Canadian Forest Products Come Into United States Duty Free to Detriment of .Industry, SEATTLE. Wash.. Aug. 10 iSpe- clal.) Scarcity of cars has struck a hard blow at Blaine. Four of the five shingle mills In the border town have been forced to close on account of lack of cars and the fifth has been able to obtain only a fraction of Its needs. Meanwhile Great Northern cars are going Into Canada and from 10 to 20 carloads -of Canadian forest products are passing through Blaine into the United States duty free to the detriment of Industry in Whatcom county. Such, In substance, Is the statement made by Barney W. Moore, a pioneeer shingle man of Blaine and head of the Borden Shingle company. The four mills forced to close are the United Shingle company, the Blaine Manufacturing company,' the North Bluff Shingle company and the Borden Shingle company. The Mor rison mill is still operating, Mr. Moore says that In 24 days his mill received two empty cars. An average of 15 to 20 empties, he esti mates, are going across the border dally, where the Great Northern has to compete with Canadian .roads. Other plants at Blaine are In the same situation as the Border company, Mr. Moore says, and the result is that from 7,000,000 to 9.000,000 shingles are piled up in the yards because of lack of cars in which to ship them. The demand is good, but shipping facili ties are not obtainable.

UNGAR. There are - so many species of squirrels and "near squirrels" climb ing trees, cracking nuts and "meow ins:" in all parts of the world, that Milady's squirrel coat, when bought in an unreliable store Is Indeed a mystery. Ths fur of the American squirrel Is of no greater value than that of the common houBe cat, and yet even the latter is used -to Imitate the genuine. The species that are valuable come from Russia and Siberia, those from the Amoor district in eastern Siberia being the finest. These are known as Saccamania squirrels. The second class is known as xa kutsky squirrels, which are divided into two kinds. Then come the Lensky squirrels in four assortments accord ing to color. Next the Yenlselky class, in three grades. Then Obskoy Beisky. Kasan and so on down the line to poor old "Tabby" or "Tommy." The full meaning of this Is that you must depend entirely upon the lnteg rity of your dealer for honest, value at whatever price you pay. Suppose, for Instance, you pay for Saccamania and get Takutsky, or even Lensky who knows, but the dealer?. Most people do not have suf ficient time these busy days to even stop to leatn the pronunciation of the various names, much less their rela tive value. And what if they DID know the entire list? The dealer who. plans to Increase his profits by substitution would Just as soon tell you the piece in your hand was first grade Yakutsky, even though it be but fourth grade Lensky, knowing that none but an experienced furrier could catch him In the lie. It is vitally Important, too, to re member that the greatest field for deceit is In the cl&s that Is most In demand the good medium grade. - BEWARE OF THE WOLF IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING.
