Lumhermen Ask Square Deal.

The West Coast Lumbermen's AssO-
citation is protesting against the ap-
plication of the railroads for hOri-
zontal increase of freight rates OF Is
per cent, and advances some good
reasons for the protest. The associa.
ton has been assigned limited time on
May 80, to combat the proposed in
crease, and alleges the time is too
short. Three reasons are advanced
against the increase, from the West
Coast lumberman's standpoint:
First, that owing to their greater
distance from markets than their COM
petitors, a raise of rates would dis
turb the present rate relationship, and
prove a serious handicap to this coast
in the markets of the East and Middle
West. Second, objection is made to
any change in the present rates previ-
Gus to our shippers being given an
opportunity to present their position
in the matter.
The third reason should carry
weight with the commission upon the
grounds of equity. 1t is that there
are now some 10000 carloads of lum-
Der in the Northwest sold upon de-
livered basis which manufacturers
have been unable to move on account
of lack of equipment furnished by
the railroad companies, and. that any
advance in rate on this business would
have to be paid by the shipper.
1t is believed the state delegation
in congress will aid the association
in this contest for a square deal.

CHAPTER TX.
The Damascus Road.

1t argued no real lack Of sisterly
affection that Rose didn't want to see
Portia that morning. Even if there
had been no other reason, being found
in bed at half-past ten in the morning
by a sister who inflexibly opened her
little shop at half-past eight, regard
less of bad weather, backaches, and
other potentially valid excuses, was
enough to make one feel apologize
and worthless. Rose could truthfully
say that she was feeling wretehed.
But Portia would sit there, slim and
erect, in little STRAIGHTFORWARD chair,
and whatever perfunctory commisera-
ton she might manage to express, the
look of her fine eyebrows would be
skeptieal.
But Roses shrinking from a talk
with Portia that morning was a mild
feeling compared with Portals dread
of the impending talk with Rose.
Twice she had walked by the per-
feet doorway of the McCrea house be-
fore she entered it, because she
shrank from the ordeal that awaited
her in there.
They had been seeing each other
with reasonable frequency all winter.
The Aldriches had Portia and her
mother in to a family dinner pretty
often, and always came out to Edge
water for a one-o'clock dinner with
the Stantons on Sunday.
Mrs. Stanton had taken a great lik-
ing to Rodney. His manner toward
her had just the blend of Difference
and breezy Internationally that
pleased her. He showed an unending
interest in the Woman Movement
never tired of drawing from his
mother-in-law the story of her labors
and the exposition of her beliefs. Some
times he argued with her playfully in
order to get her started. More often,
and so far as Portia could see, quite
seriously, he professed himself In full
accord with her views.
The reason why these family parties
were at an end was what Portia came
to tell Rose this morning. She hoped
she'd be able to tell it gently.
Rose greeted her with a "Hello,
angel! Why didn't you come right
up? Isn't it disgraceful to be lying
around in bed like this In the middle
of the morning?"
Il don't know" said Portia. "Might
as well stay in bed, if you've nothing
to do when you get up" She meant
it to sound good-humored, but was
afraid it didn't. Anyhow" she add
