puget Sound Mills Asked to Figure on
Order for 25,OOO,OOO Feet.
Seattle, Sept. 4.-Puget Sound mills
have been requested to figure on an or
der for $4,000, 900 feet of lumber for
delivery in China. The order is one
of the largest ever brought to the mills
of this part Of the country, and in
value represents about 81, $780, 900.
The mills furnishing the lumber will
probably have to furnish tonnage.
which will..have the effect of placing
the orders in the hands Of few of the
leading mills instead of a general dis
tribution. The cargo prcie Of lumber
at the present is about $40 per thou
sand. Four years ago the same lum-
Der sold for $14 per thousand.
Local lumbermen decline to divulge
the names of the parties who are plao-
ing the orders, but the report that Chi
ma is in the field for 25,OO0,OO0 feet OF
timber is confirmed by several promi-
nent mill men of Seattle.
The order about to be placed repre-
sents about twenty five cargoes.

ALLIANCE IS DENIED.
No Agreement Between Great North.
ern and Grand Trunk.

St. Paul, Sept. 5.-Robert I. Far.
rington, second vice president of the
Great Northern railway, denies the
rumor that James J. Hill has made an
alliance with the Grand Trunk Pacific.
This, he says, is an old fabrication.
Several months ago a similar rumor
was current in st. Paul, and it was
thought to have originated from the
promoters of the Vancouver, Westm in.
ster and Yukon company. The Great
Northern is the lessee Of this property
and under the bill recently up in the
Canadian parliament has obtained the
right to purchase it.
to suppose that in the event Of the Van.
couver, Westminster and Yukon being
extended to the north, to form a con.
nection with the Grand Trunk Pacific
at a point near Fort Mcleod, the Great
Northern would seek an intimate traffic
agreement with the promoters of the
extension. especially as the mileage of
the proposed extension is said to be less
to Vancouver city than to the proposed
terminus of the Grand Trunk Pacific.
Mr.. Harrington says that under NO
circumstances will Mr.. Hill build
north of Vancouver. Such being the
case it does not seem reasonable to sup.
pose that the Grand Trunk Pacific
would go into an alliance with Mr..
Hill, unless it abandoned the construc
ton of that portion of its lines west of
Fort Mcleod.
With Vancouver as terminus, Mr..
Hill could control the grain situation
of the British Northwest. 1t would
be all shipped to Vancouver, thence to
Seattle, whence it would be consigned
to the Orient in the Hill ships.
If there is any truth in the rumor,
in spite of the denial of the official of
the road, it would seem that the move
of Mr.. Hill is a hostile movement
against the Canadian road rather than
an alliance.

JApS GOT ALL THEY WANTED
Russian Declares Diplomatic Victory
Ridiculous.


Ridiculous.
St. Petersburg, Sept. 4.-"The Jap.
snese consented to the peace terms be-
cause they got all they wanted" said
Prince Wollonsky commenting on the
Portsmouth agreement.
"Stories to the effect that Linevitch
overawed them, that Witte fooled
them, are ridiculous. The south half
of Sakhal island, Korea and Lao
tung peninsula treble Japanese terri
tory. Port Arthur, with Dalny, is the
best possessed by Japan. By returning
Manchuria to China, together with
the Chinese Eastern railway, Japan
will clear Millisrd of roubles $780,
O,OOO). Furthermore, it has secured
valuable fishing and hunting rights in
Siberian waters and much cash under
various headings. Not the least of its
gains is it's preponderating influence in
the far East, to say nothing of it's pres
tige throughout the world.
can these things we have lost, be-
sides much treasure and many lives.
We were we'll equipped for prolonging
the war. We had half q million SOL
diers and abundant supplies already at
the front. Russia would not have
risked losing anything, while it had a
chance to gain everything. Japan
could have gained nothing more and
it had a chance of losing everything.
Whites claim that Russia remains a
great power in the far East is absurd.
Our interest in the far East is gone
forever"
