(Special Dl.pitrb to Th. Journal.)
Seattle, Wash., July 20 - Lumbermen
must choose between car shortage, and
an Increase In rates. To take care of
the heavy eastbound lumber business a
big westbound empty-car haulage Is In
volved, and resident Louis W. Hill,
of the Great Northern, who arrived In
Seattle today, says the railroad com
pany cannot haul empties west at ex
isting rates.
"It was In anticipation of better
earnings that we ordered 4.000 emritjr
ears sent west." said President Hill.
"We have been compelled to haul these
ears from the rakoias and Montana.
If we provide all the cars the lumber
traffic demands, wa must continue to
haul the empties to the coast, for the
westbound tonnage Is not sufficient
to supply enough cara for the lumber
and shingle business. At present rates
we cannot afford to haul empties, but at
an increased tariff wa can supply ail
the cars needed.
Men Par la laatsrn Traffic.
There Is traffic enough for all our
ears on the east end of the road anu
we could use them to advantage there.
That traffic is as profitable If not more
ao than the lumber business. We should
not be expected to haul empties that
could be used elsewhere, to the coast,
and provide them for lumber shipments.
Without profit.
"The lumbermen can litigate, and may
do so, when the advanced rates are an
nounced, but the situation Is simply
this: We must either advance lumber
and shingle rates or the car shortage
must continue.
"Lumber prices have slumped. As wa
came over the road yesterday and to
day I founda number of mills that have
been cloaed. Some mlllmen told me the
car shortage was responsible for closing
the plants, but at the time this state
ment was mads we had sidings filled
with empties and wa have all the cars st
Great Northern points that the mills
can use."
yrioea 'Would Kara Smashed.
I think It la true that If the mills
bad bad all the cars they wanted last
rear the market would have collapsed,
f the mills were given all the cars they
ask for and all the lumber they claim
they could ship, I think It true the

cars If we can furnish them profitably.
We can not haul lumber and shingles at
the old rates, 40 and 60 cents, except ss
we provide cars thst come west loaded.
Wa cannot haul emptlea here to take
care of that business except at an In
creased rate that will be made effective

Ban Francisco, July 20. Wheat
Business was at a standstill In the local
market yesterday, and price were nom
inally unchanged. Buyers hesitate to
pay current asking prices, and are wait
ing future developments, when the new
crop begins to press on the market. The
day's receipts were 1,383 centals. Chi
cago declined ISo per bushel for Sep
tember and December deliveries. The
eastern markets were heavy on fine
weather, though the foreign were firm
Cargoes on passage were steady, and
there was the same tone for the English
and French country markets. Options
declined In Liverpool and Paris.
Barley, oats, hay, etc The market
was dull all round, and there were no
quotable changes In spot prices. The
receipts Included 3,230 centals of bar
ley, 540 centals of oats and 760 tons
of hay. December barley closed H4c
per cental lower.
Flour and mlllstuff There was no
chunge to note. The flour export trade
has been of moderate volume. Feed
stuffs have been arriving from tha
north. The receipts of flour were 970
barrels, and all from Interior mills.
Butter, cheese and Eggs There was
nuite an Increase in the receipts of but
ter and eggs, and only a small quantity
or cneese arrived. Butter and cneeso
remained aa previously quoted, and both
closed firm. California eggs declined
!4c per dozen for extras and lc for sec
onds. The market closed steady for
eggs. On 'change 254c per pound was
bid for California extra butter, and
26 He waa asked. For fancy new cheese
14 He per pound was bid. There were
sales of 30 cases extra eggs at 24c per
dozen. The receipts for 24 hours were
48.200 pounds of butter. 2.000 pounds of
cheese snd 48.960 dozen eggs.
r rults, nuts, honey and raisins
There was more life to the fruit market
yesterday, retailers having to replenish
stocks for the day and Sunday. The
bulk of the business was done in the
early hours. Owing to the lateness of
the river boat there was a shortage of
some varieties. Choice peaches were
scarce and there was a particularly
good inquiry. IJerrles in good condition
went at advance prices. Choice red
loganberries have become almost too
scarce to quote. A good quantity of
Fontalnbleu grapes arrived from Vaca
ville. but there was a wide difference
In quality, some being too green. A
small lot of seedless grapes from the
south brought $1.75 per crate. Four
boxes of huckleberries were received
from Occidental, with sales at 17 He
per pound.
Ripe Bartlett pears in small boxes
were offering at 7ff3:R5c and seedlings
In baskets at 7."c. Bartletts for canning
ruled very firm. Apples show but little
variation In price. There have been no
very good bellflower apples as yet. A
carload of Valencia oranges arrived
from the OJat valley. The last carload
of navels was going off well. Two
carloads of Cenral American bananas
were received. Figs' were scarcer and
higher.
Vegetables There was no further
change in potatoes Or onions. While
potatoes had quite a decline during the
week, prices are still high as compared
with other seasons. Vegetables from
the river districts arrived too late for
the day's trade and much Inconvenience
resulted. As a rule prices were about
the same as on Friday. Aspnragus Is
practically done for the season. Rhu
barb might as well be dropped from
the list.

.John Morgan and other fishermen

an old flintlock gun. The brand shows

A silver plate on the gun is as bright

been placed and the hammer drawn
back in readiness for firing.
The gun was found near the mouth
of Toussalnt creek, a few miles west
of the state rifle range, nnd is in a re
