Saving the Lumber Industry
sflOV. MEIER and Gov. Hartley are joining forces to see
vT if something caanot be done to save the lumber indus
try, which is the greatest single enterprise in each state.
i The move is meritorious though perhaps belated. So many
mills have shut down and gone broke and so many commun
ities have suffered that much of the damage has already
been done. The new tariff has so far been a weak reed, for
lumber prices in June sank to still lower levels, $9.25 per
thousand feet at the mill, all grades, a lower price than any
J recorded since 1889, when it was $8.67. There are some in
timations however that the tariff may prove beneficial; out
the restoration of the industry must come from revival of
demand, otherwise the excess capacity in this country will
proceed by competition to keep prices down regardless of
tariffs. 1
The situation is not without hope however. Steel indus
try was down to 12 per cent last week and has been running
about 17. The lumber industry in the northwest has been
j operating at about 20 for some time. But orders have I
come in at a higher rate, during June orders exceeded pro
duction, by 15.3. As a result of continued curtailment
I heavy inventories of a year ago have been reduced about
20, which is a constructive factor.
The last bulletin of the West Coast Lumbermera as
sociation gives the first note of optimism in many months
when it comments:
"Some favorable signs are beginning to appear. Too low
prices are shutting oft production and thus reducing mill offer
ings; large crops and values betterments tor stable agrlcul-
ture products such as beef and pork, if continued, are most!
likely to create lumber consumption on farms; retail stocks are
extremely low with buying becoming more difficult; a scarcity,
of homes is seen in some suburban areas; increased rural build
ing and; repairs is occurring in connection with the back-to-the-l
land shift in population; and greater programs of public con
struction are expected; all are factors expected to increase
lumber consumption. In addition broken stocks at the mills j
are being reflected in higher prices in a few items and the ef
fects of the. lumber tariff is beginning to be felt."

Thin Hoax Blows Up
XTO one is greatly surprised at the confession of fraud n
ll the story of the robbery of initiative petitions for the J
consolidation of the university and state college. The hoax
was too glaring for popular consumption. Editors every
where tied a question mark to the yarn when it was print
ed. Just what the objectives were m this grandstand play
jare not quite apparent There were evidently enough sie-
jnatures without the dramatics of the 'closing days, and the
i play for public sympathy was too thinly disguised to be
convincing. The affair bears the signs of perpetration by
couege boys who filled to grow up. .
The merits of the measure are thus comnromised bv
the tactics of those having the promotion in charge. The
manneriin which a grave public auestion has been man-
nanttied and bungled provokes disgust amonsr those who an-
p roach the problem of support of our state's educational in
stitutions with an open mind, and might be disposed to do
something drastic if they became convinced of ultimate
benefit to the state.
The gold stream is swelling as a result of eMlrltv in ii nm.

It was the discovery of Alaskaa gold which brought the great proa

believe that there remain fields equally rich awaiting only tho lucky
thrust of the prospector's pick to bright them to light. j

has said of this painful symptom,
"Neuralgia is the cry of a nerve
for more or better blood."
Bat pain is not a symptom ha
every case of anemia. Many
patients suffer from poor - blood
because of the absorption ef toxins
from some sort ef body poisoning.
When there is neuralgia, it is im

"There is a secret I tried to keep.
My grandmother was a Negress
from Trinidad. Lola knew that She
knew that I could not play roman

and Hollywood if that fact were

my mother. Ia desperation, I pre
tended te be ia love with her. Tes
I was willing to act that part in
order te marry her, and hope to get
free of this unceasing tribute. I
suppose I was crazy but I thought
I could touch her heart, and win
peace by shamming love. It was no
got She told me her love was dead;
she loved only money and pleas
ure now. Why, Mr. Colt I evea paid
money te Eunice James te tip me
off as to what happened ta that
apartment I wanted to get some
thing oa Lola, if I could so that I
could even eounter-blackmafl her,
if possible, and thus work myself
free. I believed ithat Christine
Quires did not tike my profession
and worked . against me, I stm
wanted ta marry Lola and 1 took
a long chance and asked Christine
out last night la the hope ef get
ting her on ay sue. Because X
pleaded ae hard, she turned down
several ether men for me, Bat, Mr.
Colt, whea Christina talked te me
last night, I learned that she was
living in terror ef her life!"
Wildly Gay Everett looked from
Colt to Dougherty aad thea back to
Police Commissioners. '
"In terror of her life, he repent

