LUMBER FOR
CARS
RAILROADS IN MARKET FOR
TWELVE MILLION
FEET.
Specifications For Bids Received
at Seattle Total Quarter Million
Dollars For Best Grades-First
Large Business for Several
Months.

News which pleased the lumbermen
and which is taken to indicate the re-
vival of buying in the luber industrmy
reached Seattle during the past week
in the form of specifications for lum-
Der orders aggregating more than 49,
900, 900 feet and which will bring into
the Northwest close to a quarter of a
million dollars.
The specifications came from car
manufacturers in Chicago, st. Louis,
Milwaukee and call for car building
materials.
The calls for bids from the Chicago
and Milwaukee car shops aggregated
100000 900 feet, 100000 feet of
which is for the very best car siding.
The balance Of the specifications call
for bids on Car stills, car framing and
car lining, and state that the materials
are for use in the manufacture of L.
500 refrigerator cars for the Northern
Pacific railroad. The. contracts, &C.
cording to the specifications, will be
let about July 10, or about the time
the tariff question will probably be
settled.
Want the Best Lumber
The very best clear lumber is asked
for. Lumbermen say the bill will
average at the very lowest estimate
$40 per thousand, which is much lower
than quotations of that kind two years
ago, when the lumber market was &C.
tive.
Almost simultaneously with the
sending out of the inquiries for TO-.
900, 900 feet of lumber from the Chi.
cago and Milwaukee shops, came one
from the American Car and Foundry
Company, Of St. Louis, calling for bids
on bill Of lumber aggregating 1000.
600 feet of the best materials.
This is the first large lumber bust.
ness that has been in sight for the
Washing ton rail mills in nearly year
and the fact that the orders came from
the railroads is considered Significant
by lumbermen in that railroads and
their allied companies have purchased
very little lumber since the burst of
buying nearly year ago, when sew
eral millions of feet we're taken. Lum-
bermen believe that the business now
in sight heralds the return of the old
time activity in the lumber business
and that it will be followed soon by
trade running ito the hundreds of mill
lions of feet.
Pullman Company Buys 100000 Feet
That the railroads are really in the
market for lumber is indicated by the
fact that an order for 100000 feet
has been placed within the past two
weeks with Oregon mills by the Pull
man car company This lumber is to
be used in the manufacture of cars for
the Harr imam lines. The fact that
the lumber must be hauled over the
Union Pacific accounts for the order
being placed with Oregon lumbermen.
The Santa Fe railroad has speci6ca-
tions out for orders running into the
thousands and car building company
at Baltimore is also in the market for
a large bill.

Washington, June IL. The proposed

st. Louis to the Gulf received a blow
this week when the board of engineers
reported to congress that such a water

VETOES MAY
COME UP
COTTERILL SAYS SPECIAL
SESSION MUST ACT ON
THEM
No Expectation, However, That
Anv of Vetoed Measures Will
Get Sufficient Votes to Garry
Over Veto-Important Issues
Will Probably Lie Dormant.

Portland, Or, June 14-The Sunday
Oregonian says:
That the bills passed at the regular
session of the Washington legislature
and vetoed by Gov. M. E. Hay after
the final adjournment will have to be
referred to the special session which
convenes in Olympia June %, is the
opinion of Senator George F. Cotterill,
of Seattle, who is now in Portland.
'The provision of the constitution, "
said Senator Cotterill. yesterday, sis
that bills submitted to the governor
within five days before final adjourn
ment and vetoed by the governor after
adjournment shall be submitted to the
house in which they originated at the
next session of the legislature. The
word regular is not used preceding
the word session and plainly it will
be the duty of the secretary of state to
transmit the several measures vetoed
by Gov. Hay to the special session.
Hopes Vetoes Will Stand
''The three principal bills which
were vetoed by the governor, and
which were passed by close votes, I be-
lieve were bad and were rightly We
toed. They we're the oyster land bill,
the Potts hotel liquor bill and the
Booth ante-campaign pledge bill. ]
do not believe any of them can secure
the necessary two-t thirds vote to pass
over the governors veto. Another
bill, which I believe was meritorious,
was vetoed because of the failure of
the president of the senate to affix his
signature. This bill, as recall it.
gave counties the right to acquire gra-
vel pits by condemnation for road
building purposes.
II see no reason whatever for at
tempting to reorganize the senate and
I do not believe it will be attempted.
The work of the legislature, believe.
should be confined to matters germane
to the investigation of state offices and
departments.
''The only reason can think of that
would make reorganization advisable
would be the discovery by the investi-
eating committee of some connection
of the presiding officer of either house
with improper or unlawful acts, and I
have never heard such a thing init
mated.
The San Juan islander. [volume] (Friday Harbor, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1909-06-18
Officers Have Little Power

