Strained nLitns D"twea Lersrers

Loggers are tying np lors and shut
ting don carai rather than cut the
price, and as sawmills cannot rtit at
the price of logs with profit, the. mills
are closing, giving as an excuse "clos
ing for repairs." Meanwhile. th Cal.
iforii'a demand for lumber Is being
supplied on Pum Sound and Grays
Harbor, where the buyers can eet the
lumber It to J2 cheaper, says a Pen
dWion enhacze.
Milla In Portland which have been
workina dar and nlcht hare lsi.l nff
the nieht crews and ar vrnrktnp
three-fourths 'time, walle milla along
tne tolumbia are closing. The altua
tlcn between the logging companies
and the sawmills Is strained, each
pjaririz a wa;t:ng ganie. bat as the
loggers represent milliocs it dollars.
they are In a position to maintain
their stand indefinitely.
The sawmill men ay there Is a
ccmbiDe among the loggers to main
tain prices. The price of logs has
been 17, $10 and $13 for many months,
and this the mills could pay, as there
was still a margin of profit, but late
ly the price of lumber has gone down,
wiping outUhe margid for the mill
men, until now the average price of
logs is higher than the average price
of lumber on the Columbia and Wil
lamette rivers. In the circumstances
the millmen have been forced to abut
dowp their plant or at least reduce
their forces. The explanation given
by the sawmlliera la that they are
closing for repairs. Some of the mills,
however, have not closed for a long
time, one is now cloainw for th flrat
time In five years. ; ' -
The Loop Lumber Company, of San
Francisco, whlc bad four boats ply
ing between California and the Colum
bia Rivar, has withdrawn three ships
from this ran and is sending them to
Paget Sound. The fourth boat is also
going to Puget Sound every alternate
trip. : This trade has left the Columbia
River because the lumber can be
bought cheaper. At least, this is the
contention of the millmen, who want
the price of logs reduced, saying that
the reason Puget Sound can under
sell the Columbia river is that the
price of logs is lower. ,
Logging companies have fielled theU
boom-sticks, . one logging company
having 7,000,000 feet, and are waiting
until the sawmills are ready to buy
and resume business. ' '
