WHITE JURY DISAGREES.
Ono Member Reported to Have Held
Out for Acquittal in Assault Case

Six hours deliberation Wednesday
night and two or three more Thurs
day morning were not sufficient to
bring about verdict from the jury
in the, local superior court which
heard the trial of Sam White, on a
charge of second degree assault, and
they finally reported a disagreement
and were dismissed. Courthouse ru-
NOR had it that from the start the
jury stood II for conviction and one
for acquittal.
The charge against White grew out
of an alteration at a local garage on
the evening of November 25, when
he was alleged to have assaulted his
nephew. j. c. White, and to have
drawn Z knife and threatened to kill
him. ]. c. White and the garage en-
ployes testified as to the incident.
Sam White, testifying in his own de-
fense, said he had been drinking that
night and could not remember what
happened.

BIG YEAR FOR RAILROADS.
Net Earnings of Big Lines More Than
Billion Dollars in 1915.

More than one billion dollars net
income from operations was made by
the railroads of the country during
the year just closed. The huge total
is the peak of prosperity in railroad
operations and stands more than one
third higher than the total of 1913
hitherto the banner year.
Statistics gathered by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission, COM
plete for nine months and made the
basis for calculation for the entire
year, indicate that the total net in
come from operations was approx
mately $1,098, 100000. For the first
nine months complete returns show
$785,558,266. Even this does not
represent the full amount, as roads
whose income is less than $1,000, 600
are not included.

Extra Session Likely.

Unless congress passes the import
ant features of the presidents recon-
mendations regarding railroad legis-
lation, 1t is probable that a special
session will be called after March I.
The president expects congress to put
through the major portion of such
legislation between now and adjourn

Newlands commission. now dealing
with the subject. will have to be
granted an extension Of time by con-
gress in order to complete its labor.

The value Of the mine output OF
gold, silver, copper. lead and zinc in
Washington increased from $744.oS3
In 1915 to approximately $2.01S,000
in 1916, according to the preliminary
estimates Of c. N. Gerry. Of the Unit
ed States geological survey. This is
the record output of the state in
value. On account Of the increase in
the prices of the various metals the
value Of the output was nearly three
times that in 1915. The quantities Of
the metal produced also notably IN
creased.

LUMBERMEN EXPECT
PROSPEROUS YEAR
REVIEW OF 1916 GIVES PROMISE
FOR GOOD TIMES DURING
1917.

The lumber industry of the Pacific
Northwest is entering the new year
with the brightest prospects that 1t
has faced in many seasons. Lumber
men expect that 1917 will be the year
of the industry's greatest prosperity.
and their expectations seem to be
founded ON q reasonable basis.
The lumber market at the present
time is very strong and the tendency
is steadily upward. The car short
age, and the heavy demand from the
railroads for new equipment, are Inn
portant factors In this condition.
Nevertheless. there is . healthy de-
mand from the Middle Western retail
yards and from building centers. and
the Western mills are facing for the
first time in years . market where the
demand is greater than the produc-
ton.
Remarkable for Changes.
Reviewing the past year in the
Puget Sound country. lumbermen
point out that the period has been
remarkable for its many changes and,
most of all, for the restoration Of con-
fidence in the lumber industry. When
the year 1915 opened It found a
condition of marked depression.
This was SO widespread that the
manufacturers hailed as q godsend q
series Of storms that practically
stopped production for six weeks.
Following this tie-up. there was an
advance in prices due to the short
age. but this quickly faded as the old
evil, over-production, again devel-
oped. Prices declined faster than
they had previously advanced. and
by summer conditions we're worse. II
anything, than before. Then began
the gradual revival which has cul-
minated in the strongest lumber
market seen on the coast in years.
The Christmas shutdown this
year was not welcomed by the mills
generally, though for the past three
years it has been felt to be a check
on the production of too much lum-
Der. The changed conditions are
we'll illustrated by this reversal. All
the mills now closed will reopen at
the earliest possible moment. This
year, too. reports show that the mills
are acting with more wisdom and.
when unable because of the car
shortage to fill orders, are holding
down on production.
Lesson Learned Now.
Many lumbermen declare that the
