A citizen, -who Is building a house, yesterday accused a logging man of putting the price of loga too high and so making the price of rough lumber here unreaeonably dear. The logger said the sawmill men alone were to blame In this matter. They had taken very large orders ahead, and kept run ning the mills night and day till the sup ply of logs became inadequate to the de mand. Then they ran the price up and outbid each other to secure logs. At present 19 per 1000 feet la being paid for good yellow flr logs, which sold o year ago for $0 to J7. And lumber which a year ago sold for 16 to $7 per 1000 feet now sells at J10 to J12 per thousand. The loggers were pleased to set more money for their logs of course, but they are not to blamo for the Increase of tho price. When logo became scarce and one mill man would Increase the price and took logs away from a competitor, this com petitor watched his chance to get even, and so logs Jumped 1 a thousand at one Jump. Now some of the mills have had to itop sawing at night, and some of the mlllmen say they are losing money on the contracts they are filling. Logging camps are being opened, and the probability la that tho price of logs will decline before long. Down about Grays Harbor and on the Sound, where the mills did not bite off quite so much and did not have to run nights, the Bupply of logs had not run short, and the price has not gone up as it has here. New Postaob Staups. Occasional samples of several ne-n) postage stamps, which have not yet been received for sale at the Postofflco here, have been coming in through the roalla for the pat week or so. One of these is a 13-cent stamp, bear ing a portrait of the late President Ben jamin Harrison, In the place of that of General Sherman. It is a very handsome stamp. The 13-cent stamp Is Intended for registered letters going to foreign coun tries, S cents for registration and 5 cents for postage. Another new stamp is a special delivery stamp bearing the picture of a boy on a bicycle. There to also a handsome new 2-cent stamp bearing a portrait of General 'Washington. Tho new S-cent stamp Is, however, generally con sidered the most beautiful of the new Issue. It bears a portrait of Martha Washington. As General Washington was the father of his country, Martha Wash ington, of course, was the mother, and the beautiful new stampn bearing their por traits aro a tribute to their memory from their only child, who has grown to be a big boy now. This Is the first time the portrait of a woman has appeared on a United States postage stamp. A lot of the 13-cent stamps have been ordered by Postmaster Croasman and will probably arrive in a few days. Rain Is Better Than- Cold. Just what sort of weather is to prevail for tho next month or so, depends upon whether the groundhog saw tho sun yesterday or not, when ho bobbed up out of his burrow. This depends upon where the burrow was located, as a few small patches widely scattered were visited by brief gllmpsea of sunshine, and probably not one ground hog in a hundred got a glimpse of even a umell of. It, However, February has come ana it is a short month, and will soon be over and gone. The probability is that there will be better and more Spring-tike weather after the 10th or 11th at further est. The weather to not so bad as It might be anyway. A man, who arrived home from the Bast yesterday and found -wall flowers and marigolds blooming In his garden, and even a few rather weary looking carnations and .a number of rows, not quite up to tho June standard, but still real rosea, said he thought the Oregon climate was all right, it was so very much better than anything of the kind he had seen In his Journey. The suffering he saw everywhere in tho Bast from cold and lack of fuel, makes him more content than ever with Oregon. FcomvE LiOgs Brought Back. The 900 logs belonging to the Portland Lumbering Company, which went adrift a week ago yesterday have nearly all been recovered, which to a good thing for the company as the value of the loga amounted to near ly (10,000. Three steamboats were started out after them at once, and yesterday after chasing about for a week, 'returned CO of them. The boats got ahead of all the logs that were afloat, before they had passed St. Helens. A boom was stretched out between two of the boata, which trapped the logs going down stream. The next thine was to hunt un the logs which had grounded along thr oanKs ana nearly an of these -were found and recovered. A few of the loirs cot as far down as Gable, but by lively work they were recovered, and all concerned leei nappy over the outcome. Firemen Get No Pat. For the first time since he has been in office the second day of the month has 'passed without tho City Treasurer having paid the members of the Fire Department their salaries. This to owing to the chancre In the ehartnr. The Council made no appropriations for salaries 01 nremen at the last meeting, ns the new charter was not in effect then. The Council will meet Wednesday and make appropriations and tho then make out warrants. The Bxecutlvo .uoara now Has to pass upon tho -bills of the Fire and Police Departments, In the place of the former Board of Com missioners, and aa the Executive Board does not meet until Friday, the boys are not likely to getthelr salaries be fore the end of tho wfepk Tn ih i.n. time, they may practice a judlcloua economy. Should Not Pat in Advance. Contrac tor Slemmons was on deck on Morrison street yesterday superintending the work 01 tunneling a sewer through under Sec ond street. He was covered with mud and glory, and waa maklntr nnnrnnrinfo remarks about a "dirt man" whom he had paid In advance for cleaning away the superfluous earth excavated, but who had jauca 10 00 tne work. Thia kept the street In a mess longer than was neces sary. Mr. Slemmons d-d poor paymasters, one who pays in advance and one who never paya, but the one who never pays always comes out ahead of the other. Chamber op Commerce to Meet.

