T
00 MM SHINGLES
Washington Mills Will Close
Down for Two Months.
NEW MARKETS ARE NEEDED
Output of the State Increases Each
Year, So That the Temporary
Cessation Barely Keeps
Vp the Prices.
PRATTLE. Wash.. Dec. 1. (Special.)
Practically all the shingle mills of
this state have agreed to close down
between December 15 and February 18
to prevent an overproduction of
shingles and a consequent demoraliza
tion of the shingle market. A portion
of the Oregon mills have offered to
unite with the producers of this state
and meetings are in progress with
British Columbia manufacturers to get
them into the combination. A confer
ence with combination mills, which
have a big shingle output, will follow.
On top of the car shortage that has
prevailed throughout the year, the
floods have tied up shingle shipments
during November until the stocks piled
up at all the mill plants are so large
as t6 be a serious jnenace to the trade.
One mill is said to have 40,000,000
shingles plied in the open, exposed to
damage by the weather, and it is im
possible now to estimate the total stor
ed under cover.
Aside from the car shortage and
flood menaces, the increase In the num
ber of mills and the gain in production
Is a danger to the nmrket that neces
sitates some curtailment. With the in
creased output during the past year it
Is estimated by shingle . authorities
that the mills of this state can, with
in seven months, turn out the cedar
shingles' that will he consumed in a
year's time in all the markets that
Washington manufacturers now reach.
The. annual closedowns are under
stood as merely a temporary expe
dient and a hard tight will be made
to exploit new markets. But in the
meantime the menace of overproduc
tion and a depreciation in prices is
so serious that shingle manufacturers
are skeptical as to whether the Winter
shutdown will be sufficient.
An increase of 15 per cent is esti
mated to have been made in the capa
city of Washington shingle mills dur
ing the past year. The seriousness of
this gain Is shown by the fact that an
increase of 8'i per cent in
the output is equivalent to a month's
production. In other words, without
the opening of new markets, each 8 "4
per cent increase in output means an
other month's closedown to prevent the
accumulation of stock that cannot be
sold.
Already this year there have been
four months of curtailment in the
shingle manufacture. For "two Winter
months the mills were shut down ab
solutely on a closing agreement. An
other two weeks were added in May.
Then during the Summer followed the
closing of mills sufficient to mean an
other two weeks' shutdown. This Fall
the car shortage and floods have add
ed another month.
With all this loss of time, the yards
are filled with shingles and the mar
ket is In danger of overstocking:. , Jn
consideration of a closedown, brokers
have offered to take all the stocks on
hand at the basis of Jl.SO for stars and
$2.20 for clears, a very satisfactory
ligure, but one that will not prevail if
the mills continue to cut shingles.
Reports to the Shingle Mills Bureau
show there are 458 mills on the west
side, but the. forestry bureau reports
515 in the state. Of the west side
mills not to exceed 20 ship green
shingles, or those sent to a town kiln
to be dried for the local trade. Prac
tically all the mills are factors in the
rail business.
EVERY COVXTV PAID IX lXXLi
Oregon Is Out ot Debt, and Will Be
Until Early Next Ycur.
SALEM, Or., Dec. 1. (Special.) For
the first time in the history of tho
state every county has paid its state
taxes in full. In the last three or four
years the payments hare been prompt
and only two or three counties were
delinquent and only for comparatively
small sums. Today, however, when the
last half of the state tax from the sev
eral counties became delinquent, a
balance of accounts was struck and
not a dollar was found to be due the
state. Until a few days ago one coun
ty had not paid, but the County Treas
urer remitted before delinquency
started the accunimulution of interest.
Though the finances of the state are
in excellent condition and the state
has not a dollar ot debt, it is apparent
that the treasury will be depleted early
in 1907, and that for some time war
rants must be indorsed for want of
funds and the state must pay interest
thereon. No more state taxes will be
due until April.
Franchise for Oregon & Washington.
CENTRALIA. Wash., Dec. 1.
(Special.) The Oregon & Washington
Hallway Company has been granted a
franchise through Centralia by the
Centralla City Council. The franchise

troduced, a few minor changes being
made to save the city expense in the
matter of moving electric light poles
and wires from the streets which will
be used by the company.
The Oregon & ashington has al
ready started to clear the right-of-way
through Centralla by . moving off the
houses which are now located upon it.
It is understood that active work on
the road will be commenced shortly
after the first of the year, provided the
weather will permit. Centralia is the
first town between Tacoma and Port
land that has been asked for and has
granted the franchise.

