Washington Saw Mills Advance Prices to Same Basis as Yhose of the Oregon Association. The Increase is from one to Three Dollars Per Thousand feet. Changes in the list advancing lumber from $1 to $3 per thousand have been authorized, according to a prominent of ficial of the Pacific Coast Lumber Manu facturers' association, who stated to The LeJger Monday that an advance will be made by both the Pacific Coast and the Southwestern Washington Lumber Manufacturers' association. This ad vance will put Western Washington lumber on the same basis as the Oregon list, "The advance decided upon by the committee on values," said he "is en tirely on common lumber and, I undei stand will not effect the upper grades, such as flooring, drop-siding and the like, at all. Conditions warrant thi« change in the list, which simply puts the list of the two Western Washington associations o.l'the same footing with the Oieiron associati >n. "Perhaps one of the most notable changes made is in common boards, which are advanced £1 per thousand. This brings them to $12, a p-ice considerably diffetent from that of a year or a year and a half ago. Dimension andjjti 111 tiers will both be advanced Timbers up to 40 feet, in lengh will go up $1, timbers from 40 to GJ feet in length $2. and tim over (10 feet in length $3. .These are the 111 jst notable advances. "This increased price forjeommon lum ber is chiefly in anticipation of the gieat amount of railroad building certain to be under way in the Pacific Northwest. A year ago lailroad ties could be had for about if 5.50. Now ties are worth about 18. Stringers have been selling this fall at about $9 50 Comrao.i dimension a year ago was on a basis of $5, and pretty freely offered at that figuro. This fall it has sold at #8. Car tills were worth |8 50, and lately have been bringing about *15. Slash grain car siding* was bringing about $15 or andjjis now listed at $2-', and No. 2 flooring is selling for i'/.1, whereas it was worth about $10.50 a year ago. "No year ever opened with a brighter outlook for Washington's greatest indus try—the making of lumber—than will 19,)6. There is an enormous demand coming in for all kinds of lumber from all parts of the country, and there isn't a sawmill but that has orders on its hofks snlli 'ie it to keep it hiistlingjifor the next thirty to sixty and ninety days if it did not get another order in that time. "Conditions which are true of Wash ington, however, are true with the lum ber industry all over the country. Ev erywhere the mills are reporting an enor mous demand, prices are stiff and the outlook wonderfully bright."—Tacoma Ledger. W. F. Haily, P. O. True, Texaß, writes: "My wife had been suffering five years with paralysis in her arm, when I was persuaded to use Hallard's Snow Lini ment, which cured her all right.

In the campaign of 1900 Sobively was chairman of the republican state central committee, and when the campaign was over he was given the oilice of deputy insurance commissioner as a reward for his service to the party. A life insuiance newspaper published in New York recently printed the follow ing letter from an agent in Seattle: .Seattle, Auk. 14, 1905. T'ife Insurance Company: Gentlemen: I have been requested by the deputy insuiance commissioner of this state, that it is the cum torn of ttieir office to select two companies each year, transacting business in this state, to re quest this department to make an official examination of ttie companies selected, lie said that if this request was made all that would be done is to visit the home offices of the companies and dine with the officials. This would enable tnem to officially state that they had made an examination, and eulogize, the manage ment.. All tliis will cost is $3UO for each company. The companies selected at this time are the and the . He also informs me that if this done in this way it will cost the company much less than to make an examination in fact. They desire to receive your invitation po that they may leave here Sept. 20. I write the above at the reqne t of J. H. Schively, deputy insurance commis sioner without comments. Agent When the attention of the deputy com missioner was called to this letter Mr. Schivelv did not deny the m itter, except to say that the talk about a dinner was a joke. Continuing he said : "It has been the custom of this orti e for some time to pick out several insu - J ance companies each year, examine their securities, and ascertan if they were do ing business incompliance with the laws jof this state. For this the cotnpani* b ,have paid, and the charge lias been $3)0 j each. To make a regular examination I of the Woodmen of the World two years 1 ago, and the cost to them was hut $200, ' because there were several companies ! among which to pro rate the expense. "This year we deei led to look at the bonds of the Pern Mutual ot Philadel phia, and the Mutual Benefit I.ife of Newark, N. J., and the charge against them would have been *300 each.