Some clubs did not go out at all. Over on Columbia Slough, very few ducks were feen and still fewer shot. Very good shooting waa enjoyed at Dead Willows, where the ponds are" not Hooded by back water from the Columbia. James arW D. Honeyman shot nearly the limit In ducks and a few geese on their farm at 8cap- poose. Saturday. On some preserves a flight of ducka has come in which have not been fed and which are not in as good condition as tboee who haunt preserves whero a liberal supply of wheat is put out. There may be some canvasback shooting later, but the best duck shooting of the season la over. Want More Monet for Beer. Cattle focders fay that after feeding and fatten ing cattle all Winter, they should get more for them than was paid before they were fattened, and that It Is not right for' butchers to send to Utah -for beef cattle in order to keep down the price here. They would like to get a cents per pound live weight, while the butchers only offer Jl 10 to US per 100 pounds. The atory of the butchers Is different. They eay that the feeders tried to ratoe the price of cattle on them, and they sent to Utah for cattle In order to prevent the price of roasts, steaks and soupbones being advanced here. The public have only one Interest In this matter, which to not to have the retail price of meats Increased here, ror it to high enough now. Snow in the Mountains. T. J. Mau pln, who has had charge of tho headworks on Bull Run for the Water Committee for the past 11 years, was in the city yes terday. He says there is six inches of snow at the headworks, but In the moun tains about a mile away, there Is two feet. A lot of cattle have been snowed In on this side of the reserve, and men hunted for them till they got into enow two feet and' then they turned back. The cattle arc supposed to be in some ravine or little valley and will be able to live for a whilo on hazel brush and wild briars. They cannot digest the salal leaves, which are plentiful but tough. That Thet Mat But Bargains. School Clerk Allen was scraping 'about In the bottom of hto strong box yesterday, to see If he could find money enough to pay teachcrs their salaries Today. He said he was bound to pay the teachers If he had to borrow some money, as now that clearance sales and Vummage sales are on, and they can buy a dress for six-bits and a hat for two-blta, he does not desire that they should lose this opportunity to aecuro bargains. Mr. Allen always has tho Interest of the teachers at heart, as does everyone else, although sometimes they do not seem to appreciate it. To Celebrate Washington's Birth Dat. The Ladles Aid Society of the First Congregational Church will celebrate Washington day at itn regular meeting In the church parlors Wednesday, February 4. An unusually interesting programme will commence at 2:30. Dr. House will be the speaker of the afternoon. Patriotic music will be sung by Mrs. Rose Bloch Bauer.

Large flocks of robins were flitting' about town yester day. The pretty little grosbeaks, which usually come In when the anow gets deep In the mountains, have not put in an ap pearance yet, though from all accounts there is snow enough in all the mountains to drive the little fellows out. They will probably show up before long' and will be welcomed, as their pretty plumage of olive green with white and black mark ings, makes them ornamental to the parks and gardens they visit. To Keep Sidewalks Clean. A special officer Is, now on the move about town constantly for the purpose of seeing that the sidewalks are not obstructed or kept in a Httered-up condition.

