Beef Trust Rtises Price. Dora Items. New York, March 21,— Determin ed on still another increase in the already enormous profits on the sale of dressed beef, tue beef trust has made an arbitrary advance of oDe cent a pound on its product The advance goes into effect tomor row. This means an increae o f two or three cents a pound to the con sumer. It is estimated that the beef trust will increase ita profits more than $160,000 per month by the new price schedule. T h . advance is regarded as arbi trary and absolutely without justi fication from the condition of the livestock market The rise in price is said to be the direct result of the war that has been waged for months by the beof trust in an ef fort to crush the Cudahy Packing company, its great rival. The beef trust found that the Cudahy interests were able to meet every cut with a greater one. Retrench ment by the trust followed and prices have been steadily advancing for several months. The present increase directly af fects not only this city, but indi rectly every other city throughout the country. Simultaneously with the increase in the price of beef by the whole salers there will be a corresponding increase by the retailers. Although opposed to any rise in price at the present, they are compelled by the exactions of the beef trust to meet the increase. The latest example of the rapacity by the trust comes at a time when the supply o f beef was never greater and when the price of beef on the hoof ia going down. Behold the beautiful snow on the highlands. March has been true to her uame, a stormy month. L. S. Minard has been cutting and hauling a flue lot of logs. Sure the mill man will uot scale him out of one-third of such fine logs. The team is now at M. J. Krantz's haul ing, the loggers are stilt holding the Nozth Fork with a large amouQt of logs. I guess J. M. Bright and the loggers will have a contest suit or Uncle Sara and the loggers, as they did not open the river when noti fied to. J. M. Porter has rented the Sam Goheen place and will move onto the same. The heavy wind storm caused several trees to cross the county wagon road. A logging camp is to start up on Big Creek when the weather settles. Robert Parrish is planning to run the Gravel Ford creamery this season. The Dora school commenced on the 21st, with Frank Pierson as teacher. Mabel Weekly will teach the Gravel Ford school and Mrs. F. Pierson the Pleasant Hill school. Shiloh school district is talking of moving the schoolhouse site near the bridge. About seven or eight feel of snow is reported on the Coos Bay road at the summit o f the mountain. Some of the farmers fed their hay cut to soon this year. Easter services at Gravel Ford on April 3rd, also at Pleasant Hill. The prospects for a fruit crop are good. We hear the Myrtle Point and Fairview mail route will be shorten ed and only run from Myrtle Point to Lee, as about five miles of road is now traveled with only ono or two settlers on it from Lee to Fair, view.

During the heat of action a laughable feature was the many “ headers” taken by an over-zoalous patriot, which the Co quille failed to cool, for in his veins the blood of Nimrod burns and water quenches not. Never the less when overbalenced by excitement and the restless nature of logs, tho best resolutions take a tumble.
