Their Losses.

The lumber manufacturers located
in the southern states, east of the
Mississippi river, are greatly aroused
over the attempt of the railroads OF
the Southeastern District to make an
advance in freight rates from theiI
mills to what is known as central
freight association territory, which
territory embraces all points in the
state of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and
Michigan, together with rates to GER
tain portions OF Pennsylvania, West
Virginia and New York.
This situation Will greatly affect

as practically all sales are made de
livered al destination. and this con
templated advance viii, therefore
mean that the yellow pine maRufac-
turers vii. be practically compelled
to absorb whatever additional freight
is added to the present rates. as no
change in the freight rates from mills
west of the Mississippi river is con
templated by the railroads in that sec
tion.
Business Demorelized
For the past two years the lumber
business in the South has been in a
very demoralized condition Owing
to the extremely low prices they have
been able to secure for their stock,
many of the smaller mills have been
compelled to shut down their opera
tons entirely. while the larger plants
were compelled to curtail their pro
duction. In fact it is safe to say that
the yellow pine manufacturers who
continued operations during the de-
preston Immediately before, and until
recently, were operating at loss to
themselves. 1t is true that the yellow
pine market has shown a tendency to
advance during the past sixty to nine
ty days, but this advance has been
largely in special cuttings for the va
rious railroads and car companies,
and while there has been an advance,
also, in the yard trade, the present
asking prices of the mills in this sec
tion on their stock as ii runs in the
mills will enable the lumber manufac-
turers to recoup only small portion
of the losses they have sustained dur.
ing the past two years.
Prices Still Low.

Commissioner Lynch pointed out sew
eral weeks ago could be inaugurated
on the gap.
Several thousand bags filled with
sand and other deposits that had been
washed upon the River Front walk
are being utilized by Engineer E. w.
Cowden to form the Golfer dams under
the bridge. Because of the extreme
high stage of the stream the men are
compelled to work in the water to
their waists and shoulders. One of
the lower Golfer dams has been prac-
tically constructed and the pumps
were busy to-day keeping the basin
cleared. Frame forms for the steps
have been moved to the shore and the
big concrete mixer near by is ready
and waiting to begin business.
While contractors generally admit
that the river conditions are unusual.
they declare that the gap can be clos
ed in time for the celebration Septem-
ber 2S-2+-25. They point out, as Mr..
Lynch has said, that it may be neces-
sary to put night gangs on the job.

One-Piece Bathing Suits

Russian Version of Riga
Fight Issued at Capital

,k4g5YS-nS, Aug /25-The naval opera
IN z in ne gulf of Riga are described
in "a seliofticial statement issued at
Petr6g4t and transmitted to the Reu-
ter Telegram Company as an unequal
combat between the old Russian bat
tleship Slava and German dread
naughts.
The importance of this fight" the
statement says. consisted in pre-
venting the Germans for a certain
time from forcing our position. Calm,
foggy conditions favored the enemy's
operations, enabling them to escape
our observation and proceed more
quietly with the work of mine de-
stroying. The operations. neverthe-
less. cost the Germans some vessels
and one cruiser which blew up on
mines.
The night of the 18th the enemy
sent into the gulf two of his best tor
pedoboat destroyers to attack the
Slava which had prevented his opera
tions at dawn. These torpedoboats
were unable to find the Slava but while
proceeding in the region of their
squadrons encountered our torpedo
boat destroyer Novik which imme-
diately engaged them.
After twenty minutes of fierce
fighting the leading enemy torpedo
boat had her funnel demolished and
suffered severe damage which COM
PEELED her to take 10 flight. The
other torpedoboat which went to the
assistance of her consort also gave
up the fight. and soon afterwards the
more seriously damaged vessel ap-
parently sank. 1t is reported that in
addition TO the German losses between
the 18th and 22d already announced
in official communications another
German auxiliary cruiser was sunk "
The Slava is vessel of 1856 tons
which was laid down in 1902. Three
sister ships were sunk in the battle of

fourth was captured the next day and
