Lumber operations in western Ore eon and western Washington con tinue to be hampered by the car short age that has prevailed for the last two or three months, and that seems to be growing worse instead of bet ter, according to the weekly sum mary issued by the West Coast Lum bermen's association. A number of mills are out of the market entirely, ' It Is stated, because they cannot get enough cars to ship the orders already on the books, and others are closed down. This latter circumstance re duced production at the 125 mills con tributing to the association's report last week to 76.819.215 feet, which was 11.67 per cent below normal. The trade is clamoring for lumber for all kinds of building and con struction purposes, the report con tinues, but despite the withdrawal of many mills from the market, orders booked by association mills for the week aggregated 90.479,722 feet, or ders being 13,660,507 feet above production. On account of the scarcity of equip ment, shipments for the week were re duced to 60,122.984 feet, of which 8,193.528 feet were moved in the do mestic cargo trade, 5,297,717 feet were exported and 3,911,739 feet de livered locally. The balance of 42.720, 000 feet, or 1424 cars, was moved by rail. 2387 Cars More Ordered. But at the same time the mills ac cepted orders for 2387 cars of new business, bringing the total volume of undelivered rail orders at these 125 operations up to. 12,779 cars, or 383, 870.000 feet. This, with an unshipped balance of 79,666.000 feet in the domestic cargo trade and 20,922,000 feet in, the export trade gives the group of 125 mills contributing to last week's Report a total of 484.969.000 feet of unshipped business. With the chronic scarcity of shipping and the continued scarcity of cars this figure threatens to grow.

FHERAl HELD FOR PORT- LAND BUSINESS MAX. 5 NOSE CLOGGED FROM A COLD OR CATARRH Apply Cream in Nostrils To Open Up Air Passages. if jH 1 if - I F - KEHL, Germany, Nov. 17. When Premier Clemenceau visited Kehl the other day he walked rapidly to the end of the great bridge which crosses the Rhine to Strasburg, winked gaily at the gallic cock that replaces the Prussian eagle on the top of the bridge and then turned to face a battery of photographers and moving picture men. "Go ahead, snap away, but don't forget that you must include that old bird up there in the picture," he said to the camera men. Leaning over the railing he noticed a big pile of coal on the pier below and pointed it out to M. Claveille, the minister of railways, saying to him: Don t let me hear another com plaint from the Parisians about the ack of coal." M. Claveille's reply- could not be heard, but evidently it was not satis factory for, addressing the newspaper men, the premier shouted: Boys, send a telegram to your newspapers In Paris something like this: Plenty of coal In Kehl, but Claveille will not transport it.' " Returning to the waiting automo biles through the muddy main street ined with low houses from behind the curtained windows of which faces peered curiously, Clemenceau caught ight of three frock-coated men stand- ng top hats in hand in the driving rail: "Who are these people?" asked Premier Clemenceau. He was in formed that they were the German mayor of the city and his two aides. They advanced toward him and the premier stopped. The German mayor. after excusing himself for his faulty French said: "I hope you have had an enjoyable stay and will have a pleasant Journey." Noting that they were still un covered, Clemenceau said; somewhat gruffly, "put on your hats. Then he hesitated for a moment, looked about him. finally beckoned to the three Germans to come to him and replied with punctilious but dry politeness: "I thank you for your good wishes." Then he made as if to go out. Im pulsively as if overcoming a strong resolution, he extended his hand which the three Germans took and, bowing deeply, they withdrew. Ah! What relief! Tour clogged nos trils open right up, the air passages of your head are clear and you can breathe freely.

UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eu gene, Dec. 6. (Special.) Harold J. Newton, graduate of the school . of journalism in the class of 1919, now teaching English in a college in Osaka, Japan, in a letter received at the school here tell3 how he got a close-up view of the emperor of Ja pan in a recent military review, though he missed the crown prince by having to bow too low when the young heir to the throne went past. xne emperor,- ne writes, "was kind enough to give us a sort of a pleasant stare." He and one other American were the only foreigners at the review. Tht letter, written November la, says: Yesterday 1 saw the emperor and th crown prince, it coat me and my foreign menu conaiaeraoie irouote to set a peep at them, but they were good peeps, be cause w could easily have reached out ana toucnea tn emperor with our canes. we maae our way out to a small vil lage near where the emperor reviewed a division of the Japanese army. It innli about five seconds to write that sentence, but it took hours going to and from that village. The result came after two hours of waiting when an officer yelled "Hats on: ana the is-year-old crown prince rode by on horseback. No shouting was allowed; we bowed our heads. I bowed so blamed low I didn't get a look at the prince until after he had passed on a few yards. The emperor, riding in a carriage, came along 15 minutes later. My companion and I decided not to bow so low this time. as me imperial carriage neared us r no ticed his majesty was leaning away over toward our side of the street. We slightly bowed our heads, but not enough to hin der us from looking him squarely In the eye. He was kind enough to give us sort of a pleasant stare. I am told that the emperor has a kindly feeling toward Americans, and as I am Quite certain we were the only foreigners along the path of the royal procession, I think his majesty wanted to pay us the honor of giving us a good look. Perhaps he regarded our fail ure to bow as typically American. One thing sure. I'll never find out what was in his mind. Iadies see M. Sichel's ad. page 5. -Adv. Mrs. Calkins' Tea Aids Fund.
