- Lodging circles are all astir over the
rumored cut In the prices on lumber
which have floated around from time to
time. 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 . Paciflo
. rauroaa -an iu umDer lanaa wwi ox mo

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. -

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."

Helena, Jan. 8. 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.. :.

curious fact that Mme. Adelina PatU

Zerlina, in Mosart's "Don Giovanni," is
the only classic role which she has ever
essayed. Masters of , Ringing : will no
doubt try , to point out that her care

' (Journal -Special Eerrica.) '
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. '
