Weak Kail Shipment I)c
mand, Due to Tariff Agi
i tation, Threats, to Close
I Logging Camps and rossi
' bly Country Mills.
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. But
now It la said business Is as dead as
a door nail.
MUlmen aay they can attribute the
Midden falling off In orders to nothing
)it the tariff revision agitation. Retail
rks In the east and middle states are
.. and it la the time of year when

This waiting- will, therefore, laat
1 vably 60 days, or long enough to
ma'ualy injure what la termed the
.... -ns trade.
f have air idea that every old farmer

' 3T situation, "but they are wrong, be-
f.use even if the duty should be re
iced to 11 thousand feet, the con
fi Mirer would get very ltitle if any
i ,of It. The reduction would be swal
st,. wed. up bv the brokers and middle

pr slness now, nevertheless,
ent Conditions are reported much worse

.Th., lumber . and .shingle manufacturers
of ('ause there they do not have the ad
w 4itage of such large -local markets,
B. -sides many of the Portland and Co
i' mbla river mills have had large for-
e gn orders to keep them busy even to
' 'he extent of running double ' shifts.
But these will soon have been dis
patched and then, it is said, the if ailing
off In the rail demand will be more no
ticeable here. ; .-

posited $1000 with the state land board
yesterday afternoon and signed a con
tract by which his company Is pledaed"
to complete the preliminary survey for
the reclamation of the lower Powder
River valley within six months. 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.

that the nontrart Is the moiL favorable

Beautiful Easter Hats That
Fairly Breathe Style
There are many fads in the Spring Hat for example, that of
combining a hardy field flower with a modest little hothouse
bloom; but it doesn't matter, as long as there is harmony of color.
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.

the platform of which declares for city
ownership of water and light systems.

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.
