BIG PINES LUMBER CO.
IS NOW BRISK
Lumber Dealers Meet and Report Ac
tive Market with Bright
Outlook.
Demand for Oregon and Washing
ton lumber has greatly improved dur
ing the last month, and manufactur
ers are looking forward to an un
usually busy season next year. The
. gratifying increase in business, 'which
has been quite dull during the last
two years, was a topic of general dis
, cussion at the regular monthly meet
ing of the Oregon and Washington
Lumber Manufacturers' association,
held in Portland Saturday afternoon,
.and nearly every member present tes
tified to his own knowledge of the
growing demand.
Since the panic of 1907 the lumber
business has been depressed and not
until recently has there been much of
an encouraging improvement in the
conditions. The improvement in the
demand for lumber is taken as a proof
of growing prosperity in all sections
of the country. , . .
The selection of the rarest quality
of Oregon fir for the interior finish
of the reception room of the inter
national bureau of American repub
lics, to lie built in Washington, D. C,
formed a live topic at the meeting.
The association has requested every
manufacturer to ship to Portland at
least 1000 feet of his choicest green
fir, and from the 20,000 feet thus to
be sent the final selection for the
4000 feet to be used in the building to
be constructed at Washington, D. C,
is to be made. John Barrett, direc
tor of the bureau of international re
publics, was formerly a Portland
newspaper man, and his loyalty to the
state of Oregon caused him to fin
ish the reception room of the new
building with Oregon fir.
One of the more important features
of the meeting Saturday was the
agreement to star.dardiza odd lengths
of higher class lumber as a matter
of economy. It has been found that
many contractors desire odd lengths,
and instead of selling lumber in the
future in lengths divisable bv two
feet, the higher grades will be placed
on sale at odd as well as even lengths.
Herman Bros., the saddle and har
ness makers, desire to announce to
the trade that they are not only pre
pared to fill all orders at short no
tice, but carry the most complete line
of harness, saddles, bridles, whips,
robes, blankets, wagon covers, tents,
etc., that can be found in southern
Oregon at prices that cannot fail to
please when quality, of stock and
workmanship is considered. Don't
forget the place, 317 E. Seventh
street, Jledford. ' .
COOS APPLE CONSIGNMENT
NETS 95 CENTS A BOX
MARS1IF1ELD, Or., Oct. -S. G.
G. Swan, secretary of the Coitiille
Valley Fruitgrowers' Association, has
received returns from the marketing
,of this years's crop of apples. The
entire shipment of 900 boxes sent out
by the association found a market in
Portland. Only one box of the fruit
was damaged in shipment. The
growers received 95 cents net a box
for their fruit. This is the first time
the members have attempted to mar
ket their fruit as an association, and
the pluji will be followed next year,
as the price received was gratifying
to the growers. While the price was
not as large as that received by the
Hood river growers the members of
the association feel that they have
made a step in the right direction.
Last year only about GO cents a box
was realized. The price was bettor
and the shipment was, larger jmder
the association plan than any prev
ious year in the CWnille valley.
