LUMBER PRICES RISING.
Advance of Ten Per Cent to Take
Effect Soon.
MEDFORD, Or., Aug. 27. Within
a very few days the price of lumber
in this city will be boosted by the
different dealers about 10 per cent.
The advance includes all kinds of
lumber from common rought to the
most expensive finishing materials.
The advance locally is in accordance
with that put in effect over the en
tire coast, the reason for the advance
being assigned to the better demand
for Oregon fir in the eastern markets
and the improved outlook for the In
dustry. Common, rough lumber, which has
been selling for $15 a thousand feet,
with now be advanced to $10.50.
There will be a general advance all
along the line most of the rougher
grades being increased $1.50 a thou-
, sand, while on the higher grades
the advance will be even larger in
proportion. On the whole, the raise
I will average at least 10 per cent.
The lumber industry of this state,
which has been In the doldrums for
the past four months, shows great
improvement. Four months ago
there was no demand in the east for
Oregon fir, but today all mills are
'oaded with orders, and, with the
constant increase in the demand from
the east, manufacturers are turning
their attention from the local field
to the eastern markets and are not
nursing the retail trade here to the
extent they have been, while the east
ern markets have been dormant.
Lumber manufacturers of the city
are jubilant over the better tone of
the market and the activity of the
Oregon lumber trade in the east.

TOBACCO HABIT GROWING.
55, 102,000,000 Cigarettes Smoked in
America in One War.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27. There
were 55,402,330,113 cigarettes
smoked In the United States during
the last fiscal year, according to gov
ernment statistics just issued 25,
000,000 is perhaps a fair estimate of
the number of men and boys in this
country 'Who smoke tobacco. So, on
the average, each smoker consumed
22 1G cigarettes last year, or Cy4 a
day, the fraction representing the
very small butt a cigarette smoker
throws away.
Butofthe25, 000,000 smokers, many
million smoke cigars or pipes, and
some smokers roll their own cigar
ettes, so the average each cigarette
smoker consumes each day must be
much more than G1.
Tho government statisticians are
very proud of their accuracy in car
rying out a figure so high as fifty
five billion four hundred millions to
the very last number 13. Perhaps
there is a, warning to cigarette smok
ers In these last two figures. Any
how, the cigarette habit Is growing
tremendously In this country.

COAL SOON GONE.
1
Wonder Whnt Country Will Do For
Fuel. NEW YORK, Aug. 27. Dr. Char
les Stelnmetz, consulting engineer ot
the General Electric Company at
Schnectady and professor of elec
trical engineering at Union College,
painted a doleful picture recently
of what life" will be In the world
when the coal supply has been ex
hausted, and when tho natural fer
tility of tho soil has been used up
and when tho population has largely
Increased. And he thought that ul
timately the people of the earth
would have to depend on it to refer
tllizo tho earth for food and clothing
to keep people alive.
Dra. Stelnmetz spoke in the hall
of tho American Institute of Elec
trical Engineers to tiTe'sfudents and.
frlonds of tho New York Electrical
Trade School.
"You who sit in this room," ho
said, "will see the time when there
will be no more hard coal. You may
see the time, too, when supplies ot
soft coal are so far removed that they
won't bo worth while bringing to the
people; it can't last very long. And
there Is a possibility that some day
people will wako up to the fact that
soft coal poisons the atmosphere.
Then they may prohibit it. But it
can't be a very great while before wo
must seek for means other than coal
for keeping us warm. Wood has
long slnco been discarded, and coat
must be. What next?
"It seems to mo that our best
hope Is electricity. But we must
havo power for that. With coal out
of tho question, where Is the power
to como from? Tho solution of tha
problem seems to be our natural
water power, of which wo use so very
llttlo now."
