THE LUMBERMEN
ADOPT SCHEDULE
Revised Rules Adopted After
Six Months E Consideration
-Silo Lumber Also

For the purpose of securing uniform
ity of grades and patterns amony all
mills of Washington and Oregon, new
standard classification and grading
rules Saturday were issued by the
Pacific Lumber Trade Journal. These
revised rules have been officially
adopted by the West Coast Lumber
Manufacturers Association, and are
the result of some six months deli
beration On the part of committee
of lumbermen of many years practi-
cal experience. ]. H. Bloedel, of Sc
attic, was the chairman of this man
ufacturers' committee.
Among the new features represent
ed is a standard specification for silo
material. Silo lumber has become a
factor in the lumber business since
the issuance of the old rules several
years ago, and shipments of this
stock now exceed 100,000,00O feet an
nually from Western Washington
mills alone. Advance orders for 1913
shipment indicate that silo stock will
be more of factor than last year
by probably 80 per cent.
The new rules also include com.
plete revision of the rules governin.,
the manufacture of factory stock ma
terial, such as is used in the manu-.
facture of sash, doors and interior
finish. This is very important re-
vision. Practically, the rules have
been rewritten, but without any i'm.
portant change in standard sizes, ex
cept the making of Ike fiat grain fir
flooring X of an Incl thick instead
of 1916, as has been ne custom for
many years.

CLAM HUNTING FISH FOUND
ON OCEAN BEACH

From Willapa Harbor north clam
diggers are somewhat worried over
the recent arrival of a new specimen
of fish which is evidently rushing the
clans. According to word from West
port small fish has invaded the clam
beds. This peculiar specimen of the
finny tribe has characteristic of the
clam, in that it buries itself in the
sand of the beach. 1t leaves the same
surface sign as the clam. Whether
the fish are good to eat or fit for
canning purposes is not known, yet
it is probable they will be experiment.
ed upon within a short time.

TRAIL MAPPED
THROUGH HERE
ON WONDERLAND TRAIL ROUTE
MAN HERE IN INTERESTS
OF HIGHWAY

George X. Munroe, of the Grand
Forks Commercial Club, was here on
Tuesday in the interests of the "Won-
derland Trail" from Duluth to the
Pacific coast.
A meeting of the members of the
Williston Auto Club was held at tho
Court house at 10 o'clock, at which
time Mr.. Munroe explained the work
that has been done so far toward the
laying out of this highway. He has
stopped in every county between here
and Grand Forks, through which the
Wonderland Traip will pass, and has
met with much encouragement in
every county and city visited. The
principal object of Mr.. Munroe's visit
here was to take up the matter of or
ganizing a Wonderland Trail Asso-
citation, to look after the matter of
putting up signs along the road, and
also to have the Automobile Club, and
all interested. pick out and mark the
route across the country.
The Grand Forks Commercial Club
has had manufactured some embossed
tin signs, mounted on board and Z
foot post. These are to be placed
along the road selected through the
counties. The expense of placing the
signs across williams county win
amount to about $4,000. 1t was
agreed at the Tuesday morning meet
ing that the local Automobile Club
would stand this expense, and the ex-
pense of putting up the signs, and
also select the route along which they
are to be placed
The question of which route to take
across the county was also under dis
cussion. The route as laid out across
Mountrail county enters Williams
county from White Earth in the north
east corner of Pleasant Valley town
ship. From this point to Ray there
is one proposed route direct, and from
Ray the road runs straight west to a
point seven miles north of Williston,
and down the Little Muddy road to
the city The question of selecting
this route was discussed. but was OBJ
jected to by number of those pres
ent because it would miss entirely a
number of small towns. From here
it is proposed to select the road di
rectly west to Bainville, Mont. How
ever, no permanent road was desig-
mated. as this matter was left with a
committee, who must have the route
selected and signs up by October 1st.
This committee will make trip over
a couple of roads leading through
the county and select the best.
Once the through highway is desig-
mated and signs put up, it will be
more easy to get road appropriations
out of state and government moneys
set aside to improve through roads.

CHECK FORGER
WAS CAPTURED
PASSED TWO FORGED CHECKS
HERE-CAUGHT AT STANLEY
WANTED AT FAIRVIEW

A, young man about 22 years old,
giving his name as S. Kahn, passed
two forged checks on local merchants
Monday and was captured at Stanley
in the afternoon on advice from Chief
Nolan and brought back to Williston.
In the meantime it was discovered
that the same fellow was wanted at
Fairview for forging three checks
there.
Monday morning Kahn went into
the Rowitzer store and bought pair
of shoes and suit of clothes. He
presented a $25.O0 check drawn on a
bank at Fairview, in the name of VIM.
Lloyd. He put the suit and shoes on
and got some change out of the check.
He next went to Swedlund Bros, and
bought watch for 5000, presenting
another $25.0O check, and got $1,000
in change. The check given at the
Rowitzer store was presented shortly
after at the Williston State Bank, and
Mr.. Hyde, the Cashier, called up the
Fairview Bank to ask if it was good.
The bank at Fairview state that it
was a forgery and that warrant had
Deen issued 1Or Cne 1ellOW 1OT passing
three forged checks there. The local
officers were notified by Mr.. Rowitzer.

sumed that the man had gone on that
train. Chief Nolan at once called up
Sheriff Dolan, at Stanley, to board
the train and look for the forger.
He did so and found his man. Chief
Nolan went down and brought him
back here. He was held here under
$4,000 bond, and was then taken to
Fairview to answer to similar
charge.
When captured young Kahn had
some money in his possession, and the
clothes and watch obtained here. The
watch was returned to Swedlund Bros.
and $500 in cash was recovered by
Mr.. Rowitzer. The man had the
clothes and shoes on. He also stated
to the officers that he had claim out
in Montana, and that of the $4,000 or
$1,000 he had obtained on forged
checks at Fairview he had sent to
his sister at Rochester, MINI.
