too strong a light. The furniture which

Contrast Is JTteded.
In the general rules here laid down,
It will be seen that aside from the ques
tion of color, the theory of contrast
rather than analogy Is often more ap
propriate; but whether contrast or an
alogy Is used there should always be a
striving for harmony In the general ef
fect as well as In the color schem'.-.
Touching upon this feature or the sub
ject, a well known Authority on house
decoration has the following to say:
"If a room be large and well lighted,
the side wall should be done In large
patterns, but of subdued colorings:
avoiding the use of pale tones and of
recening colors, like greens and blues;
for unless the room Is very sunshiny,
over-receding colors make a room which
Is already large look larger. Subdued
luminous colors, reds, warm vellows.
and oranges are best. Unless the room
Is riooded with sunlight a preponder
ance of i gray tones should prevail. Tho
main point to be considered Is that
there is but one color treatment for a
large room, well lighted, that which In
volves the use of subdued tones of lumi
nous colors. If a glare of sunlight In
creases the difficulty Of the nrohlcm
add more gray to the room.
"A small room well lighted rains in

heavy lines and set fla-urea. If vn.ir

line effects, the parallels being wide

course to pursue, when contemplating

although rtie railroad people are not
willing to admit that such Is the case.
In the State of Washington the north
ern roods have placed an embargo on
all system cars so that lumbermen are
now onlv able to ship when they are
successful in hunting up a eiaeiraogeu
foreign car.
The situation has not become quite
that serious here, although it is under
stood that the Harrlman peonie are aa-
verse to letting any of Its Oregon cars
out of the state. This, while It acts
detrimental to tne lumber Interests, is
believed to assist materially In moving
the erain croos.
Relative to the car shortage and the
general situation throughout the coun
try, the American Lumberman or uni-
caro. the lareest and most Influential
lumber trade Journal In the world, has
tins to say:
"The Pacific coast lumber trade is be
tween the devil and the deep sea. The
deep-sea trade is serving the mills bet
ter than the railroad devil to the east

foreign Ports. renuirlnK numerous ves
sels, charters being; none too plentiful.
The rate per thousand feet from Puget
sound points or Portland to Ban Fran
claco is S4.50 a thousand, an advance of
60 cents. There is a great demand for
snips to load wheat, wnicn causes some
concern among lumber-snippers about

"On the north coast car shortage
threatens to cause a complete embargo
on lumber and shingle shipments east

moved to coast points. Then there Is
the Imnendlng 10 cents a hundred ad
vance on rates eastbound, which threat

taking legal steps against the enforce
