MILL. OUTLOOK BRIGHTER
ORDtKS FOll LUMBER COMING
IX FROM THE EAST.
Cirajs Harbor Concerns Expect- to
Be Shipping by JSail This Week.
More Saws at Work.
ABERDEEN', Wash.. Feb. 18. (Special.)
The planing mill of the Western Lum
ber Company has been running for near
ly two weeks. Scott Wcatherwax, of the
company, says:
"We are having inquiries about lum
ber, the first since the panic, which Is
an assuring sign. When inquiries brRiii
, to come, aftor a quiet period, we make
up our minds that the prospects of busl
nefg are on the mend. If we could have
railroad rates adjusted, the lumber out
look for Gray's Harbor would be much
better, even though It Is dull In the cargo
line."
W. B. Mack, of the Slade Mill Com
pany, tallted optimistically today. He
says that Inquiries for lumber are com
ing In and that they have received orders
for carload lots from the East and will
te shipping aeainby rail this week. In
SO days, judging from present Indications,
he says he expects to see mills starting
ell over the harbor.
The Aubo logging camps were started
Monday. The camps are on -the St. John
River and cedar is cut altogether. The
starting of the shingle mills on the har
bor have created a demand for cedar
logs. About -30 men are employed.
FLEECES CHEHALIS CITIZEN'S
Smooth Stranger Works Confidence
Game to Tune of $300.
CHEHALIS, Wa3h.. Feb.' 18. (Special.)
A number of Chchalis business men are
out of pocket owing to the visit to this
city Friday and Saturday of a smooth
stranger who gave the name of J. R.
Hartman. He was accompanied by an
attractive looking woman. Hartma
made a small deposit with a local bank.
He gave It ouf that he intended to buy a
saloon here and while about town made
some small purchases for which he drew
checks against his bank account. Inves
tigation in almost every case developed
the fact that tho, checks were good, tout
they were written for sums ranging from
$3 to $10. After being about town for a
day or more Hartman did business on a
more extensive scale, presenting checks
for such sums of S25 to $40. These latter
checks were found to be worthless. It is
stated that the. smooth individual cleaned
up about $300.
Hartman Is about 30 years old. He has
light colored hair and Is of medium
height. An effort is being made to locate
him.
Tomorrow, Thursday, will positively be
the last day for discount on East Side

form of catalepsy. ' Two years a,go,
when she was unconscious 40 days, she
could hear the conversation of those
about her, but was unable to give them
any sign that she knew or understood.
Says Americans Blew I'p the Maine.
"HAVANA, Feb. 18, The Diario
Espanol, organ of. the ultra-Spanish ele
ment, In a leading editorial yesterday! re
ferring to the special celebration by local
Americans of .the tenth anniversary of
the blowing up of the battleship Maine,
sas:
"To commemorate the blackest blot on
American history, the world, including
honest Americans, . believing the ship
was blown up by direct orders from the
War Department for the purpose of jus
tification in the plan to despoil Spain-of
Cuba," says the paper, "adduces convinc
ing proof, that the officers of the Maine
attended the funeral of the victims in
full-dress uniform, which . showed that
they must, have sent their . uniforms'
ashore in anticipation of an explosion."
and alleges that the reason the wreck
has not been raised is that it would con
clusively demonstrate that the explosion,
was in the magazine.
