Lumber Outlook.

The panic of year ago is now only
a memory. The result of the election
leads to the conclusion that if there
was good reason for a large volume
of trade in 1907, there is the same
reason for large volume of trade in
1909. The natural lassitude resulting
from the presidential campaign no
longer has reason for existence. I'M
provements have been delayed during
the past year. The consuming public
was never better able to buy and
build than now. Prices are at point
that should make buying attractive.
They are almost certain to advance
after the first of the year, if not be.
fore. Stocks in the hands of retailers
are low and at the mills they are not
large. Money is plentiful and cheap.
All of these things argue for an i'm
provement in trade which will be felt
at once, to some extent, and which
will become more and more evident
after the first of the year and with
the approach of spring. He must be
a decided pessimist who can present
arguments potent enough to convince
even himself that the outlook for lum-
Der is not bright.-Mississippi Valley

A Plate Heater.

For use in the buffers pantry to keep
dishes and food hot a very convenient
little heater has been designed on the
order Of those seen in hotel restau-
rants. The only difference is in the
size, the family heater being consider
ably smaller, just large enough to hold
couple Of plates or small platter.
The heater is made to attach to either
the gas jet or an electric wire, and 1t
can be regulated to any temperature
desired. For breakfast this will be

toast or in maintaining the high tenn

I'm WYOMING"
Great Comedy-Drama Of American
Ranch Life at the Grand Next
Sunday Night.


No play of the great west ever pre-
sented upon the stage has achieved
the enormous success of "In Wyom-
ing," which comes to the Grand the
ater, Sunday, November 16.
No drama SO true in cor structive
progress; so life-like in emotional fl
deity so deep in pathos, and so rich
in quaint humor has been given to the
public in many years. City after city
has fallen captive to it's destinations,
and countless audiences have been
half spell-bound by the witchery of
it's homely truth. In the title role,
Mr.. Willard Mack has found the most
emphatically suitable medium for his
remarkable talents since his appear
ance upon the stage. The accuracy
of his portrayal, together with the
native ability he brings to his work,
have united in producing an entirely
new conception of pure American
drama. The unanimous approval of
the press and the unstinted apprecia-
ton of the public has resulted in a
eulogy unique in dramatic annals,
which attest the worth of this extra
ordinary offering.

WHEN EMpTYIN0 THE PAN.

water is conducted into the interior of
the receptacle by means Of series Of
channels which carry the drippings to
an inlet at one edge. At this point on
the circular side walls of the can there
is also handle by which 1t is pulled
from its resting place and carried to
the point Of emptying. Under the ham
die there are also other openings to ia
cilitate the precipitating Of the con-
tents, but in order that 1t may not
overflow at this point they are covered
with a hood Of the same metal Of
which the pan is made. In transport
ing this receptacle from point to point,
as is necessary, 1t is carried by the
handle in precisely the same manner
as a gripsack This enables the pan
to be made larger than those Of the
type in use at present because Of its
greater convenience, 1t being possible
to carry a greater burden in this way.
Any woman will recognize the conven-
fence Of this innovation and will Won
der that the idea was never worked
out before.

SINGLE INSPECTION.
SHIPPERS Association Request Miii'
men to Keep Representative at
Minnesota Transfer.

SEATTLE. Nov. 10.-To eliminate

ISOLATION is trying to induce the mill
men to appoint an inspector to work
at the transfer.
For some time the wholesalers have
maintained an inspection bureau d
the transfer. About three months
ago the retailers also put man there
to work with the wholesaler. Yetthe'
mill men, according to the wholesalers
have occasionally found fault with
the findings of the inspections OF these
two men.
F. d. Becker, secretary OF the "a
cific Coast Shippers Association Is
at present trying, through the Shlngle
Mills Bureau, to induce the mill men
to send representative to the trans
fer tn work with the wholesaler and
retailers.
1.-The present SYSTEM" said MIR.
Becker, yesterday, probably does not
look fair to the shippers, as they have
no one in the east to look directly al
ter their interests. However, we
have urged them to appoint someone
to be present when the inspections
are made at Minneapolis. AS a re-
enumeration for this mans services, l
have suggested that he be paid 20
cents per bunch for each bunch IN
spected, and as there are seldom more
than two punches for each car, the
cost would be about 80 cents, which is
little enough. If the shingles are off
grade the mill must stand the cost .of
Inspection, but if the stock is all right
the party making the complaint must
pay the cost.
"The trustees of the Pacific Coast
Shippers Association take the posi-
ton that it is advisable that the ship
pers be represented when the inspec-
lions are made so that there can be
no complaint of partiality."
In addition to having a shippers in
spector at the transfer, the Pacific
Coast Shippers Association would
like to see single inspection bureau
established in the northwest, along
the same lines as that to be established
on lumber by the Pacific Coast Lum-
Der Manufacturers Association.

