PRODUCTION BY sAWMiLLs.

The production of the sawmills of
the United States in 1916 was approx
imately 11.2 per cent greater than in
1915. This table, compiled by the
forest service, gives the reported cut
of lumber in 1915 and 1916 by f04
identical sawmills, arranged by prin-

these mills cut more than 100000

MARKET AT SPOKANE.

More interest is conferred in the
food supply than at any time in the
history of the nation. AS by declar-
ing war on Germany we have auto
matically aligned ourselves on the side
of the Allies, it is felt that we must
continue to ship foodstuffs abroad,
while at the same time we are com
PEELED to prepare for a larger domes-
tic demand. There is every indication
that the government will take steps
to conserve the food supply, and this
may mean system of price-fxing of
some sort, though just what is will
be is not now evident.
AS was to be expected, the market
showed sensational advances, prac-
tically every staple article on the list
participating in the upward move
ment. 1t is quite likely that this ad
day affair from now on, with no tell.
ing where it will stop.
Provisions.
Butter-The arrival of the grass
season has caused an increase in the
receipts of cream and butter fat with
the result that quotations this week
have been marked down &c from those
given last week, which make the fig
ures for Washington creamery $50
40c. This reduction is in line with
quotations on the coast and in the
east.
Cheese-Market is still very firm
and is inclined to go higher before it
goes lower. Quotations are around
26c for western and csc for Wiscon-
sin.
Eggs-Market is at about the same
level as last week, but receipts are
larger than any time this season,
which gives a weaker tone to the mar
ket. A decline is predicted, as mar
kets on the coast have been lowered
and it is a 10 to / shot that this mar
ket will follow suit.
Dressed Meats-With the advancing
prices being paid for livestock, fresh
meat quotations have been advanced
sharply during the past two weeks.
At the moment, steer beef is quoted
at 1515 @16c, COW beef 1411 @15c and
pork 23Q26c.
Lard and Cured Meats-Both hams
and bacon have ben advanced sharply
during the past two weeks. Hams are
quoted this week at 2S1Rc, boiled 4012c
and picnics 2O1sc. Bacon ranges from
35c to 37c, while lard holds at the
same figure as for the past couple OF
weeks-24c.
Fruits and Vegetables.

no change in the local market during
the week, with the exception that

MINING NOTES

Negotiations for the Donald group
of claims, at Flat Creek station, 30
miles east of Revelstoke, B. c., on the
c. p. r., were closed last week after
a year of investigation. The purchase
price was $35, 900. The expenditure of
a large sum of money on development
and equipment is proposed.
Transfer of the Monitor mine to the
Montana-Idaho Copper Co, negotiated
some time ago, was ratified by the
boards of the Monitor Consolidated
Copper Co. and the Montana-Idaho Co.
at meetings held Monday and Wednes-
day last, respectively. The valuation
is 100000, and the payment will be
made in stock of the Montana-ldaho
Co.
The Loon Lake Copper Co. has just
made the biggest strike in it's history.
The shoot lies in a body of large but
undetermined dimensions and is of a
shipping grade throughout, so far as
its development has proceeded. Sam
ping has shown a copper content OF
81 per cent. The ore is chalcopy-
rite. The strike was made on the

BIG FUSS is AROUSED
BY NEW WAR TAX BILL
Cause in Split in the House
of Representatives.

Washington=Unof accounts of
the work in the house ways and means
subcommittee framing the war tax bill
have aroused a storm. Democrats are
understood to be divided ON the pro-
posed income taxes, particularly the
rates on incomes of more than $780,
600, while republicans threaten trouble
over plans for taxes on excess profits
and incomes. They also promise to
fight for tariff legislation to raise part
of the $1,5OOOOO,OOO or more to be pro-
vided during the coming year.
Reports that the income tax exemp-
ton for single persons had been low
cred to $1,000 came as a surprise to
many committeeman. The understand
ing reached at an early meeting of the
full committee was that this exemp-
ton should be $500, and objection to
the $1,000 proposal probably will be
nonpartizan and strong.
An amendment of the excess profits
tax law to include many corporations
and persons not now embraced, instead
of merely increasing the present rates
will be urged vigorously by republic
ans. The present law, committeeman
said today, affects only one corpora
ton in three earning more than the
present exemption.
Efforts also will be made to amend
the law to reach unincorporated in
vestors, such as individual sheep anc
cattle raisers. The fight for taxing
large corporations with inflated STOCK
making less than per cent will be
continued vigorously.

Tess, which is a devastating disease
among young players, especially When
they begin to think they are good.

ways chase the most impossible shots.
Sometimes the .Qther youngsters
laughed to see this slip of kid dasI-

Johnston's motto, and it should be

When Bill began to divide the
tournament honors with Strachan his
stock stroke was chop. He became
known as the most confirmed chop
per in the club. lnexhaustible energy
and an unerring chop will accomplish
wonders. Billy won several trophies
with these and his nerve. His fore
arm drive, now the talk of the ten
mis- world, was later development
There are various stories abroad
as to how Johnston acquired this
stroke. Some of the boys claim that
1t is the old soup kitchen smash they
learned at the time of the fire. When
the people, driven from their homes
by the holocaust, were dwelling IN
the park a large soup kitchen stood
III tempting proximity to the tennis
courts. Miscnievous youngsters used
to delight in hitting the balls as often
as possible into the soup. ~
According to some of JohnstoniS
contemporaries in the club his cnop,
as the result of frequent shots at thls
tempting target, assumed the proper
tons OF the full forearm drive now
famous throughout the world. But
think the youngsters history is doubt
full as to aaies.

What healthy Nerves
Mean to You

A strong, vigorous nervous system
means health. strength and ability to
endure hardship and also to enjoy the
full pleasures Of life.
The man with healthy nerves accom-.
plishes greater tasks with less fatigue.
He has a clear eye. an active brain
and a sound body. He is enabled to
think better and work faster. He has
energy. With healthy nerves he can
overcome the hardest competition, be
successful and gain wealth.
The woman with healthy nerves is
never listless, weak or hopeless; she
is not irritable, she never suffers from
hystefia, she has a reserved surplus
OF endurance. Healthy nerves will
prevent the sleepless mother. although
worn with care and nursing, from a

or treble duty.
