and at one time believed to promise
development into a large city, to in

taken hold Of the proposition of SELL
ing its vacant land, building lots,
ETC., with the single idea in view of
upbuilding the community and add
ing to its general attractiveness.
The mayor of Steilacoom has ap-
pointed II of it's leading citizens as
a committee to undertake the work
and this committee plans to get all
the options possible on available
property of all descriptions, fix def
mite prices for the sale Of it at the
owners consent and then sell them.
A small commission is to be charged
by the committee on sales and this
money is to be turned over to the

Dealers will be given until May !
to dispose of the stock of clans on

CHANGERS PROMISE

Resolutions lndOrsing the Good
Chamber of Commerce for Saturday,

ers to transact as much of their busi-
ness in Olympia as possible on Fri

MIDDLE WEST SEES
BUSINESS IMPROVE
NO EFFORT TO CREATE BOOM,
BUT STEADY BETTERMENT
Is NOTED.

CHICAGO, April 80. - General
business throughout the Middle West
has shown improvement lately
although the gain has been slow and
accompanied by the conservatism
which has been characteristic of the
situation heretofore.
In nearly all lines Of trade this
condition prevails. No effort is being
made to create boom aspect. There
is good demand for merchandise OF
all descriptions, the level now at.
tanned being about equal to that OF
a year ago, and merchants, jobbers
and others believe that the volume
iwfll soon expand to the capacity OF
most mills and factories. There is
no desire, however, on the part OF
manufacturers and others to extend
their business beyond present factory
capacity.
Banking interests are pleased with
the situation as it now stands, and
believe that the methods being en-
ployed by business interests at pres
ent are bound to establish perma-
nently staple conditions. Money
rates at the leading financial centers
are low. and funds are easily obtain
able for legitimate purposes.
Advices from the interior and
from cities located in the crop belt
indicate that prospects for the grow
ing of grains are bright at this time,
all reports to the contrary notwith-
standing, and that at the proper time
funds will be available for the mar
keting of grain without the usual de-
mand upon Eastern money markets
for funds. Country banks are said
to be literally supplied with money
and the demand is not up to the
usual standard.
In the dry goods trade and In kim
dred lines. improvement has been
shown. 1t is felt by the leading
authorities that the tide has changed,
and that the tendency now is toward
expansion. 1t is pointed out that,
owing to reconstruction and elimina-
tion, and because of careful and in
telligent buying during the past few
months, business in the dry goods
line is on a better basis, and that this
will be reflected as soon as continued
seasonable weather permits.
The feeling among railroad Off
c;als is that a steady increase will be
shown in the volume Of business OF
the railroads throughout the greater
part of the present year.

Agitation is being conducted in
some quarters looking toward the
erection of a new and larger high
school building for Olympia, or else
the construction of additions to the
present building. What is to be done
will depend upon the action Of the
state capitol comm ission, which was
authorized by the last legislature to
buy the present high school site and
move the building across Main street
opposite it's present location. Super
intendent Beach says the presen'
building is already overcrowded and
that more room must be provided.

TRUST SAID
TO CONTROL PRICES
FEDERAL INVESTIGATION MAY
RESULT IN PROSECUTION OF
MANY DEALERS.

