LUMBER PRODUGTS 10 BE BOOSTED
Union county lumbermen, and, for
that matter, all Eastern Oregon mill
owners and managers, look forward
with interes to the movement to init
iate a campaign covering the entire
lumber industry in the northwest apd
Canada. Problems both peculiarly lo
cal and of general interest will come
up, and a movement to rehabiliate the
lumber business will come up. Con
cerning this all important step, the
lions will Darticioate. including the re
tail representatives. 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. In this way for once in
the history of the great lumber indust
ry of the Pacific Coast, it will be pos-

day comparatively few manufactur
ers have a knowledge of tha aetual
conditions surrounding the stumpage:
logging and manufacturing costs etf
ibting in the redwood, fir and pine pro
ducing sections of the great "West.
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

j George M. 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.

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

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.

Perfect Lenses?
Improvements and better
ments in glasses are just as
frequent as in. anything else.
'Until a few years. ago all
lenses were flat, because no

way to make them.
Today nearly 90 ner cent of
, lenses fitted are Toric lenses,
