Rough Lumber Will Sell for Dollar
More Per Thousand Feet
After October 1.
SEATTLE, Sept. 2. The price of loga
on Puget Sound will be increased Oc
tober 1 $1 per thousand on No. 1 and
No. 2 stock and 60 cents per thousand
on Inferior grades. No official an
nouncement of the raise has been made,
but lumber mills here aryi at other
points on Puget Sound have been
privately advised of the proposed in
crease. Lumber mills here have decided to
advance the cost of rough lumber $1
per thousand October 1. This grade
of lumber, the cheapest made. Is now
quoted at $11 per thousand In the
yards. October 1 ' the price will be
$12 per thousand feet.
The best grade of logs Is now quoted
at $11 per thousand feet. The scale
Is $5.50, $6 and $11 per thousand. The
loggers have privately informed the
mills that the scale of prices October 1
will be $6, $9 and $12 per thousand
feet. '
"As yet no steps have been taken
toward advancing the market price of
logs." said Alex Brix. president of the
Columbia River loggers' Association,
last night. "At the present time the
price received by members of our as
sociation for their logs 1b substantially
the same as that charged on Puget
Sound. If the Washington loggers en
force their demands for a higher price
It Is entirely probable that the loggers
on the Columbia River will follow suit
and Increase the price also."
UCMBER PRICES TOO CHEAP
Grays Harbor Millmen Told to Shut
Ont Middle Man.
ABERDEEN, Wash., Sept. 2. (Special.)
That the lumber product of the Pa
cific Coast is sold- cheaper than in any
other section of the country and that
the lumber and shingle manufacturers of
the coast and particularly those of Grays
Harbor should get together and organize
the agency system and obliterate the
middle man or broker was the sugges
tion made this afternoon by Victor C.
Beckman, secretary of the Pacific Coast
Lumber Manufacturers Association, be
fore a meeting of the lumbermen and
shingle men in the Council chamber at
the City Hall.
The object of the meeting was to dis
cuss present and prospective lumber and
shingle conditions with a view of getting
better prices and a more Intelligent co
operation in the different lines of the
trade. Present prices and taxes on stand
ing timber, Mr. Beckman said, are not
conducive to conservation or reforesta
tion, and he suggested, 'that taxation
somewhat along the lines of that adopted
in Canada might help to solve the
problem.
Mr. Beckman's talk was largely with
reference to the fight made during, the
preliminary drafting of the tariff bill be
fore the Congressional House committee
on ways and means by the lumbermen
from the Pacific Coast. It was one of
the hardest fights he said ever made an
any one question In the National body,
and had it not been for the fight it was
Mr. Beckman's opinion that the Pacific
Coast coujd not have won even the duty
of $1.50 a thousand. ,
three previous efforts have been un
successful, but the court this afternoon
ordered the proposed road surveyed.
John Scott, owner of a grist. mill at
Scotts Mills, has been the principal
opponent, on the ground that the pro
posed route cuts diagonally across the
platted land of Friends' Oregon Colony,
which was laid out in 1S92 by the Ore
gon Land Company, and that the road
would be an extremely costly one.

Clashes With Montesano Over Lay
ing of Iron Pipes."
MONTESANO. Wash.. Sept. 2. (Spe
cial.) The fight between this city and
the Montesano Light & Water Company
Is growing apace. Two weeks ago the
company prepared to lay Its new pipes on
Main- street and dug one block of ditch,
when the work was discontinued. Sun
day night Mayor Stlnemire had the ditch
filled In, saying that it was a constant
menace to" the traveling public.
At the Council meeting last night a
resolution was unanimously adopted by
which the company Is notified that no
wooden pipes of any description will be
permitted and that if the company does
not within ten days proceed to lay its
water pipes, which must be of cast Iron,
class A, the company will not be per
mitted to lay any pipes and that in view
of the paving of Main street the city will
hold the company responsible for any
and all damages on account of delay.
The contention heretofore between the
company and the city has been that the
company proposed to lay wooden pipes
while the city insisted on cast Iron.
