PRICE Of LUMBER
WILL ADVANCE
BIG RAILROAD COMPANIES HAVE
PLACED ORDERS WITH SOUND
MILLS FOR 5O,OOO,OOO FEET OF
LUMBER.

The indications are that Wenat-
chez builders will have to pay moro
for lumber than at the present time.
Though the local lumber men have
given no notice of advance, yet the
Sound dealers are claiming that it is
only question of few weeks when
there will be an advance.
What is said to be the greatest
lumber buying movement ever known
in the Northwest is now in full swing.
The orders and inquiries are so large
and numerous and so quietly are they
being placed that lumber men are I'M
able to accurately estimate the vol
ume of business being placed at the
mills. The lowest estimate is not
below 100000 feet and several
place the amount at 5O,OOO,0OO feet.
The railroads are in the market
for ties and other construction ma
terials. In addition to the demand
for rough lumber the railroads are
after millions of feet of fir lumber
for siding, roofing, lining and car
stills and other lumber used in car
shops.
Within ten days nearly all of the
large railroads have sent out inqui-
ries looking to the purchase of lum-
Der. So quietly have the agents for
the railroads worked that no one
knows just how many orders have &c
tually been closed, but lumbermen
believe that the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul railroad is in the market
for 100000 feet of fir lumber to be
used principally in construction work
along the Pacific coast extension for
new stations and for passenger and
box car construction at the car shops
in the east.
The Hartman construction is
credited with wanting to buy like
amount.
Orders aggregating 100000 fee:
ere said to have been placed by the
Santa Fe system, 100000 feet OF
which are yet to be shipped. The
Vanderbilt roads are also reported
to be after 100000 feet Of fir. to

Butter and eggs are still trending
upward. Local butter is now quoted
at 45c, though several big creamer-
les have given notice of a slight ad-
vance in all grades. Iowa butter is
quoted here at Acc. Eggs are selling
here for 45c, though in Seattle the
price has jumped to soc and 55c.
Eastern packed eggs are selling at
35c in this market. Lemons are soc,
oragnes Acc, cranberries are zoe and
the prospects are that they will ad-
vance in price, as the supply is run
ming low. Celery is loo and lettuce
sc.
Most of the stores are keeping
large supplies of green goods in
stock, and these are temptingly dis
played.

GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY TO

EN- HOURS FROM CHICAGO.
Especial to the World.)

tOptCldl " lIlt w OIlu.J
st. Paul, Mimi, Dec. 4.-The
Great Northern railway will inaugu-
rate a through service from Chicago
to the Pacific coast next spring, re-
ducing the running schedule more
than seven hours in order to meet
the competition of the Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul when that road
completes it's extension to the Paci-
fic coast next spring, and also to
meet the competition of the Union
Pacific road. The Hill line will find
it necessary to make the reduction
in running time in order to compete
for the United States mail, hauling
contracts. A meeting of the Great
Northern and Burlington officials
has been called for the latter part of
this month, it was announced to-
day, to make arrangements for the
through service. With the establish
ment of the through service from
Chicago to Seattle, the Oriental Linn

the coast and makes the trip in
sixty hours, will leave Chicago, and

SCHOOL ELECTION
TOMORROW
THE ONLY QUESTION INVOLVED
IS THE AUTHORIZATION OF
THE BOARD TO SELL PRESENT
HIGH SCHOOL SITE.

