The Alexander Department Store BUILDING STOPPED LCSIREIt TUI ST CRIPPLES , SAN FRANCISCO Exorbitant Price of Building- Ma terial Causes Practically All Big Contractors to Stop Work Lum ber Dropped $8 per 1000 and Other Material!) Also Decline Contractors Order Material In the East Be en uc of High Prices In the We The extortionate prices of building material in California caused prac tically all building In San Franclico lo stnn within the -oast few months. Lumber prices were advanced from $7 to 18 per thourand without any cause whatever, except that there was an urgent need for lumber In the Bay city and the market present ed an opportunity for the lumber trust to extort an unjust tribute from "builders. At first people were In clined to pny the unjust prices, but soon It was seen thnt the trust was committing an unjustifiable crime In advancing prices and building was absolutely Mopped. The Architect and Engineer, one of the most reliable bulliHug trades papers on the Pariflo coast, sayi of the situation In the Bay city: Architects report a noticeable fall ing oft of business the past month. Small work has been stopped almost entirely and a number of architects have let out some of their draughts men. It Is expected that the let- up will be only temporary, however, and the result will probably be the res toration of conditions to their nor mal state. Meanwhile there should by a tumble In prlees of material. Indeed, the fall has already begun In so far as lumber Is concerned. Th price of lumber In the local market dropped t' a thousand feet Within a very brief period, and ajl Indications point to a further decline. ' Other materials used for building are also on the decline, and property owners whose plans for building had to be deferred owing to the excessive cost of material, will again Invite bids or new structure. It was recently learned thnt a nimber' of contractors who came here "from the cast slnme the April fire ond have secured contracts for several very extensive structures, are purchasing their materials In Xew Tork, Chicago and other eastern trade centers. There are 100,000 barrels of ce ment from foreign ports tn the wa ters heading for this city, not Includ ing 70 Bhrs laden with building ma terial of all kinds, Including marble. Iron, cement and lumber, -coming to San Francisco from ports In Eng land, France, Germany and Italy. Lime nas declined from : 12.25 a barrel to $1.75, and a further decline Is expected In the near future. One dealer made a contract to deliver In 90 days 3000 barrels of lime at 1.0 per barrel.

IltKLAXD REVIEWS TH SHOEMAKER'S OBJECTIONS Genial Proprietor of Pendleton Rink Answers Article Quoted from Prt liinU Physician on Moral and Phys ical Effects of Skating Regards Skating as Healthful Exorcise De fends It on Doth Physical and Mor al Grounds. Pendleton, July 1 (Editor East Oregonlan.) In your Issue of June 2?. I note an editorial based on and quoting portions of an article by Dr. John V. Shoemaker In the June num ber of the Medical Bulletin, on the physical and moral evil of the skat ing rink. It is an old saying that there are two sides to every question and to my mind this la no exception. In dealing with the question I will first speak of that portion of Dr. Shoe maker's puper wherein he objects to the rink on the grounds that "the violent exercise and the sudden draughts and changes of air In rinks not only lay foundations for consump tion and other fatal lung diseases, but that the excitement and exulta tion also develop weak hearts, un dermine nervous, systoms and do Irre parable harm to health ond Jlfe." Whlln It Is unquestionably possible for one to go to extremes in skating the same as one can In any other kind of otherwlso helpful exercise, and thereby lay the foundation for the troubles of which the doctor complains, yet I feel safe in refuting Its nppllcutlon to the great masses of skaters who are guided and governed by common sense and discretion. Not only Is skating non-lnjur'oue- under such conditions, but on the contrary. It Is wholesome. Invigorating and healthful. During my experience In the rink buslnet (covering a pe riod of 20 years off and on) I have had excellent opportunity for study Ins) Its effects. I have seen weak, nervous women and" children greatly benefited by the exercise and business men and clerks find a much-needed relaxation after hours of tedious work. It Is no rare sight to behold Intel ligent doctors enjoying the combina tion of rc-lnxntlon and exercise that Is to be found In skating. In fact I think any unbiased per son will class skating among the best and most beneficial forms of Indoor exervlce. I say '"unbiased," for It Is the doc tor's moral aspect of the rink that I think alarms him most. Morally he ohjects to it on the grounds that "everybody goes to the skating rink. There Is no distinction. . Good, bad and Indifferent people must mingle together and the tendency Is bad. Young beys and girls lenrn to look lightly upon evil associates and be come calloused to the touch of the vicious and Immoral element." In this contention the doctor stands largely upon a false premise, for while a rink Is a "public" resort, yet If properly conducted It does not ap peal lo the vicious element. More over one doesn't need to mingle with other patrons of a rink any more Immediately than they do with mem bers of a street throng, patrons of a fa1 .r.r theater. In fact It has been my observation that the various skaters have their own corterle of friend:, and are thus Immune from any contamination. Lastly, a to yourg hoys and girls, ns a father of three, I wish to say thnt l' had much rather my children would spend a couple of the evening hours at a well conducted rink, de veloping their muscles and skating gracefully to the music of a good or chestra, ever eager to attain preater perfertinn, unmindful of this world's vle thiin to have them In many an other sotliil atmosphere thai falls to attrct the attention of many well In tending but thoughtless "would-be reformers." E. E. IRELAND. Long Live the King is the popular cry throughout European countries; while In Ameri ca, the cry of the present day Is "Long live Dr. King's New Discovery, King of Throat and Lung Remedies!" of which Mrs. Julia Ryder Paine, Truro, Mass., says: "It never falls to give Immediate relief and to quick ly cures cought or cold." Mrs. Paine's opinion is shared by a ma jority of the Inhabitants of this country. New Discovery cures weak tangs and sore throats after all other remedies have failed; and for coughs and colds It's the proven remedy. Guaranteed by Tallman & Co., drug gists. 50c and $1.00.

N. company, will arrive In the city this evening by steamer, accompanied by Charles Erickson, senior member of the contracting firm of Erickson Peterson, who hold the contract for the construction of the line from Rlparla to Lewlston and the Clearwater bridge, says the Lewlston Teller. The trip to Lewlston at this time Is for tho purpose of Inspecting the con-, dltlons of the river with a view of be ginning work on the draw pier In the middle of the channel. It is under stood the company has ordered ma terial to be delivered on the ground as soon as the water -recedes suffi ciently to begin work and It Is ex pected this can be done within the next two weeks.