SCENE IN THE COURTROOM
OLD WOMAN HYSTERICALLY DE-
CLARES SLOAXE INSANE.
Brother of Youthful Murderer on
the Stand Tells or Sidney's
Peculiar Actions.
SPOKANE. Wash.. Dec. 1. (Special.)
The most dramatic incident which has yet
marked the Sloane murder trial occurred
late this afternoon, when an aged woman
forced her way into the courtroom and
in tones that plainly were audible to all
exclaimed:
'I know Sidney Sloane is insane; I know
Sidney Sloane is insane. I want to tell
those meu who are trying him for his life
that he is insane."
The frenzied woman was quietly led
from the courtroom and the trial, which
had been interrupted for the time being,
continued. The woman gave her name as
Mrs. Katherine Oliver, mother of Warren
Oliver, electrical contractor.
It was with the utmost interest that
the testimony of Lloyd Sloane, the de
fendant's younger brother, was received.
He was placed on the stand by the de
fense, and his evidence was of a startling
nature, the most important matters eluci
dated toeing the statement that Sidney, on
several occasions, attempted to assault
Lloyd' with an ax, and that he repeated
ly beat him with his fists, for no known
reason, and would pretend to forget about
the affair almost immediately after its
occuience. Lloyd Sloane was on the wit
ness stand for more than an hour and a
half.
Testihionv for the defense was given
by Roy Ashenfelter, a former employe
of the Sloane-Palne Company, who stated
that during a wordy quarrel between Mr.
Kaminski, a partner in the Sloane-Paine
Company, and the defendant's father.
Sidney started in the direction of the
two men, saying he was going to lick
the d d Jew, and that when the boy
arrived on the spot the father affection
ately placed his arms about the defend
ant's neck, kissed his son and thanked
him for defending him, saying he was
getting afraid of Sidney himself and that
Sidney would soon be able to beat him
(the father).

REID STEPS ASIDE
Falconer Is' Pierce's Nominee
for Speaker of House.
PROBABLY BE ELECTED
Snohomish County Man Says He Will
Accept the Place Only on Con
dition That He Be Not
Bonnd With Pledges.
TACOMA, Wash., Dec. J. (Special.)
The Pierce County legislative delegation
met today and discussed the Speakership
question at considerable length. The del
egation was unanimous in support of Rep
resentative George T. Reid, but Mr. Reid
advised the delegation that he had defi
nitely decided not to be a candidate. This
declination was reluctantly accepted as
final, and then the question of other can
didates was gone over and it was the
unanimous decision of the delegation that
Representative J. A. Falcbner, of Snoho
mish County, should be supported by
Pierce County. Mr. Reid also advised
that this be done. The delegation will
therefore support Falconer actively and
ask no pledges or committee appoint
ments. Falconer happened to be in the city to
day and was invited to attend the meet
ing. He assured the delegation that he
would not accept the speakership if to
do so he had to tie himself up with prom
ises and pledges. The only pledge he
would make In the canvass was to select
for the various committees the men he
believed were best fitted and would best
serve the state.
The fight for the Speakership lay be
tween Reid and Falconer, and with Reid
out of the way Falconer will probably be
elected by acclamation. The delegation
will fight " earnestly for the direct pri
mary bill.
SEATS ASSIGNED TO SENATORS
New Arrangement Made in Chamber
at Olympia.
OLYMPIA, Wash., Dec. 1. (Special.)
Lieutenant-Governor Charles E. Coon
has completed the assigning of seats
in the Senate for the coming session of
the Legislature. The arrangement of
seats in the Senate is somewhat dif
ferent from that of the last session,
but only in the fact that no more than
three of the Senators' desks are to
gether, instead of five and six, and
this year aisles are left between the
groups of seats so that any Senator
may leave his seat without disturbing
anyone else.
The seats are arranged in the same
four parallel, semi-circular rows facing
the rostrum of the presiding officer.
There are 10 seats in the front , row,
five on each side of the center aisle;
12 seats in the .second row; ten seats
in the third row and six seats in the
back row. As at present assigned
Senators will occupy seats the coming
session as follows:
Front, row, from left to right (east
to west) -Watson, Presby, . Poison,
Gunn, Sumner, Smith, Blair, McGregor,
Hutson.
Second row, left to right Cotterill.
Boone, McGowan, Kennedy, Jones,
Eidemiller, Davis, , Williams, Pogue,
Piper, Ruth, Potts, Booth, Minkler.
Third row, left to right Graves,
Brown, Condon. - Rosenhaupt. Paulha-
mus, Metcalf, Pauly, Knickerbocker,
Nichols, Allen, Rands, Reid.
Fourth row (left to right) Ander
son, Bratt, Scott, Hunter, Kline, Steven
son. Veness. Smith, Hutson, Ruth, Potts,
Davis, Kennedy, Graves and Bratt are
the only Senators who retain the seats
they had last session. Tom Sumner
has the place left vacant by Palmer
and Arthur Gunn gets the seat Walter
Christian held down two years ago.
It will be noted that the county dele
gations are badly scattered in the as
signment of scats.
