not to be paid until after the de-

Wants Full Evidence.
In his evidence Mr.. Merritt said
that this decision was finally rem
dered substantially the same as
Richardson had outlined 1t to
him, but he did not know wheth-
er any money had been paid or
mot. He said that he thought at
the time that Palmer had been
trying to discount some informa-
ton he had received from Judge
Root and he had advised Richard
son not to have anything to dc
with Palmar in the matter.
Continuing Mr.. De Wolfe said
that while the evidence Of Mr.
Palmer was take nby the state bal

son had not been, heard. He urged
that Richardson should be sub

BOOM TN LUMBER
BUSINESS COMING
MILLS NOW PREPARING TO
FILL BIG ORDERS, AS A RE
suit OF SETTLEMENT OF
TARIFF DISPUTE.

Now that the tariff question has
been settled, lumbermen. are look
ing for an immediate revival OF
business and 1t is expected that
sales during the next few months
will be heavier than they have
been at any corresponding period
for the past three years.
The lumber market has been
anything but active during the
summer, and as consequence,
many Washington mills either
shut down or ran along with oper-
ating forces. With a small demand
for lumber there was little use
for workmen in the logging camps
and only those camps operated by
mills having local demand we're
operated to anywhere near ca
pacity.
The railroads, which have al
ways been heavy buyers in the
Washington lumber market, have
given their purchasing agents
plenty of time to loaf during the
warm months, but when 1t was
announced yesterday that the tar
If bill had been signed, the buy
ers made up their minds that they
would have busy season. Nst
For more than two months in
quiries from lumber dealers In the
Middle West and Southwest have
been pouring in upon the millmen.
1t has been noticed that a great
many inquiries laid particular
stress on the subject of stocks car
ried by the millmen and the time
1t would take to fill orders after
they were placed.
1t is well known that the deal
ers who place orders in Washing
ton have allowed their stocks to
run very low and now they are
getting in line to stock up as
promptly as possible so to be In
shape to supply the demand fol-
lowing the harvesting of the grain
crops.
Lumber trade will be excep-
tionally good this fall in the wheat
growing sections of the West. The
crop has been excellent through
out the wheat growing states and
prices were never better as the
harvest season approaches, than
they are this year. Owing to this,
farmers will erect many buildings
planned long ago, but deferred ow-
ing to unsettled conditions.
