TH .n HOME TOWN Jty Stanley SiiJS FpraM ovru OFFICE CAT It TKAOt MASK urn 'j.'li'.H, mm warn BY JUNIUS W. L. Thompsons Sound Views At the Pendleton meeting of wheat farmers Suturday, which was attended by several hundred producers of wheat from the Inland Empire, VV. L. Thompson, former head of. the American National bank at Pendleton and now vice president of the First National bank of Portland, delivered -an address on the proposed -plan for aiding wheat prices that knocks the props from 'under the fellows who claim (le, plan is not sound. Mr. Thompson recited the operation controlling' American-made goods protected by a tariff and called attention to the long period of years this procedure has been in ex istence, which proves conclusively that those who planned 1 the process of taxing home wheat in order to bring up 'the foreign price of wheal, which in turn acts directly id advancing the price of wheat for home consumption, .. .were merely taking the system used by manufacturers of harvester machinery and the makers of iron and steel and putting it in operation in wheat. '' For many years the harvesting machinery houses when overtaken with production that they couUl not market at home have made a lower price to foreign countries in order to. get rid of their goods. The same is true of iron and -tee!, ' sewing machines and other articles made in this - ebuntrv. Republicans have been forced to meet these fncts .n campaigns for half a century and they have met them "standing up firmly for protective tarilt, witn me luu Know- .ledge that the surplus. of American factories was, being sold 1 other countries at a less price than the same goods were ;;old for at home. - Mr. Thompson's address breathed consolation ' to the , -. nun who is in earnest in this wheat campaign.

L UMBER TRADE LOOKS FIRMER Tho lumber market Is vt-ry ac tive and is strengthening dully, says thfc American Lumberman, Chl cugo. Orders are freely offered by both retailers and Industrial con sumers, but tho mills, already cur rying good-sized order files, are booking with a great den) of ruu tlon In view of the badly assorted slocks usually on hand. Prices on most popular items of both soft woods und hardwoods have, shown marked advances since the first of the year, and the tendency remains strongly upward. Prospects wure rarely more encouraging than now, und while tho desire for stabilized conditions is strong within the lum ber industry und co-operutive ef forts may minimize the effect of supply and demund upon the price level, it la expected that the mur ket will guther uddltlonul strength within tho near future, rather than weaken. Modern weather throughout must of the country during the last two weeks Jius enabled building nilju-ilhLntnnn outdoor work to pro gress on a basis considerably above Ijiprjital Jot this seuaon. Tills ac tivity keeps the reiau yarns uen 'ami necessitates- ineir nuyniK I usually large quantities of stock for linmedliite colisumpiion. ditlon to lumber for veplentnlunen. purposes in preparation for the spring trade. The outlook Tor Industrial busi ness Is steudily brlghtenhi'f. Among those large wood-iiuing industries which already are well represented on the market' and are likely t't become huge factors in the spring are tho ear building, automobile, furniture, agricultural Implements and box und , packing esse inter ests. .The r Oriental .Australian. West 'Indian and Kouth American export qiarkets are also good 'and promising, while conditions in Ku jope are likely at any time to change for thn better. Lumber production is slltl low. being hampered by the effects of recent bad weather in the Kouth and on the west coast. Mill storks meanwhile art declin ing. Though lumber production In this country during wns ma terially higher than during several previous years, being csliBiuted ut HX.500.OUO.OOil feel, statistics show that shipments wen- only approxi mately one-fifteenth of 1 per cent below that total, with the result that - the intense stork shortage which prevailed u year ago h:ih been relived to an Insignificant ex tent. The slight Improvement re flected by the. figures has been confined to western pines, red- jwood. northern pine and heinfock. , In southern pine and Douglas fir the two greaest factors in the snfi wood trade, there was a consider able excess of shipments over out- put; and the s;ime was the case In hardwoods, hot h nort hern and southern. It Isn't difficult to forgive an ).ene,my unless you know he is ti boiler, cleaner and S'tner man than you. Another thing these times need Is fewer people In the limelight,' and more under the living room lump at home. 28 YEARS AGO J.a Cirnndu Gazette, January 17, I S'itt Julius Itoesch is ' having A inhn with tin obsl inn to cold 'several tons of ice put ' up. should cwj'i' Mirer or tuv. lire j Mrs. N.
