The steel beams are ahout 25 per cent heavier than those that went Into the frame of either the Wells-Fargo or ber oh the other hand remain weak, the past few days having shown a decline In the shingle market on Puget sound. But manfacturers hope for better prices in the near future. At any rate, they contend that shingles will never be cneaper than right now. The local demand for lumber has been brisk air fall but It is expected to di minish to a certain extent during the wet weather when the building activity as a. rule shows a material falling off. Cement is In bigger demand than for some time and a large percentage of the surplus that caused Importers consid erable worry' some weeks ago has been disposed of at- advanced figures. Two cargoes have Just arrived' here from Europe but it Is held that It will not be long before they have found their way out of the warehouse along" the waterfront. Most of the cement now in the hands of the dealers 1s of the better grades, the cheap stuff having been gobbled up during the period of depression by parties building to sell.

The fruit growing Industry and the consequent largo shipments east has as Biim'd Hiii-h proportions in Oregon, Washington and Idaho that the railroads will soon be forced to Inaugurate an effective and economical method ot pre coollng almost equal In magnitude to thiit being adopted in southern Cali fornia.. Between 8,000 and 10,000 cars of fruit will bo shipped this year from Oregon. Washington and Idaho to the eastern markets. The cost of refrigerating these cars Involves an immense sum, and even with the verv best of atten tion the fruit frequently reaches "the eastern markets In an unsatisfactory condition. A precoollng plant established In Portland, where the loaded fruit cars from Oregon, Washington and western Idaho could be assembled and then cooled to the proper temperature be fore starting on the long Journev eant would not onlv add much to the reputa tion of the fruits grown In these three states, but would mean an enormous saving In Ice, and would Insure the de livery at Its destination of the fruit in perfect condition. A SURPRISED MINISTER Hyomei Cured Bronchial Catarrh Af ter He Had Given Up in Despair. ''For many years I have been a suf ferer from bronchial catarrh, and had despaired of anything like a cure. Judge of my pleasant surprise when 1 first used Hyomei, which brought complete relief. Hyomei has been a veritahle -godsend. "Rev. Charles Hartley, Sardinia, Ohio. There are many readersof Tli Jour nal who are suffering from catarrh, either nasal or bronchial. Many of these despair of ever being cured. They have soaked their stomachs with nostrums until they are dlsgucted with all medi cines, and are now traveling their mis erable way, allowing the devilish germs of catarrh to sap them of their health, energy and vitality. ... But let us reason together. Wood ard, Clarke & Co., the druggists, havo a guaranteed remedy for catarrh, colds, coughs, bronchitis, croup, and all In flammatory diseases of the nova, throat and bronchial tubes. The name of this remarkable remedy is Hyomei, and If It doesn't cure they will give you your money back. ' Hyomei (pronounced HlgH-o-me) Is medicated air; you just ' breathe it through the inhaler over the inflamed and germ ridden membrane, and Its soothing antiseptic properties will nllav the Inflammation, destroy .the germs, and restore the entire respiratory tract to its normal conditions. A complete Hyomei outfit, Including a hard rubber Inhaler, costs but $1.00, and an extra bottle of Hyomei. if after wards needed, costs but 50 cents. See Woodard.
