THE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, JULY SI, 1920 It LONG-BELL-LUMBER OFFICIALS ARE HERE Development of Holdings in Oregon to Be Topic. CONFERENCE IS SLATED disposal of Several Options Xow Held by Kastern Com pan y WIU Be Discussed. Official of the Long-Bell Lumber company of Kansas City, Mo., said to be the largest lumber producing: com pany in the world, arrived last night in Portland to confer on the develop ment of their extensive timber hold ings in Oregon. J. D. Tennant, vice president of the company, with his family, came overland from Kansas City by automobile. A staff of corr sulting engineers and timber experts of the company arrived to await the president of the Long-Bell company, C A. Long, who is expected this afternoon. A conference of the officials of the company is scheduled for tomorrow morning, when the work done by the experts who have been making ex tensive investigations of all available mill sites along the Colqinbia will be gone over in detail and the dis posal of several options on large tracts that are now pending will be considered. Tracts Bought In Oregon. . The Long-Bell company has been Inventing in Oregon timber since 191S. when it acquired $7,000 acres of land north of Klamath Falls containing 1,700,000,000 feet of pine, from the Oregon Land & Livestock company, an allied corporation of the Booth Kelly company of Eugene. This was followed In April of that year by the buying of a tract comprising 41,000 acres containing 600,000.000 feet of pine from the Western Pacific Land & Timber company in Klamath and Lake counties. The aggregate amount expended in these two deals exceeded .J5.000.000. Last spring the company made its first investment in fir timber when it bought a tract of land on the Cow litz river watershed comprising .more than 2.000.000,000 feet. Since that time expert timber men in the em ploy of the company have been inves tigating other tracts in the Cowlita region, and several options are now in the hands of the company. It' is to consider these options and the mill sitea visited by the engineers of the company that the conference has been called in Portland. This will be the first experience with fir that the company has un dertaken, according to Mr. Tennant. The combined qutput of the pine mills of the company in the east totals BOO. 0011, 000 feet a year, and it is ex pected to bring up the Pacific coast production to that figure when the fir operations are under way, he said. TheVompany has a mill in operation at Weed. Cal., which is turning out pine lumber at the rate of 100.000,000 feet annually. E. H. Cox. president of the Weed plant, arrived in Port land yesterday for the conference. Mr. Tennant stated definitely that there would be no building or other activity In connection with the direct . production of lumber here until next year. Officials of the company who will attend the conference are: W. Van-! dercook. chief engineer; C. H. Huff man, consulting engineer; L. L. Chip-r man, manager of the export depart ment and W. F. Ryder, expert tim-krman, now and duplicate in two or three weeks when they can get a reduc tion," he said. HOUSE IS ROBBED TWICE Thief Seen Making Escape, Driving Off in Automobile.

I take It very easily. When I sent to you for a bottle of Santiseptic Lotion, I had had poison oak for five months. 1 commenced using Santiseptic as soon as I got It and kept working In the poison oak. I am now entirely cured, and, believe me. it certainly takes something to even help me. I had and have tried everything I or anybody else ever heard of. includ ing all kinds of guaranteed remedies. Just simply time and money wasted, gaatiscptio certainly did. the work." Anybody who has ever experienced the torture of poison oak or ivy will be grateful for the Information that this extreme irritating annoyance is no longer to be feared. The pain, itching, fever and irritation disappear almost like magio with a few appli cations of Santiseptic. Santiseptic heals and prevents other skin irri tations, euch as sunburn, windburn. chafing, fever and cold sores and in sect bites. It is a remarkable sooth ing and healing lotion. Men use it after shaving and the women for the complexion and for baby's skin. Santiseptio is easily procured at most drugstores and toilet goods counters aud costs but 50 cents. Ad v.