Tomorrow is the date of the school
election. Do not forget to vote.
Women as well as men may vote at
this election. 1t will be held in the
Salvation Army hail from l to p.
m. The only question involved in
the election tomorrow is that of site.
The high school needs larger site
than the one now owned in Grand
View addition. The board wants au-
thority to sell this. 1t is thought
that the change in the site will APP
peal to all as a proper thing to do
at this time. TIL site bought last
year can be disposed of at a price
that includes purchase price and in
terest, so that the district will lose
nothing by the investment. On the
other hand, it is now possible to buy
another site on very good terms.
This proposed site will be sufficiently
large that the space not Immediately
needed for school purposes can be
used as an athletic grounds to good
advantage. The proposed new site
is just a little west of the present
orchard, and is just as conveniently
located and as sitely as the present
one
Following the election tomorrow
there will be a mass meeting called
next week to pass on several ques-
lions to be voted upon by the voters.
These questions are:
1. Shall the board be authorized
to buy a site for grade school in
the south end of the district? (Near
Padoshek's or POOLS places.)
2. Shall the board be authorized
to erect a grade school building on
said south end site?
3. Shall the board be authorized
to buy a high school site? (This to
be submitted if the old site is Or
dered to be sold by this special cleo
tion.)
4. Shall the board be author
lied to erect high school building?
Following the mass meeting there
will be an election called to vote the
amount of the bonds as required to
carry out the needs of the several
propositions.
The members of the school board
desire very general expression on
the proposition tomorrow, so do not
forget to vote.

CUSSED NEEDED LEGISLATION
AT SEATTLE BANQUET.

King county is to have two send

committee, says the Seattle Pos In
telligencer. The decision was reache
last evening by Lieutenant Governor
elect NJ. E. Hay, who arrived in Sc
attic yesterday to attend the Shrin-
ers' initiation and banquet. Mr.. Hay
stated that as King county pays a
fifth of the entire taxes of the state,
it was due that the county be repre-
snnted on the committee which has
charge of the spending of the money
Mr. Hay has spent the weeks since
election in becoming acquainted with
the members of the next senate, al
has found that most of them favor
retrenchment in expenditures for tine
state for the next two years. The
state educational institutions budget
wiz be cut heavily, and, according 10
MI. Hay, the senators do not favor
the bill for widening the channel OF

100000. FEET
LUMBER NEEDED
AMOUNT OF BOX MATERIAL IN A
FEW YEARS RUNS INTO AS
FOUNDING FIGURES. - LOGS
ADVANCE ON WEST SIDE.

According to estimates made by
men who are cognizant of the condi-
lions in the county, in five years
time this county will be producing
100000 boxes of fruit annually.
AS each apple box requires five feet
of lumber the amount of lumber re-
quired for fruit boxes alone at that
time will amount to the astounding
sum of 50,000,000 feet each year
During the present season there
have been used in fruit boxes in this
county 100000 feet of lumber. Be-
side this amount the lumber that has
been used in building in the Wenat-
chez Valley has also run into big fig
ures, especially when the size of the
territory is considered.
In Chelan county it is estimated
that there is altogether about a bill
lion and a half pine timber. A large
part of this is in the forestry reserve
But even if it were all cut it will last
for fruit boxes alone but thirty years.
The following appeared this week
in the Bellingham American:
The price of logs went up 81 per
thousand. Lumber will advance &C
cordingly 1t is claimed that not
more than 100000 feet of logs are
now in the waters of Grays Harbor
and that not more than 100000
feet are available, counting logs in
mill booms. No. 1 fir logs, formerly
50, are now SO. Spruce logs have
advanced to S12. Cedar logs range
from $3.50 to $12, the highest price
in many months.

SHOP EARLY SAYS
THE MERCHANTS
THOSE WHO TRADE EARLY GET
ADVANTAGE OF LARGER
CHRISTMAS STOCKS AND LESS
HARRIED CLERKS,
Shop early!

Shop early!
With but twenty-one more shop
ping days till Christmas day, local
merchants are making an effort to in
terest the people in the early trad
ing movement.
In some places organized move
ments have been started to get the
people to do their Christmas shop
ping early enough to avoid the rush
of the last few days. While Wenat-
chez people have not done this, there
are a number who are urging some
such move.
Among the suggestions made by
merchants is that the people buy
early in the iay-before noon, if pos
sible, when the clerks have more
time and the service is quicker.
Customers are also urged to carry
home small parcels, which means
shorter hours for the saleswomen,
drivers and delivery boys.