Because the Herald ridiculed the
idea of Aberdeen property having
doubled in value over night, by rea-
son of the election of Taft, the World
discovers that we grudge the ma
ton and this realty owner this pros
perity. The discovery could only
have been made by mind smaller
than we had expected to find at the
editorial desk Of the evening paper.
Prosperity, or confidence, can no
more be made by publishing lot of
false reports than it can by the fiat
Of legislation. A prosperity found
ed upon untruth is very short lived,
and an undesirable brand of the
article.

Bridge Swinging.

The inconvenience to travel by the
swinging hf the Heron street bridge is
becoming unbearable, and is full time
tnat the city council and chamber OF
commerce take up the subject of re-
lief. AS the bridge is conducted at
present, the rights of travel over it
is apparently regarded at all times as
secondary to the traffic through it.
The bridge is frequently swung from
five to twenty minutes before the YES
sci reaches it, and no start is made to
close the structure until the boat has
passed entirely through, causing an
Unnecessary delay to land traffic of
from ten to twenty minutes. Mean.
while, pedestrians, teams and street
cars are held up, at a loss of time
more than equal to the cost of the
bridge annually.
We believe that if the matter was
taken up with the U. S. engineer in
charge of this district, the city would
be permitted to regulate the opening
of the bridge, SO that this mosquito
heet-which uses the Wishkah river
most-would be obliged to place their
jackstaffs and smoke stacks on hinges,
so they could pass under. A regula-
ton providing that the bridge should
not open between IL and 1915, and
1916 and p. m. would save many
mill workers from either going with
out dinner or being late at work.

Refrigerator DRAIN.
The Operation Of Emptyins II Cannot
Be Attended by Disaster,

The blessings which come to us
through the advancement Of knowledge
| and science are never unmixed with
their penalties. Take the refrigerator,
! for instance. 1t Is a comfort and q
convenience which has taken such a
deep rooted hold on us that it is now
necessity, and, no matter how humble
| 1t may be, there Is no home without
refrigerator. But a nuisance attend
ing it is the matter Of emptying the
drip pan, which must he done at regu-
lar intervals, and because Of the neces-
sarily fiat shape OF this receptacle so
that 1t may slide readily under the ice
chest the task Of disposing of the accu-
mutation of water Is more often than
not attended by some spiling. No mat
ter what amount of care is exercised, it
, seems almost impossible to pull the
pan from under the chest without ac-
cident.
In some Of the most up to date hard
ware and house furnishing stores there
Is now being shown an article of this
character which greatly facilitates the
removal Of the pan. The latter may
be filled almost to the point of over
flowing. yet 1t can be pulled out WITH
out giving the matter the least care
and carried anywhere without the least
danger Of disaster. 1t is almost impos-
sible to upset its contents. Care in
handling is not at all essential. Clad in

1t is low, fiat cylinder. Unlike the
usual pan for this purpose, 1t has COW

with the approximate location Of the

BRUSHING a Dress.

In brushing a garment that holds
lint and dust place 1t upon the ironing
board and sweep 1t with the whisk
broom, always in the direction Of the
weave, which should be from the band
to the hem. Even this process will
not always insure a perfectly clean
skirt, for the broom and brush scat
ter dust particles, but you will meet
with good results by going lightly over
the goods with dry sponge. This
sponge will take up all places Of lint.
1t can be used to brush the collar and
cuffs Of a coat and is very convenient
for busting dandruff from mans

SKIN TROUBLES CURED.
First Had Itching Rash-Threatened Later With BIood-Poison in Leg
 Relied on Cuticura Remedies.

