New York, January 3. 1905
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1906-11-05

A Portland paper reviews the lum-
ber situation in the northwest and on
the entire Pacific coast as follows:
Until the car shortage is relieved
and the embargo lifted on the South
ern Pacific at San Francisco and
Oakland, there will be no reduction
in the price of lumber, which is rap
idly nearing the prohibitive mark.
That is the theory of local millmen.
They say three classes of those who
have to do with the manufacture,
transportation and sale of lumber are
making money as a result of the rap
idly rising market-the logger, whose
expenses are but slightly increased, If
at all, as a result of new conditions;
the owners of steam schooners and
other coastwise vessels, and the retail
dealers at San Francisco.
Millmen say the base price of lum-
ber loaded on the coasters is SIS to
SIC per 1000 feet. Freights are close
to IS a 1000 and many of the cargoes
on arrival at San Francisco are dis
charged from the vessel direct to wait
ing wagons, while the retails dealers
collect for the stuff at s27 and SOS,
giving them a greater profit by far
than the mills obtain.
A year ago freights were steady at
"a, but as cars could not be had and
no lumber was permitted to be hauled
to the stricken territory in any event,
the steam schooner owners saw their
opportunity of reaping a harvest.
When it is taken into consideration
that stockholders in such vessels ad-
nit that they are reaping dividends
which amount to so per cent on the
investment, the services of a mathe-
matician are not required to show the
reason for the unparalleled charges.
Steamers are offered today for So
to San Francisco and sS.75 to San
Pedro. Present quotations on lum-
ber from Portland to the orient
amount to about 50 or $3.50 when
commissions are deducted, so it costs
nearly as much to send lumber to
southern ports from 500 to 1000 miles
away as it does to ship the product
on tramp steamers practically 5000
miles. A steam schooner will nearly
pay for herself in a year on the rul-
ing freights. She will make about 20
round trips between Portland and the
Bay City in that time. and carrier
of even 100000 would pile, up for
her almost her original cost, which
can be estimated at $4,000.

ing the improvements to Boise bar.
racks, says:
Immediately upon his arrival in
Boise yesterday Secretary Taft went
to the post and made an inspection OF
the barracks and troops. As his car
riage entered the gate a salute of II
guns, to which a cabinet officer and
general are entitled, was given.
Accompanied by Captain Dudley In
command of the post, and Governor
Gooding, Secretary Taft made thor
ough inspection of the grounds and
building, after the troops were
marched in review before Mr.. Taft.
While the secretary did not go into
all the buildings he learned of their
condition by numerous questions an
swered by Captain Dudley After the
inspection the secretary spoke very
favorably of the post and agreed with
Captain Dudley that the location Is a
very good one for a squadron post
four troops.
When asked by a reporter as to the
improvements which are to be made
at the post, Mr. Taft said:
Last July 1 set aside $4,000 for
the Improvements of Boise barracks
and I am anxious to get back to
Washington to see why the work has
not been started. But suppose they
are being hard pressed in getting out
plans for other posts and Boise had
to wait her turn.
I'VE will soon tear down the pres
ent buildings and put up a barracks
and all necessary buildings for two
troops Of cavalry. We will make this
at present a two-troop post and en-
large II later as we can"
What do you think Of the troops
here?" the secretary was asked.
They are in good condition and this
is fine, healthy post" was the an
swer.
The buildings authorized by Secre-
tary Taft for construction at the post
are one double set of captains quar-
ters, one double set of lieutenant's
quarters, one double barracks and
one guard house. These will be built
Of brick and will have slate roofs.
The buildings are those for which
allotments have been made by the
secretary of war from the current fis-
cal years appropriations. They form
only a part of the total number that
will be required to complete a post for
headquarters and four troops Of cav
airy.
The buildings will be erected upon
sites heretofore recommended by Ma
jor Turner, but care will be taken not
to interfere at the present time with
any of the buildings at the post.
Secretary Taft left Boise Sunday
morning for Cheyenne.
