BIG MILL ORDERS
EXCITE INTEREST
Iumbermen Eager to Hear Details
From Portland and Grays
Harbor

SEATTLE, May 29.-The inside
of the big lumber orders recently
placed with Willamette river and
Grays Harbor lumber manufacturers
were laid bare yesterday at a meeting
of the Pacific Coast Lumber Manufac-
turers' Association. Discussion OF the
large orders brought out the state
ment from N. G. Blagen, of Hoquiam,
president of the Grays Harbor Lum-
ber company, one of the Grays Harbor
mills that agreed to fill the 25,O0O,-
900 foot order that the price was cut
to obtain the business. He stated
this was done in order to keep the
nils operating for several months
and save the market from indiscrimin-
ate price cutting. He stated that he
believed the placing of the big order
even at reduced rate, would stiffen
the market.
Fred c. Knapp, secretary of the
Peninsula Lumber company. OF Port
land, confirmed the report that an or.
der for 40,O00,000 feet Of lumber had
been placed with Willamette mills.

JURY DRANK EVIDENCE
Found Druggist Guilty Of Selling
Liquor Without License. but
judge Set Aside Verdict

SALT LAKE CITY. Utah, May 27.
In it's zeal to absorb all the facts
in the case, a jury in the district
court yesterday not only nullified its
own verdict of guilty, but made it i'm
possible for the prosecution to make
out a case before another jury.
J. M. Doull. a druggist was on trial
for selling liquor without license.
While deliberating, the jury sent for
the exhibit. flask of whiskey. When
it was returned to the court room
Judge Lewis noticed that it was EN-
pity. He reprimanded and dismissed
the jurors and notified the defense
that motion for new trial would be
granted. The motion was made and
the state will have to dismiss the case
for lack of it's chief evidence.