LAS matter of fact, the president
of the senate in an impeachment pro-
ceeding will not have any arbitrary
powers that might be absued. If there
is an attempt to reorganize either
house it will be in the interest of some
person who has political ambitions.
II am not in favor of reopening any
of the subjects of contention in the
regular session. If the local option
issue were reopened, for instance, it
would come before the same arbitrators
that considered it in the regular ses-
sion
''The local option law passed by the
legislature is saloon bill. It was not
what the local optionists wanted and
it was not what the liquor interests
wanted, but it represented what the
liquor interests we're willing to con-
cede in fear of something far worse in
the future.
"The record has been made up on the
local option issue and it should stand
and the law be given fair trial. At
the next election, if the people are not
satisfied with it, they should elect
representatives in the legislature at
that time to amend it or repeal it as
they deem best.
May Attack Reform Laws
"While do not fully expect it. r
should not be surprised if the liquoI
interests made some attempt to strike
out some of the provisions of the
criminal code, such as the one which
prohibits distractions of the view of
the interior of the saloons, but Just so
sure as they do make this attempt they
will drive more nails in their own
coffin. The great enemy of the liquor
traffic is the liquor traffic itself.
Every time it shows it's hand in at
tempting to control legislation or die
tate politics it does itself moro harm
than the united opposition of the tenn
perance people can accomplish.
"There is one matter 1 expect to
present to the special legislature which
1 believe is germane to the investiga-
ton and the general subject of official
house-cleaning. In the regular ses-
sion l introduced bill requiring the
summoning of grand jury each year
in every county and as much oftener
as might be deemed advisable by the
superior court. This bill was report
ed favorably, but as I was advised by
good legal authority that such a bill
would be unconstitutional, as the con-
stitution specifically makes the sum-
moning of a grand jury discretionary
with the superior court judge. then
prepared constitutional amendment
and secured favorable report on that
also, but it was so late in the session
that it was crowded out by other legis-
lation. shall again present this con-
stitutiona1 amendment

adopted course detrimental to
American interests.
In discussing the situation in
Nicaragua Mr.. Taft falls into line
with the Roosevelt policy of the
"big policem an" for the turbulent
little states of Central America.
Neither the Monroe doctrine nor
any other doetline of American pol.
icy," the President declares, "should
be permitted to operate for the per-
petuatiou Of irresponsible govern
ment and the escape of just obliga-
tions. He adds, however, IN respect
to the killing of Americans by Mic
sraguan soldiers, that "this Govern
ment is proceeding with deliberate
circumspection to determine the eX'
act truth and the course in the prem
ises most consistent with its dignity,
its duty to American interests and
its moral obligation to Central
America and civil organ izatien.' -
That is we'll said. Mr.. Taft does
not use the strong language of the
Big Stick, although he will likely be
as firm as his predecessor in protect
ing American interests in every
quarter of the globe.

The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1909-04-15

COWS numbered some twenty odd and
they were good, bad and Indifferent,
although l did not know "tother from
which" at that time.
To sum it up: I started building a
farm and a herd with a very poor
farm, a very poor herd, and absolutely
no knowledge of farming. I go thus
into detail in the hope that some dis
couraged farmer may be encouraged
to read more, to study more and in
this way to catch the vision of the
wonderful opportunities awaiting the
industrious, reading farmer. I also
hope that my words will come to the
notice of some young man dreaming
of the time when he shall leave the
farm and go into the great city. If
any word that I shall say shall
a young man to change his mind and
stay on the farm 1 shall be glad in
deed. There is no better place in the
world today for a young man than on
the farm!
The weighing of the milk has en-
abled me to sell surplus stock to ad-
vantage and I can always tell the
purchaser exactly what the cow is
doing and has done. 1t also enables
me to feed intelligently.
I feed a balanced grain ration in
the nutritive ratio of 1928 and l feed
hay and ensilage in addition. I feed
about 80 pounds of ensilage and about
II pounds of mixed hay per cow per
day. I feed one pound of grain for
each three pounds of four per cent

MAKING BUTTER.

Hand separator cream produces bet
ter butter than hat separated by any
other method. The deep car (shot-
gun CAM, surrounded by cold water,
is second best; pans and crooks are
third best; and the water dilution
method comes last.
The cream should be kept in as
nearly sweet condition as possible un-
til enough has been gathered for a
churning. This should then be soured
or ripened. To keep the cream sweet,
while gathering enough for a churn-
ing, keep the cal containing it sur
rounded with cold water. To ripen,
place where it will become somewhat
warmer Cat a temperature of IS to 80
degrees), until it is sou enough; then
cool down to a temperature Of from
IS to 60 degrees, which is right for
churning. Let it stand at this tenn
perature for an hour OF so before
churning, if possible. This will cause
the butter to come in better condi-
ton.
