Portland and Sound timber operators, to raise tho prlco of timber claims. Ilero toforo tho prlco that operators havo charged as tho fco for finding tho land and locating the applicant, has ranged from f 75 to f ISO. Earlier in the toaton whon thcro wcro hundreds of moro claims to bo had than now, it was easy to got a location almost anywhere, for tho lower flguro. In July and August tho low prlco was gonorolly f 100. Operations woro almost entirely suspended when tho fires occurred, and ro commoncing Lrjow, the price has been over f 100, ox- copt iu Urge numbers. Parties of eight to ten, have been ablo to hold the price down to 1100. Tho largor oporatore claim that all timber that can now be found nnywhcrfl is wort'a $150 to the claim. Thcro want tho tmaller opera tors to join In fixing tho higher prlco. Thoy data thatthere will be mora profit oven with tt smaller nqmbor of locations, than at tho lower pric. So far as tho proposed action has been canvaeccd, the plan is to unite tho timber oporators In an agreement that thoy will not locate, or furnish information for lo cations, for less than flCO. Ono of tbo matters to comlder in whether or not that will include tho expeneo of going to and from tho land. Many favor this much concotslon to locators, but the trouble about that isthat tho remaining timber ia vory rcmotofrom thooporalinc points, Seattle, Tacoma, and Portland. Fifty dollars will not now cover tho cost of tho long trips, especially cast of tho Cascades, to that locators may expect to still pay tholr own expeneo;. A meeting of the Portland oporators has been under coneidoratlon for several days. The outlook ib that timber ecckors may expect to pay moro for their claims in the vory near futuro.
