LUMBER AND WOODWORKING.

Report credits the Weyerhaeuser
Timber Co. with the intent of estab-
fishing large mill in the vicinity Of
Dryad. where the syndicate has ex-
tensive timber holdings.
At a meeting Of the West Coast
Lumber Manufacturers association,
held at Aberdeen last week, it was
decided to curtail the product Of the
mills by q general closing down Of
plants during the next 30 days.
A prospective timber sale Of 700.-

General Trade Conditions.

Bradstreet's says: In some respects
trade reports suggest somewhat more
irregularity. Western advices indicate
conservative buying, presumably re-
flex Of reports Of reduced crop yields,
but at the same time they proclaim
that trade Is equal to or in excess Of
that done ct this time last year, when
operations certainly were growing. On
the other hand, the more important
eastern markets, particularly those
having to do with textiles, display
more vim, house trade has enlarged
and mills instead Of making conces-
sions. are insisting upon higher prices.
Business failures for the week were
300. which compares with 22S In 1912.
Wheat, including -four, exports from
the United States and Canada for the
week aggregate 7,O42,18O bushels.
against 3,545,134 last year.
Dun's review says: Evidences Of
reviving commercial and industrial &C.
tivity steadily multiply and business
optimism 10 becoming widespread.
The restrictie influence Of tariff re-
vision Is somewhat less manifest and
the expansion in trade Is facilitated
by the improved monetary situation,
increasing preparations for remote
needs being stimulated by the broader
absorption Of commercial paper at
lower rates.
Conditions In iron and steel have
been rather better than expected this
month. Reports from the dry goods
markets continues gratifying.
A generally improved comparison
with the two preceding years Is shown
in bank clearings this week, the total
at all leading cities amounting to ST.
400. 2S5,S05, an increase Of o. per cent
over last year.

Marking Must Be Avenged,
They Declare.

Tokio.-The assassination of Morti.
arc Abe. director of the political blu.
reau of the Japanese foreign office.
has inflamed the masses and a dra-
matte chapter in the history of the new
Japan was written Sunday. Sentiment
against the foreign Offices attitude to-
ward China in connection with the re-
cent killing of Japanese in Marking
IL believed to be in measure respon-
sible for the attack on Abe.
Fifteen thousand persons gathered
In massmeeting in Hibiya park, calling
for military action against China. A
majority of these marched to the for
eign office and clamored for admis-
sion. They demanded the dispatch of
troops to China to take such measures
as were necessary to obtain satisfac-
ton for the killing Of Japanese at Nan
king. or failing in this the resignation
of the minister of foreign affairs, Bar
on Nobuaki Maxine.
Empty Diplomacy.
The speakers denounced the empti-
A000 VI O&P0AAOoO 0ARAOAAoSJ Al VOAAOS-
ton with California and China and in
sisted that the insult to the Japanese
flag at Marking should be wiped out.
The manifestation clearly was an ex-
plosion Of popular resentment against
the ministry In its treatment of the
California and Chinese questions.
Profiting by the lessons of the riots
which followed the conclusion of peace
between Russia and Japan the govern
ment reduced the risk of violence to-
day by refusing to allow a single SOL
der or policeman at the scene. The
lnanifestants, many of whom were stu
dents, were orderly the early part of
the proceedings. A score Of agitators,
including girl, decried Japanese d.
plomacy and declared that 1t never had
contributed to the upbuilding Of the
empire and always had ended in fail
ure. The incidents in China we're un-
bearable.
Suddenly the cry to march on the
foreign offcie was raised and there
was a general stampede. many persons
barely escaping being crushed. The
crowds surged through the streets,
headed by the gesticulating leaders,
and reached the foreign office to fino
that the high iron gates we're locked.
Rioting Continues.
The anti Chinese demonstration con-
tinued today in the form of window
smashing and tram car wrecking. Pre-
mier Yamamoto informed the political
Populations which called on him that
the government would not mobilize,
but intended 20 deal with the Chinese
problem with firm hand.

STAMP ALL LETTERS

People will do well to bear in mind
the new order of the postal depart
ment, now in effect, that all first class
mail matter deposited in rural mail
boxes shall be properly stamped before
being so deposited. Hitherto some
people have been in the habit OF throw
ing money into the boxes loose, ex-
pecting rural carriers to find it and
put stamps on the letters, and some
of the lazy ones, rather than buy
stamps in advance and keep them on
hand for such purposes, have wrapped
coin in three or four thicknesses OF
paper all bound round with a WOODEN
string and dropped it in the box,
expecting carriers these cold mornings
to do the work they ought to have
done themselves in putting stamps on
letters mailed Now that the Christ
mas time is at hand, there are a few
things in the postal regulations that it
will be we'll to bear in mind and save
annoyance and less in the sending OF
letters and packages.

NAMES BIG INDUSTRY.

Deer hunting is one of the principal
industries of Maine. The season is
now nearly over, but the influx Of
hunters has brought lot of money
into circulation and the state is good
ways ahead on the proposition from
financial standpoint. Already 200 deer
have been received at Bangor for ship
ment and it is believed that all over
the state the slaughter of animals has
been over 10000
Maine has plenty Of deer so that a
few thousand less doesn' I make any
special difference and the hunters pay
well for the privilege OF shooting at
the animals and at each other The
state gets about $4,000 a year in big
game hunting fees and the sportsmen
spend about 100000 more in various
ways during their stay.

The MeddLer
"If the coat fits you. pr it on. 4"

More people every year are coming
to realize the wisdom as well as the
of church unity. The various
religious denominations might be Xix
ened to railroad lines all leading to
the same happy destination. Some PEG
pie prefer one route, others another;
but what does that matter so long as
I'll are headed for the same place? In
iced, it ought not to be necessary even
to have different tickets for the diff
fercnt routes The interchangeable
mileage idea is just as sound in re-
ligion as in railroading. Very fortu
natelv, The Meddler believes, the spirit
Of religious brotherhood is strong in
Brattleboro The local clergymen -
at least those who have worked in this
community for any length Of time -
realize the many advantages of CO.
operation and are always willing to
practice the get-together spirit when
any good cause presents itself The
Meddler hopes their opportunities in
this direction will be many.
