DEMAND FOR LUMBER.

Advanced.

Another slight advance has been
made in lumber the past few days.
1t affects the eight inch lumber
only and the advance was $I.oo
on a thousand. The demand in
the east for lumber has caused the
lumber mills in northern Idaho to
run at their full capacity and sew

shifts in short time. The Hum
bird Lumber company, of Sand
point has full night force on its
three double band saws and the
kootenai mill, owned by the Hum
birds, will have a night force it is
said, in short time. The Hope
mill at Hope, is contemplating
putting night force to work, SC
as to keep up with the orders that
are piling in, and the mill of the
Bonners Ferry Lumber company
will also put on night force in a
couple of weeks. The shingle mills

WON'T PAY TOTAL LOSSES.
Board of Fire Underwriters
at San Francisco.
50 COMPANIES IN DEAL.
But Other Concerns Intend to
Pay Dollar For Dollar.

Upward of so insurance companies
who lost In the San Francisco fire are
said to be delaying and quibbllng
over adjustments, and have not only
announced their intention Of paying
only 75 per cent and only one third
or one half down but have raised the
rate in various states Of the Pacific
coast and northwest. Those whose
property was lost in the destruction
OF the city, many of whom were rem
dered destitute, have been waiting
for their insurance money and are
growing impatient. They have been
paying premiums for years to secure
the protection which is now being
Withheld from them on one pretext or
another.
The companies which have joined
In a compact and adopted the policy
of curtailing payments are said to he
keeping their identity secret from
the public. They are reported to
have raised their rates in all the Pa
clfic states, including Idaho, but ex-
cepting Washington. In comment
ing on this Portland paper says the
city of Portland contributed $500, 600
to the San Francisco sufferers while
Seattle gave $75, 900 and Tacoma less.
Now the Oregon metropolis is called
upon to pay higher rate of insurance
while the Puget Sound cities which
donated less are required to pay only
the old scale.
1t Is believed that the dishonesty
of the companies in declining to pay
the losses In their entirety, on the
one hand, and their impoitic method
of reimbnrsing their depleted treasur.
; les by raising the rate, ON the other
! hand, will ruin them when it becomes
known what companies are in The
deal. They will he exposed before
+, the world.
J On June Is, thirty-two other In.
surance companies met in Oakland,
, Calf, and organized to be independ.
ent of the fire underwriters bureau
and decided to pay dollar for dollar
for their losses from the fire. The
companies who voted the cut of 2:
per cent were not admitted to the
meeting.

The Idaho companies will leave
their stations on the morning OF
August 10 and will start home on
the morning of August al. 1t will
take the southern companies two
days and night, and the northern
companies a day and a night to
make the trip each way.
Two years ago the Idaho regi.
ment was the best equipped COM
mand at the encampment, not ex.
cepting the Tenth and Nineteenth
United States infantry, says the
Statesman. There is no regiment
on this coast better or more COM
pletely equipped than the Idaho
regiment. They have the new
brown tents for officers and men,
and enough to equip about 1900
men.
Specific camping orders not
having been received from the de.
partment commander, it is NOT
definitely known what kind OF an
encampment il. is to be, but the
rumor is that it will be camp Of
instruction and not one devoted
entirely to the solution of war
problems in which the men do an
immense amount of marching and
absorb very little information.
The encampment promises to be
most enjoyable and inexpensive
summer outing for all who are for
tunate enough to participate in it.

