CHICAGO LEADING
LUMBER MARKET
WINDY CITY LEADS WORLD IN
DISTRIBUTION OF LUMBER
SHOWN BY REPORT

CHICAGO, Ill.-Chicago continues
to maintain its position as the world s
greatest lumber distributing market
says a prominent lumberman in the
Chicago Daily News. The year 1919
represents the most varied conditions
in the history of the business. After
the signing of the armistice, there
was hesitancy in every line of trade
and especially in the lumber industry.
March brought improvement over the
sluggish demand Of January and Feb
ruary and as the spring advanced the
shortage of homes became more ap-
parent and with the Gown Your
Home" propaganda conducted by
many agencies, there came a keen de-
mand for lumber in May, which has
been increasing ever since
The building strike during the sum
mer resulted in a practical tie-up of
all construction work. Not only did
a heavy loss fall upon employees be-
cause of stoppage of wages and did
the public suffer because of lack of
homes but the city witnessed the post
ponment, in some cases indefinitely,
of construction of many manufactur-
ing and other substantial buildings.
Prospects for a big building year
in 1920 are exceptionally good, es-
pecially if the expected replenishment
of cars and railroad construction by
the railroad administration is realiz-
ed. The indications are for a firm
market, continues this lumber au-
thority, adding "When the public ac-
cepts the idea that there will be no
material decline in lumber prices,
and dismisses the thought that before
long it may be able to build as
cheaply as in pre-war days, building
will not be delayed"
Large stocks are still available in
the various lumber yards of the city
and the prospects for the future are
bright, both for the lumber business
and for the public which is in great
need of additional housing facilities.

SUGAR BEET GROWERS
WANT HIGHER PRICES
CONVENTION, AT DENVER WILL
DEMAND BETTER PRICES
FOR BEETS IN u. S.

DENVER, Col.-Five hundred dele
gates representing sugar beet grow
ers' organizations of Colorado, Wyo-
ming, Nebraska, Idaho, Utah, Wash
ington, Wisconsin and Michigan
gathered here today to attend the
first annual convention of the beet
growers.
The primary object of the conven-
ton, which will continue for three
days, is the formation of coopera-
tive organization which will handle
the entire beet output in a manner
somewhat similar to that used by the
citrus growers of California in mar
keting their products.
The meeting of the beetgrowers'
representatives with the official rep
resentatives of the governments
anti-high cost Of living department
marked the climax of a full days
program, also featured by an address
by Samuel Thompson, vice chairman
of the federal trade commission.
The beet growers pointed out that
the advance they sought for the raw
product SHOULD be absorbed from
the alleged exhorbitant profits of the
sugar companies"
The beet growers propose a sliding
scale, upon which basis the price the
factory gets for it's product would de-
termlne the price the beet grower
gets.

GOVERNOR COOLIDGE
NOT A CANDIDATE
MAN WHO BUSTED POLICE
MANS STRIKE WILL NOT ASK
PRESIDENTIAL OFFICE

BOSTON-Governor Coolidge de-
clared today that he was not and
never had been candidate for presi-
dent, and that he would not enter a
contest for the Massachusetts, dele
cation to the republican national
convention. He did not say he would
oppose the presentation of his name
at the Chicago convention, but was
emphatic in his assertion that he
would not permit the imputation that
he had used the office of governor to
promote his own interests through
the selection of delegates.
In a statement for the press Gov
ernor Coolidge said in part:
"The times require of men charged
with public responsibility a single
ness of purpose. The tendency of the
present is the almost universal grasp
ing for power in high places and in
low to the exclusion of the discharge
of obligations. It is always we'll for
men to walk humbly.

