NEW LUMBER CENTER.
Two Mills Building and Three Under
Consideration at Dallas.


Consideration at Dallas.
Dsllas-Though situated in the midst
of splendid fruitraising and hopgrow-
ing territory, Dallas promises to become
great lumber center as we'll. In ad-
dition to the Cone mill, now being
built, and the Nap mill, which will be
remodeled, three more propositions are
now before the business interests of the
city for consideration.
Plans for the remodeling Of the Nap
mill are completed. The mill will be
rebuilt several hundred feet west of the
present location, and enlarged to 60,-
000-foot plant. A pond will be excs-
vated between the "Y" tracks of the
Falls City railroad and will be ted with
water from the same source as the Cone
mill.
The Cone pond is completed, and the
superstructure of the mill under cover
The saving frames and carriage trucks
are being put in place and everything
indicates the early completion of the
plant.
Every house in Dallas is occupied,
and new cottages are springing up in
every quarter. The common comment
Of all newcomers is that Dallas is q
beautiful town and has the finest court.
house lawn in the state. Although
the Lewis and Clark fair is said tc
have drained the valley of all the stray
change, the merchants say trade il
good.

Ruxs 1000 Lambs.

Prineville-- Stockmen here are still
commenting on the sale recently Of
1000 lambs by Williamson & Gesner
to the Baldwin Sheep & Land COM
pany. at 50 80 per head. Such large
sale at this time of the year is consid-
cred as remarkable, particularly when
the price is such a good one. In the
spring there would be nothing extra
ordinary about the transfer. That such
large band should be transferred just
as the feeding season is coming on, and
at good figure. is taken to mean that
there are indications somewhere a
good price for both mutton and wool
next spring.

and Shortage is Expected.
While several of the loggers
in the Lower Columbia river district
are under contract to deliver logs at
$3.50 per thousand until the first of
the year, the others have advanced the
price for fir logs to So and few sales
are said to have been made at figures

vance in. price, the demand is excellent
and the logs are being taken as fast as
they are put in tide water. A number
Of the larger logging companies will
close down their camps for at Least a
month or six weeks as soon as the
heavy rains set in and as, with the
single exception of the Eastern &
Western Lumber company, none OF the
mills have large supply of logs on
hand, shortage is looked for before
the end of the winter season.
Notwithstanding the advance in the
price of FIR logs, spruce is still selling
at about 81.
