Solid Wood Reds.

OF the solid woods for bait-casting
rods hollywood takes first place. Il
is wonderful resilient wood, at
the same time tough and strong. 1t
makes mighty fine rod, but for the
average fisherman the price is so high
that it's just on the top shelf out of
reach.
Bethabara is a more commonly
known material of the solid-wood fam
lily, and you can get fine rod of this
wood for SO that will make a hand
some appearance and give you cast
er that will more than satisfy you. The
bethabara rod is a livelier caster !;
it is tough enough to stand hard han
ding, although careless use may warp
it.
A close second in casting power,
strength and resiliency comes green
heart, and this wood is far lighter
than bethabara, thus the rods of green
heart are considerably thicker than
those of bethabara and not any heav-
| Ter. Good grsenheart rods can be
bought for Sc and up.
/ OF the solid woods, Lakewood is by
far the cheapest and some years ago
had quite a following, however you will
see few in use today. 1t has tend.
ency to warp under strain, and even
atmospheric changes will have no
ticeable effect on 1t.

WANT NEN BIDS
 FOR LUMBER

Seattle, March 22-Bids for B. 100000 feet of lumber for the An chcrage division of the government railroad in Alaska will be called for shortly by c. E. Dole, purchasing agent for the Alaskan engineering commission. The order will replace the recent call for 12,O0O,0OO feet for the same division.
 March 10 bids on the original or der for the 12,OO0,OOO feet were opened, with a number of Portland and Everett firms submitting ten derh. The prices ranged from $175 OeO low to $2OO,OO0 high. Instead of making an award, the call will be readYertised and circulars issued for the smaller amount of material. Mir. Dole said yesterday that 6,OOO,OOO feet would suffice.
 The original order called for free alongside ship, ports of origin, but the terms of the new call have not yet been determined. It is likely, however, that they will be the same and the Columbia Barge Company and the transport Crook will handle the bulk of the shipments.

ALLEN SEEN
 IN SEATTLE

Seattle, March 22-According to reports received at the office of the sheriff Thursday, Or" P. V. AL len, sought by police and sheriff's offices throughout the state, has been outside of Seattle for only a brief time since his escape from tho county jail, March 4, and may still be in the city. He has adopt ed a disguise, according to these reports, and has even purposely placed himself in the path of po- ncemen in a rash test of their abil- ity to recognize him.
 The sheriff's office is inclined to give credence to the story of a woman who called over the tele- phone Thursday, saying that Dr." Allen is spending his time at the musical comedy shows and in cab arets, with no apparent intention of leaving the city. That he would be likely to do such a thing is the opinion of officers who have dealt with him. He is described as an easy-going, careless individual, who avoided any violence in the jail break and slammed the door in the faces of others who might have escaped with him and his four com panions, John Soudas, w. A. Coatz, Robert Ford and F. J. Dusky.

U-BOATS WON'T
 STOP WORK

Washington, D. C., March 15 In formation which former Ambassador Gerard has laid before the state de partment refutes various statements that Germany might be contemplat- ing altering her campaign of ruth lessness to avoid war with the Unit ed States.
 From evidence MT. Gerard has brought and that gathered from oth- CT sources, President Wilson and state department officials expect Germany is fully determined to con- tinue submarine warfare in viola tion of international law in face of the fact that such a policy prob ably will lead to war with the Un- tied States.
 President Wilson will continue with his plan, for putting the Unit ed States in a state of armed neu- trality and this state will continue until Germany forces an armed clash with an American merchant man CT until Germany abandons ruthless submarine warfare.
 MT. Gerard called at the state department today and amplified his report of yesterday. The former ambassador will probably remain here until late tonight or early in the morning and see President Wilson before his departure for New York to attend a public reception.
