ALLEN GOES TO
PROTEST AGAINST
LUMBER TARIFFS
Dissatisfaction of members of the
K'est Coajft Lumbermen's association
With existing and proposed freight
rates on lumber -will be voiced b
Robert B. Allen, Becretary of the
association, at a meeting of traffic
officials of . tranftcontinental rail
lines In session at Chicago.
Proposed reductions of 7 cents per 100
pounds on shipments of lumber from the
Northwest to points aa far east as Chi
cago are inadequate, according to Allen,
who left here for Chicago Thursday
niKht.
West Coast lumbermen demand the re
establishment of competitive rate rela
tions existing prior to August 26 be
tween the lumbermen of the Northwest
and the mills of the Southern pine ter
ritory. According to- .Secretary Allen,
the association is prepared to submit its
contention w the Interstate Commerce
commission at Washington if railroad
officials fail to make a satisfactory ad
justment. The freight tariff In effect provides a
differential of J8.75 per thousand feet
on lumber shipments to Omaha and ad
jacent territory between producers in
the two competing sections. The differ
ential to Les Moines, Iowa, is $3. CO
per 1000- feet : to St. Louis, $11.68 ; to
Chicago, 9.50; Detroit, 111.15; New
York, .112.11, and Philadelphia. $13.13.
Because of these differences in, freight
rates between the shippers of the North
west and the Southeast, the mills of
the. West Coaat association have been
obliRed to surrender a large volume of
business handled in Kastern territory
prior to August 26, 1920, when existing
rates became effective.
The proposed reduction of 7 cents per
hundred would reduce the differential
to Chicago to $7.75, Omaha to $7 and
other pointqf in like proportion. Of
ficials of the West Coast Lumbermen's
association stated today that every ef
fort will be made to procure reestabllsh
ment of rates on lumber as 'effective
prior to August 26.

WIFE WINS
HUSBAND'S
CONSENT
"Bill. I'm almost ashamed to be
seen with you in those awful togs."
Kill's wife was indulging In the
unpleasant t isk of convincing her
husband that he should be dressed
up that his suit of four years ago
was beginning to look shabby and
'er that clothes make the man, etc.
Bill listened inattentively. "What's
the pood. Helen, of my trying to be
a dude? I cant afford clothes for
all of us. and I much prefer.that you
should be dressed up. You just
bought a new plush coat, and that's
enough class in the family for the
time being."
His wife beamed. "Do you really
think it's classy? Let me tell you a
little secret about that coat. I got It
at Cherry's for $29.50. They've been
getting $50 for them, and its worth
every cent of it. Well, even $29.50
was more than I had. so I paid a
small amount down and the balance
will come but of my allowance as I
can afford it. And, Bill, you can get
yourself a suit the same way. Why
not enjoy your clothes while you're
paying for them? They have a store
at 391 Washington street and so long
as you don't have to pay cash, won't
you go down and get outfitted, too?"
"All right, t Helen. Under those
conditions 1 will. At that rate 1 can
take a chance on keeping step with
you." Adv. . .

trouble to understand the significance of
a disease carrier," Dr. Parrish said.
