tracts to have ehectually put stop
to operations in the woods in some
districts until there il good freeze

timber over frozen grounds, Gays the
Brainerd Tribune.
In q number of localities where it
was expected to start camps by this
time or by the last of the month, the
ground Is still practically under wat.
or. Under such conditions the con.
tractors cannot work to advantage
with teams, owing to the soft condi.
tion of the earth, even if they were
able to get men who would not object
to working where there ls an excess Of
water. This latter phase of the ques.
ton is one not easy of solution. for
j7st as soon as the woodsmen learn
that the locality about the camp 10
pretty wet they keep away from It
and seek jots in CAMPS on higher and
dryer ground.
The wet condition viii not affect

nish l'gs do not intend to get into
the woods to any extent before the

who will be hindered the most IN
their plans. Where plans have been
made to get early to work in order to
make the winter output as large %
possible the present delay works q
hardship to the contractors and they
will welcome froet iu the ground.
While yet rather too early to predict
the extent of the winters operations
In the woods, the lumbermen are
guessing" that tho log output will
be somewhat heavier this winter than
last. excepting, of course, the weather
conditions are not unfsvorable.
Last winter tho lumbermen set ont
with the svowed purpose of curtailine
the log crop to steady and stiAen:
prices. They succeeded beyond their
utmost sxpectstions. and the s,enti:.
ment among them this fall seems to
be in favor Of . lsraer output Of logo
this winter to meet the increasing de.
mand for the manufactured. product.
Lumber brings high prices for even
the poorest grade this fall, and 1t is
likely that there will be q good mar
ket next spring and summer. with no
necessity for curtailing OF holding
back he log crop to maintain prices.

Insane Again.

Yesterday afternoon J. o. Perkins
was arrested by Marshal Coffman on
a charge of insanity and turned over
to the sheriff's office for safe keeping.
Perkins was committed to the state
insane asylum last March and was re-
Gently discharged as cured. He re-
turned to Umatilla county and during
the past few days he has been acting
strangely. Perkins had resided on the
reservation several years and for a
time drank heavily. Before being ex-
amined as to his sanity last spring
Perkins was wandering about the
country, armed with a revolver and
threatening to shoot all whom he be-
lieved to be mis- enemies. A brother,
James Perkins, resides in Colfax AMI
is a banker and prominent citizen of
that place.-Pendleton Tribune.

Right and Left Handed.

Scientists have come to the conclu-
sion that the left hand can do any
thing which the right hand can do, for
it is all a matter of training. One
should be able to write, to use table
knife or a razor, to button shoes or
manipulate a cravat with the left hand
as we'll as with the right.
A fancy marksman knows no differ
ence between his right hand and his
left. A left handed swordsman has
been known to defeat a superior an
tagonist simply because he could fight
with his left hand and the other could
not. Surgeons find that In difficult op-
erations it often becomes essential to
success to use scalpel, scissors and
needle with either hand, and students
Of surgery have been known to master
the difficulty in years time. 1t Is all
a matter of habit, tradition and preju-
dice without foundation In the nature
of things. POSSIBLY some hairy ances-
tor with a crippled left arm held his
store Of cocoanuts on that side and
pelted the foe with his right only. This
was initiated by his initiative offspring
and the right hand custom thus be-
oueathed to posterity.

Give Slot Machines Rest.

Fear of action by the grand jury has
prompted several cigar stores in the
city to take out their slot machines
until after the sitting Of that body.
1t is believed that action was
prompted by the fact that officials who
have allowed the slot machines to re-
main without molestation would be
called before the grand jury, and not
because the owners of cigar stores are
in any fear of being arrested them
selves:
1t is not believed that the removal OF
the machines will be at all general as
a number of saloons and cigar stores
believe that if a case were brought TO
trial the legality of the machines
would be established. and they are
ready to wage a fight if necessary
Up to the present time one judge OF
King county has pronounced the use
of slot machines to be in open violation
of the state law, but this is the only
judicial opinion that has so far been
rendered on the observation-disclosures

"CLOSED SEASON" WAS PRO-
vIDED FOR BY THE LAST
LEGISLATURE.
Fish Men Say Law Is Imperfect and
Not Well Timed-They Make
Objections.

For the first time in the history of
the state of Washington it is unlawful
to eat crabs, particularly the Dunge-
ness variety, which is found in the
waters of Puget sound. 1t is stated
that the supply of crabs is becoming
depleted, and the last legislature
passed an act making a CLOSED sea-
SON. from July 1 to October 1, during
the time when the breeding season is
at its height.
1t is claimed that the crab cannery
which was established at Blaine
a few years ago, and which operated
for three years, had much to with de-
pleting the supply of Sound crabs,
consuming during the time it was in
operation between 10000 and 10000
crabs per day. However, it is stated
that owing to the fact that the crabs
are rapid breeders, it will take but a
few years, with the closed seasons, to
renew the supply to such an extent
that it will be safe to repeal the law
which mas just gone into effect.
The fish men say that the law is
imperfect and the closed season not
we'll timed" says an exchange. THE
reasons for passage of the law for the
protection of crabs are not generally
known. Everybody believed there
were plenty of crabs-they cost two
for a quarter on the water front,
piping hot from the boiling kettles.
No signs of distress had ever been is
sued from the haunts of the crab, who
is known to students Of marine life
as an earnest and insistent disciple
of President Roosevelt's views on race
suicide. For these and other reasons,
the Graz eaters could not and do not
to this day, understand why a meddle-
some legislature should step in and
put the ban on one of the prime food
products of the deep blue sea-"
1t is claimed, however, that mis-
take was made in the time for the
closed season, which should have been
from June 1 to September 1, as by the
later date the breeding season is prac-
tically over.

Freioht Rates Reduced.

New freight rates to San Francisco
via the water route nave been an
nounced by the San Francisco & Port
land Steamship company, and shippers
are iubilant. This will enable them
to ship to San Francisco and compete
with dealers there, as San Francisco
merchants are doing here. The new
rate makes a difference in charges OF
from 10 to Al per cent. AS result
of this, travelling men will be put into
California to drum up trade, and this
will mean more traffic for the steam
ers. The eventuality OF this VIII IN

other steamer on the route before
