MILL TRADE BRIGHTER IMPROVEMENT IS SHOWN IN LUMBER DEMAND. National Manufacturers Association Secure Reports From 745 Mills In 25 States. TACOMA. Wash- Dec, 7. (Special.) The official report 'of the National Lumber Manufacturer Association for October. Just Issued by Manager Leon ard Bronson. of Tacoma. shows a slight Improvement In the general lumber de mand and a alight excess of shipments over the cut In Washington and Ore gon, ao far aa the mills reporting ars concerned. The October report la the most rep reaentatlve yet laaued under the aaao clatlon'a new publicity scheme, T4S mtlla being heard from, representing It states, an Improvement of nearly 100 mills and of two states over Septem ber. The mills reporting represented a territory producing 111. 000.000 feet of lumber during October. In general. It was shown from the report that an Increase of nearly I per cent In ship ments over cut was made. Some of the Eastern states, however, seem to have abandoned their conservative systems of cutting, and the report for these atatea ahowa a gain In cut over ship ments. The lumber situation In the Pacific Northwest, according to the report was In slightly better shape during October than In September, the mills reporting from Washington and Oregon particu larly ahowtng a slight excess of ship ments over cut. due to the policy of curtailment adopted. In some cases Manager Bronson states that the mills sre still producing far more than the demand, and consequently no Improve ment In prices can be expected until they, too, adopt the curtailment policy. California mills reporting show an excess of cut for October over Septem ber, but this Is becauae the Winter stock Is being laid In. as many of the Interior mills close down for Winter.

THRESHERS HEAR ADDRESS HIM Line President at Salem Con vention Also Declares Oregon Most Fear East, Not West, as Rival for Settlers. SALEM. Or., Dec 7. (Special.) De claring that the railroads are only awaiting co-operation and progress on the' part of the publlo before penetrat ing further into Central Oregon, Carl R. Gray, president of the Hill lines In the -Northwest, addressing the 6tate Threshermen's Association, which Is holding its third annual convention In this city today, said that most of the differences between the transportation companies and the public have been duo to mlaconceptton of each other's viewpoint. He decried the startling decrease In the wheat production of the United States, ss shown by comparative state ments for the past few years, and as serted that It promised that the wheat output would disappear altogether within 'a few years unless radical change is effected. Emmt Rival for Settlers. That Oregon needs to fear the Esst rather than the West In competition for settlers was another assertion made by President Orsy. "Canada today is not as strong an aspirant for settlers ss the State of New York." he said. "In thst state they sre establishing agri cultural schools In every county. It Is not a case of beating the drum In Oregon so much aa it is securing the settlers and showing them how to at tain the highest development of the soli, by close and Intimate advice. "Since coming to Oregon I have felt the need of agricultural education here more than any one thing. The nation of Denmark could be placed In the counties of Harney and Crook, yet In Denmark there are more than 60 ag ricultural colleges and schools." Touching on the Immensity of Cen tral Oregon, which he prophesied would be the granary of the stste. he said that before the Oregon Trunk was built Into that rea-lon all Ohio could have been placed within its borders and then not a railroad would have touched It. More than 100 delegatea are attend ing the convention of the threshermen and more are arriving. The session today wss devoted principally to the reading of papers. West Side Locks Favored. A resolution waa adopted favoring the west side route for the Willamette locks. It resd: Whereas. An open Willamette River will be of Inestimable benefit to the State of Oregon and will, afford a reduction In the freight rates which now prevail in the Wil lamette Valley. Whereas. To accomplish an open river. It Is neeeeeary for the United Stalae Govern ment to operate a canal system of locks at Oregoie City. At present there exists in Oregon City a canal on the west side of tne rtver. amply surticiem in sise to nanaie the traffic which has been offered by the owners to the Oovernment for $4A0,0G0. There has also been surveyed a propos.d canal on the opposite side of the river which will cost S750.O0O. without considering the amount to be pstd for damages to milling property and riparian rights, claims for whlrh have beea filed to the amount of I2.ooo.0on. Believing that the east-side project Is fraught with legal entangiem.nts which will delay a free canal for years and thus con tinue the burden of freight rates longer tban should be the case. t. it Raenlved by the State Threshermen's Ae eorlatlon In convention assembled that the State Canal Board Insist upon Its recom mendation of the purchase of the west side canal and that the f.100.000 contributed by the state be turned over to the Government at the earliest possible moment for the pur chase of the w.st side canal; and be It further Keeolved. That thle association looks with doubt upon the east side project, for the reason that It will delay and may end In the loss of the project slm.d to relieve the grain-reiser of an unnecessary burden. West Speaks br Proxy. The convention opened with a prayer by Dr. R. H. Avlson. pastor of the First Methodist Church, of Salem. Phil S. Bates, of Portland, acted as chair man, and Marshall N. Dana, of Port land, as representative of Governor West, delivered the addresa of wel come. Ha said that In 110. threshers of Oregon threshed more than 15.000,000 bushels of wheat and In 1911. 1. 800, 000 bushels, and In 111 more than 10.000, 000 bushels Is promised. Next year, he said, the good roads of Oregon will have expended upon them more than 98,000. 000. Only one-sixth of the 10.000.000 acres of high-class agricultural lands In the state Is properly developed, he said. William H. Fletcher, president of the assoclstlon. responded, declaring that the association was not formed as a trust to rob anyone, but rather as an educational medium for the thresher- man and to Instil In the thresherman that be should aecure a reasonable price for his services. He suggested proposed Isws which will be agitated by the association, among them being statutes to give the threshermen better rights In the roads, as well as better roads and brl,-es. and the repeal of certain laws which are practically Impossible for the thresherman to abide by. - F. Q. Deckebach, of the Salem Board of Trade, extended the welcome of that body and the response was by J. D. Pugh, of Shedds. chairman of the execu tive committee of the assoclstlon. John F. Carroll, of Portland, read a paper on parcels post and good roads. He prophesied that It is a question of not such a great time before the tele graph companies will be controlled by the Government, and made forecast of an early adoption of the parcels post plan. Flax IMsitry I opc A. A. Moss, of the general freight de partment of the Harrlman lines, spoks relative to the flax Industry, which hs said would be built up In the Willam ette Valley. He declared If a plan broached In Portland conies to a head It will only be a short time before a 1160.000 plant will be built In this vi cinity. He said fax in Oregon Is the finest obtainable and that the straw will sell for from lis to 112.60 a ton. Thousands of tons can be grown In the valley, never using the same land mora than once In five years, he also de clared, and ssld that the production of fruit In Oregon, good fruit, could not be overdone In the next 60 years.

