The high water makes the transportation by steam boats of lumber as freight rather trying on account of the trouble of landing it. 6ome 40,000 feet of cedar from down the Columbia was landed on Front street yes terday. It was wheeled over a temporary plank roadway and piled on the pavement. Cedar lumber Is not bo plentiful as it used to be and sash and door factories do not accumulate large supplies ahead, and must get it the- best way they can in tlmea like the present. It costs from $16 to $30 per thousand feet, and considerable is now received here by rail from Puget Sound. "With the cedar was a lot of fine, clear. 12x12 sticks of yellow fir, which are to be used as columns for porches and verandas In the place of cedar. Architects are favoring this change, and much fir is now being used In the place of cedar for pillars, a lozen carloads where there used to be one. Of course it requires the best, clear of knots and perfect in every way and it Is so much stronger than cedar. A great deal of fir, flat sawed. Is now being used for Inside finish. For floors and steps a vertical grain is necessary, but Eastern people are beginning to realise the value of Oregon fir and the demand is rapidly increasing, and fir lumber for in side finishing is being shipped all over the "West and clear to the Atlantic sea board. One mill here was run nearly all last year on flr finishing lumber for a New York house, which is using it for paneling, casing, wainscoting, and in fact, for all house finishing, exterior and in terior. It is prepared by steaming It at a I high degree or heat, wmcn kius tne pitcn and softens It, so that it is easy to work. The old style of drying in the air did not kill the pitch as steaming does. Some day clear fir will be as scarce as cedar is now and future generations will have to use Iron and straw paper boards, such as are now used sometimes in wainscoting. Hint for Outing Trips. A woman who has been looking ahead and planning for an outing for her family called yesterday on a neighboring family of four, which has Just returned from San Francisco, and secured an Idea about outings. She noticed a very large basket of magnificent oranges, the best navels, such as cost 60 cents a dozen In the market, and ex pressed some surprise at such an exten sive investment in fruit. One of the chil dren explained by saying that at every meal on board the steamer "Papa" had ordered all hands to take an orange and carry It to their room. As there were four of them, they thus secured a dozen fine oranges every day, and as this was kept up "a coming and a going," when they reached home they had nearly a box full. The visitor has about decided to take her family on a vacation trip to San Fran clsco by steamer, as her flock numbers six, and there are other things which might be stored away as well as oranges and, if they had good luck, they might ac cumulate enough provisions on the round trip to last the remainder of the Summer. surprise to the Farmers. Many vis itors from the country who were strolling aoout town yesterday were astonished to see the display of -fresh fruits and vege tables made. There were not onjy straw berries and cherries, but apples, peaches, grapes, muskmelons. tomatoes, green corn, almost everything except water melons. As one of the visitors said: "Here they have ripe and ready for use all the things we In the country are just prepar ing to plant." He was astonished when told that the grapes which were of the seedless Sultana variety, and the musk melons as well, come all the way from Yuma, Ariz., and the tomatoes all the way from Mississippi. These luxuries are all very nice, but they come high and are not so good as those the farmers will have in their own gardens in the proper season. Minino Men "Wiio, Organize. Alining men in this state are preparing to organ ize a State Mining Association, such as has been In existence In California, Ne vada and other states on this Coast.

The market Is rather plentifully supplied with chickens at present, ranging all the way from huge roosters as tall and big as kangaroos down to tiny broilers but little larger than canary birds. The water has spread over many farms along the. rivers and driven the poultry into the dooryards, and for fear of its going higher, people are shipping the chickens oft to market out of danger.

