A cut In the price of dressed or rough lumber will mean but one thing- a consequent reduction In the price of ..raw material. r..vy.-.v"--.r. ..;. This, say the, loggers, Is impossible with, the existing scale. of wages being paid at all of the logging camps on the coast, and If they are forced to sell their logs cheaper they will likewise be forced to make a similar cut In -the wages of ' their employes. The high prices wjiich existed m the , logging market during the past year or o have caused a large number of ad ditional firms to go into that business. - Curtailment Causes Trouble. A curtailment in the use of lumber, .brought about by the 'numerous labor disputes all over 1 the country, caused the market to become overstocked and then the newcomers, : looking for bust neas. cut the prices, a trine, below those quoted by the older loggers who were members of the Pacino Coast Export association, ' which controlled the out- Washington and British Columbia; The newcomers were doing nearly - all the i business In sight at the lower figures, and being unable to get them Into the combine, the members of the export as sociation became uneasy and when the year's agreement between them expired on January 1, It was not renewed and the organization came to an untimely end. :,' ':';:''.". .;',t .' No Large Cnt Had. .-: As yet there has been no large cut 1m the prices on finished lumber In this city, but none of the1 local manufact urers deny that such an event will likely occur soon. Another reason for this disruption of the export association, which probably balanced the labor troubles, ia the large holdings of timber lands which have been gradually collected by the Weyer hausers. Wsysrhanssrs Make Purchase. This concern has within the past five years purchased a large majority of the timber lands of the Northwest, the company purchasing at one time 1,000, 000 acres, from the Northern .

In this concern are Is not definitely known, . - & i. , , out rumor nays mai mcjr in nuirwui men and simply purchased the lands from themselves. One thing is certain. the timber operators In this city say the lands were' purchased far below their actual value. v '., . Large Inroads have been made Into the timber belts along the Columbia river and It Is harder to get the logs out now than It was a few years ago. ; Tne logs have to be taken a longer distance and this costs a larger amount of extra money to be paid for the operation of the various camps,' ; 77 777.:i ,77. 7;;,: Benson Talks on Situation. 8. ,. Benson, an extensive . lower ' Co lumbia logger, says: . ' . ' "The logging outlook Isn't bad7The price of labor Is high, but the volume of business tiralght 1s considerable. Take matters all around and I don't think that conditions are awfully bad. This being the. middle of winter It Is hard to tea Just what the. future of the logging business will be, but two months from now we will know Just about where we stand. "Business is rather quiet at the pres ent time, a few of the camps are run ning, but they will not be in full opera tion for some time. The mills are all running, however, and are busy with plenty of orders on hand. , . ' Out on Toot X,ors. ',' The cut on first class ogs has hot been very sreat since last fall, but the poorer grades have. I don't think that the price of logs will go down very far from the present basis, for If It did we wonld simply have to go out of busi ness.''.. - ' .- "The available timber is not so plen tiful as It was a few years back and we have to go farther back for our logs. . This , costs more money to put them in the water. - -Xiaoor nas oeen very nign aurwg irm (past two or three ears much out of proportion to what It la In other sec- Ituuot Wages to Oo Sow. ' "I think that wages will go down to . a reasonable basts again,' but all these things, readily adjust themselves In the logging Business, inn average wage ui a logging camp employe at the present time Is 13.75 a day and the men board themselves. If they care they can board with the company for SO cents a day. The lodgings cost them nothing as they supply their own blankets and sleep In bunk houses provided by the loggers." Other loggers who were seen in re gard to the wage proposition estimated the reduction at from 25 to B0 cents a day on each. man. Charles Fisher of the Canadian Employment company, lower river loggers, says; "A number of larg camps have been recently started up along the river. There are only about 60,000,000 feet of ! logs available at the present time and the mills along the river use about 1,800,000 feet of this amount every day. At this rats It will not take a long time to clean up the few logs how In the Streams. Camps to Start XTp. The large camps, with the possible , exception of the camps on the Coweenan river - back of Kalama, will start up within the next two weeks. The camps at this point will not begin operations owing to the washout of the big dam recently .constructed. Some of .the camps on the lower part of this stream will be able to run, but the upper ones .." will be closed until a new dam Is butlt ': "Th Wevarhauaer- ceonle are cettlns ready, to open up their camp Inside of a few weeks with a full crew. They will put their logs '; into Lake river In stead of Into the Columbia at Vancou- ' ver. They haver arranged for a large boom and Storage room on Lake river ' and will hereafter conduct their opera- . tlons t,here. ; "All the loggers are figuring on -a . drop In prices and this will result In a consequent reduction in wages of per haps from 25 to 40 cents a day." : f.

