Sevltal of tha local : lumber dealer v and manufacturers ara feeling? an ' oouragad over tha probability of mora remunerative prloaa lor urooer product. V: Nearly all tha mill la Oregon and tha northwest ara running on regular day time, and daaplta tha ruling low prices, . assert that thara la no difficulty In dl ' .'. posing of tha produot While thara baa ' been no advance In prlcaa, . thara la an r" appreciable alight" Increase " In tha de s ' mand, and Inquiries from tha aaat ara ' becoming Ua rule. A recent published ' report from Aatorla states' that la tha 1 ' paat law days order have baan coming : la from eastern pointa at prloaa much higher than at any prarloua Uma for montha. Tha report alao states aa tha V raiult of tha battar condition, prlcaa . t have risen,, "and tha demand la now ao great that tha local mllia will noon ba oompallad to run ., overtime. MUlmon -y olrcumstancea point out tha truth '.''of tha atatamant that tha country la now v 'too big to ba extensively affected In any .'line, and that alump can at moat ba temporary. ''' '.. r For tha paat two or: thraa ' yeara there we a boom In tha prlca I loga ' and lumbar, and tha anguine onca . . prophealed that Oregon and Waahlngton ' - timber produota would never again reach . a low prlca, but thara waa a alump a raw montha ago. Whan nr loga reached ,': a smiling rata of fit . and $.I0 per I ', thousand, tha a mail farmer gathered up tha knotty - timber on landa that had " been logged off ' two or three time In ; tha paat. and tha loga that were oon enient to tide water, aold readily. Mew : , mill and expensive log i aqulpmenu were placed In tha desirable timber dia trlotc, and labor, loga and lumbar ad vanced to boom price. : , It la certain, however, that lulla In the greataat revenue-producing industry of Oregon and "Waahlngton will be of , only temporary duration. Tha cause : that produced the recent alump In tha lumber market ara varioue. Thara waa v a great ererproductlon la tha . Bound country, and tha market In California . became partially demoralised owing to - existing condition. The Japan-Russia ' war put an end to a considerable part of tha oriental trade, thus cutting down . tha export output to an appreciable ex : tent Last year the exports to Siberia, Port Arthur, Japan and other Aalatlo , porta were an Important Item In the lumber trade of Portland.' Tha North Paolno Lumber oompany of -Portland last year ahipped large eargeea to Port Arthur, Vladivostok, and Tien Tain but ao orders ara being received from that eeetlon thla season. Tha South American trade holda up to Its usual standard, and tha North Pa olno company sent a mixed cargo of over 1.100,00 feet to Pern last week It la expected that the northwest will do a large export trade with South. Africa, , aa soon aa labor .conditions ara nettled. It la out of tha queatlon to get work out of the South African native to -oom- plate tha projected improvements, and tha move haa begun to import 100,000 , Chinese . laborers. It la reported that ' the Brat shipment of. 10,000 haa already reached Ita destination, k ; Mr. Gerlrngcr. of the Oregon Fir Lum ber company, whoaa mllla are located near Barton In ciackamaa county, re ports that tha company la" mating ready aalea of Ita surplus product at Bala Lake and on. pointa along tha Oregon Short ' Line. Mr. Oerllnger alao stated that tha local demand In Portland alone now reaches about a million and a half feet dally. . While the lumber manufacturer are rot losing money on account of the ex treme low prioea. It requires close figuring to keep above water on account of tha Increased cost of stumpag. high labor and tha Investment In expensive equipment that la added to tha 'coat of loga secured back from the etreama On the whole, the outlook . for Im proved condition In the lumber and timber trade aa far from being die counting, and it la confidently believed that' the present apparent Increased de mand, la certain to atlften prioea.. Another eauae Tor the prevailing low prioea In timber produota la. laid to tha fact that tha big lumber Anna have not worked together to keep up rate, and that there haa been more or leaa cutting on cargo rail and water shipment.

Lemly. whoae term In that Important position expired todays ;v, wf -f - The eelectloa or Commander xneni aa somewhat of a surprise to naval circles, as his name had never been men tioned In connection with the place. He had more of a . reputation as an all round capable officer, with a specialty for compass work, than as a lawyer. He la the author of a standard work on the deviation of the compaaa needle. During the Veneauelan imbroglio the little Marietta waa the only American warship in Veneauelan waters, although Admiral Dewey, with an Immense fleet, waa not far away, at Culebra, Porto Rico. It looked for a time as If the aggressive tactics of the allies would render a ahow of force by the United 8tatea necessary. Commander Dlehl won the confidence of the foreign com manders, although they were hia aen tors, and the navy department waa con vinced that hia tact had much to do with keeping; tha United States safely out of the international complication. Commander Dlehl is of German de scent and throughout hia naval career, which began when he was appointed to the naval academy In I860 from Penn sylvania, he haa been credited with cool Judgment and great ability. Ha was assigned to duty in Washington. In 1887 aa superintendent of compasses and re mained until 1889.
