ever before-conditions warrant
raise in freight rates, and the increase
in this instance will affect lumber.
Lumbermen have no hesitancy in
stating that when the freight rates go
up the public will have to stand it.
Three or four weeks ago prices fell
Of 81 50 and 81 a thousand on carloads
of odd grade and odd size lumber. Two
weeks ago the market strengthened
again even on this poorer class of stock
and is now holding strong.
Lumbermen do not pretend to say
what the end will be. They declare
they only know the manufacturers
charge them certain price per thou
sand for their lumber, and that they
in turn charge the public proportion
ately. The manufacturers of the coun-
try are now engaged in proving to the
agents of the government investigating
the so-called lumber trust" of the
country that the cost Of manufactur-
ing lumber has increased with them in
every way, from the cost of logs to the
cost of shipping the sawed product
Back of the manufacturers the loggers
today in the Washington and Oregon
camps are paying men $3.50 and $2.75

ers drew on an average S1.60 day.
Millions of acres of the finest forest

west, is held by men like Weyerhauser
Of St. Paul, Walker of Minneapolis
and others, who are nearly doubling
their money year after year by simply
holding their timber, refusing to have
it touched by saw or ak
The situation is extremely cOmplicat-
ed, and Salt Lake and the intermoun-
tain country is in the thick of it. In
nutshell, the present situation here is
as follows-lumber is coming into the
city in fairly good quantities; it is all
coming from the Oregon mills; later
the Portland gateway will be opened
and we will get lumber from both the
Oregon and, Washington mills, and
possibly at a slight decrease in prices
owing to the competition; this section
of the intermountain country particu-
larIy. and the entire west generally
will be confronted by an unparalleled
car shortage this fall and winter; rates
on lumber will be raised and 10 per
cent this fall, and the public will have
to stand the increase.
The local lumber market, II is ex-
pected, will be in about the same con-
ditjon it was last year.

The airing of our grievances to the public
would only make hard feeling between the
men and the companies, and this, OF

New York, Jan 26.Dr. Charles w.

was shot and probably mortally
wounded while In bed in his home at
New Brighton, S. T. early today The
case Is surrounded by q mystery. but
from the meagre details which have
been permitted to leak out BY the otfic-

, the victim of a man who sought ven-
geance for some real or fancied wrong.
That it was not the act Of q burglar
as was first believed, appears to be
borne our b. the fact that not single
article was taken from the house. all
though hundreds of dollars worth of
jewelry and silyerware was within
easy reach. This also is believed to
be horne out by the stories Which have
been told the coroner by both DR..
Townsend and his wife.

county jail Friday from causes un-
known He had been seemingly in the
best Of health during the time Of his
imprisonment, which had been since
Oct 2, and had been by far the most
jovial of the five men. A minute be-
fore he died he reused himself from
the bed in which he mad been lying, a
favorite position, and said TO his cell

His comrades said that during the
time they have known him he has had

indictments. the sentence for which

fys age was 52 He is short and
stocky, of Irish descent, was the prac-
tical member of the gang, as it has
been demonstrated that he did the ac-
tual work in the safe blowing at Saw

car robbery at Britt, Iowa. He is
covered with scars, which lead au-
thorities to believe he had been impli-
lcated in several deals before the one
which led to his arrest. The coroner $

The stomach OF Duffy has been sent
to Grand Forks for official exanina

and the Countess of Yarmouth, moths
er and sister respectively of Harry X.

circulated today despite the denial by

first step TO pacate her mother-in-law
and sister in-law and that Mr. Delmas
only consented to try to smooth over
their misunderstanding on the agree
ment that Miss Mckenzie should dis
continue her appearance in court.
One of the reports in circulation to-
day. dealing with Thaws motive for
shooting Stanford White, was to the
effect that on the night before the
shooting Thaw called on White and ex-
acted from him a promise that he
would never try to communicate with
Evelyn Thaw again 1t was also re-
ported that while at dinner in the Cafe
Martin, four hours before the tragedy.