(Special.) That Edward H. Martin, murderer of Nathan Wolf. In Portland, has not so far recovered from being the victim oi a drug habit as his psst statements would Indicate. Is practically admitted by prison authorities, who said today that, while absolute proof of Martin having used drugs since coming to the prison has not been forthcoming, never theless on two or three occasions his actions, demeanor and general appear ance have indicated strongly that he has had drugs and has used them since being placed in prison. That It Is practically an impossibility to uproot the custom of trusties bring ing Inside of the prison walls drugs such as "hop." morphine and varied kinds of "dope Is another admission made. "For years we have conducted a campaign against this evil," stated Su perintendent James today. "We have no actual knowledge that drugs are brought Into the prison. In fact we have discovered no one carrying It In among the trusties. But at times we have had strong suspicions that drugs have been coming from somewhere." Recently Mrs. Carrie Kersh was at tacked suddenly with a fit of sickness and recovered In a short time. It was rumored at the time that she had also been using a drug, but actual truth of that assertion could not be proved, al though It was the Impression that gen erally gained ground about the prison. The rumor that Martin would soon receive a parole was set at rest by members of the parole board today, who asid that there waa no Intention of giving him one. Lettera received from his parents In the East ask that he be not allowed to leave the prison until such time ss he Is entirely free from the drug habit. Martin's minimum sentence expired about a year and one half ago. He was sentenced to serve from one to 15 years. PENDLETON SEEKS HONOR Xext Trl-State Convention of Farm ers' Cnion Is Wanted.

But the many improvements developed in the Autopiano have relegated the other instruments far to the rear. There are now more than twice as many Autopianos sold than all other makes of Player Pianos combined. WE HAD TO CHOOSE tretween the Autopiano and the instrument made by the combine. We should have been guilty of faithlessness to the interests of the thousands of people who buy of us annually; the people who repose confidence in us, if we had not decided in favor of the Autopiano. WE ARE NOW DETERMINED to get rid of all Pianola Pianos, no matter what the sacrifice. The injunction secured by the combine recently, whereby it was intended to compel us to adhere to certain big retail prices, has been so modi fied that we have the right to sell Pianola Pianos at any price we see fit, provided we offer them as "second-hand." Thus it is that Pianola Pianos that have never been used, and are the latest improved types, are ticketed in our salesroom as "second-hand." ? Pianola Pianos at the reduced prices, as heretofore advertised, on payments of $8 down and $8 a month. Remember there are no extras. Rent a Pianola Piano at $8 a month, and, if at any time within a year, you determine to buy it we will allow all rent paid toward purchase price. Nothing could be fairer nothing more liberal On this basis we ought to dispose of every Pianola Piano in our establishment before the Holidays.
