John Wicks has contracted with the
Postal Telegraph company for 12,000
cedar poles, and it is likely that he will
supply the greater portion of the 25,000
poles wanted for immediate shipment
to Utah and other states through which
the company is constructing a trans
continental line. Mr. Wicks has com
menced filling his contract, and the first
shipment will be made early next weex.
It will require 250 cars to take these
poles to their destination, and these
will be brought out of the timber dis
trict by the Oregon & Southeastern and
turned over to the Southern Pacific at
this point. Poles for Utah will go by
way of Portland, and cars will be load
ed eighteen feet high, while those go
ing to other states will be shipped
south and cars will be loaded to a
height of only twelve feet on account
of the tunnels in California. Mr. W.
M. Smith of the Postal company is
personally inspecting and shipping the
poles, a large proportion of which are
spit. It will require about three months
to fill this order, when an additional 25,-
000 will be contracted for, to be used
in the construction of a double-wire line
from San Francisco to Seattle.
The first annual report of the Asso
ciated Bureau of Grades was made pub
lic Monday, through the offices of the
Oregon & Washington Lumber Manu
facturers’ Association. About a year
ago the bureau was organized, and now
embraces the entire Northwest, with
its three fir manufacturing associations.
For its initial year, the bureau reports
splendid progress, and is able to count
as members most of the big lumber
manufacturing plants of the Douglas
fir belt in the United States.
In reviewing the work of the year,
the inspectors report that 1046 inspec
tions have been made, the average cost
to the mills being about one-half cent
per thousand of lumber manufactured
by the plants affected. Three inspec
tors have been employed. Instead of
covering given district, they have ro
tated over the field of the Oregon &
Washington, the Southwestern Washing
ton, and the Pacific Coast associations,
making the round in about 90 days.
This service has proved so satisfactory
that it is to be continued on the same
lines, rather than districting the work.
Recommenations made by the three
inspectors of the bureau are along the
following lines:
Greater co-operation of the mills with
the inspectors.
Appointment of a chief inspector.
Maintenance of two inspectors or
more in the East to settle complaints
arising out of Northwest lumber ship
ments to those points.
In referring to details of the work,
the inspectors state that the one of the
most important improvements that
could be adopted would be in kiln
ing. In this field of manufacture care
ful study of new methods is urged, and
the broadest possible opportunity exists
through the medium of inspectors, who
are visiting all of the mills and making
a careful examination of various re
sults.
The mill of the Fir & Spruce Lumber
company of Toledo will resume opera
tions after having been idle two years.
Tie mill has a capacity of 100,000 per
day, but will saw only 50,000 at the
outset.
The Coquille mill will ship out 650,-
000 feet of lumber during the month of
January. The lumber will be taken to
Coos Bay by rail and shipped out over
the bar at that place.

A WORD TO DELINQUENTS.
Quite a large number of delinquent
subscribers have responded to The Sen
tinel’s call for an adjustment of ac
counts, but there are others, and from
these a settlement is urged. Subscrib
ers should bear in mind that The Sen
tinel is payable in advance, and that
there is no deviation from this rule.
Under the former management many
subscribers were allowed to become
delinquent, and to these we purpose giv
ing an opportunity to “square up” and
begin on a new basis. If for any rea
son any delinquent does not want the
paper, he will confer a favor upon us
by paying up and discontinuing it rath
er than to permit it to run for months
and then repudiate our claim, as some
have done. It costs money, and con
siderable of it, to produce a newspaper
like The Sentinel, and we cannot afford
to carry a single “dead one.” It is
simply a matter of business. It is our
endeavor to make The Sentinel a news
paper in the true meaning of the word;
one that will merit the patronage of all
citizens, and in this endeavor we want,
and must have, support—or in other
words, coin of the realm.
