T A COM A. March 2:.-Xot in the his
tory of the lumbering lusine-s has there
leeii Mich a lnhiui iii the industry as it
now has in the northwest. The recent
aise of J straight on all fir grades, ex'
cpt railroad ties, made at the Tacoiua
meeting of the Pacific Coast Lumber
Manufacturers' asociation, at which the
tanding committees of the Oregon, the
Southwestern Vahington, the Inland
Empire Lumbermen's associations, as
well as British Columbia lumbermen
were represented, will probably be fol
lowed within a few weeks bv another
raise.
Tacoma mills will not now guarantee
a lumoer price longer than two weeks,
they anticipating an almost immediate
raise. The loggers of Pugst Sound will
hold a meeting about April 1 to con
sider raUes of 8.50, 9.00 and $11.50
(t thousand feet. These loggers are
ilready realizing immense returns. One
linn down the sound that is putting
m.tm feet of log daily into the wat

product The firm pays ?3 gross for
the log. kid in the water, and sell them
at 9 per thousand.
The February bu-incs of the mill of

are doing their utmost to relieve the
ear .hotii'c. yet 011 anount of the in-iiea-e

pacity of the mills the outcry for ship
ping facilities j a. 'reat as ever. Many
mills of the sound already have suffic
ient ord-rs to keep them running a year
and every mail bring, additional de
mands lor their product.
It seems u. though an out and out
lumber famine prevailed in the eat,"
aid a lumberman here today. "Lum
ber companies in the middle states are
wild for immediate shipment of their
orders. These orders are so pressing
und numerous that mill are paying
little attention to local order, and, in
fact, in most cases would rather not
fill them."

accuse the lumber aasociations of the
northwest of tru-t-like methods in
combining to enforce them. The inl.in.l

Always Keeps Chamberlain Cough
Remedy in His House.
"We would not be without Cham
berlain'g Cough Remedy. It is kept on
hand continually in our home," says W.
W. Kearney, editor of the Independent,
Lowry City, Mo. That i just what
every family should do. When kept at
hand ready for instant use, a cold may
be checked at the outset and cured in
much le-s time than after it has be
come settled in the system. This rem
edy is also without a peer for croup in
children, and will prevent the attack
when given as soon as the child be
comes hoarse, or even after the croupy
cough appears, which can only be done
when the remedy is kept at hand. For

Efforts Unavailing.
Although there is about ijilOVXMyKiO in
the reclamation fund, and the annual
increa-e is large, all effort o far for
further government work on new irri
gation projects is without avail. Seen
tary of the Interior Hitchcock, in this
as in a multitude of other things West
cm. absolutely declines to make any
conce-sion to tne urgent appeals ot a
multitude of districts. He expresses his
purpose of awaiting developments from
some of the work undertaken, says the
fund has Wn sufficiently reduced for
the present, and will not, consider new
project..
This and many other things in the
record of the secretary has given rise to
the Western spirit of opposition, and
the hope that some time early this ad
ministration there will be a change.
Western men ridicule the assumption of
parragon virtues and watchdog duty
over Western lawlessness each time the
secretary of the interior is criticised.
They think that this capital stock has
been well exhausted, and the nation
should see that the West is not more
lawless than any other section, if judged
by the same standards. Some of the
very things which have been seized up
on for the pifjud vindication of the sec
retary's imperious rule, grew and de
veloped under his regime, and any cred
it due for prosecution could be more
than attaches to reforming one's own
administration and correcting things ap
parently done with the connivance of
parts of the pious avenger.
