COSUEPTQOI -Drug Company LARdE ORDER FOR IS One of the largest lumber dejls ever transacted in Portland was concluded yesterday, when Robert Smith, president of the Stanley-Smith Lumber Company, sold 16.000.000 feet of lumber to the O. R. St. N. and Rio Grande Railway Com panies. .t . As the lumber is to be sawed into rail road ties, the value of the product is about $155,000. This lumber will- be cut at the Hood River mill of the Stanley-Smith company. lipped East and distributed along rail roads for use in construction wjrk to be done this year. VAST FORESTS UNTOUCHED The Stanley-Smith Lumber Company is one of the large firms in the Northwest.' cutting 500.000 feet of lumber a d ly and employing more than 200 men. In speak ing of the lumber outlook Mr. Smith sa d: 'No one can tell what the future of the lumber company will be, because of tha vast forests that have been untouched by the sawyers. Indications are that iiwillbe A of a f aw vfturft Ago, ' Prices are firm and new men arc engaging in the business every day. - Mil lions of feet are cut daily, and still the demand increases. Wnere it all goes is the question every mill man has asked time and again. He fi.ids no answer that fits t ie case, and can only gaze in wondei a) the crs and ships carry the produc. away." Telegram. AT Tiif TAIL EHD It was on the street car. - An old man with a Wging satchel at his feet was wiping the tears from his eyes, and after a bit a good hearted fellow-passenger leaned over and said; "Stranger, you seem to be in trouble.'' "Waal, I'm leelin bad," was the reply as the handkerchief went up. "Have you been robbed or lost your money?" "Noap." "Perhaps you are suffering pain?" "Noap; it's none o' tnat. I've bin to Mount Vernon, and saw toe tomb of the father of his country. I didn't pay 'much attenshun then, not fur a day or two, but all to once today it struck me what a good man he was and that he was dead, and and excuse me. I know .it's babyish, out 1 can t help it." "But isn't tnis weeping over Washing ton rather late in the day?' inquired a sjoond passenger. "How, late?". "Why he has boon dead about a hun dred years." ........ ....... "Jerusna," but you don't say! Why, tha( hackdriver put it down since carn planlin' and even wondered that 1 did not have a weed on my hat.

QUITE A fUflD A committes from the Oregon Fish and Gam Association will investigate the claim of Secretary of State Dunbar that all unused funds in the fund created by the gun license, now amounting to over $10,000, should b'e turned into the gener al fund of the state. At the annual meet ing held last night, it was announced that Secretary Dunbar had taken this view of the matter. When the law was passed requiring a hunter's l;onse of $1 a year, it was con ditional that the money should be spent in t ie hire of deputies for the enforcement of tie laws. Because the county clerks are not required to turn in the funds re ceiven more often than quarterly, much of this money was unavailable for 1905! It would seriously cripple the work of the association if this money cannot be drawn upon for the hire of deputies, as the greater pirt of the 1906 licenses will not be paid until the open season for upland birds, whereas the protection is required jusi oerore tne season opens. . IDEftTIfftD llERSElf All RIGHT 'But I don't know you, madam," the bflnk cashier said to the woman who had presented a check. But this woman, instead of saymg haughtily, "I do not wish your acquaint ance, sirl" merely replied, with an en gaging smile: Oh. yes, you do, I think. " I'm the'red- leaded old virago' next door to you, weose scoundrelly little boys' are always reacn i ig through the fence and pick ng jour low.n. Whan you started down town this morning your wife said, 'Now Henry if you want a dinner fit to. eat this even ing, you'll have to leave me a little money. I can't run this house on the city water ind 1 0 cents a day" "Here's your money, madam," said the cashier, pushing it toward her and cough ing loudly. Chicago Tribune. A NEW -HUCK" The Springfield Republican calls Senat r Tillman the Huckleberry Finn of the Senate. Itistha best characterizatbn of t ie man we have seen. His untutored frankness, his picturesque verbiage and his utter disregard for conventions explain the indulgent and amused attitude which the Senate at large maintains toward him. But a government directed by Ben Tillmans would be no more of a success chan a society composed of Huckleberry Finns. Oakland (Cal.), Tribune.
