Engineer Somo Apprehension , Tho teredo Is making troublo at tho Sluslaw as it has with piling In the lower bay of this harbor. The Florence West says: "Tho teredo navalls, or sea worm, which does so much damage to pil ing and wharves along tho coast, has begun work In tlio piling of tho Jetty nt tho mouth of tho Sluslaw. "Engineer Lcefo showed a section from one of the piles from which a largo portion of tho wood had been eaten by toredoes and tho strength of tho timber greatly Im paired. Thts ptlo was driven in tho Jetty In July or August, TU1-1. Sev eral other piles have been found within tho post fow days which are badly eaten. "Mr. Leofo vlows tho matter with a good "deal of apprehension, fear ing that tho worms will oxtond tholr ravnges thus making It necessary to replace tho piling or rebuild tho track frequently. This would mako Jetty construction expensive, besides endangering tho lives and property of thoao employed in tho work. Mr. Lcefo Is anxious to sco a largo quan tity of rock dolivorcd soon to mako things Hccuro agninst any mishap. Heretofore tho teredo has dona no serious damago on tho Sluslaw and It Is to ho hoped that this Immunity will continue. Bluff. "Hah!" sneered tho blustery maa "IllufT is tho thing.

Organized primarily to find work for tho unemployed in London It now finds thorn nro no nnomnloveil to find work for. Tho war, so far from ln-j creaBlng unemployment nnd pover ty, as wns generally anticipated when tho conflict began, has had tho con trary effect. "After nearly flfteon months of war," said Mr. Brlnsley Harper, pre siding nt a mooting of tho organiza tion, "thoro is not only no evidence of distress but there Is abundant evl donco of abnormally plentiful employ men and exceptionally high wagos. Nor do tho roports wo have rccolvcd indlcato that tho Increased cost of living has led to an lncrcaso of pov erty nnd destitution. A partlnl ex planation may bo found In tho fact that owing to tho great demand for Juvenllo labor young wage-carnors linvo been nhlo to supplement tho family Income to nn unprecedented oxtont." Under theso circumstances, Mr. Harper explained, it had been decid ed to close most of tho offices of tho organization and to retain only enough clerks to keep tho machinery nt tho head office going.

Keith of Kansas City, who is president of tho Central Coal nnd Coko company and also president of tho Southern Pino Association. Tho letter is published In tho Pioneer Westorn Lumberman of San Fran cisco. Parts of tho lotter follow: Gentlemen The lumber business lms been suffering for many reasons since July, 1913. This condition Iihb been accentuated and mado all tho harder by reason of tho declaration of war In July, 1911. Tho effect of tho financial string ency following tho declaration of wtir and tlio fear that existed by reason thereof throughout tho United States was practically to paralyzo all build ing operations for tlio year ending Mny, 191C. Conditions have changed. Wo find that tho consumption Of lumber Was greater In Juno than tho production. Comes Front Homo. , My observations nro that this vol umo of business Is not coming from export, which is cut off and which Is not moro than 3 per cent of tho to tal production whoro It Is normally 12 por cent. Our railroad demand is less than CO per cent of normal, which Is normally 30 por cent of our production nnd now not over 1G por cent. Consequently, thoao two sources which would ordinarily tnko 42 por cent of tho ontlro output of jellow plno nro now taking only 18 ESTIMATE OF WHEAT CROP HAS INCREASED Condition In United States Is Good Ah Shown In tho Govern- men Report Tho govornmout roport on tho present condition in tho United Stntcs of tho wheat crop, which Is an important ono In Oregon Is ns ' follows: Tho promised production of spring wheat increased during Soptombcr 22,000,000 bushels In tho Dakotas, slightly in Minnesota, and declined slightly in tho Western Stntcs. Tho total Increase of about 23,000,000 bushols Is sufficient to ralso tho es timate for total production of all wheat to over 1,000,000 bushols, tho record for tho United States. Tho prior record was established by tho crop of 891,000,000 bushols last year, tho average for recent years being in tho neighborhood of 700,000,000 bushols. Tho quality of spring wheat Is ro portod as 90.7 por cent against an averago of 87.G per cent, whoroas winter wheat quality was reported In August as 1.5 per cont bolow tho average. Spring wheat Is gonornlly heavy, particularly in Mlnnosota ami tho DakotaB, ovon whoro It was frost ed, but hi most States It Is off color and somewhat high In starch and low In gluten content. Tho quality Is fine to good In most of tho Western States oxcopt Colorado, tho grain bo Ing vory light and poor In tho latter State. PROTEST ENTERED PORTLAND LUSniERMEN OBJECT TO VALLEY BATE per cont of l, being short In that di rection 24 Her cont, nnd notwith standing this situation wo have u 118 ncr cent demand now. If our de mand was Uormal from theso two sources Just, mentioned today our de mtuiil would bo 142 por cont of tho production Instead of 118 por cent. Crops ';ill Help My further observations nro to tho effect thnt tho buying movement nt tho present tlmo Is a hand-to-mouth movement; thoro Is no speculative buying and stocks nro gcnorally sub rormal In tho yards of tho rotnllcrs. Wo aro harvesting our lnrgest bump er crop, which will naturally stlmu lato consumption on tho part of tho farmer and tho small country towns throughout tho United States. Wo find Hint building permits In tho lurgo cities nro Increasing. In Phil adelphia, for Instance, tho building permits of August wero greater thnn tho snmo month of any year since 190C. Kvpectn Advnnco All of tills Information tonds to bIiow that wo may expect a rapidly advancing lumber marital. As lum ber is not favorably nffected by war ordors and has boon Injured by ron son thereof, this situation Indicates n vory healthy condition of general business In tho United Stntcs. My personal bullof Is that wo nro onterlng Into a porlod of expansion in values and prosperity which will last for three or four years. BUSINESS TO FEEL WAR'S STIMULUS BASEBALL ENJPYED BY U. S.

Tho discoverer of diamonds Is un known. From references In Exodus It Is apparent that tho diamond was a precious stouo In Egypt In thoso early times, and even boforo thut It was known In India, where probably it was drat obtained. Tho name is derived closed. Then, when a few hours later tho animal becomes thirsty, all It hjj to do Is to open oue of the cells and allow the water to flow out Next day it opens ono or two more cells, and so It goes on day after day until tba wholo supply is exhausted. In thto cu rious way a camel cau Itro Ave or eTa six days without drinking at all, and so Is able to travel quite easily through tbo desert, where the wells are oftea hundreds of miles upart.