Northwest lumbermen will doubt
less be greatly interested in the re-
port that comes from the national
capital to the effect that wholesale
prosecutions of lumber dealers in
all sections of the United States may
result from a federal investigation
just completed of abnormal increases
in the price Of lumber used chiefly for
building purposes.
The inquiry was conducted by the
bureau of corporations, recently
merged into the federal trade COM
mission. The report, which will be
submitted within a month, it is un-
derstood, will make these disclosures:
Retail lumber dealers have a
nationwide combination. in VIOLA
ton of the Sherman antitrust
law and in restraint of trade.
The combination fixes prices.
restricts trade territory, and
stiles competition.
Retail dealers, by means of
boycotts against mail order
houses, department stores and
mills, make it almost impossible
for the consumer to buy lumber
without paying the combinations
percentage:
Lumber mills are prohibited by
the combine from selling their
products direct to the public, un-
less they pay the retailer of the
district 10 per cent of the pur-
chase price.
Mills that refuse to recognize
the combination of retailers and
their price schedules are subject
ed to attacks and ruinous boy
colts.
1t is asserted that the report will
show that the price of lumber to the
ultimate consumer has steadily
because Of the retailers
and that the mills have been
powerless to regulate the market on
the basis of supply and demand.
Competition is checked, according
to the information gathered. by as
signing trade territory to the dealers.
No retailer encroaches upon the ter
ritory of another, and any mill that
seeks, through selling agents or sales
blacklisted.
The situation in the lumber trade
will be reviewed by the
federal trade commission under the
unfair competition" clause OF the
act. 1t likewise will be subjected to
scrutiny by the department of Justice
under the antitrust law.

MOTHER OF
GRANGE DIES HERE
MADAME b. b. LORD PASSED
AWAY SATURDAY AT SONS
HOME.

Funeral services will be held at
Sinclairville, N. Y, Saturday for
Madame B. B. Lord, affectionately
known by Grangers all over the
United States as the patron mother
of the Pomona Grange" prominent
for years in the activities of the New
York State Grange, who died in this
city last Saturday afternoon at the
home Of her son. President C. j.
Lord, Of the Capital National bank,

the family home. for burial beside
his father, who died in 1904. Madame
Lord would have been Is years old
May %.
It was only q few weeks ago that
Mrs. Lords health began to give
away and finally on April 16 she was
forced to take to her bed. There
after she declined rapidly and.
though her death had been expected
by her immediate family, the end
came quite rapidly and was dis
ltinct surprise to those with whom
she had been associated during her
residence here with her son since
1905. The following statement by
Fred w. Lewis, secretary Of the
Washington State Grange, Of which
Mrs. Lord was an honorary deputy,
indicates the high regard in which
she was held in this state:
"Mrs. Lord was always actively
concerned with the welfare OF the
Grange and we have suffered great
loss in her death. She as much as
any one person was responsible for
the growth of the Grange, attending
every convention and suggesting
methods for the betterment Of the
Organization. She was the mother
of Grange work and the organization
will dearly cherish her memory in
years to come"
At the monthly meeting of the
Thurston County Pomona Grange
Wednesday resolutions paying a high
tribute to Madame Lord and praising
her for her years of work in the in
terest of the Grange. were adopted
an dordered printed in various
Grange papers. They refer to her as
"perhaps the best informed woman
in the order in the inner history of
the Grange" and as "always being
found in the line of progress and
urging by voice and writing the ad-
vancement of the Grange in all ways.
setting an example of what a good
patron should be-"
During her long residence In her
native state, Mrs. Lord was active
in the work of the New York Grange
and was for some time one Of its
deputies and lecturer up to the time
of her husbands death. when she
came to Washington. She was mas
ter of the Chautauqua county New
York; Grange and the Sinclairville

the state Grange and member OF

tauoua county Grange.

STORY RITEN'
BY the Messenger Boy

Another stone was laid on the new

probably it will ,be ready to buy
stamps in when the Yuropcen War is
done, which Is to take three years. ac-
cordin to Lord Kitchenette the Brit
isher general of the army in England.
Like all buildins built by the gov
ernment, the new post office is slow
but sure, and when finished it will
last for ever. All things by the gov
ernment is done right, which would be
better If private people did the same.
Lots of places that is built is all tum-

Harrisburg is proud of the govern

had more of EN-. The S13,000,000,-

Cap Hill is a fine building. and is the
biggest thing in a bird's-eye look over
the city; and we hope it will be ex-
tended as the populashun of Pennsil-
vany gets bigger in years to come.
We also hope they will make more
works of art with 1t. such as the nakid
statues on the front porch of the
