CHINESE SOON WILL
HAVE CONSTITUTION

Peking, Dec. lot seems safe to
announce that the ancient absolute
regime in China will exist only his
torically after the Chinese New Year
in January, 1911. 1t is stated that the
throne has decided to accede to the
resolution of the imperial senate pray.
ing for the immediate creation of a
constitutional cabinet
Political events in China have moved
with rapidity that appears almost
revolutionary when it is considered
that the provincial assemblies repre-
senting the first step toward popular
government in the empires history of
thousands of years we're inaugurated
so recently as October IA, 1909.
The first imperial senate met ON
October last. The late empress dow
ager had decreed that a general rep
resentative legislative body to be
known as the imperial parliament be
convoked in 1915 at the end of nine
year period of preparation.
People Impatient.
However, the people, having had a
taste of popular government, were i'm.
patient and the senate, soon after it
was organized. demanded the immed-
late convocation of general parlia-
yielded to the extent of advancing the
date for the Inauguration of parlia-
ment to 1913, a decree making this eff
fective being promulgated on Novem-
Der 4.
1t was at first thought that the SEN
ate, one-half of the membership OF
which was appointed by the throne,
would be subservient, but early in its
existence it developed a striking in
dependence and exhibited spirit that
was almost rebellious.
Persuasion Effective.
When a few weeks ago this atti.
tude was changed notably, the general
belief was that the body had been in
Inundated. An increased number OF
troops in the streets was mistaken as
an evidence of the governments de.
termination to suppress the activities
OF the provincial delegates and their
supporters.
It appears now that these and 9th
ers who urged al still earlier meeting
OF parliament had no intention Of
abandoning their campaign, but simply
altered their tactics and embarked
upon plan of private though un
doubtedly forceful persuasion.

MILLMEN HAVE PLENTY
OF ORDERS FOR PRODUCT

Seattle, Dec. 10.-With one 100000
O0G-foot lumber order just placed, a
3,778, 0O0-foot government order about
to be placed and manufacturers able
to book all the business they desire
at the prevailing prices, the lumber in
dustry is rapidly recovering from the
slump in which it has been wallowing
for three months. With the present
active demand for lumber manufacture
ers are predicting an advance in prices
within thirty days.
Divided Among Northwest Mills.
Instead of purchasing 100000 feet
of lumber, as originally announced, the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroad
has during the last few days contract
ed to purchase approximately 100000
600 feet of forest products. The prices
at which lumbermen were willing to
furnish the lumber were such that the
purchasing department decided to in
crease the order to close to 10000, 900
feet. To Lord & Bushnell, Chicago
firm, has been allotted large portion
of the big order. This firm is parcel
ing the business among the North
west mills. The Henry Dickinson
Lumber Company has also received a
large allotment of the order.
Big Timber for Canal.
The largest government lumber or
der put out since last summer has just
been issued by the Panama canal COM
mission The bids are to be opened
December 81, at Washington, D. C.
The commission is in the market for
3,778,O00 feet of lumber, mostly dimen-
sion. A large proportion of the order
is for large timbers which yellow pine
manufacturers cannot supply, and
which will have to be purchased in the
Northwest.
Nearly all lumbermen whose plants
are in operation report that they can
get all the orders they want. One OF
the biggest mills at Portland has SO
many orders on its books that the
plant is being operated nights. A few
other plants are also using night
shifts.