That Is the first question that arose In nno-a (mii-Inn tion last nlcht at tho Mar- quam Theater after hearing Frank Daniels and his company in me new up--iuuu .um edy. "Miss Simplicity." book by R. A. Barnet and music by H. L. Hearts. The leading soloists and the chorus girls are pretty, young, and they have clear, tuneful voices. They sang with ease, ana aia not give one cold chills fearing tney wouia break on a high note. Their voices had plenty of sustaining power, and they Just put the men singers entirely In the shade. "Ml3 Simplicity" Is a medley of bright, catchy airs that please at tho moment and haunt one pleasantly afterward. The com edy has been on the road aoout two yeare, and has been a profitable Investment, for It has brought further fame and especially ducats to Frank Daniels. No wonder he looks Drosnerous. that his smile i3 as Hherry as ever, and that he and some of his people are adopting naugmy aiis. ak. the present time they are DasKing mem selvcs in the golden sunlight of success. and they are strictly "it." The story told in tho operatic comeay chlefly concerns Mademoiselle Clair de Loinvllle, played by Grace Orr Meyers; "Mv Man Blossoms." Frank Daniels, and Philip Montfort, the real King of a Zendo- Uke kingdom. Frank Daniels, twiair is mo daughter of a Count who has lived for a number of years In Paris, and Is ordered by her family to marry the King of Sau terelle. She has not seen His Majesty and tho latter has not seen her. When tho comedy begins Montfort is the new King, about to be crowned, and he steps on the stage accompanied by an English party who bear with them reminiscences of "A Runaway Girl." Rosalie, a beggar girl. charmingly played by Mai Lowery, wants to marry the King, ana she collides witn Clair, who. as a romantic maiden, is firm ly opposed to tho family edict that she Is to marry His Majesty. She and Rosalie change clothes and stations In life. Clair and Montfort fall In love with each other when they do meet, but she Is unaware of his real Identity, and to win her he re solves to become a peasant like herself. Montfort secretly tells his English friends who arrive with him to witness the coro nation festivities that he will not be the King, and that ho will give the "Job" to his man Blossoms, tho presiding angel of his automobile. He and Blossoms have not yet seen each other. PeoDle are Just beglnnlg at this point to wonder where Blossoms comes In, when a crash Is heard as an automobile bursts and Daniels, as "My Man Blossoms," comes flying through the air. wearing tho cos tume of a chaffeur, with his head and face partially protected by a flat hat and gog gles. Ho agrees to accept the kingship. and, of course, mixes matters up consid erably, lie ana ur. wnue x'cuei, a man of drugs, keep tho audience In constant laughter, although In ono Instance it would bo better taste to leave one remark unsaid. When Daniels wishes to cause an extra burst of laughter ho presses a but ton Bomcwhere In his left side, and there arises the familiar sound of an automobile horn. Finally the real King comes Into his own again after he has won an avowal from Clair that she loves him. Daniels' facial expressions last night were as whimsical as ever, and It was wonderful how a glance from his eyes or a move of his eyebrows would send the audience into spasms of laughter. His best songs are: "The Sunday School Boy" and "Babette." Both Miss Grace Orr Mey ers, a daughter of Annie Meyers, the well- known San Francisco singer, and Miss Mai Lowery have particularly pleasing soprano voices. Isabella d Armonde, as Margery, charms her bearers with her soprano in the duet "Love Me Little, Love Me Long." The costumes and stage effects are beau tiful. Daniels got one recall before the curtain, and mado a funny speech a la De Wolf Hopper. The audience- was one of the most brilliant of the season. "Miss Simplicity" will be the attraction at tho Marquam this and tomorrow evening. Fine Performance at Cordray's Miss Inez Forman. In "Tho Burglar and the Waif."

One of the positive successes of the present season, "Weary Willie walker," opena an engagement of four nights, start ing Wednesday, this week at Cordray's.

REQUEST ITS PASSAGE. Typographical Union Forirnrda Res olutions Favorlne Pierce Bill. Copies of a resolution passed by the local Typographical Union, advocating the passage of the Pierce bill, which pro vides that the Associated Press shall be deemed a common carrier, were forwarded yesterday to the Legislature at Salem. The International Typographical Union has, for a number of years, supported the idea of Government ownership of tele graph lines and the extension of all means of news dissemination, believing that the number of newspapers would thus be In creased. The local body considering the Pierce bill, to declare the Associated Prera and all similar organizations common car riers, to be in line with this policy, the passage 01 tne bill was requested.
