Bad Outlook for Lumber.
"It's as I said a year ago it would
bo, thero has been an overproduction
of lumber In the Nortnwcst," These
woro tho words of Mr. David Eccles,
president of tho Oregon Lumbor Com
pany and tho Sumpter Valley railroad,
who has Just returned from1 Portland.
"Threo hundred new mills havo
boon added to tho list in tho past year
or so, and tho mills of tho Northwest
aro producing from 10,000,000 to IB,
000,000 foot more of lumber dally
than formerly. Naturally tho markets
beconio glutted, prices decreased bo-
low a profit, and today 250 mills on
tho Sound havo shut down. At tho
meeting in Tacoma on tho 5th of tho
Lumbor Association, is was reported
that unless now markets could bo
found, and tho railroads could glvo
somo relief In that direction, more '
mills would closo down and go Into tho
hands of receivers. Tho outlook in
tho lumbor business Is not very bright
and tho whole country will bo affect
ed. Now mills In Idaho and Eastern
Oregon aro cutting Into tho trado of
this part of tho country." Daker City
Domocrat.
Committee on Exporting.
Tho commltteo on exporting tho
financial records of tho city for tho

roport is dolayod Bomo by tho fact
that tho city treasuror kept no books

of tho treasuror was only $100 a year,
and ho felt that ho could not afford to,
koop books.

Dealers Trading AmoiigThem-
selves-Big Prices for
Contracts
Tho hop market continues strong,
and an activo demand for tho better
grades exists. Dealers havo orders
for goods that cannot bo filled, owing
to tho stiff prices asked by holders.
Twonty-nlno cents and bottor'has been
paid for Oregon hopa, and deals within
tho past fow wooks havo been made
at prlpos nearly that high for pooror
grades. All of tho recent deals havo
been mado In Portland, where 10,000
bales aro stored, and where trades aro
of daily occurrence. Oregon last year
produced tho enormous quantity of
nearly 90,000 bales, Tho Journal's lib
oral cstlraato of tho crop last July,
frownod down upon as bolng far too
great, having still fallon far below tho
actual production. Although but
90,000 bales wuro produced, sales
havo already been' recorded of qver
150,000 bales of Oiugon hops. This is
by reason of tho fact that many lots
havo changed hands sovoral times,
ono crop alono being sold 13 times
slnco It was shipped to tho warohouso
In Portland. Many nops aro constant
ly changing ownership among tho
dealors.
Contracts aro bplng mado In a fow
Instances at tho highest figures ovor
recorded In Orogon. As high a figure
as 22 conts has boon offered on con
tract within tho past fow days; but
growers generally aro rofralnlng from
contracting, cvon at theso high prices.
Tho Watervlllo (N. Y.) Times, in
Its report of tho condition of tho hop
market in that section of tho country,
says:
"Nothing doing, and nothing to do
with. Is about tho stato of affairs
horc. It Is said that 36c has been
offered for ono of tho fow lots loft in
this town, but no business rcsultod."
Tho Now York Journal and Bulle
tin of last Friday, in its roport on tho
condition of Uio hop market, says:
"Advices rccolvod from tho coast
continued to roport a firm markot, and
it was stated that additional sales of
choice grades Orogon woro mado at
29c. Tho local market continued
firm. No trading was roported be
tween dealors, but a limited amount
of businoss was transacted with
browors, and at full quotod pricoe."
HOME
FROM PUGET
SOUND
Mr. and Mrs. J. Connor, of Hotol
WlUamctto roturnod today from
several weeks spont on Puget Sound.
Thoy woro at Vancouver, Wostmin
stor, Victoria and othor placos. Ho
says Vancouver is tho Hvo town, has
40,000 pooplo, whoro 17 years ago
thero was not a slnglo houso.
Bolllngham Bay is a groat town, In
Mr. Connor's opinion. About 9000
men on tho payrolls aro tho eourco of
Its rapid growth and prosperity. The
opora house at Whatcom cost $125,000.
Thero aro flno hotels In all those
cities, and nil doing all tho business
thoy can. Of courso, Victoria glvos
ono the impression of being a foreign
town.
What Congress Is Doing.
Washington, Fob. 11. Tho sonato

seorotary of war to survey and roport
on the practicability of a tldo-water
anal across Florida, and appropriated
$26,000 for the purpose. The doors
were afterwards closed, and consid
ering of th canal treaty continued.
In the house the naval appropriation
bill wai reported, and then, in com
mittee of the whole, the house en
tered Into a further consideration of
the deficiency appropriation bill, In
cluding the St. Louis loan amend
ment Burkatt of Nebraska, vigor
ously apposed it, saying he would
rather put the amount Into public
buildings.
Own Plant 8aves City Much.
Boston, Feb. 11.-Dr. Samuel Ab
bott, of the state board of health, an
nounced today that by manufacturing
Its own antl-toxlae, the commonwealth
has saved the people $406,000 In four
years. The actual expense during
that time, when 10,000 bottlee of
antl-toxlne were distributed free, was
$31,500. These statistics have been
forwarded to Chicago, where It Is pro
posed to adopt tho Massachusetts
Idea, instead of purchasing supplies.
