Tbe battle-ship Maine, which waa
ordered to Havana, Cuba, some time
since, waa wrecked by an explosion of
powder in one of her forward metre-

place at V;0 Tuesday nieht. Over
2fi0 of tbe craw were killed and many
wounded. Tha Spaniards ara aaid to
be assisting in earing for the dead and
wounded. An immediate investigation
baa been ordered by the navy depart
ment. It is believed the vessel can be
saved, or, if ancb ia not possible, con
siderable valuable ordnance, at least,
can be aaved. No accusations of
treachery are yet made, but the in
vestigation may develop information
of that character.
Mr. Arthur George ie the victim of

front door of the building waa broken
open, and the net hauled out and ear
ned away. Mr. George had recently
purchased a supply of new twine, and
intended enlarging the net for a suc
cessful season's work. The loss, just
at thia time, works considerable bard
ship upon Mr. George, because ha had
made every calculation upon thia sea
son's work with his net.

about 75 per cent of the amount re

that the flume is proving e-succeas to

It is tiroDhesied bv many that
there will be a very light freshet in

THE LUMBEH SITUATION.
Better Prospects Than Have Main
tained tot Years.
Aeeordlng to the statements of rrrW"
tatlve lumbermen, tbe lumber situatioa at
the present time presents a niore favorable
aspect than it bas tor years. Not only have
prices advanced, bat tbe demand Is increas
ing, and mills that are now running only
during ths day expect to be running on full
time, which means a day shift and night
shift, by the first of next month.
Tba new schedule of prices went Into
efftct on ths 20th of laat month, and mills
are kept busy tilling orders at tbe increased
rates. All the common grades ot lumber
have been advanced on an average of 60
eents a thousand, while the higher grades
have gone op ft a thouaaad. Daring the
past four years tha demand for lumber bas
enly been 40 per cent of ths capacity of tbe
Pacific coast mills. This year tbe demand
will ge as high as, 78 per cent, of the milling
capacity, If not higher. Tba demand for
lumber tbis month as compared with the
same month last year bas increased (ally
SO per cent, and aa the building season baa
not yet even opened op, this Is a material
improvement. There is considerable lum
ber sold by Portland mills ia Eastern Ore
gon and Washington, Idaho, Colorado, and
parts of Montana, and as Uie building sea
son In these sections does not start In until
the snow leavea the ground, tba 00 per cent
Increase in demand is confined almost ex
clusively to tba export trade. There is a
good demand for Oregon lumber from Cal
ifornia and also from Alaska, and much
more would be shipped wars the transpor
tation facilities better. There is a shortage
of vessels, and tbis is proving a serions ob
stacle to the lumbar trade. Tbe Alaska
trade is proving a great benefit in disponing
of large quantities of low-grade lumber tbat
has accumulated during the past year.
Tba advance in prices of lumber is said
to bs due not alone to tbe Increased de
mand, bat also largely by reason of the fact
that the cost of all supplies that furnish a
plant, such as machinery, belting, etc.,
have gone op. Everything in this line ia
higher tban it was a year ago. On tba
whole tha outlook for the lumber trade is
said to be better than it has been for year.
Tbe shingle trade is also looking op well.
On the first ot this month all tbe Washing
ton mills that were closed by agreement
last fall, being about 85 per cent of all mills
in the state, wera started up. As there are
aba at 100 mills in the state, giving employ
ment to about 20 men each, about 3000 men
were given work with the resumption of
operation. The average pay of shingle-mill
banda being $2 a day, this means a daily
pay-roll of $16,000, or about $416,000 a
month. Astoria Budget.
Every Industrial report shows continued
Improvement In all lines of trade. No bet
ter argument ia needed than atatements
like the following from a aon-partisan com
mercial journal : "Tbe Industrial situation
is satisfactory. Extensive strikes have
taken place in the New England cotton in
dustry against a reduction of wages; bat
tbe consequent curtailment of production
is benefitting raannfaclarers, and there Is
little anxiety over the future. Ctber indus
tries are well employed. Tbe outlook for
tba Iron trade continues hopeful. Wheat
strain passed tbe dollar mark, touching
tl 04, and exports present and prospective
are exceeding heavy. Laat wek 4,000,000
bushels were shipped from American ports,
compared wHh leas tban 1,000.000 bushels
same week last year. The vivible supply of
wheat In this country is S7.800.O00 bushels
sgainat 62.400,000 bushels a year ago. The

At tbe primaries is tbe most practi
cal place to let your choice be known
for men to fill tbe vaiioua county,
distriot and state offices, and in con
sideration of this fact it la of the great
est moment that every voter attend
the primary election. There you have
an opportunity to say whom you shall
or shall not be represented by in tbe
oounty convention. Many times voters
remain away from the primaries and
the outcome of the election doea not
suit them. . When all voters attend
tbe primaries results are alwaya much
more satisfactory.
It ia with a keen appreciation of
what it meaua to the Columbia river
section that wa note tbe rise in the
price of lumber and tba increased ac
tivity ia the logging; and lumber in
dustry. People of the entire cxwst sec
tion are keen to see the revival, know
ing, aa they do, tbat our chief stock
in trade liea in this one industry. The
advent of renewed activity along theee
lines will be received with delight by
every honest oi linen, and heralded
broadcast, since everybody will feel
the good effects. Let us all do our
selves honor by assisting in thia, our
chief enterprise, and a return of the
once lively times In tbis line of trade
will be experienced.
The decision rendered Monday by
the Oregon supreme court as to the
right of women to vote at school elec
tions, applies to districts with a popu
lation of 1000 and upwards. The de
cision is based on that section of the

districts in this State with a population
of 1000 and upwards, any citizen of
this state shall be entitled to vote at a
school meeting who ia 21 yeara of age,
and has resided in the district 30 daya
immediately preceding the meeting,
and baa property in the distriot upon
which be or aha paya a tax."
