Logs are scarce and hard to get, and several big mills In Portland are operat ing only on day shifts. The cost of fir logs has advanced to the unprecedented prices of ?7 50 and ?S per thousand "feet. Hemlock logo are sold at from $4 25 to $5. The cause of the scarcity- and high prices is Increased consumption. The out put of logs has not kept pace with the demand. New mills have been construct ed and the capacity of many old mills hss been Increased. Loggers are more Independent than they used to be. Several years ago they had to do the offering. Now It has come to pasa that millowners have' to do the bidding and the two partite are turned about In their relations. Mlllmen once did scaling to suit themselves, but now the scaling is to the advantage of the loggers. Large areas of timber have been bought by Eastern speculators who refuse to rell at present prices. This la another stimulant to high prices of logs. Portland millowners, who up to six "months ago declined to get Into the scramble for timber lands, now find themselves compelled to get Into the game. "I don't want to own timber," said a prominent millman of thia city not long ago. "I want only to saw it." Tr!a man Is now one of the moat stren uous timber hunters In the bunch. A great deal of burned timber will be coming into market within the next five years. It will not weaken prices, how ever, because of the ever-growing de mand. Men In the business expect the value of timber to advance steadily. Ore gon and Washlrgton have the only great supply of timber left In the United States. The value of timber land in Ore gon and Washington has advanced 50, 75 and even ICO per cent in the past year. Great lnterrst is manifested In the burnt-over timber of SkamanIa and Clark Counties. These two districts suf fered severe losses last September. For ests containing 5,00.000.000 feet of tim ber were killed. In the basin of Washougal River 700.000.000 feet of tim ber in private ownership was burnt over and as much more, belonging to the state and National Governments was swept over by fire. Six companies own timber in that district. They are figuring on running a railroad up Washougal River. Unlrr' they do this they will lose prob. ably three-fourths of the timber. A rall road would save about two-thirds. The fir timber will have to be logged off within the next five or six years In order to save It from decay. The Washougal River and Its tributaries are not adequate to float out more than one-fourth of the timber In that time, and a railroad will be needed In order to carry on logging all the year round. Little, if any, hem lock wiil be saved, on account of Its quick deterioration. Large tracts remote In the mountains will never be reached, even by a railroad. Firs grow very fast In thin country "Within 50 years forests can be restored. In that time trees will grow to a di ameter of 20 Inches. This growth Is at tairrd under average conditions. Vary ing sol! and altitude cause varying re sults in the growth of forests. set ea o e 99 o e e O 9 99 9 o aa 09 99 o G9 e o 99 9 99 99 9 9 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 9 99 09 99 99 09 99 CO a 9 o OS CO 99 9 O 99 99 9 9 99 99 99 9 09 9 O 9 99 9 9 i eo GO 99 CO O o e 9 oo 99 eo 99 99 99 fl ee 99 pa oo OS St 9 S 9 9 O S 99 99 99 9 O 99 99 99 99 99 9 9 99 99 09 09 CO 99 OO o o 9 9 eo 9 0 9 99 e 99 O 9 09 99 99 9999 9999 AIDS BOYS AND GIRLS.

This little fellow was deserted by his mother, who left him In the care of a colored family, promising to pay his board. This promise she failed to keep and nothing has been heard from her since. After the County Commissioners had been consulted, the child" was brought to the office of the superintendent cf the Boys & Girls' Aid Society and there left, and the superin tendent describes the child as a typical forlbrn and homcleris waif. He was aged two and a hajf years and had not even a name. All that could be learned re specting this was that he was called Harry, The child was placed in the "Re ceiving Home" in August, 1899, and re mained there until October the same, year, when a childless couple from Eastern Washington visited the Institution in search of a boy. and took a fancy to Harry., who had much improved during his sojourn at the "Home." The couple took him on trial and after a year legally adopted him as thejr own child. The above picture was taken just after the adoption had been effected, he ttelng then, as near as could be ascertained, about three and a half years of age. He Is now the sunshine of a well-to-do farmer's Little Harry. home and will some day inherit all they have, so say his doting adopted parents.

"See that woman trying to board the car? Steps are too high for her. She'd have to be a clrcu3 performer to get up there without help. Now watch that gallant conductor. Ah, ha! isn't that fine? See him lift her? Almost hugged her, didn't he? All I blame him for is that lie -didn't hug her. Ain't she a beaut. I'll bet she doesn't want those steps made lower." Soon another car came along. Its steps were Just the same height as those of the other car. A woman old enough 'to be the conductor's grandmother tugged and struggled to clamber up. After several futile attempts, i In which she barked one of her shins, she succeeded. The con ductor remained stolidly on the platform, and budged only to yank the bell-rope. "What a pity all women are not young and pretty," sighed the man who had ad-; mired the gallantry of the first conductor. "But there's somethirjg better than gal lant conductors," responded an auditor. "What?" "Lower eteps," and at that moment an other car with high steps came along. HOW ABOUT YOUR TEETH?