a terrible discovery involving Lola
Carewe. She also said that Doctor
Baldwin was deeply mixed op in it
She said she didnt know, what to
do. She had found out .a plot to
take Lola's life and because she
had found it out, she felt that her
own life was in danger. At one
moment she was tempted to. go to
the police and tell them what she
knew. But thea she would think
better ef it She wanted my ad
"Who was It that she found out
meant to kill Lola?" cut in Colt
anxiously.
"Ah. she wouldn't ten me that,
rroaned Guy Everett, gracefully
flecking his silken handkerchief
against his brow. "I begged. I en
treated. I cajoled. I pleaded. I ha
rassed the poor girt, until she
claimed she felt ill and-made me
bring her home. I offered te take
her to a hotel. No, she wouldn't
hear of it She finally said the best
thing to de was to ro back to the
apartment and have the whole thing
out But she wouldnt give In one
Inch and. tell me anything about
the matter that had worried her so.
And that was all!" ;
"Did yoa ever threatea Lola?
asked Dougherty, recalling the
story we had heard! in the pent
house.
"Yes. We had several violent
scenes. But I meant her no real
harm!"
"Of course not" purred Dough
erty, folding his hands over his
vest
"She gave yoa not even a hint?"
asked Colt in a low tone.
"I have told yoa aQ that I know.
And I ask your pardon for having
lied in the first place. I dont know
what it all means but perhaps
what X have told yea will help
you!"
Colt gave the exhausted Thes
pian a drink. For more than half
an hour the Commissioner and the
District Attorney pried at Everett
with questions, but they learned
nothing more than he had already
told them, ate gave his promise
that he would remala at the

face warmed with his whiskey and
soda, and a light of relief ia his
eye. Gov Everett bowed himself
through the door. As sooa as he
was gone, I telephoned te Head
quarters, assigning a man te the
North Star speakeasy, to confirm,
if possible, Everett's story that he
was there.
"If that lsnt substantiation of
my theory, I dont know what it
is," exulted Dougherty. "Christine
had found out something."
"About Lola's life being in dan
ger not about Jewels," said Colt
"And dont forget Christine's
reasoning fear of Chung."
"That's Mrs. Carewe's story,"
demurred Dougherty. "Somehow, I
doat put much stock ta that"
"This dramatis confession ef
Everett's doesnt clear him, either,"
continued Colt "He made it only
after he knew we had punctured
his alibi. And he took time to think
up a careful story. But it Is re
markable that he drags in Doctor
Baldwin's name again. I am afraid
we shall have to look carefully into
Doctor Baldwin and his connec
tions!" Arthur had poured fresh coffee

hat Multooler had told as:
"Aa for the hypodermic admlnis.

paratus employed, demonstrates
conclusively that ne poison was
given Lola Carewe or Christine -
Quires through the hypodermic
needle. There was ne drug ta that
needle aside from a moderate and
harmless quantity of adrenalia
which Doctor Baldwin had merci
fully administered."
It was now the fan Bght ef
morning. We bathed and ahaved ia
Colt's variously tinted bathrooms
and then ia the Commissioner's cat
we rode downtown. Very little was
said on that nasty Journey we had
talked and thought the Jong night
through and for this brief interval
we rested. On the sidewalk ta front
of the old Georgian Headquarters
building la bright sunshine thai
had inherited New Tork from the
storm of the night before we ar
ranged to lunch together at the
District Attorney's dub atop the
Chrysler Building, and then Dough
erty hastened on to his office.
It was Just eight o'clock on that
morning of January first, when
Thatcher Colt and I returned to
the Commissioner's private office
at the north end of the second
floor of the building at 240 Center
Street
Oa the chief's desk lay the early
tabloids screaming out the tale of
the double murders. In a neat pile
beside them was stacked a sheaf
of reports on various angles of the
ease, and Colt prepared to plunge
directly into them, as Flynn, red
eyed and remorseless, came in, sa
luted, and slouched on a chair be
side the Commissioner.
"I can summarize most ef that
for you, chief!" proposed the In
spector, amiably closing one eye.
"SLoot!"
"Fve had fifty men working all
night long, yanking people out of
bed and our information is fairly
complete. It doesnt help us mach.
I had a talk with Lola's lawyer
this morning. He says she had ae
enemies that he knows of."
"A man with a positive genius
for misinformation!" commented
Colt
"Right chief. Anyway, he says
she's filthy rich; he has the keys of
her safe-deposit boxes but wont
give them ap' without a court or
der. I left word with the D. A.'s
"Right Well get the keys in aa

"WeR, chief-yoa were right

"It did come from Christine

"Ne doubt about that If s with
