Sioux City, July 31.-Those who are
figuring on building a house had bet
ter get in the game right away. The
price Of lumber is going to take big
lump and if you wait until fall your
new home Is liable to cost several
hundred dollars more than intended.
The railroads of the northwest have
Just announced that beginning October
l the rate per hundred pounds of lum-
her would be increased 10 cents from
all points on the Pacific coast to all
states east of the Rocky Mountains
and to the Atlantic coast.
In the opinion OF dealers, If this move
Is carried out the price of lumber in
Iowa will advance from two to three
dollars per thousand feet, While the
price of shingles will be increased
twenty or thirty cents.
A circular letter has been received
by local lumber firms from the Pa
cifc Coast Lumber Manufacturers As
sociation of Seattle, and the same let
ter has been sent to the trade all over
the country The letter states that
thru a telegram from President How
ard Elliott of the Northern Pacific,
and thru an announcement from the
traffic manager of the Hartman lines.
the association is informed that be-
ginning October / the rate per hundred
e-yr MI
above.
The letter is in the nature Of an APP
peal to the lumber trade to protest by
all means at their command
against what is termed an outrage.
These letters of protest will count
naught, and in all probability the rail-
roads will increase the rates.
The current issue of the Mississippi
Valley Lumberman has the following
Interview with James ]. Hill, president
OF the Great Northern anent the stu
alton:
Mr.. HILL can you confirm the re-
port of the contemplated advance in
eastbound lumber rates from the west
coast?" asked representative of the
Lumberman of James ]. Hill at his Of
fees in the Great Northern building in
ST. Paul.
Il am not able to do So" said Mr.,
Hill, "as l am not familiar with what
has been done in the matter. But I
can show you the justice OF such an
advance.
Taking a pad of paper and pencil
Mr.. Hill said: at costs I cents a mile
to haul cars between here and the
coast. loaded and unloaded"
You can see that 1t costs us $3.50 to
haul a car to the coast and back. So,
600 pounds is the average load of lum-.
Der, which at 40 cents hundred brings
us 5000. For every car we haul west
empty and back loaded with lumber we
lose $50. The demand for cars on the
coast is at the rate of about 1000 cars
per day. and our average westward
haul of freight is from 500 to 900 cars.

HAPPY RESULTS OBTAINED.
BY the Use of the New Scalp Antisep-

Tt wouldn't take long to number the
hairs in the heads of some people, the
reason being they haven't many to
number In most instances, however,
the fault is their own. A germ at the
root soon plays havoc with the most
luxurant growth and causes it TO fade
and fall out. A remedy for this has
recently been discovered, called New
bros Herpicide, that acts by destroy
ing the germ that does the damage,
besides removing all impurities from
the scalp. In addition it permits new
life and vigor to enter the scalp, and
happy results are sure to be obtained
from its use. Try it. Sold by leading
druggists. Send loo in stamps for
sample to The Herpicide Co, Detroit

sale at all drug stores.

lar energy is expressed in her steel
gun foundries and powder works. In
the gun and cartridge factories at
Toxic and Nagoya over 10000 men
are at work. The capacity of these
factories, and a third plant recently
constructed to the north of Toxic, is
500 guns daily. The shot works in
Toxic alone have an output of 600
shells and shrapne1 for field guns.
Similar intensiveness is exhibited in
the government factories for artillery

Point to Invasion.
do not all these signs point to an
intended invasion? Where could this
be? Certainly not on the Asiatic con-
tinent, for another war with Russia
would not be in the present interests
of Japan. To crush the American
forces in the Philippines would GER
tainly not demand such extensive
preparations, but would indicate some
vast undertaking, which will strain
her SinewS to the utmost. Since Japan
does not consider the moment to
strike opportune, it is the serious duty
of America to lose no time in perfect
ing her defenses and guarding against
a surprise.
1T is our hope that the practical
common sense of the Americans will
provide for this danger as soon as
they fully realize tia danger which
can only be compared to that which
threatened western Europe at the
hand of the crescent.
"As an adequate protection against
invasion by a foreign power, the
union, up to within short time, has
made little provision. 1t was not con-
sidered necessary, for it has been, and
is now, a popular de1usfon, in fact,
by-word, on that side of the ocean,
that the geographical position Of the
United States protects it against any
attempt to land troops, and even in
the event of successful landing, that
no enemy would dare to take chances
with the 10000, 900 citizens of the
union available in time of war 1t is
only recently, however, that military
critics there have dared to express a
doubt, and, as viii be shown, with
good reason, concerning the correct
ness of those Deductions To oppose
a Japanese invading army in Califor-
mia the coast Notifications, In coopera-
ton with the fleet, would have to be
depended upon, and, considering the
long stretch of coast line, would be in
sufficient Fortifications are to be
found in the vicinity of the larger
cities or good harbors, but these pro-
vide for a bombardment seward.
Should a hostile fleet once obtain a
landing for troops at an unprotected
point, and such points are numerous
along the extensive coast une, the
coast Notifications could be easily at
tackled from the rear and would in q
short time be at the mercy Of the
enemy"
