BELLINGHAM, Dec. 27.-Following
on the heels of the announcement that
the Whatcom Falls mill will open
tomorrow with employment for 200

Improvement in commercial condi-
tions is in the ofIing and will be here
shortly
'We are on the upgrade" said Mr..
Donovan. The worst of the depres-
sion is over. Recovery from now on
will be steady. Permission to raise
rates per cent will cause the rail
roads to come into the market for
supplies and the general result will
be distinct revival in all lines in
the future.
"The Whatcom Falls mill will put
200 men to work next Monday. A. c.
Manning will employ 55 men at his
Geneva camp on the same day. We
shall need $50 men at our Larson
mill on January 4, and 40 men at

Eastern offices do the work expected
of them, the mill soon should run full

"This means the revival of logging

on the Northern Pacific railroads

that pay rolls tributary to this city

"The effect on all lines of business
on the first pay day will be apparent
at once. Men should not be invited

scheme OF opening their gymnasium

that the church has a floor space OF
about 5000 square feet, affording IA
cilities for indoor baseball, basket
ball, hand ball and other indoor
sports; second, that it will be neces
sary to put in shower baths and lock
ers and make few other alterations
costing about 100000, and that com
petent attendant should be in charge
at will be necessary to raise the
sum of $500 to carry out this plan
for the first year, and an equal sum
for each succeeding year. To pro
