The building activity has not reached its height, nor will it until the saw mills are in a position to furnish lumber as fast as it is required.The breaking of the log boom at Simpson's mi'.l on tin* North Fork and consequent loss of logs has been a serious drawback on the lumber market, but the mill has been moved to Mr. Newby's place at the foot of Hardy mountain, and will he running in full force in a very few days. Adjacent to the mill is over a million feet of timber standing, andwhen the work of converting this into lumber is commenced, the stringency in the lumber market will be over.Spraggett’s mill commenced operations again last Monday, after having been shut down for two weeks because of repairs necessitated by the breaking of a wheel which could not bo fixed here but had to he sent to Spokane. Sprag-gct's mill has orders ahead for half a million feet of lumber and tho orders are being tilled as fast as tlrstclass mill machinery can turn out the lumber,Dr. (J. W.

A. Aikman, is as follows: For mayor, John A. Manly and Peter T. McOallum. For aldermen, W. K. C. Manly, P. J. Davis, J. K. John-son, W. G. Uepworth, J, II. Featherston, Lloyd A. Manly and Ldmund Duford. six aldermen are to be chosen and seven nominations have teen made, so that one aspirant will be left out n the cold.The Lumber Combine.A lumber combine bus been oll’eotod between the Spraggett and Simpson saw mills and hereafter the entire output of both will bo handled by A. G. Beals of the firm of Beals Bros, of Tillamook, Oregon. Mr. Beals lias contract ed to take all the lumber manufactured by both mills for a year and lias opened an office in Dr. Avorill’s now building, corner of Bridge street and Riverside Avenue.It is not tho object of the combine to raise the price of lumber, for the prices which prevailed before tho new deal was made will continue in force. The fact is that the new plan will be a convenience to both the null men and tho lumber buyers. The mills will now run steady and their owners, not having to attend to taking urdera and figuring on buildings can devote ttieir entire time and personal attention to tho manufacture of lumber and the result will be anincreased and steady output. Then too, the workmen in the mills know where their money is coming from and that it will come regularly on pay day.On the other hand the purchasers of lumber have but to call at Mr. Beals’ office on the principal corner of the city to have their wants promptly and properly attended to. Mr Beals has had wide experience in the lumber business and his patrons will protit by it.MRS. JOHN A.
