"WIghtman and G. K. Frazler, whose marriage was announced In the Bul letin yesterday, were united In mar riage on Main street in front of the Hook Nook, at 5:30 o'elock last evening, Itev. F. A. Ware officiating, says the Walla Walla Bulletin. The successful completion of the marriage ceremony was only accom plished after two unsucessful at tempts had been made and the un willing bride and groom had been almost dragged to the altar by their Irlends and fellow members of the pioneers' Association. No doubt both are now glad that the ordeal Is over and no doubt the knot was tied just as closely as If the ceremony had taken placo In the bride's home, as was at flr3t planned, beforo the friends of the couple took a hand In the affair. The unique ending of the affair came about in this wise: It was at first planned that the wedding should take place at the homo of the bride, 305 Newell street, at 0:30 in the evening, after they had returned from the pioneer pic nic at Ballon. When Dr. N. G. Bla lock discovered that a matrimonial event was in the air, he called the couple aside and succeded in per suading them to have the ceremony performed at Ballon In the presence of their friends. They succeeded In securing the minister and the mar riage license, and were just about to tie the knot when it was discovered that Ballon Is just across the line in Oregon. This, of course, would make the license, secured in Walla Walla, useless, and tho marriage would liave been Illegal. It was then suggested that tho party return In a body to Meador Park and have the ceremony per formed there. This the, by this time somewhat anxious, couple agreed to, hut the plans wero again cnanged a few minutes later, when it was de cided that tho time was limited and that It would be better to return Im mediately to the city and have the wedding take place there. Main street, in front of tho Book Nook was declared to bo an Ideal placo for a marriage ceremony, but the couple could not see It that way, declaring mat tney intended to return to their original plan and have tho wedding Total annual value r. . . . $1,075,000,000 The total quantity of wood cut to obtain these products was not less than 20,000,000,000 cubic feet. Lumber consumption in the United States has Increased more rapidly than population. From 18S0 to 1900 the population Increase was 52 per cent and the lumber Increase was 94 per cent. The United States is now using annually 400 board feet of lumber per capita, while the average for Europe Is but CO feet per capita. Since 18S0 2G years Uncle Sam's lumber cut has aggregated 70G, 712,000,000 board feet, nn nstonishlng quantity and sufficient to make a floor 1 Inch thick entirely over the states of Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Delaware, an area of 25,000 square miles.

The southern states are, undoubtedly, near their maximum today, with about 35 per cent of the total product, and the time of ascendency of the Pacific states is rap Idly appioachlng. Since the census of 1900 the lumber product of the Pacific states has risen from less than 10 per cent of the lumber output of the country to 20 per cent. There will be no more shifting after Pa cific states take first place since there Is no new region (except the Philippines) of virgin timber to turn to." Pacific States Supply.

Tho trouble happened In the seventh inning, with North Bend at bat. There was a man on first and the bat ter hit a grounder which was thrown to Tower for a double play. The Marshfield contingent thought tho man Tower was after was out, but the umpire called him safe and then Marshfield quit the game, and would not play unless the decision was re versed.
