WANT TIMBER TARIFF
Industry Is Dependent Upon
Retention of Duty.

eff the duty on timber is tax
en- off, in response to the de-
mands of some Eastern theorists,
the timber industry of the North
west will be paralyzed and every
mill and logging camp will be
shut down." said W. G. Howell,
tim berland owner of Portland,
in a recent interview.
"The So a thousand duty rep
resents the profits on its manu-
facture, and it can be easily seen
that men are not going to manu-
facture lumber without some
profit. Should the So be taken
off, Canadian lumber will swamp
the markets Of the East, and, as
there will be none shipped from
the United States to foreign
countries, the woods of Oregon
and Washington will be given
over to solitude, as they were
before the advent of the whites
into Oregon.
THAT there is danger of lum-
ber being placed on the free list
is evident from the sentiment
among the Eastern consumers
who are demanding legislation
on the tariff, at the next session
of Congress. 1t therefore be-
hooves every manufacturer of
lumber and every owner of a log
ging camp in the Northwest to
be on the alert to avert the ca
lamity threatened.
"Of course we. all want the
tariff revised, but none of us
want our particular material to
be affected. I am not in favor
of removing the tariff from any
article which, if placed on the
free list, will tend to close down
our factories or reduce the wages
of our workers. / am even will
ing to pay SO cents sack on
sugar, that the trust demands,
rather than have the industry
injured, even if we should be at
the mercy of trust"

You should, because "Stark Trees Bear
Fruit the kind of fruit that brings the

Stark Delicious Apple
is wondrous success, and solely
on its genuine merit is the most
talked of apple today. This is what
one OF the greatest commission
houses in the country says of it,
Last year we secured one carload of Del
icious from Washington and placed them
in small lots in Chicago and large Eastern
cities at 40 per cent more in price than 9TH
er varieties we handled at that time. Who
ever had them last year, have repeatedly
asked for them this year before our supply
arrived. This year we are selling Delicious
at SO per cent more than Jonathan, Grimes
Golden, Rome Beauty, Alexander, etc.
They are just what particular people want
in fine table apple, being neither too sweet
nor too sour, fine locker and have good
keeping qualities. We unhesitatingly say we
consider it the best all round apple, espec-
tally for table use, and in our estimation
Delicious should head the list of all apples.

They were ac' commodated, and then they said that they only wanted to borrow the clothing to be photographed in. The storekeeper was disappointed. but he was game and added a good cigar to the equipment of each. When the pictures were delivered the men re- fused to accept them because their red vests didn't show up. and now the storekeeper and the photographer are both sore.

 MIDWAY ISLAND

Bill Hosklns, the we'll known guide and hunter who left Juneau over a month ago on small sloop for Van couyer, was wrecked on Midway Island near surndum during the fierce storm encountered about three weeks ago. and is now on the beach repair ing the damage to his boat, says the Dispatch. The storm blew the sails to shreds and rendered the boat help less in the heavy sea. Hosklns did everything to keep her off the beach, but his efforts were useless, for the boat was driven ashore and the side smashed in. Hoskins remained on the island with the damaged boat for two weeks before he was sighted by some fishermen. Word was brought to this city by the Fox that Hoskins would continue his journey to Van cOuyer after securing another supply of provisions.

Three sabbaths Each Week In Tanglo

Three sabbaths Each Week In Tansler.
 Morocco is a country of many Sab' baths. The first three days I spent in Tangier were all Sabbaths. Arriving on a Thursday night, the next day was Friday, the Mohammedan Sabbath, which was followed by the Jewish sabbath-the Hebrew element in Tan gler Is considerable and strict fin re- llglous observance-and that in turn by the Christian Sunday. Subsequent comparison, however, revealed little difference between any days of the week. On Khc Mohammedan Sabbath a blacl, flag Is holsted on the minarets at the prayer of dawn, Instead of the white flag that announces the time of devotions on other days. It remains up until the middle of the forenoon, by which time everybody is supposed to have found out what day it is.- New York Post.
