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.

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. He again performed
that duty in 18T ; and., 1898, Having
served in the meantime on the Detroit,

war, and after tha war he returned to

Captain Lemly was much criticised by
