ATHLETIC STADIUM.
Will Put 100000 in High School
Adjunct.

Tacoma, Wash. Oct. 22.-By pub
lie subscription Tacoma is raising
100000 for the purpose of erecting
what will be one of the greatest at

Fifty representative business men
are conducting the canvass for the
funds and by noon today half of the
required 100000 had been secured.
The subscriptions are being made in
amounts ranging from $40 to ST.

which stands on an eminence over
looking the sound Near the school
building is a mammoth gulch, form
ing a natural ampitheater.
This is to be transformed into the
proposed stadium and the great ma

The favoring Of the Jim Grow law by

that has existed in the United States
since the war, and which still ex-

That is, that all legislation and up
lifting movements for the benefit OF
the negroes have come from the par
ty of which Mr.. Taft is the candi-
date, while the Democratic party, as

has steadfastly exercised its power
to degrade the negro and deny him
equality with the white man.

DEMOCRATS STILL SHY.
Oregon Bourbons Not Anxious tt
Part With Coin.

Portland Oct. 22.-Two men in
Portland are ready to bet $1,000 at
9 to that Taft is elected and they
say they have $4,000 more to post
up If there is any chance of the
money being covered. To get a loot
at BRYAN coin, they will, under ar
gument, give to l. The betting
fever, however, is not warm, says the
Telegram. At the Republican state
headquarters not a single bet has
been heard of since the campaign
opened and the Democrats are equal
~ shy on this kind of information.
An Eastern commercial traveller
offered to make a bet with promi-
nent tailor on general results this
week. He proposed to take an Or
der for $1,000 worth of cloth. II
Bryan is elected, the tailor should
have the cloth for nothing, but If
Taft is elected the Tailor should
pay for the order. The proposition
was rejected. The commercial trav-
eler was merely betting Bryan's
chances against an order. There are
several $50 suits of clothes wagered
against $25 suits and innumerabla
hats are being posted. In the hat
gamble the Democrats. who want
odds, either want the Republicans
to bet two S. hats against one s.
hat, or they want s. hat bet
against a SO lid.
1t is on Republican majorities in
Oregon that the most small bets are
being put up. These are wagers both
odd and even. depending on the ma
jority involved A $50 bet was made
against a $25 bet that Taft will have
10000 majority in this state. The
man who made the bet Monday was
trying to hedge yesterday to protect
his $50. after talking with prom
inent Republican. who estimated the
Taft majority in Oregon at $4,000.

WEST VIRGINIA
SURE FOR TAFT
NEWS SUPPLIED PRESIDENT
ROOSEVELT PUTS TAFT'S MA
JORITY AT 3O,OOO-DEMOCRATS
WORKING TO SAVE STATE.

New York, Oct. 2-.-"West Vir-
ginia is as Republican as Connecti-
cut, and quite placid about it," is
the way West Virginia Republican
who called upon Chairman Hitch
Geek, of the Republican national
committee, today, described it. His
information supplemented series of
extensive reports from the state
which Mr.. Hitchcock has been gath
ering with a view to deciding wheth-
e" or not the Republican factional
fights have jeopardized the chances
of success Of the national ticket.
West Virginia is, and has been,
doubtful state this fall only accord
ing to report from without her linn
its. Inside the state the Democrats
have never held out any false hopes
to each other. While they insist the
hard fight they are putting up to
carry their state ticket will be sue
cessful they are fling no first, sec
end or even third mortgages upon
West Virginia's seven electoral votes.
So, the persistence of the official
"fggerers'' on the stan of Chairman
Mack at Democratic headquarters in
putting West Virginia In the Demo-
cratic column, or at least putting it
in the doubtful column. can be ex-
planned on no other hypothesis than
that they are trying 70 earn their
salary
Estimating Taft's Plurality
Estimates upon the size Of Mr..
Taft's plurality vary from 10000,
which the Democrats concede. to
10000 the Official Republican esti-
! mate. and 10000, which is the infor-
nation supplied President Roose-
Welt.
Incidentally the situation in West
Virginia affords a line on how the
negro votes will stand on election
day. Taft will get pretty nearly the
solid negro vote In West Virginia
The Democrats have allowed them
selves to tie up to the Jim Crow car
issue for local consumption only.
They estimate that they will draw
many white voters from the Repub-
lican side, more than enough to
make up for the negroes who will
vote the Republican state and ma

Weekly Review Of Trade and Latest
Market Reports. :

r. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review
of Trade says:
Little change appears in the COM
mercial situation, but progress is in
the right direction, insofar as any
difference can be discovered. Recent
gains are maintained In almost every
instance and a few further encourage
ing symptoms appear; notably the
larger forces at work in leading in
'dustries. Wholesale and jobbing
houses prepare for the future most
conservativesy. Mercantile collec-
lions arr irregular, some districts
reporAng fairly prompt settlements,
but at other points payments are
SOW.
Aside from a moderate demand
for prompt shipments of novelties or
special constructions, the primary
market for cotton goods Is dull,
staple lines being almost wholly neg
lected. Purchasers continue to await
lower quotations. Variations in the
raw material have no effect and the
export demand has not improved.
All lines OF woolens have been opened
without arousing- much interest or
giving any definite impression re-
garding the trend of the market.
A fair business In certain lines OF
wool goods has encouraged more ac-
.tivity at some mills, and fancy wors-
teds have sold sufficiently to indicate
that the seasons results would equal
the success OF recent preceding years.

The House of Representative has
set useful precedent in applaudIng
the prayer. In the first place, it was
short; In the second, it was racy;
then, too, 1t was a fairly accurate
definition of what the House wants.
AS custom there would be advan-
tages in general expression of as
sent on such occasions. Disapproval
OF lengthy petition could be shown
by respectful silence; appreciation
could be expressed as the House ex-
pressed 1t. Now and then q respon-

sires to show its approval of the

not go ahead?-Boston Transcript.

More lumber was cut I'm the United
States last year than IN any other
year in its history. The enormous
amount OF 37,55O.736 board feet
was produced, and the mill vaue OF
this was $621, 151,3Ss. In addition.
there were produced IL, .2eo. 900
shingles, valued at $24.155.555. and
S,S12,SO7, 900 lath. valued at SILL
49O,57O. On the whole, IL is safe
to say that the present annual lum-
Der cut of the United States approxi-
mates 40 billion feet, and that the
total mill value of the lumber, lath.
and shingles each year produced 10
not less than s7OO,OOO.0o0. These
figures give some idea of how vast is
the lumber industry and how great
is the demand for it's products.
A glance at the kinds of lumber
produced shows very clearly the
passing of white pine and oak. one
the greatest softwood and the other
the greatest hardwood which the for
est has ever grown. Since 1899 the
cut of white pine has fallen on more
than 40 per cent, while that OF
white oak has fallen off more than
Sc per cent. To-day yellow pine
leads all other woods in amount cut,
while Douglas fir-and this will be
surprise to many-comes second.
Since 1899 the cut of Douglas fir has
increased 1S6 per cent. Louisiana
is the foremost yellow pine State,
with Texas, Mississippi, and Arkan-
sas following in order. Washington
