A program has been prepared in which representa tives of fir. nine and redwood produc tion will discusss trade conditions from their viewpoint, touching upon the salient Doints. in turn to be follow ed by short talks by representatives of other woods.

This is a great big country of diversi fied timber resources, yet having a common market for its product. Let us get acquainted, map out tho campaign for 1916 and future years and move intelligently toward securjn a better knowledge of the needs of the consumer and thus see if it is not pos sible to solve the problem of more inj telligent distribution and secure a fa!r prlpo fi lumber, not in one year, but ?v?ry yer.

Cornwall, goes on to ex plain: The West Coast Lumbermen's Ass ociation has gotten back of the move- ment initiated by The Timberman for the purpose of holding.' a lumber con ference covering entire lumber manu factory interests of the Pacific CoaBt, including the states of Montana, ldeh.0- Waahinton, Oregon, California and tn Tovlnce of British Columbia. Invitations are being extended .through Secretary Babcock to the members of every lumber, shingle, door box and logging association, through their organizations to journey to Portland and discuss matters of int erest to the partw!v branch of the "industry in which they are engaged, ; The plan as briefly outlined by Sec retary Babcock is or each delegation or group to meet separately in their , own committee rooms and thresh out the particular problems in whidi tfcey are vitally -concerned.without waste of time or needless participation in some discussion in which they have little or no concern. A meeting of the West Coast Lum Wmen's Association will be held dur ing the conference and representa tives of all the lumbr producing sec- intinn has assured the movement of his active co-operation and will look after the interests of the pine manufactur ers at the conference. Secretary Porter, of the Western (Retail LumDermens' association will present a most attractive program which will be found elsewhere in this issue of the Timberman. The attend ance oromises to be a record breaker. There is nothing like securing first hand information. You, as a manu facturer, ought to know as many of the me.i who distribute your proiuct as possible. Perhaps you might have aMnes3age for him on the subject of short Ur.iihts, odd lenghts or some oth er subject. He in turn wiBhes o k.iow all he can about the market an I the viewpoint of the manufacturer on many questions. While each branch of the industry will hold it's own committee mea'.i.ig.i, a zeneral meeting will be hnli in which the manufacturers and ricail:rs will meet in ''o nt conference. . It is the hope of the Timberman that as a result of the West Coast Conference a nucleus may be formed for an annual conference of Pacific Coast manufactures and at least a skeleton organization formed for the dissemination of information regard ing the industry in every section of the Pacific Coast, which has an an nual output normally approximating ten billion feet: twenty-five per cent of the entire production of the Un ited States. The Pacific slope is des tined to become tihe greatest lumber producing section of the country. Let us eat and camp together for a few days each year. Close acquain tance and affiliation is the true basis of helpful, constructive association work. Suppose at this conference it should be decided to start a movement for a uniform accounting system? Trade Commissioner Hurley says he be lieves the first and most important step to place the industry on a per manent "war footing" is to know and to know absolutely, tihe cost of pro duction. If the conference does else but start a movement of this or any other similar character, its .results might be f?a" reaching and the bene fits untold.

CHERRY'S NEW lAUNDRY W. ). S. 1915 Previous Wool Handling Boston, Feb. 24. All previous re cords for the amount of wool handl ed on this country were broken in 1915, according to the textile records just compiled here and when tihe final statistics become available it probably will be shown that Boston has super- sooea Lonaon as tne world's largest single wool market. London sel dom sells more than a million bales 'annually, or not much in excess of 350,000,000 nounds. and the corrected figures for 1915 probably will disclose a smaller amount. Imnorts to the United States based upon Quantities. aggregated iMU.blu.OUZ pounds and though the final Government import statistics may modify this somewhat, they are a close approximation. Ad ded to the domestic clip for the season they give a grand total of more than ouo.OUO.OOO pounds. The fitrures de monstrating Boston's importance as a wool mart are based upon statistics of receipts compiled bv the Boston Chamber of Commerce. The total figure for Boston is 393,110,391 pounds, which represents Boston's wool sales for the year. This is an excess of the quantity of wool handl ed in any other city. For Children's Cough.
