en over te ship building on the out skirts of the city, the club. or what remains of 1t, has seen a development which hes brought more persons into a eingie adjacent building than there were in the radius of a quarter of a mile when 1t organized.
 Tn addition to having housed and numbered among its members many men cf national reputation, the club ss also rich in historic associations. Within the shaaow of its walls was constructed the great ironclad steam ram .Dunderberg. which, ordered by Secretary Welles in 1881 for the Navy, was considered with her speed of hf- teen knots an hour. the most fofmid- able war shipiin the world As she was not completed untfl after the war she was rechristened the Rechambeau.
 The last surviytng member of the Alpha Club In New York describes her as .'only a pile of logs, covered with iron Her dimensions were 3s0 feet length. 70 feet width and 23 feet depth of hold. a truly enormous ship for her times.
 The famous Alpha Club. though it is going out of existence. finds Itself with a cash surplus in the treasury and many invaluable relics. All will be d. vided among the dozen members through the country who are all that are left of this once famous organi- zation. ',ttf

Besides our pine, the merits Of
which are we'll recognized nova
days, everywhere our forests fur
nish an abundant supply of lamar
ack, and this wood, for long time
neglected, and only considered fit
for railroad ties and heating pur-
poses, commands more and more
attention by reason of it's great
strength and durability. 1t is
claimed and proved that it sur
passes in this regard the Puget
Sound fir good deal, and just now
the United States Bureau of Fores-
try is making official tests on an
elaborate scale with our native
tamarack, the results of which are
largely looked for BY our lumber
men, confident as they are that it

native wood superior for construc-
ton purposes to the Sound fir,
hauled at great cost hundreds of
miles away from the Pacific Coast.
at is only natural that the
abundant supply of lumber in our
Inland Empire should attract the
attention of the eastern lumbermen
and capitalists. Heavy invest
ments of capital in their business
are of daily occurrence, and the
installation of a big sash and door
factory in this part of the country
lis already a certainty. Another
industry, assuming greatsr proper
tons and rapidly growing, repre-
sented by our box factories, asks
for good deal of the common pine
lumber, and millions of feet in the
lower grades, not so long ago a
drug in the market, made into box
materials, finds its way all over the
country where fruit grows and is
l
shipped.
For many decades to come, yes,
with the continuation of the present
wise policy of our government in
creating and establishing the forest
reservations, we may say forever,
the lumber industry of the Inland
Empire will be one Of its most inn
portant factors"

J. M. Welty, of Metaline, has
been here since Thursday. He has
applied to the board of county
commissioners for thirty-year
franchise to build telephone line
from Metaline to Colville, and has
attempted to get in touch with the
Colville Commercial Club to make
them proposition concerning the
proposed line. Metaline has no
telephone or Geographic communi-
ton with the outside world. Now
the point has been reached when
telephone line is demanded. 1t can
come to Colville if Colville wants
it. If Colville does not want it,
Newport does. Mr.. Welty desires
the citizens of Colville to organize
company for the purpose of build

throughout the county, and has
$500 pledged from Metaline and
seven miles of wire and material to
proceed Immediately on the con-
struction of the line between Meta

FUTURE OF THE LUMBER INDUSTRY.

Spokane, Jan. 14.-Placing the
lumber cut of the Inland Empire
at 1000, 100000 feet in 1907, and
declaring that a fair estimate gives
the district a total of 300,OOO,000,-
600 feet of standing timber, E. F.
Cartier Van Dissell, president OF
the Sawmill Phoenix, which has
vast timber holdings and operates
it's own railroad, says it is easy to
believe that with even an ever
increasing output the forests in
Eastern Washington, Northern
Idaho, Western Montana, North
eastern Oregon and Southeastern
British Columbia will supply for
years to come the lumber trade.
He adds:
Zone of the largest assets in our
Inland Empire, if not the most i'm
portant of all. is undoubtedly our
lumber. Only few years ago it
hardly attracted the attention of
anybody other than those inter
ested in the local lumber market.
Now, Notwithstanding that the To-
cal demand, thanks to our large
growing empire, is on the increase
by leaps and bounds, the home use
is not to be compared with the de-
mand on our woods for factories
and general use in the middle
western and eastern states. In the
markets there it takes the place OF
the white pine of Michigan, Wis
consin, Minnesota, once SO abun-
dant, but now we'll nigh extinct.
Even the factories on the Pacific
Coast, where the very best fir is to
he had at lower price than our
pine, are buyers in our market for
considerable quantities of our pine
"While the Puget Sound fir has a
higher percentage of upper grades
than our pine, still the better
grades of our pine are more adapted
for the use in sash and door fac.
tories and command a far better
price. But it is not only our clear
lumber that the eastern markell
calls for. Thousands of carloads
of the lower grades find their way
there, and where. only short time
ago, our common lumber, repre-.
senting 20 to Is per cent of our cut
was difficult to dispose Of, the
demand for it is now SO lively that
many lumbermen prefer eastern

An annual expenditure of $780,
OOO,OOO for railroad ties looks large
to most people, but according to a
bulletin issued by the bureau OF
forestry that is what was spent in
1906.
AS to the enduring quality of ties
the report shows that cedar lasts II
years, cypress 10 years and redwood
8 years. The ties in most general
use, however, are chestnut, white
oak, tamarack. spruce and Douglas
mr.. and the life of these is but seven
years. When treated with a pre-
servative and laid with equipment
to lessen wear the period may be
prolonged to Is years. Only 10 per
cent of the total number of ties used
in 1906 were so treated, either be-
fore they were purchased or at the
treating plant of the railroad COM
pany buying them.
Adoption of this preventative
treatment is urged on the railroad
companies by the foreetry service,
both as a measure of economy to
themselves and as saving in the
drain upon the forests. The latter
consideration is held to be of great
Importance, fact readily appre-
ciated in view of the statement that
the amount of wood used each year
in ties is equivalent to the product
of 100000 acres. With nearly
100000 miles of railway trackage
and approximately $500 ties to the
mile. there are over SOO,OOO,OOO ties
constantly subject to wear and de-
cay.

JUDGE GRAY'S INTERVIEW
 IS TO BE TAKEN LITERALLY

Washington. May 3.-Richard J. Beamish. who is in charge of the George Gray Bureau in this city, was asked If the Pittsburg interview cred ited to Judge Gray would have any effect upon the presidential movement in the Delawareans behalf.
 The statement attributed to Judge Gray in Pittsburg." said Mir. Beamish, "has been made by him several times and is to be taken literally. He is not seeking the nomination and has neither aided nor encouraged the activities of those friends who see in him the fore- most exemplar of Democracy.
 Some time ago, 1t became known that Judge Gray would not be candi. date, but that if nominated, he would not refuse the call of his party. This stand Is we'll known 10 all hls support CTS, and the Pittsburg declaration in no way conflicts with his past attitude. His friends believe they have q right to call upon his services as a Demo- erat. notwithstanding his personal de- sires in the matter and every one h,Sv- ing knowledge of the Judges sound party fealty, is absolutely certain that if nominated, he will accept. The Delaware convention instructed the delegates to Denver to vote and work as a unit for George Gray, and the situation, so far as his candidacy is concerned, aas rot changed since that time
