Owing to the falling oft In the de mand for lumber for rail shipment the log market has dropped to such an extent that some campa in. this district will probably be closed down for a time. Owners of mills In the country, who depend "nearly alto gether on rail business, also speak of shutting down .their plants until the demand becomes at least normal The local demand for building mi terlal Is brisk and similar reports are received from manufacturers located in growing; communities throughout the state, but It in not near sufficient to keep them cutting; to capacity. Stagnation In the rail business came very suddenly, because up to a week or so ago orders were coming In freely rrom all Darta and U was tnougnt spring business had at last begun.

It was also agreed that at the completion of the survey the Evans A Almiral com piny may contract to reclaim the entire tract, running from 10,000 and 50,300 acres, at a maximum lien price of $81 an acre. . It Is thought the lien will not run $61 an. acre, but that figure was established so as to set a maximum, beyond which the reclamation company can not go with Its surveys. The state engineer Is of the opinion that the nontrart Is the moiL favorable ever entered Into by the state under the Carey act for the reclamation of arid lands.

Filmy laces, chiffons, soft ribbons and velvets, and flowers graduating from the tiny moss rose to the: huge peony all go to make up exceptionally artistic hats for spring. We welcome with delight the more conservative shape in other words, the crowns and brim "balance"; and, by the way, the crowns are much lower, many of them showing the delightfully quaint tarn crowns, or possibly a little cone-shaped affair. The mushroom has paved the way for the "poke," which is really a development of the former hat, and is very attractively trimmed with dainty flowers: Our New Show Rooms Modern, Elegant Realizing the need of devoting sufficient room for displaying and selling Flowers, Misses's Hats, Trimmed and UntrimmeS Ladies' Hats, Tailored Hats and Patterns, we have enlarged our Millinery Showrooms to three times their former size. Today we we have the largest Millinery Department on the coast, divided into four distinct sections. We are displaying double the hats of former seasons. They await your approval now. Our exhibition includes hats of all styles, shapes and cost. It is the largest, smartest and most exclusive showing we have ever made. In matter of style and quality, the showing is superior to any opening ever held in Portland. Our prices are about one half what other houses charge. We have made a specialty of popular priced hats for the last three years no one can equal us. -f ? v i ; V:- Old I t J inflrt . ? . a a (By nrnl Leased Silent Wire.) Salem. ORi April 2.

The public realizes the place to buy diamonds is where the diamond busi ness is made a specialty. At our store you are not asked' to select from a col lection of little consequence, but the quality, variety and general tone of the assortment are such as to absorb your" attention at once. When prices are compared with others offered you, the difference is so apparent that even a person biased in favor of another store must concede it good trading to buy of us. THE REASON For our lowness of price is our ability to buy and sell diamonds in larger quantities than the average dealer (besides, we buy for spot cash). The liberal terms we offer terms that per mit you to buy any diamond in our store, wear it at once, and pay for it while you are wearing it. Be sure to see our stock and get our prices be fore you buy elsewhere. It will pay you.
