t Advices from the lumber markets of
the east and south picture a sorry pros
pect for the lumber mills of the Paclflo
northwest. It Is said that Irrespective
Cf their railroad rate troubles, the lum
ber mill men have little chance to con-
tlnue doing business at 'a profit In the
face of a glutted eastern market. Re
liable reports are to the effect that the
mills of the Southern Pine association
have at the present time 11,000.000.000 j
feet of side cut stuff on band, which is
enough lumber to supply the middle
west for two years' or trade equal to
that of 1907.
u Small mill owners In Oregon are
being advised to shut down immediately i
for an Indefinite period. There are a
lam number of these mills, not counted

Willis K. Potter, whose firm Is one

uulnr th eastern and Southern field
to learn the exact situation ss to the
lumber trade and other Industrial con

"The Paclflo northwest ships by ne

uppers and clear, and large timbers for
railroad and other heavy construction.
From no other part of Uie country can
these materials be secured. This means
that there Is a Jarge by-product of
smaller stuff. ,
"When a big timber Is sawed out of
the middle of the log there Is a great

association reports 12.000,000,000-leet or

year, which is not within the range of
probabilities.
"This material Is selling at southern
t mills at Jo to $10 per 1,000 feet, accord
ing to sixes, thereby shutting entirely
the consumption of these grades from
the Pacific northwest out of the mid
dle west. The Nevada mines are closed
on account of the action of the rail
roads and smelters In stopping con
sumption of lumber. The smelters ar4
hut down Dendlnar the decision of a
suit against the American Smelter
company. In the Utah supreme court, on
the smoke and fuel nuisance question.
"Conditions In the Texas field do not
warrant opening up the trade there.
Mules and horses are selling at half
price, wages are down to $1.26 and $1.60
per day, and many men are Idle. Rail
roads are taking off crews and running

V Ho Prospect of Outlet.
"These facts cut out any possibility,
even at present freight rutes, of dis
posing of Oregon and Washington mill
output in the eastern markets at a
profit over the present price of logs
and cost of production.
"The demand at San Francisco and
bay points has been reduced to such
a point that not to exceed 40 per cent
of the coastwise carriers are running
between the sound, Gray s Harbor,
Portlund and 8an Francisco, and cargo
rates have dropped from $14 last year
to $3.50 and $4 at the present time.
The materials that are being shipped
are bringing prleoa that In many cases
are less than the actual cost of logs
at the mills.
"A random cargo sold at San Fran
cisco last week at $11 per 1,000 feet.
This price, taking into account the
freight, wharfage and inspection
charges, which aggregate $4.85 per 1,000
feet, leaves the mills 46.15 per 1,000,
while the logs In the Columbia river are
costing them $7 to $8.60, with towage
charges added In most cases to these
prices."
Mr. Potter said every little mill in
Oregon that has been cutting ties and
railroad timbers has from 100,000 to
1,000,000 feet of side cut lumber piled
up in the yard, and many arcompeUed
to sacrifice these stocks to .false money
for current expenses.
It Is said that southern mills are In

Blackman began his operations Fri
day afternoon after banking hours, tak
ing thoughtful advantage of the fact
that yesterday was a legal holiday
and that any checks passed by him
could not be presented at the banks un
til after 10 o'clock Monday morning.
Just how much of the bogus paper he
had succeeded in putting out before he
fell into the clutches of the detectives
is not known, but reports of half a
'dozen or more of the worthless checks
have already been received at police
headquarters.
Friday evening Blackman hired an
automobile and at once proceeded to
cut a wide swath through the resorts
In and out of the city. He paid for
his entertainment in checks drawn on
the snot, and as he was well dressed,
rode in an automobile and had the
air of one born to the purple, no one
hesitated to accept his. orders on his
bankers and to give him the change in
rood hard cash. -
Along toward morning, when he grew
tired of treading the primrose path, ne
wrote out a check for $27 to pay for
the automobile and retired to his
apartments at the Colonial. The night's
work had been af rood one and he
must snatch a few hours sleep in or
der to be fit for the proper prosecution
of his task during- the daylight hours
of yesterday.

How he fared during the day is not
wholly known, though It Is certain he
was not idle. In the meantime the
automobile man had become suspicious
and when Blackman telephoned him to
come to the Colonial with his machine,

From the Forth Worth Record
N. C. McElhaney, a farmer who lives
near 'this place, has apparently solved
the problem of ridding his cotton fields
or tne dreaded boll weevil, and that
too, by the simplest and at the same
time most profitable process. Mr. Mc
Elhaney's plan is to keep a drove of
turkeys In his cotton field. The bigger
the cotton field the bigger the drove
of turkeys and the bigger the profits.
"in 1905 i raised m turxeya that
spent their time on a four-acre tract
of land near the house which had been
planted to cotton," said Mr. McElhaney.
"This piece of ground that year made
400 pounds of cotton to the acrfe mora
than it had ever made before.' Ba-
llevlng that the turkeys, .had something;
to do with it, I decided to try them
again. In 1906 I raised 75 turkeys and
they ran in ri acres or a field of 29
acres that I had planted to cotton.
This was a bad year Jor boll worms,
"The 12 acrea where the turkeys
stayed made a bale . to tha acre, or a
