Of LUMBER
WILL SOAR THIS
SUMMER
Jobbers Are Buying Heavily
in Advance ALI Products
of Northern Mills.

A report Is current that Northern
white pine manufacturers are contem-
plating another advance in prices Of
lumber to have them fit market con-
ditions. In other words the l.mber
men claim the buyers are forcing the
prices upward.
Light stocks at all the northern
lumber manufacturing points are said
to be responsible for present condi-
tons. No sales of Importance have
been made for some days past for
the reason that the manufacturers
claims their stock to be so well sold
that they have little or nothing to
offer until the summer saving sea-
son is again we'll underway. Even
when this happens some of the mau-
ufacturers will not be in the market
for the reason they have made ad-
vance sales of their production in
about every grade.
AS tending to show the condition
of the market. 1t is claimed that an
Eastern buyers within the last two
weeks visited mill in the northern
part of Minnesota In search of stock
to go East by way Of the lakes. He
saw the immense pile of logs that had
accumulated at the mill, hauled there
by rail and without asking for quota
tions. made a blanket offer of $24.5O
per thousand feet for all the No.
and better lumber that the mill would
saw during this season. That price
Is said to be more than IS per thou
sand higher than the same stock net
ted the mill man year ago.
Another instance is cited where an
Eastern buyer visited a Northern
Wisconsin mill and made an offer
Tor the entire stock of certain grade
of lumber. and when the management
demurred the buyer made straight
offer of IS per thousand feet above
the list price for the entire output
of the mill this season.
These two instances, one in North
ern Minnesota and the other in North
ern Wisconsin are referred to as ex-
amples of the tendency of the market.
Z They are said to indicate also that

entire cut of mill for 1906 at figures
above the list price is not looking
for any material reduction of lumber
prices in 1907.
Lumber shipments among the North
ern white pine manufacturers in
February are said to show a gain Of
Al per cent as compared with the
movement in the same month year
ago, or a gain of 80 per cent for Jan
uary AID February over the same two
months In 1905. This increase is not
Ell with stocks short and the assort-
ment much poorer than year ago.
Basing its prediction on the re-
ports that have been received from
building centers all over the country.
the American Lumberman says the
building records for the winter of
1905-1906 will be difficult to equal in
years to come, that not only have peo-
pie been in the mood to build and
financially able to do so, but opera
lions have been enlarged and increas-
ed by exceptionally favorable weather.
There has been no severe weather
to lay staying hand on workers and
men have gnrally been able to put in
full time. Attention is also called to
the seeming mania to tear down, to
reconstruct and to plan and carry out
new buildings Of every description.
Business houses want larger and bet
ter accommodations. People who rent
demand houses and improved quarters
with every convenience, while the
home owner and builder Is improving
his quarters.
Weather conditions have been more
favorable to the loggers during the
past week. Tho cold snap is claimed
to have been the salvation of a great
many of the small contractors. Good
hauling has been had for the past ten
days and indications are that condi-
lions will continue favorable for haul
ing for another week. Cold weather
another week would be an immense
advantage to the Northern loggers.

A suit for $4,000 damages for the

its contents at Cass Lake by the ex-
plosion of an acetylene gas plant has
been started by liver Void, the ssf-
viving partner of the firm Of Rvard

plosion rendering injuries to Rivard
from which he never recovered. The
suit is directed against the ]. B. Colt
company, manufacturer Of actyelene
gas plants. 1t has been carried to the
federal court and the attorneys for
the defendants have now made mo-
ton that the service Of the summons
be set aside on the grounds that the

and has no agent in this state. The
motion will be argued at st. Paul on

Conductor Flynn's Scheme.


Conductor Sargent of the Northern
Pacific is authority for one of the lat

Leaped From Hotel When Proprietor

Tried to Enter Her Apartments.
The sensational damage suit insti-
tuted by Mrs.. Mary Jensen against
Robert scholfield, proprietor of the
Commercial hotel at Bottineau, has
been completed in the district court
at that place and the plaintiff has
been awarded damages in the sum of
$4,000.
Mrs. Jensen sued to recover dam
ages for injuries she received in
jumping out of second story win
down in the Commercial hotel in that
city, of which the defendant is the
proprietor. The plaintiff alleged that
she was frightened into making the
leap on account of an effort that Mr..
Scholfield made to get into her room
at midnight on Oct. 10, 1905. She
alleged that she had never recovered
from the injuries received. The jury
rendered a verdict for the full
amount asked for by the plaintiff.
Attorneys Tyler and Woodward of
Omemee and A. G. Burr of Bottineau
appeared for the plaintiff.

RESOURCEFUL ARIZONA
The Far West Territory Rich in For.
ests, Minerals and Fertile Sell.

Arizona has the largest and most
valuable forest in the United States
probably the largest unbroken forest
area in the world, covering ten thod-
sand square miles. She has the larg-
est tract of agricultural land west of
Kansas, and, with the completion of
the Tonic reservoir Cthe largest artifi-
cial lake In the world), will have I'M
der cultivation, with ample water. as
much land as is farmed in all Southern
California from the Fehachepi to San
Diego.
The investigations of the Govern
ment reclamation service have shown
that, in spite of the tradition of her i'm
penetrable mountains and barren des-
erts, nearly one-half the land in Ari-
IONA is capable of cultivation, and with
water would be immensely productive.
Various water storage projects will,
in tins, create rich and valuable farm
ing districts in regious now given over
almost wholly to grazing or mining;
but the utmost now projected will
leave great areas still unreclaimed-
and to be reclaimed only by some
means now unforeseen, as, IN the
beautiful valley below the town IF
Naco on the Ell Paso & Southwest
ern railroad, a constantly enlarging
tract is irrigated with the water that
is pumped from mine some miles
distant. and the resulting farm is one
of the finest in the territory.
The .nderflow water of Arizona is
practically unknown and undeveloped,
and, it may be hoped, will play no
small part in the agricultural develop
ment of the future.
Some people still have faith in mir
acles. Fargo man advertised for an
umbrella he left in street car