About twelve or fifteen years ago 1 had breaking-out and it itehed, and stung so badly that I could not have any peace because of it. Three doctors did not help me. Then I used some Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Oint- ment, and Cuticura Resolvent and began to get better right away. They cured me and have not been bothered with the itching since, to amount to anything. About two years ago I had la grippe and pneumonia which left me with pain in my side. Treat ment ran it into my leg, which then swelled and began to break out. The doctor was afraid it would turn to blood-poison. I used his medicine but it did no good, then I used the Cuticura Remedies three times and cured the breaking-out on my leg. J. F.

BUY ONLY BEST cHIcoRY.
Ask Cor the Franck Brand and Insist
 Upon GettinQ lt.

All coffee drinkers should be familiar with the history and merits Of chicory. As salt is necessary for soup. so coffee Is incomplete without proper propor- ton of genuine chieory, for 1t is chicory that gives coffee that rich flavor and fra grant aroma.
 Americans thanks to foreIgn-born resi- dents, now appreciate the merits of chic ory. The United States Government has interested itself in the root and recently issued a bulletin on the use and growth of ehicory. (See Bulletin 19, U. s. De partisent of Agricultule)
 IL also regards chtcOry as standard a food product as coffee and requires the coffee makers to state the contents of their packages in plain letters. This in- sures the purchaser pure coffee and genu- inc chicory.
 One chicory manufacturing firm. Helnr Franck Sohne & Company, which has IS mammoth factories in Europe and has re- ceived forty medals for the excellence of its product in it's nearly century of eX- istence, has established an American branch at Flushing, N. Y. where genu- inc Franck Chicory is made. From this factory genuine chicory is supplied to all the leading iobhers of the south.
 You must ask for FranclI Chicory In or der to get the best chicory. Many in ferior brands are offered. but there is only one high grade chicory and 1t is the Franek Chicory
 Make sure that the coffee you buy is mixed with "Franck" Chicory and insist on getting 1t. You will be assured of a cup of coffee rich in taste. fragrant in aroma and healthful in effect. You will good Dutch housewives-the same kind served in all the leading hotels and res-- taurants. Accept only coffee prepared with "Franck" Chicory-it is the best.

 The other mothers smiled and sighed. The second said:
 "On the-er-advent of my little Miriam, Hannah, our five-year-old. was taken upstairs by the cook to see the newcomer.
 Hannah looked her little sister over sternly. Then, turning to the cook, she said:

Moose Jaw, Sasa., Nov. 18th, 1907.
 Writing from Moose Jaw, Saskatche Wan. MT. s. K. Rathwall says:
 "I have much pleasure in saying that on my farm this year I had 800 acres in wheat, and 120 acres in oats. My wheat averaged about p bushels. ner acre, and I had 200 acres cut be. fore the frost, which I sold at S5 rents per bushel, thus realizing on that wheat s1s.00 per acre, not count Ing cost of twine, seed and labor With regard to the other 300 acres of wheat, if got touched with frost but is worth 50 cents per bushel. It will net me si3.00 per acre, but I do not intend 10 sell it at that price, as I can make more money by feeding it to hogs.
 My cats turned out about 50 bushels 10 the acre. and at 35 cents per bushel will give me $17,00 to the acre, not counting seed, twine and labor.
 "On account of the late spring, a percentage of the grain was touched with frost, but on account of good prices, farmers will realize a fair profit on their farms even this year. We are as usual up against a short. age of cars to get our grain removed"

THE PART HE PREFERRED,
Subtle Meaning in Poets Criticism of
 DecoIlete Costume.

Joaquin Miller, the poet of the Sier- ras. is something of a recluse and rarely comes into San Francisco, but when he does he is made a good deal of a lion. On his last visit he was one of the guests at a rather formal dinner at friends house where he stayed overnight. His hostess had known the poet since her childhood. so she felt priviliged. next morning, to discourse to him of the beauties of the Parisian gown she had worn the night before-beauties which seemed to have escaped his observation.
 Mir. Miller listened to all that she had to say and remained silent.
 "But didn't you really like the dress?' pleaded the lady.
 Well" replied the poet, q did like part of it well enough"
 The lady frightened.
 "Indeed?" she said. What parte"
 "The part you had on.' answered the poet; and that ended the discus sion.-Lippincott's.
