WOOD HKjHER.
It of the Reasons wny nrcwuuu
Iosts More Now Than It Did One
ear Ago.
be price of wood in this vicinity
bfcouwed lor "
Eg by the natural exhaustion of
timber foiest fires and scarcity of
he quotations by the companies
Liim the nroduct of the Cascade
fjntains is fo hlEh that the local
tiers cannot handle it at all tins
on. The Cascade people claim
thev cannot do lietter because
natural consumption and the de-
uctive forest fires have made and
I continue to make, great Inroads
the supply and the prices for
t Ttood from those districts will be
fcbr and higher in the future, prob-
III the Blue mountains there has
daring the past winter fuch a
city of labor that the dealers
1 not get out wood enough to
ly the natural demand, and nat
y the labor they did get cost
n more than it has heretofore', to
: my ood cut at all. The mining
strict! were competitors for the la-
fcr and took at good wages every
lia who could he induced to go into
te mines. This agrees with the re-
kns of all the mining men them-
fives, that there is steady and ln
hasbr demand for labor in the
txee.
Of course the depletion of the for
ests Is going on all the time In the
Blue mountains as well as in the Cas
cades, which results not only In an In
creasing scarcity of timber, but the
labor bill for getting the wood to
railroad points for shipments in
screases every year on account of the
distance the wood has to be hauled
Increasing as the timber line recedes.
There has not been aily marked ad
vance in the price of wood except
compared with a year ago, but the
causes at work would Indicate that
the price Is liable to be higher next
year than this. There is the same
complaint of threatened famine in
wood over the entire timber produc
ing district, and fuel Is cheaper here
than In the Spokane country.

Ulils will be received up to April
30th, for street sprinkling. Four or

S-fiect any and all Lids.
FRANK B. CLOPTON,
Chairman Sprinkling Committee.

,of at least 50 per cent In the amount
of business the Northern Pacific Ex
press Company at this point transact
ed In the year just passed, compared
with the year Immediately preceding
the year Just ended. Ho also Informs
the reporter that each year beginning
with 1894, has shown an Increase of
business over the preceding year, but
the Increase of the past year has been
the most pronounced.
