We hear much about reciprocal de.
murrage these days, and attempts are
being made to pass such bill in the
Oregon legislature. The people have
just grievance from the manner in
which they have been treated by the
railroads in handling freight, but
there are two sides to every question,
A reciprocal demurrage law such as Ia
proposed by the lumber inter ests
would be the means of putting every
small railroad out of business, and
the small roads are doing more to
build up the state than the large
ones. While 1t Ia true that lumber
mills and large concerns shipping i'm
mense quantities of freight want cars
and not demurrage. yet the opportun.
ity would exist for the unscrupulouf
manufacturer, when he found that q
shortage OF cars existed, to order ten
times the cars he needed, when he
knew they could not be supplied, In
order to collect heavy damages. YET
a law that would be just to both sidei
should be passed, but not one that
will make the situation worse than II

MERELY A MASTERPIECE.


Not q "Message" In Lovely Dfotisn
For the Junior Manager.
A man who wanted to lecture called
at bureau presided over by two man
ayers.
He aroused their interest with q lsc-
turer's art says the Lyceumite, but
unfortunately the senior member was
just starting on trip and would not
return for at least month.
The senior partner called the young
man to one side and exacted solemn
promise that he would not visit an
other bureau or read his lecture to
anybody until after he had given this
particular manager reading and q
chance to make him an offer a month
hence.
The interest Of the junior member.
however, was at white heat and he
kept sending for the young lecturer. In
sisting that he come down to the once
and read his lecture. The young man
refused with as much tact as possible,
but this only increased the anxiety Of
the junior
At last the young man told Of the
promise made the senior partner. In.
stead of quietlng the junior manager,
the announcement made him the more
anxious, and finally the young man
consented.

ner said:
Nov, your reading this has saved
us all much valuable time. I'll tell you
frankly, my boy, 1t won't do. There's
no message In it; 1t is loosely construct
ed; the diction is poor. 1t won't do
Burn it and try again."
When the senior partner returned he
called up the young lecturer and sound
ly berated him for breaking faith.
How do l know you have not been
to every bureau In town. You pRomis-
ed me on your honor you would read
the lecture to nobody--not even to my
partner"
The young man protested that he
had not done so.
why exclaimed the senior man
ager, "of course you have! He tells me
that you came down here to the office
two weeks ago and read him the entire
lecture and that he told you It was no
good"
YES" replied the young man; "after
much persuasion did read him q lee
ture which he told me was no good,
but 1t was not my lecture-it was Wen-

The bill that has been proposed In the
legislature to place the state printer
on a fiat salary on the plea that he is
msking too much money out of the
office, is but a shifting of the ques-
tion, without any material advantage
to the state. The best way to settle
the question is to let out the work to
the lowest bidders, dividing the work
in sections, so that any fairly well
equipped office can handle it, and
open competition will put prices
where they belong. In states where
this is done, 1t Is found to be the
most satisfactory and economical.

Timber Supply is Gone.
The following dispatch from Mime
apolis shows the alarming Situation
of the country with regard to timber
supply. The dispatch says:
The big timber mill of the Bovey-
DeLaittre company, located at Cam
den place, thiF city, will cease operat-
ing after two more seasons, accord
ing to the statement of John De-
Laittre president of the company.
"We have now exhausted all our
own timber" said MI. DeLaittre,
"and we will be obliged to shut down
unless we are able to buy timber to
keep us going. There are no pros.
poets at the present time tor securing
logs to keep our mill going for more
than two seasons-at the most three
seasons.
1--WE are now using up few strips
OF timber alnd In the northen part of
this state, but they will not last long.
We are hauling some of the logs
from these isolated pineries dis
tance of Il miles to waterway"
II. Nj. DeLaittre, manager of the
company, said that while definite
plans had not been made regarding
the closing down of the big mill hel e,
at the same time it was expected that
the mill would shut down in very
short time, not exceeding three years.

den place has now been in operation

No Log Drive on the Grand Ronde.

This season for the first time In 90
years there will be no log drive fol-
the Perry sawmills ON the Grand
Ronde river. Hereafter the logs for
the season run will be hauled from
the Blue mountains by trains.
The company now has about 1900,
900 feet in the dam at the mill, which
we're run down during the high water
Of the fall months, but this 10 perhaps
the last drive that will ever be at
tempted on the Grand Ronde river.
For 20 years the annual spring log
drive from the Blue mountains down
the Grand Ronde has been the most
important industrial event In the
mountain districts. Hundreds of
skilled log drivers from all over the
Pacific coast have made Perry and
Hilgard their objective point In the
spring months and for two and three
months braved the waters of the river
in bringing down miles Of. logs for the
big mills at Perry.
Now this WORK will be done by a
railroad train which will be kept in
service every month In the year. The
log road has been built up the river
for 10 miles and will be ,extended ev-
cry season as the supply OF logs be
comes soareer.
A large number of teams are now
employed in banking out the logs at
the dumps along the railroad aud en-
ployment of several hundred men il
still furnished by the logging indus
try In the mountains as well as at the
Perry mill.
The mills will start this year about
February 10, a month earlier than u.s.
ual, because a supply of logs will be
on hand through the operation of the
railroad.

BLOCKADE LIFTED
LATE YESTERDAY

After being tied up since Saturday
night, transfer of trains from the
west was affected late yesterday and
the first mail from Portland came
through. The train that went down
Monday got as far as Shell Rock, but
could not prooeed any farther and
came back Tuesday afternoon. The
passengers we're fed at ;the hotels and
made as comfortable as possible, and
the train again proceeded west yester.
day afternoon.
The locks were closed until late
Tuesday on account of the running ice
in the river, but two boats passed
through and arrived at Hood River in
the evening. Passengers for the east
we're transferred on the boats and
vent as far as Lyle, where they we're
transferred thelnext day. A slide be-
tween here and Mosier Tuesday closed
the railroad east until vest srday.
Mails came through from the east yes
terday forenoon, and western mail
reached here last evening.
While the train was stuck In the
snow Monday and part of Tuesday
two miles this side of Wyeth provis-
IONS ran short, and the trainmen
waded through the drifts to Wyeth
and secured provisions enough to last
until the train was run back. Dan
MeaIs was on the train and remem-
beied seeing a box of bread loaded on
the train by the Royal Bakery at
Hood River, consigned to Cascade
Locks. The trainmen then passed
out the bread and it was soon dispos.
ed Of by the passengers.
There was some Inconvenience, but
no suffering. The passengers made
the most ofthe time In playing cards,
reading and in various ways. A coon
was sighted near the track .and soon
all the guns on the train, consisting
OF severol revolvers and a couple of
shot guns, we're brought out. After
several shots had been fred, manly
the name of Murphy brought down
Mr.. Coon with revolver. He then
waded across a creek and secured his
prize, taking the skin along as a SOU
venir.
Many of the passengers had been
several days ON the road, those from
Spokane having been since Thursday
on the way, and we're getting anxious
to reach their destination, but accept
ed the situation with good grace.
