Arrangements whereby the we'll
known lumber interests OF the Sohsts
OF Hamburg are to be represented in
Portland and regular shipments Of
Oregon dressed lumber to Germany
from now on were completed yes
terday, says the Oregon Sunday Jour-
nal.
G. W. Gates & Co., are to be the
agents in Portland Of the Sohst fam
ily, the business OF which has been
handed down several generations.
The Sohsts first engaged In the lum-
Der business in Germany in 1889.
Walter H. sohst Of Hamburg, who
has been selecting spars for the pri-
vate yacht Of the emperor now in
course Of construction, is at the Hotel
Portland.
Mr.. Sohst has been in Portland sew
eral days and during his stay here he
completed all the arrangements for
the lumber interests OF Germany
which he represents to have agents
in Portland to attend to the COM
pany's business. About 100000
feet Of the finest dressed lumber that
Oregon produces will be shipped an
nually to the Sohsts in Hamburg. The
lumber is to be used in ship build
ing
Oregon Lumber in Yacht.
The yacht Of the Kaiser II is to be
one of the finest IN the world. 1t
will have IL spars, each Of which is
to be 120 feet in length. Contracts
for this part of the kaiser's new ves-
sci have already been let by Mr..
sohst. In all, 20 of the finest spars
that ever crossed the Atlantic will be
sent. The extra number above those
actually required for the yacht have
been arranged for by Mr.. Sohst so
that there would be additional ones
on hand should it be found necessary
TO have a call for them.
at is quality that we want, not
quantity" Mr.. sohst said last even
ing at the Portland, "and on this ac-
nount 7 came TO oregon for lumber.
1.-THE dressed lumber that We are
TO ship from Portland is to be first
class in every particular. We use 1t
for deck and other shipbuilding pur-
poses. For many years we have been
getting lumber for our business in the
south but the kind that we must have
is about all cleared out. On this ac-
count we decided some time ago to
make arrangements in Portland to
have our interests represented by reg
ular agents.
I'VE shall not use lumber in great
amounts at first, but the timber that
we shall use is to be nothing but the
finest. We consider the lumber OF
Oregon as good as any in the world.
incidentally, may say that like
Portland better than any other city
in the country. The fact that from
now on lumber is to be sent direct to
Germany from Portland, which
means practically that new field is
being opened up for the industry
which has made Oregon famous
throughout the world, is a good ad-
vertisement for this part Of the coun-
try"
Mr.. sohst also thinks favorably Of
Vancouver, B. c. He leaves Portland
this evening.
The lumber shipments for the
sohsts through C. W. Gates & CO. Of
Portland will begin in the near future
and will continue from time to time,
increasing as the German shipbuild-
ers see fit to order more.
It is quite probable that much Of
the first shipment Of Oregon lumber
that is to be sent to Hamburg will be
used in the construction Of the en-
peror's private yacht

Demand for Small Bills.

From the Worcester Telegram.
The tremendous demand for small bills
that has come to the United States Treas
ury Department in the past few days has
convinced the officials there that business
is picking up all over the country. The
supply is not sufficient to fill all the or
ders from banks. and that is regretted
though the rush for small bills may not
mean that they must be had. Business
can be done with less of them than the
demands might indicate. In April the
Treasury had s27OOO.OO0 in silver dollars.
but now it is reduced to $21S,OW That
silver is necessary as basis for small
bills and when 1t is not there at Wash
inston the bills are not sent out. That
is one of the weak spots in the elasticity
of the currency system of this country.
and Congress is to be asked to improve
it at the next session. The government
might buy lot of silver now and adjust
the difficulty, but that is not allowed ex-
cept in the most urgent emergency. The
small coins are sent out In place of small
bills when they are on hand in abun-
dance, but they are not available now for
RESPONSES to the calls for change money
from the banks, and there will be gen
eraI hustle to get more of that kind of
currency from some parts of the country
and send it to others to keep all the bust
ness improvements on the gain.

High Buildings Bad for Denver as
Health Resort.

From tho Denver Republican
The testimony of specialists in the treat
ment of tuberculosis and other diseases
affecting the lungs or throat is without
exception against permitting the condi-
tons produced by skyscrapers. 1t does
not need the testimony of a physician to
show the evil effect of such buildings but
men who have made the study and treat
ment of tuberculosis their lifework give
the reasons for these injurious effects
Sunshine is the great enemy of diseases
of the kind in question. 1t supplies the
needed light and heat. 1t purifies the air.
expelling poisonous vapOrs. and stimulates
that electric quality of the atmosphere
which is so marked in the air OF Colorado
To line our streets with skyscrapers
would be TO condemn the business section
to almost perpetual shadow, and hence
doctors who have studied this subject
look with dread upon the proposition to
erect skyscraperS in Denver. Considering
this city as a health resort, and having
regard for the welfare of the thousands
of people who have made 1t their home
because OF weakness OF the lungs or
throat it would be nothing short of dis
aster to permit the construction of such
bindings The thought of doing anything
of the kind should not be entertained for
a moment.
Denver should not permit the construc
ton of any building which would exclude
the sunshine from the business streets.
Its greatest asset with reference to ell
mate is this sunshine, and to exclude It
would he to deprive the business section
of the most important advantage now

Shrinkage in Incomes.

From the Boston Transcript.
It is said that there has been a great
shrinkage in the professional income of
the physicians throughout the United
States of late, and that 1t is not wholly
attributable to business depression. An
elaborate statistical investigation would
be required to tell whether the public
is spending more money on more doctors.
or whether the shrinkage is due to other
causes, as. for instance. to wider diff
fusion of knowledge of the laws of sani-
tation, etc. Physicians will differ in their
diagnosis while recognizing the fact. One
Boston physician insists that there Is a
combination of causes at work. and
enumerates among them the overcrowd-
ing of the profession and the high cost
of living. which he holds is reducing the
middle class-classtfying by incOmes-On

pleasant enterprise. Even now an oc-

teens them. and because they are bet
ter than many OF the lliterate popu-
lation OF other sections. the movement
that reveals their ignorance and insists
upon their education. Is to be resisted.
The answer OF rhe South. as whole,
Is that because she loves and esteems

best advantages which life may OF.
fer t,hat any movement which reveals
their ignorance in order to bring them
knowledge. which would increase their
knowledge not upon the ground OF
their fncapacity. but upon the ground
OF their value to society: which as
serts their right to the worlds best.
and the worlds right to their best, is
a movement to be commended and re-
enforced"