The most damaging evidence yet given tending to fix the re sponsibility for the explosion January 1 In "Legal" raise, Michael Davitt mine, by which Samuel Olsqn and, Fred Divel lost their lives, was given at the fifth eeaston of the inquest, now being held. Frank Mcprath and other"" witnesses gave testimony which would show ttt Powder had been , used in Heinie's Rams mlns for purposes other than legitimate mining, and that orders had been given officials of that company to blast down the workings, either to pre vent ; Inspectors from working under court orders and coming Into the Kama, or . to allow the Rarus men to get Into the Amalgamated mines.' i James . MeGrath testified late yester day that when he was in the employ of the Karus company In September, Al Frank ordered some stopes on the. 700 foot level to be blown up to keep out a party "of Inspectors working in from the Mountain View mine. In Jrfne 6t last year Thomas Knight, under the in struction of Al Frank, placed 60' pounds of dynamite in a sack and attached , a fuse with the intention of blowing up one 'of the Pennsylvania stopes. Mo Grath notified Foreman Treloar that If this was set oft, men would be killed, and Treloar ordered the men to take the powder out. ,v ; . -7. . "" '. Two witnesses from the1 Rams mine testified that the men who had been working In the Michael Davitt mine about the scene of the recent explosion, had been sent to other parts of the Rams mine after the blast had been set oft. One of these came without a candle-stick, saying that he had lost his down the raise where he : had , been working. It was impossible to tlx that raise, as ono In which the tUst had occurred. One witness told of a heavy charge of dynamite having been lowered from the Rarus workings Into the Penn sylvania that would have killed six men if It had not gone off In the air. As it was 'they, had a narrow escape from death. -',-.. . ',,;-7.. :. AT THE THEATRES PATTX.

' New York, Jan. 8.,-Cemplete statistics show the year Just closed to have been an eventful one In the history of American railroads. . During 1801 and 1902 railroad mergers had been carried-through on an Unprecedented scale. At the opening of 1SP3 it was believed that this movement toward railroad consolidation would be carried on on a still larger scale and it was freely predicted that all of the prln pal railroad properties in the . United States would be merged into not over four or five groups but the crash in the industrials, the enormous shrinkage In stock values, the stringency . which de veloped in the money market and more especially the adverse decision rendered by the United States circuit court of ap peals against the Northern Securities Company -combined to prevent any such Wholesale consolidations. The result, was that 1003. In the mat ter of railroad consolidations,! proved a far less Important year titan either 1902 or -lMl, The -mst important railroad mergers of the year were connected with the Rock Island system. Early In the year the Rock Island opened negotiations for the purchase of the St. Louis and San Francisco and its affiliated lines. The purchase of this system was almost immediately followed by buying a half Interest ih the Texas lines of the South ern Pacific.' ' Through these acquisitions true mileage of the Rock Island was in creased to more than 18,000 miles-r. making it One of the largest and most powerful railroad systems in the world. Among the other important railroad changes the purchase of the Seaboard Air Line by Interests identified with the Rock Island and the Southern, railway, and the purchase of the Hocking Valley and the Reading by Pennsylvania and New York Central Interests were of most note. ., ',.-!, , . . New Railroads. About 6,700 miles of new railroad were constructed in the United States In 1903, Or about 176 miles more than was built In 1903. Most of the new mileage rep resented extensions and new branches. If the extension of -the Wabash Into Pittsburg is -excepted there was no par allel railroad building during the year. The most Important single piece of work accomplished was ths Southern - Paciflo 40-mlle cut-off across Great Salt lake. This cut-off will reduce ths running time between Ogden and the Paciflo 1 Coast more- than two hours. ' Mention should also be made of the commencement of work on the Pennsylvania tunnel under New York. - tt- --r---rr Never In the career of railroads were rates better maiutalned than In 1908. Ths railroads in every section of the country had all the traffic they could possibly handle, and there was no Incen tive to the cutting of rates. At one tlmn It looked as if the entrance of the Wa bash Into Pittsburg would lead to some rate cutting among the Eastern roads. There was no open rate cutting, however, and It Is now generally believed that the Pennsylvania and 'Wabash have settled most of theli differences. . . Broks Ajl Records. , In the matter of .gross receipts ths railroads broke Tall previous records is 1903, having made an increase of some thing "like 150,000,000 over the figures of 1902. In ths matter of net earnings, however, the roads did not make quite as favorable a showing. The Increase in wages and ths Increase in the cost of practically all materials that enter Into operation and maintenance Increased op erating expenses heaylly and reduced net earnings. ' . In a financial way ths Pennsylvania far outstripped all other roads. Early In ths year it sold 178,000,000 of new stock for $90,000,000. . This was followed by ths sals of over $100,000,000 of stocks and bonds on the subsidiary properties. This heavy borrowing by Pennsylvania absorbed most of the floating supply of capital and the other railroads later In ths year found great difficulty in borrow ing money. , The congestion of securities was so great- that the other railroads were unable to sell their bonds except at a heavy discount.. Most of the com panles were unwilling to do this, and in stead borrowed on their notes running from one to two years, In this way the Burlington tlu? Union Pacific, the Great Northern, the St.. Louis and San Fran cisco and the Lake shore borrowed from $5,000,000 to $10,000,000 apiece. Owing to the unfavorable monetary conditions all of the railroads that could postponed their borrowing until ths money market shall have become easier.
