GOES TO BUcoDA.

Frank Stokes left yesterday morn
ing for Bucoda. Washington. to look
after The interests OF the Mutual Lumber
Company, of which firm he is president
Mr. Stokes states that the mill will il
all probability be closed down in the
near future because of the total lack OF
transportation facilities. No cars are
available for shipping lumber and pros
poets no not seem very encouraging to-
ward procuring them for some time to
come. AT present Mr.. Stokes says that
the company has 1875 ears Of lumber
ready for shipment but as no ears can
be obtained the lumber is simply lying
stacked in the yards. 1--WE could easily
use 900 cars il they were to be had"
remarked Mr., Stokes, "as we have that
many orders ahead"
During Mr.. Stokes absence he will con.
fer with the members of th Lumber
Manufacturers Agency and try to solve
the problem of shipping their products ;
The present car shortage may result
says he in the shipping of the company's
lumber to tidcwater where the lumber
will be loaded on vessels.

WEIGHING LUMBER CARS.
Railroads and Lumberm.en Reach An

The matter Of weighing lumber car

the railroads for years, and to cover
which Iaw was passed by the 1905
session u the legislature, which thu

This matter has been q vexed ques.
tion between the railroads and the lum.
bcr shippers for years. Shipments made
in the winter months almost invariably
reach their destination carrying an ad.
ded weight Of from 1000 to 5000 pounds
Of icc and snow accumulated enroute. on
which the miImen were paying freight
in some cases from 40 to 80 cents per
100 pounds. In this way the lumbermcn
lost several thousand dollars annually.

new arrangement The passage Of the
law failed to bring the desired reform
in the matter, but ii il the lumber
mems belief, says Mr.. Beckman, that the
trouble has now been settled through
the proposition Of the Northern Pa
cifc.
When it is considered that the rail
shipments OF the year 1905 were co.
s65 cars. OF which the winter months
furnished only slight PERCENTAGE un-

Another matter Of which the lum.
Der men are at issue with the railroads
j. the weighing Of the stakes and 9th
er appliances used in keeping the load on
the cars. The state law provides that
weight OF 1000 pounds for each car
shall be deducted from the weight on
which the shipper is charged for the
carrying Of his lumber. The railroads
however, have refused to recognize the
jurisdiction of the state in the matter.
claiming that in the case of lumber
shipments TO the Eastern market the
interstate commerce commission is the
regulating body. and case is now up be
fore that commission. The railroads
have offered to compromise the mat.
ter on the basis Of an allowance Of
500 pounds per car, which the lum.
bermen have not yet accepted. One of
the large firms in Minneapolis claims
to have used 100000 feet of clear
lumber for the stakes last year. and
in addition to this paid freight on it
to the railroad companies.--Willapa Har-

CAUGHT In THE ACT.
How a Deputy Game Warden Surprised
a Luckless Pheasant Shooter.

This is what happened to one of
the Benton county game wardens.
There are FIVE of them altogether,
and which it was is not to be told.
He was out looking for lawbreak-
ers. Though hunters don't per-
haps know it, these sleuths are
afeld nearly all the time. listening
for the reports of shotguns and
watching for the smoke from the
pheasant shooters weapon.
One was thus engaged the other
day. He heard a shot. He stow
ed his bicycle hastily in fence cor
ner and slipped noiselessly away in
the direction of the report. By
and by he discerned the law-break-
ing hunter. He craw1ed along the
fence, then through a patch of low
brush. A bird suddenly rose ap-
parently from the grain, and the
hunter again fired. With renewed
excitement over the certainty that
there was a victim for the Justice
of the Peace, the warden resumed
his crawling. After a full hour ot
hard pursuit he suddenly appeared
i directly in front of the hunter. Il
was done SO suddenly and dramat.
ically that it was almost an appari'
ton. 7
And there in the hand of the
guilty hunter was the bird, mute
evidence of the slaughter. But, i
wasn't pheasant, nor any Other
game bird. "It was a nasty, stink
ing timber hawk" meekly confess
ed the warden to his wife, later.
| II was looking for where Smith
lives; can you tell me the way
there?" the warden said to the sup
posed hunter, and by that token ht
fooled the farmer who doesn' know
yet how and why he was pursued
