CHARIER PRICES BACK TO NORMA WAK E OF DECLINE W, H, Marston Taken at Dis tinct Advance; Steamer I Taking for Local Loading. The Columbia Contract company, aft er finishing the fitting up of four barges for sea-going trade and getting in splendid condition two of Its larg est tugs the Sampson and Biddle has c ommenced to load the first barges at the Inman & Poulson Mill with lum. h.. e nnn noo . ........ .ukj"1"' r r":-K.r;::V,- "V":: to the government o.v. ui v. v. u r inc uaic ivuniuci win- pany for the AVaska Engineering: com mission. It will not take very long for the two tugs and four oarges to deliver the amount of lumber specified in the contracts secured by the Eagle Lumber company. Puget sound interests are eagerly bidding to have the Columbia Contract company 'put its tugs and berges into service up there for trans porting Puget sound lumber to Al aska, and .perhaps other commodities. Portland is thus given a splendid op portunity to de-velop a certain kind of a norinDouna commerce wiinoui any I isaviKation far as can te learned there are no oth er Interests, except the Eagle Lumber company, that have j?one into the field to get enough business to warrant the continuance of the service of this barge line. A - number of local business men who have followed the work of the Columbia Contract company closely since they undertook to transport the lumber named, believe that a move ment should be started to sec if enough freight cannot be originated In this territory to load the barges at capacity for every trip they could make from now until the close of navigation. These men, who have been conferring with the trade and com merce bureau of the Chamber of Commerce on the subject, point out that a number of the Portland mills could join hands to make a most Im proved addition to the Htnounl of lumber that would be taken out of the river this year for tl.o Alaska trade. They also have indicated that quite a large amount of the mod rails that are to be shipped by Mie United States Steel Products, or other Steel interests wnicti are lurnishiug could be put on these open barges; in ract, the suggestion has -been made that thev might be adapted to quite a variety of commodity shipments. Following out the suggestions that have been made, the chamber's repre sentatives are going to get in touch with all concerns that might in any way furnish freight for this line and see if the people who have established the line and those who desire to reach the north through such a service can not be brought together. While the Eagle Lumber company, which has its mills on the Pacific company's line, has the certain rate -conditions that - be earn effective only May 16, the first load, or so ' will be taken front the tide- water mills here. At a later date it is the purpose of the Eagle Lumber company to furnich all the ma terial handled unless extraordinary conditions arise. Assurance has been given the management of the com pany by all the local mills that they would fee very glad to participate in the order and help protect the business. expense to the public whatever; yet, so contract for the lumber, because of Alsace Believed Next Battleground Swiss Military Expert Bailor Oer. mans Xxpeot to Torestall What They Think is Probable r ran oh Offensive.

It is st i mated that a new German army of sou.noo has been assembled in front of 'the southern French line. Colonel l.uHler, the Swiss military expert who Is at the German head quarters as a war correspondent, writes to the "Bund:'' "From what 1 have learned I can safely nay that Alsace will be the next great b.-dt leground. The Germans ex pect a French offensive on this Par of the front and they will forestall it as they always do by attacking first.