.MOONSH|AE WH|SKEY
IN WEST VIRGINIA
INTERNAL REVENUE OFFICERS
WATCHING ILLICIT DISTIL-
LERIES THERE

CHARLESTOWN, W. Va.-The
manufacture and sale of moonshine
whiskey in the mountains of South
ern West Virginia is claiming the
close attention of W. S. Ha1lanan
prohibition commissioner, who with
a large force Of deputies continues
to raid and arrest almost weekly.
There have been times in the last
few weeks when the officers have met
determined resistance, and already
two men, Preston Mullens, an alleged
moonshiner, and John D. Kennedy, a
deputy sheriff, have lost their lives
in the campaign.
This fight, the most serious in re-
cent years, occurred in the Panther
creek section of Mcdowell county, on
the Virginia border Panther creek,
the prohibition authorities say, is one
of the most active moonshining dis
tricts in the state. There, according
to Mr.. Hallanan, have gathered some
OF the most famous manufacturers of
moonshine from Buchanan county,
Virginia. They know all that is to
be known about the industry, and
some of them are famed for the
qualities of their Corn liquor" Us
ually their stills are extremely diff
flcult to locate, but gradually the pro
hibition officers are hunting them out
and destroying them.
There is another kind of moon
sinner in that section who is giving
the officers much trouble. He makes
his moonshine as quickly as possible,
markets it with the least delay, and
then moves his still to some other
place
The country is mountainous and
rough with many fertil valleys. These
valleys, the commissioners have dis
covered, were this year used to a
large extent for the growing of sug
ar cane, the high price of sugar hay
ing driven some of the old time moon
sinners to producing what they need
ed for domestic and moonshine pur-
poses.

FLOODS CAUSED BY
RECENT HEAVY RAIN
RAILROAD TRACKS WASHED
OUT, TRAINS HELD UP AND
COUNTRY FLOODED

The heavy downpour of rain Sat
urday night to Monday morning
caused floods throughout the Inland
Empire. Lewiston reports flood con-
ditions tying up trains, washing out
railroad tracks and doing immense
damage. A passenger train on the
Lewiston Riparia branch which runs
along the bank of Snake river, was
held up by washout at Bishop and
the steamer Spokane" went to take
the passengers off and take them to
Lewiston. Ice held the steamer at
Indian over night.
A freight train was wrecked, the
engine going into the ditch and many
cars being demolished. A wrecking
train started to remove the wreck
and was held up by an engine that
had gone through bridge. The train
from Spokane to Lewiston was held
got no further than the stock yards
at Lewiston, the passenger being
taken off there and taken to town in
cabs and taxis, the track being under
water.
Colfax reports flood conditions with
the electric railroad bridge washed
out between town and the fair
grounds and every stream bank full
and flooding low lands nearby.
Walla Walla is isolated from the
rest Of the world as the railroads are
washed out all around that city and
the low lands are lakes and the city
water pipes are filled with liquid
mud. Train service is demoralized
on many railroads in Washington,
Oregon and Idaho.

SPECIAL VEN|RE
FOR |. v. v. TRIAL
THREE HUNDRED TALESMEN
CALLED AT MONTESANO IN
GREAT MURDER CASE

MONTESANO, Wash.-A special
venire Of 300 talesmen reported in
the, superior court here this morning
on the second day of the trial of II
alleged Industrial Workers Of the
World charged with first degree muir
der in connection with the Centralia
armistice day shooting. Nearly 100
of the venire asked to be excused
Two temporary jurors were in the
box at the opening of court.
The two temporarily passed were
John C. Connor of Montesano, for
mer liquor dealer, and Timothy Mar
tin Of Hoquiam, timberman.
The examination of Connor con-
sumed nearly the entire afternoon
session, and challenge for cause was
made by the defense. After the chal-
lenge was denied, the defense made
effort to impeach the testimony of
-Connor, renewing it's challenge, which
the court denied second time.
Martin was challenged for cause by
the prosecution, but the court denied
the challenge. Both temporary jurors
are subject to peremptory challenge.
The lengthy examination of Connor
was due to the defense's attempt to
show that he had an opinion after
he had admitted reading newspapers
and editorials upon the Centralia
shootings. The temporary juror in
sisted he had formed no opinion and
declared that he felt that he could
give the defendants a fair and impair
tial trial. The fact that he had been
one of the committee which solicited
subscriptions in adjacent lumber
camps during the war, and that one
or more alleged members of the I. w.
W. had been driven from lumber
camps for refusing to subscribe to
these funds, he said, would not influ-
ence his verdict. He also declared
that the fact that w. H. Abel, one Of
the attorneys for the prosecution, had
once performed some work for him,
would not affect his verdict
