OREGON AND WASHINGTON SPRUCE,
At iloiitesano, May 19th, a corre
spondent of the Northwestern Lum
berman -wrote as follews:
How many "substitutes for white
pine'' have been brought forward
since the wise men of the Census
Bureau discovered in 1SS0 that the
supplv of that valuable timber would
be exhausted in a few years? From
the present state of the market I
judge that there is still some white
pine left, and that dealers are not ap
prebensivo of its immediato extinct
ion. But though it is doubtless true
that tho timber of tho lako region
will last for many years yet, I think
it will bo admitted that the nner
grades of white pine are becoming so
scarce and high priced that a wood
to partially take its place is a des
ideratum. Of all the timbers 5et
offered for that purpose only one,
southern yellow piue, has made any
headway, and that is only one line,
flooring and ceiling. For finishing
lumber .in common buildings, for
siding, for the cheaper grades of
dressed and matched lumber, for the
common boards so largely used
throughout the we3t, I think I am
safe m saying that no lumber luis yet
been found on tho Pacific slope to
lako the placo of white pine. Prob
abl3 no perfect substitute for that
magnificent timber will never bo
feund: but I think wo havo in a com
paratively neglected tree of tho north
Pacific coast a material that will yet
bo shipped east of tho Itockv mouu
tains for sonio of the uses we have
mentioned. The tree I refer to is the
Sitka spruce, which is found in abun
dance over the entire region west of
the Cascado mountains from 100 mile
south of the Columbia river to the
British Columbia line.
Tuo tree is of great size, a bight of
250 feet, and a diameter of six feet
being not uncommon. The wood i3
rather heavier than white pine, which
it somewhat resembles in appearance,
and weighs rough, when dry, about
2800 pounds to the thousand feet.
The logs yield a largo percentago of
clear lumber, which takes under the
plane a beautiful, smooth, silky sur
face. It makes excellont finishing
lumber aud siding, as it is entirely
irco from pitch, and takes paint oven
better than white pine. A valuable
feature is the nature of the knots,
which are nearlv all hard and sound.
ulhCknots?,wbfini 'wilfnot Knock
ont, and which make even tho coars'
est of the lumber available for the
barn boards" in such demand among
western farmers. It also makes
splendid shingles, and I think an ab
solutely clear shingle can bo produced
here cheaper than anywhere else in
the United btates. lor packing
boxes it is qnito extensively used on
this coast, and unequaled for tlrat
purpose by any timber I know of.
In the last two years quito a de
mand for spruce boards for lining
grain vessels has arisen in San Fran
cisco, but there is as yet no steady
market for it, aud spruce stumuagc
is not in much demand. California
uses redwood almost entirely for fin
ishing, and in thi region the native
cedar is used because it furnishes a
material that is easily worked, and
shrinks so little that it may be made
into doors, etc., withont seasoning.
Had it not been for these two com
petitors tho merits of the spruce
would have been recognized long
ago.
We also have, m our lir, a material
equal in most respects to the south
ern vellow pine, and far superior in
size and accessibility. Should the
southern pine ever bo exterminated,
as we are told the white pine is being.
Washington territory and Oregon
will be able to fnrnish in unlimited
quantities a clear, rift-sawed fir floor
ing as good as any yellow pmo 1 have
ever seen; aud in .ill the attributes of
a good framing material it is superior
to either white or yellow pine.
Mail advices from Fort Spokane
bring news of the drowning on the
9lh inst. of two soldiers of Troop H,
second cavalrv. While out fishing on
the Spokane river their boat upset
and thevsank beforo assistance could
reach them. On Monday, the 8th
inst., a son of Chief Moses was
drowned in the Columbia at Fort
Spokane. This makes six persons
drowned near the fort within one
month, and none of their bodies havo
been recovered.
Reports from tho Willamette vallev
say the hop yield will be largo this
year. Tho same report comes from
Puyallup valley. All that is wanted
is reasonably fair prices aud the
growers will bo satisfied. Last year's
prices were 13 to 15 cents per pound,
but at present 5 to 9 cents is quoted.
At the last figures there is hardlv anv
margin of profit for the growers. Tho
yield of lbb2 brought on an averago
SI per pound.
Why do Doctors Prescribe Ltnuorst
Because they know not what else to
ao; or necnuse sometimes a little
liquor serves to kindle the exhausted
uresot aigestion. unt this liquor
prescription is aaa Dnsinpss for tim
patients, for it makes drunkards rml

CATTLE THIEVES IN PRFGAY.
"Cattle thieves in the land where
I raise stock," said a Montevideo cat
tle breeder visiting Now York, "have
discovered a new and ingenious mode
of distinguishing their booty. Last
autumn I lost several head, and half
a dozen times I and my men, with
the mounted policemen, came up
w ith the thieves, and I snw with them
cattlo that I knew at once were mine.
My brand was on them (J. M.) nnd
sometimes there were scars on the
bodies that I know quite well. The
animals were exactly like mine in
every respect but bne. Tho horns
branched differently. If those on my
cows had pointed up these dropped
toward the gronnd, and often one
pointed forward and tho other back
ward, or one .toward tho sky and the
other toward the earth.
"J. M.,' the drover said, were his
own or his employer's initials. The
cattle were certainly mine, but I could
not swear to them, and I was oblidged
to see them taken away.
"Tho thieves had kept the horns
wrapped in poultices of boiling hot
meal until they were soft enough to
bo twisted, and thus destroyed the
cows identity. The horns soon hard
ened when the bandages were re
moved. "I havo been told that the trick
was invented by Russian cattle
thieves. I wish they had kept it at
home."
Steamer Seized.
Deputy Collector, Frank Winslow
arrived last evening from Semiahmoo,
his new station. Ho made his first
appearance there on Friday last, and
found tho British steamer Hope in
port. -Captain Bentley claimed he
went there in distress, but Mr. Wins
low learned that he had been there
thirty-six hours, and hail had con
nection with the shore several times,
contrary to tho laws of our countrv.
The deputy took charge of the vessel
on behalf of the United States, and
securing tho services of Captain Dav
is, late of the Eranytl, left Semiah
moo at 5 v. m. Friday Tor Port Towns

Last Sunday, the second son of
Mr. Hamilton, aged 12 years, was
drowned in the middle fork of the
Willamette river, near A, D. Hyland's
ferry, while he and an older brother
and his uncle, lL Miller, wore at
tempting to ford the river. Getting
into deep water the wagon box
floated off, and with the bov was car
