
nected with an Independent line now
extending from Boise to Spokane via
Baker City.
The people of this part of the state
are forced by the conditions which
prevail to take this step, says the
Miner. The present line which is op-
Grated by the Pacific States company
is for all practical purposes no line
at all and 1t is maintained by about
the same policy as would be pursued
by a bunch of school boys.
The present company is operating
in this town without leave or franchise
and just as soon as the proposed
company can get under headway It
is the purpose to order the Pacific
States company to move out.
Monte Gwinn, who s. one of the
most extensive woolgrowers in Ore
gon, and who makes his headquarters
at Boise, Idaho, where he has sub
stantial interests, stated to the Miner
that Independent lines operating at
Boise and the surrounding country are
giving complete satisfaction. A line
was built out from Boise tapping a
rural district and was built by COM
pany composed of farmers. The
original cost to the subscribers was
about $50 and the service now costs
them $3.50 year Mr.. Gwinn states
that the rural Independent line has
been so successful that the farmers
would be extremely loath to lart with
It.
Parties are now figuring on the cost
of material and the expenses of in
stalling and when the estimates are
prepared a meeting will be called and
the plans submitted to the townspeo-
pie and the people Of the valley.

"How do / know what Is broken on

how he knew what was broken when
an accident happened on locomotive.
A breakdown occurred on the west

discussed.

HUNTERS, SPARE THE PHEASANT
Birds From the Famous Davenport
Pens, Turned Loose.

George Geaney, residing on Dry
creek, six miles north of the city, has
purchased two pairs of Chinese pheas-
ants from the pens of the famous car
toonist, Homer Davenport, says the
Walla Walla Union. Mr.. Davenport
has a duplicate of his noted New Jer-
sey farm at the Lewis and Clark ex-
position. 1t was from these pens that
Mr.. Geaney bought his pheasants,
paying s12 per pair. He wishes to in
crease his flock and will turn them
loose on his farm and hopes that all
persons will desist from shooting the
beautiful birds of which there are
none finer In the United States.
If these birds are spared the game
grounds will In a few years be stock
ed with pheasants that are considered
one of the delicious delicacies.

Deer Not Protected,

attorneys for Interpretation and they

heur and Baker. True, this status Of
the game law was the result of care
lessness on the part of the law-mak-
ers and it was thought at first that
the statute could be so construed as
to include the counties mentioned by
implication, but after submitting the
matter for legal advice 1t was tha
substance of the best opinion that
deer were left unprotected.

When Heney Lanccs the Boil.
Condor Globe.

A few newspapers in Oregon seem
disposed, to the best of their ability
which is not gigantic--to "roast" "
one Francis j. Heney. who has been
designated by the president to prose
cute the land fraud cases in Oregon
and other Pacific coast states Mr..
l,eny seems to have accepted his com
uission.in the same spirit in which
President Roosevelt rendered it to
him, which means that he under
stands that all rasCals are to be prose
cuted to the full extent of the law
without regard to their age, politics. or
public office. OF course it is a darned
shame that any president or any pros
ecuting attorney should have the i'm
pudenCo to undertake to interfere with
tho hitherto undisputed prerogative
of these dearly beloved public ser
wants (Y) of robbing the people every
chance they got or could make and
We must not even wonder at the dis
consulate walls of these party blind,
boss controlled seryile sheets, Not
being personally acquainted with Mr..
Heney we are not in position to as
sert that he is wingless angel, of
spotless purity and dazzling whiteness
but, accepting the general newspaper
reports that he shows earmarks of be-
ing devil of bright lawyer we
would prefer to assert that the angel
role does not suit him perfectly.
However, it is not angels so much as
intelligent, honest, fearless prosecu-
tors which are needed in Oregon Just
now and for our part we are willing
to lot Heney hold his job until the
bitter end 1t always hurts like bla2es

Tearing Down the old Buildings.

N. ID. Sanford, who was in the city
last Thursday from Cascade Locks,
says the government Is tearing down
the old buildings which have stood
unused so long at the Cascade Locks.
A peculiar thing about the removal
of these buildings, is the fact that the
men In charge of the work are not
permitted to dispose Of the lumber
or material to private parties. Mr..
Sanford says anoyne could afford TO
give $500 for the buildings and re-
moved them for the good lumber
there IL in them. Some of the mater.
ial Is being saved for the construc-
tion of other buildings for the govern
ment at the Locks.
Mr.. Sanford says tho country about
Cascade Locks would be first class for
dairy ranches. Grass keeps green
there all the year round. While the
farming lands about the Locks are
not extensive, there are several good
tracts there which could be utilized
for growing farm and garden truck
to profit for the owner. Nearly 100
men are employed In the Wind River
saw mill at this point. As conse-
quence the stores of Cascade Locks
have to import large amount of pro
duce each year, which might just as
well DO raised almost within the town
itself.
Cascade Locks went dry at the re-
cent prohibition election, and two
saloons will have to go out of bust

COMPLETE SURVEY
FOR new DITCH

= Ditch affairs with the recently or
ganized irrigation district On West
Side have a roseate hue, and the far
mers naturally feel like rejoicing.
Mr.. Shoemaker informs the Glacier
that estimates on the cost of construc-
tion are expected in few days, and
that soon thereafter a special election
will be called for vote on the quea-
tion of bond issue.
Between Green Point and the farm
ing lands Of the district it is estimated
ed that from 1000 1900 inches Of water
can be secured by the farmers. This
should be ample for several years to
come. 1t has already been noted that
after lands are irrigated a couple Of
years it requires less water, and that
the low lands have more than enough
water from the seepage.

Looked Like a kidnapping.


For an hour or more last Thursday
night there was every appearance that
the two children Of Mr. aud Mrs. S.
l.. Young had peen kidnapped. 1t
was rather a trying experience, to
say the least. Mr.. and Mrs. Young
returned from the country shortly af-
ter 8 o'clock, and on arriving at their
home, their little girl and boy, five
aud three years old, we're missing.
1t was soon learned that the chill
dren had been seen up the street in
company with a man. Mr.. Young
rushed to the depot and was told that
the man and children had been seen
there. This made things look like a
kidnapping, and word was at once
sent to officers at The Dalles to search
the train as it arrived in that city.
Mrs. Young collapsed in a faint.
Another report came in that the mar
was still in town. Starting up IT,
street Mr.. Young found a Mr.. Cook
of Mount Hood walking leisuerly along
with the children. The father knock
ed the man down at once. Cool
scrambled to his feet and disappeared
so quickly that Young was unable to
deliver second blow.
Cook might have meant no harm in
his work, but Mr.. Young had suffered
anguish in the thought that his chill
dren had been stolen from him. and
was in no mood to ask questions. "Ii
| could have only hit him again, re-
marked Mr.. Young, che would have
felt good and sore this morning. "