There was more or less of a tempest
in Il teapot this week over the ru-
inored resignation OF the secretary of
agriculture. 1t was said that the
president was dissatisfied with the
part the department Of agriculture
had played in the beef investigation,
and that Secretary Wilson was to lose
his place. Now the rumor as to the
impending shakeup in the bureau of
animal industry is probably we'll
founded. But as to the story of de-
capitating the secretary Of agricul-
ture for the sins Of his suhordnates,
there Is very little IN it,
1t will be noticed with great deal
of regret that the senate this week
passed the bill providing for an ex-
tension of the time during which the
cattle may be transported on the rail
roads without food or water. The
present law provides that the cattle
going to market may be held on the
same train for % hours without food
or water. This is bad enough. Bur
the new law proposes to extend the
time to SO hours and after vigorous
fight the cattle men have gained
their point. The cattle without the
interposltion of the house, or of the
president with Il veto, have before
them a prolongation Of their terrible
suffering.
Al echo of the army canteen fight
was heard in the debate on the Sun
day civil bill when a special provision
was made that the appropriation
should not 90 to any soldiers home
where canteen was established or
where there was beer sold in the post
exchange. Nearly all of the mem-
bcrs of both houses drink, most OF
them moderately, scarcely any i'm
moderately. Nearly all Of them are
and were opposed to the abolition OF
the canteen. But they did not have
the moral courage to vote for the bill
which all the friends of the soldier
recognized was good thing and
which saves sixty per cent OF the
crime and mlsdemeanors that occur
among the enlisted men.

NOT AGAINST COODINC.
Idaho County Republicans Merely
Staid by Old Custom.

The Capital News of last Satur-
day came out with some alleged
matter from Grangeville in which
it was represented that the republi-
can county committee had defeat
ed resolution indorsing "the
administration of Governor Good
ing, the state ADMINISTRATION and the
land board"
But, however that may be, the
facts Of the matter, as shown by a
private letter from Grangeville,
are that a resolution was intro
duced indorsing the state officials,
the county officials, the state land
board and Senator Hepburn.
Attention was called to the fact
that it had been the consistent
policy Of the county committee not
to pass such resolutions. 1t ap-
pears to have been the long stand
ing rule of the committee OF that
county to refrain from adopting
resolutions of Endorsement for any
body. When this had been brought
out the resolution was permitted to
lie upon the table.
There were four county officials
sitting as members of the commit
tee. If that action constituted
refusal to indorse the governor, it
likewise constituted a refusal to
indorse everybody else embraced
in the scope of the resolution, in
cluding those county officials sitting
as members of the committee.
The fact is that the resolution
was not acted upon for the reason
stated, and it is also fact that the
county is for the governors renom-
ination. Boise Statesman.

NECESSITY FOR SPRAYING.
Successful orchardists Are the Most
Faithful in Treating the
Trees.

The farm journals have been ad-
vising farmers for many years to
adopt spraying as a means of controll-
ing the fungous and insect pests that
destroy the crops in their orchards.
Slowly about all our orchardists
have come into line, but as yet there
are good many farmers with small
orchards that are taking their chances
with the apple scab and other pests.
We do not believe that it will be pos
sible, says the Farmers Review, to
get the very best results with
spraying till we have induced every
man that has an orchard to take meas
ures to protect that orchard from the
pests that assail 1t from the time the
buds begin to swell in the spring till
the leaves fall in the autumn. We have
watched the practice of spraying since
the process came into vogue and are
sure that it is a process that the
farmer cannot afford to ignore. II
every farmer will take up the study
and practice of spraying in earnest,
the fruit crop of this country will be
enormously increased thereby.

GAVE THE RIGHT ANSWER.
How the Late John Hay Displayed
His Aptitude for the
Law,

When the late Secretary Hay applied
for admission to the bar at Illinois he was
summoned TO appear before committee
OF prominent Chicago lawyers to be ex.
amined as to his qualifications, relates the
American Spectator.
He went to the place appointed and
found the committee assembled; but for
long time they took no notice of the
young candidate, but continued TO talk Wig.
orously together on various subjects. At
last one OF the lawyers, turning to him,
said:
Mr.. Hay, what would you do if a client
should come to you with such a case as
this and he proceeded TO describe very
deliberately a complicated legal case.
Il should ask for retaining fee of $50 !"
promptly replied Mr.. Hay, and tell him
to call tomorrow"
Mr. Hay you are admitted" said the
gentleman, and with hearty laugh from
all present the proceedings closed.
Some people are more skinned against