A fine I specimen ol. a mastodon's tooth weighing iVt pounds, and measuring 7 Inches long 34 inches wide across the grinding sur face, and 6 inches deep, was brought to the city yesterday by "William Miller, a pioneer of 1849. who lives in Douglass County. He was exhibiting it to a num ber of pioneers yesterday and said he had been offered $10 for it. but thought ne would present It to the free museum in the City Hall. It was found by his son In the bed of a small creek not far from Drain, Douglas County, about three years ago. At that time a hunter said that while hunting in the hills not far from where the tooth was found some four years be fore, he had come across the skeleton of a huge animal, probably a mastodon. Search was made for these bones a num ber of times, but they could never be found. It was supposed that the brush had grown over them and concealed them. The tooth is a very fine and perfect speci men, the enameled bridges across the face being in condition for active service, and a skeleton to match it would be very valuable. From a tooth of any kind thus found scientists nowadays are able to make a perfect picture of the animal It belonged to so they say, but the animal they picture is not like anything ever seen by mortal man, and if they make a mis take, no one can prove it, Oregon Cloth the Best. A prominent merchant of this city, who Is getting ready td start on a business trip East In week or two, was encountered In a tailor shop yesterday having a new suit fitted. A friend who happened in at the time, said: "I should think that, as you are going- East, you would put off getting a new suit till you arrive there, and per haps get it cheaper or better." "I make it a point to spend all the money here that I can." was the reply. "Not only do I patronize a home tailor, but I use home made cloth. We have the best of wool here, and," holding out a sleeve of his new garment, "I'd like to know where any better cloth than that can be found. It Is better than any Imported broadcloth, which Is hard and stiff and wears shiny and is not to be compared with the fine worsteds made In the mills in Oregon." As he was speaking, be tightened one of his suspenders and remarked that he could not find any that entirely suited him. The tailor said: "If you can Invent a suspend' er, which, without being too complicated, will pull up your pants in front when you sit down, and pull them up behind when you rise up, you will have a fortune In the invention. I have worked some on such a suspender." he continued, "but have never been able to get it quite right," Horses Rescued bt Humane Societt. Some ten or 12 horses which were being pastured on the bottom south of the city were surrounded by the rising water sev eral days ago and driven to an elevated place near the bank of the river. They were very crowded and uncomfortable there and as there was no food for them Mr. Shanahan. of the Society for the Pre vention of Cruelty to Animals went up to look after them and see that the party in charge removed them. It was neces sary to swim them some distance to the shore at the foot of Glbbs street. On the way one of them threw up his head and balked, and was about to sink. A boat was brought alongside and his head pulled over the gunwale and an effort made to tow him to the shore, but he struggled so that ho nearly upset the boat and finally pulled away and sank and was drowned. It was found that ,two of his feet were very badly Injured and about ready to drop off, which probably accounts for. his determination to drown himself. Another of the horses, which succeeded In reaching the shore was found to have a bad foot, caused by having a nail run Into It. The hoof appeared to be about ready to drop off, and Mr. Shanahan decided that he ought to be put an end to. He was ac cordingly shot by a policeman. Boxing. Boxing, Boxing. Boxing, Boxing. Boxing.

Crrr Ordinance Violated. There is a city ordinance in force forbidding the posting of advertisements on electric light and other poles about the streets of the city which Is being violated. The habit of posting and painting advertisements on such poles was carried to such lengths some time ago that, the disfigurement of the poles became a nuisance and an ordl nance was passed to put a stop to the practice. The worst offenders appear to be contractors for concrete sidewalks and a dealer In cement A fine is provided for violation of the ordinance, and it is prob able that some of the violators will be arrested and fined soon. People in front of whose property the. poles are disfigured are tearing down some of the advertise ments. iO liRINO LETTER CARRIERS HERE IN 1903.

Another lost some of his toes by a rail falling on them and a third received a thump on the head which rond. ered him unfit for work.

Fnll Information for Settlers About the Paclnc Xortbvreat, The" edition of "Oregon, Washing ton, Idaho and Their Resources." the book published yearly by the advertising department of the O. R. & N. Co., was received yesterday from the printers, and is a great credit to the company, and to the Southern Pacific Company, which this year Joins in Its publication, and to Rlnaldo M. Hall, the advertising agent) of the O. R. & N. Co., who has prepared j iu jiua u. ia.siei.uiiy aesignea cover, on which Is an allegorical figure of Progress, and Is printed la large type on good pa per. Of the 88 pages 27 are devoted to illustrations, all beautiful half-tones. The frontispiece is a- cut of the gold medal for grain grown along the O. R. & N. road, awarded at the Paris Exposi tion. The first chapter Is a general de scription of the Pacific Northwest, and many topics are discussed in this edi tion for the first time, every Industry and subject of interest to the homeseek er being taken up in turn. Thus one chapter tells of the area of public lands undertaken In the three States and how to secure lt,and gives the value of farm land; another tells of the school advantages. with admirable completeness; another describes the character of the soil In-the different sections; other new ones tell of dairying, grasses and forage plants, veg etable products, hop-raising, r irrigation, markets open to the products. A good feature in the chapter on grain-growing Is a comparison of the cost of produc tion and profit in the Pacific Northwest and the Red River 'Valley. From infor mation obtained from authorities in each section it is deduced that the profit on an acre of Eastern Washington wheat s three times that on an acre of Red River wheat. This chapter gives Individual in stances of the crops raised, telling the name and address of the farmer in ques tion: This is the first large publication pre pared by Mr. Hall since he entered upon his present duties a few months ago, and It shows that he knew what the Intend ing settler wanted, and gives It It In cludes a good map of the three States, which will be a great aid to tho settler.

Slsler, general agent In Portland of the North-Western line, from his head quarters, announces the beginning of rate war among the seven railroads run ning between Chicago and the Twin Cities. The telegram states that, effective on June 20, the one-way rate between those points will be SS Instead of $11.50 as now The cut Is the result of a reduction of Its schedule time by the Northwestern line to 12 hours, that road having aban doned the policy of making concessions to Its competitors In this particular.
