PRESIDENT CASE CRITICIZES
COMMISSIONER HUBBARD

Olympia, JAN 28.-President Chas.
R. Case Of the Federation of Labor
bitterly arraigned Labor Commission
er Hubbard before the commerce and
manufacture committee in the senate.
Hubbard is said to favor compulsory
arbitration in strikes, lockouts and the
like. Case charged Hubbard with hav-
ing shown himself uniformly opposed
to the interests of labor and protested
against compulsory arbitration because
the labor commissioner, under the pro-
posed legislation. would be the fifth
man on the arbitration board and
would have the deciding vote.
"Arbitrators under such circum-
stances" said Case. would not be
likely to be in the least fairer than
our courts. so far as labor is con-
cerned."

COTTAGE CITY WRECK

Victoria, B. c., Jan. 28.-The missing
life boat from the wrecked steamship
Cottage City, in charge of Second Of
ficer Anderson, with twelve passen-
gers and crew, has been located, and
a wireless message was forwarded to
this effect from the United States
steamship Snohomish via Cape Lao.
The vessel is total wreck. A wire
less message says she has broken in
two. The survivors are being taken to
Seattle by the Snohomish, which
passed Cape Lazo at p. m. Friday.
rne salvage steamer Salvor arrived
at 1915 p. NJ, and is standing by.
The Cottage City was going about
half speed when she struck heavily,
the strong flood from Seymour mar
rows having set her on the reef. The
passengers were greatly frightened and
many rushed to the life belts and hur-
ried to the boats, waiting until they
were launched.
Capt. Jansen and some of the officers
ran to the boat deck and told the
panicky passengers they were not in
danger. The steamer was pounding
meanwhile and listed over. Capt Jan.
sen decided to lower the boats and
there was quite rush for places, but
when the officers standing at the falls
shouted: Women and children first,
this soon stopped and the boats were
lowered without much excitement, all
getting away in good shape, despite a
heavy swell.

COMMERCIAL REPORT SAYS
TRADE is IMPROVING

New York, Jan 28.-R. G.. Dun's
weekly review of trade says:
There has been an improvement in
the directions in which business con-
traction has been most pronounced.
This has contributed to the growth of
confidence.
The larger activity in iron and steel
shared by other industries, the better
feeling exhibited in financial markets,
and the confidence resulting therefrom,
are the important developments.
The betterment in iron is chiefly in
finishing products, tin plate, wire and
structural materials. The advance of
81 a ton in wire products was followed
by the filling of the New York Central
contracts for 176,75O tons, while other
railroads have taken more moderate
tonnage.
The dry goods market is exhibiting
encouraging aspects, and the outlook
lis more favorable.
The footwear market shows no ma
terial change. There are still buyers
in the Boston market, the majority OF
whom are content to examine condi
tons and postpone purchases.
Trade in leather continues to i'm
prove, especially in sole and betting
stocks. Prices of sole leather show 9
firmer tone, but upper leather is rath
er quiet. The hide market has devel
oped activity, especially in Western
packer and Latin American dry hide
stocks.

NOOKSACK RANCHERS PUT
UP 100000 FOR ROAD

Bellingham, Jan. 30-At a mass
meeting held here, ranchers of the
Nooksack valley pledged half million
dollars in money and land toward
financing the projected Nooksack val
ley interurban.
With the funds already in hand and
the subsidizaton of the first nine miles
of the road guaranteed by the Cham
Der of Commerce, more than sufficient
resources are now available for con-
structing the thirty odd miles of track.
Redeem Old Promise.
At the time the citizens of Belling-
ham subscribed 100000 towards the
bonds of the Bellingham-Skagit inter
urban, the ranchers to the north of the
city promised their aid to the first re-
sponsible company which would under
take to build toward the British Co.
lumbia line The action of the farm
ers has redeemed that promise.
Rural Population Interested.
The districts represented in the mass
meeting were the farming commune
ties about Ferndale, Lynden, Blaine
and Sumas. Merchants of the cities
named also volunteered to take sub
staptial blocks of stock, but the chief
SUPPORT offered the interurban comes
from the ranchers.
J. M. Morrison, Immediately after
the meeting, stated that all obstacles
to the building of the road had now
been overcome and that crews of men
would be in the field early this spring.

GREAT LUMBER SHIPMENTS
FROM COAST DURING 1910

Washington lumber mills during 1910
shipped by rail and water 2,524,S27, 75C
feet of lumber, which is one of the
largest years business ever done by
mills in this state.
The first detailed figures showing
the lumber shipments from the North
west appear in the special annual mum
Der of the Pacific Lumber Trade Jour
nal. The figures are probably the most
complete ever prepared in the North
west. Robert B. Allen, editor of the
Journal, has spent weeks in gathering
and compiling the statistics. He has
compiled statement of rail shipments
showing the distribution by states
which is a feature of the annual re.
view. This is the first time in several
years that this information has been
available, inasmuch as the railroads
have refused to furnish the lumbermen
with the necessary data.
Washington mills shipped II, 29S cars
of lumber and 1922 cars of shingles
by rail during the year.
Inland Empire shipments, including
shipments originating in Eastern
Washington, Eastern Oregon, Idaho
and Montana, amounted to 1859 cars,
or S22,920,944 feet. However, the ship.
ments originating in Eastern Wash.
ton are also included in the 1,29S cars
first mentioned.
Shipments from Oregon approximat.
ed $4,000 cars, of which 10000 cars
were shipped down through the Will.
iamette valley into California.
Washington was by long odds the
greatest consumer of it's home-manu-
featured product, shipments to destina-
lions within the state aggregating 49,.
1863 cars, or about 623,11S,OO0 feet
Team deliveries within cities are esti.
mated at 250,000,0OO feet in addition.
