SEATTLE WANTS TO BORROW
Will Build Municipal Electric Llgh
inn Plant.
Olymnla. Wash.. Juno i ty,
state board ot land commissioners is
considering the advisability of grant
ing an application mado by the city
of Seattle for a loan ot $500,000 from
the permanent school fund of the
stnte, to be used in erecting an elec
tric light planu If the loan Is nego
tiated the state will get 4 per cent
interest, tho minimum rate fixed by
law for such loans being 3; per
cent.
There is some objection to the
loan because of its size, and the
transaction depends largely upon the
showing that will be made by the Se
attle parties. There is $700,000 in
permanent school funds on hand in
the state, owing to its accumulation
under the former minimum rate of
interest, which was 4 per cent.

WOOL SALES TODAY.
About One Quarter Million Pounds
Changes Hands This Afternoon.
Tho second series of tho annual
wool sales are belnr held In the city
this atternoon and tho wool In tho
I ig warehouses of tho place are be
ing emptied of their load of Hecres.
i There Is a large number of buyers
I hero aim they all aeem to wnnt to
buy and an a result the crop is mov
ing at a good rate. On tho other
hand the growers seem to bo as anx
ious to sell as tho buyers to buy and
welcome any bid that Is In the na
ture of reason.
During tho day hut two bids have
been rejected and one of them has
hcen reconsidered and tho original
offer has been accepted. Tho prices
offered have been about the Bamo as
they wero on the last day here, with
one or two exceptions. On the last
day tho highest price offered was 13
as against 14 on today, but this fig
ure was only offered for tho clip of
one man. It Is thought that the even
ing will sco most of the wool stored
here sold, only a few of tho growers
being willing to take the risk of
holding thplr clips for prlvato sale,
and to pay the Insurance required by
the warehouses. The sales made up

vent Decline In Price.
Portland, Juno 12. Loggers In tho
Portland market yesterday decided to
take radical measures to prevent ah

decline In" price. About 25 of them,

000 feet, met in the office ot tho Nc
lmlem Numbering Company nnd unan
imously agreed to close their camps
for two weeks beginning July 1 nnd.
If that does not sutllco to prevent
an over-supply, to shut down for n
further Indefinite time.
Little logging has boon done In tho
burred districts nml little will be nt
tempted until ntter tho Kburth of
July.
Logs have been gblng Into the wn
ter plentifully ot late nnd this has
led mlllmrn to anticipate a decline
In prices. Tho loggers aro deter
mined to prevent this nnd, ns n great
proportion of tho timber land Is in
the hands of men who are In no hur
ry to reallie on It, except In tho burn
ed districts, they are In n position to
