SEEK SPRUCE 10 BUILD AEROPLANES A Houuohold Romwdy H A N F O R D ’S Balsam of Myrrh A tIN IM I N t Railroads Buy Material for Thousand Freight Cars— Order Must Be Filled in Three Months. l'ortland Lumber mills have bean u»kad to bid on an order for 8,000,000 feet of trench |»iata and picket» for use by the allied |*>wers in the war zone. The posts are to be 2x4 inches and four feet long, sharpened at one end, and will lie used for stringing barbed wire along the trenches. They are to he used on the fighting front in France, and delivery will have to be made from l'ortland within 00 days. Thla will insure them reaching Europe, barring marine accidenta, by Septem­ ber. The order may be for all or part o f the 8.000,000 feet. A large domestic order for lumber for railroad cars haa been placed with the Douglas Fir Lumber company, of Portland! The order call» for 2,000,- 000 feet of fir. The Kuro|>ean governments are alao in the Portland market for as much high-grade spruce as can be obtained, it was learned on good authority here. This spruce brings $30 to $100 a thou­ sand, and is for building areoplanea. The alliea’ agents for trench posts have been authorized to ask for bida in Portland and British Columbia. It ia preHumed by local lumbermen, ship owner» and agents in Portland that about 4,000,000 feet will be taken from Portland. The posts would be cut from Douglaa flr and tied in bun­ dles of 10 to 20. The coat would be around $16 to $16 a thousand feet, bringing to Portland, if the order ia placed here, between $60,000 and $75,- 000 for the 4,000,000 feet. The local river mills could turn out the order within leaa time than the specifications now in Portland hands require. The lumber posts could be handled easily by two o f the large steamers, and the canal route could be taken. The domestic order which haa been placed with the Douglaa Fir Lumber company o f Portland call» for 2,000,- 000 feet o f Douglaa fir to be used in the construction o f 1000 automobile car» and 600 stork car for the Chicago & Northwestern railroad. The order waa placed by the Western Steel Car & Foundry com|iany, o f Chicago. It will take 80 cars to carry it East. E. B. Hazen, vice president o f the Douglaa Fir Lumber company, said that the order haa been put in the hands of local and Bridal Veil milla and would be finished in about a week. The order represents about $50,000. Tho European powers, it w b » estab­ lished beyond reaaonable doubt, are ac­ tually seeking large apruce orders in the Pacific Northwest, principally Ore­ gon. Local lumbermen admit that they were unable to fill the orders as fast as they were being received. The Hprure required is o f a fine grade and brings from $30 to $100 a thousand feet. In the last two years about 10,- 000,000 feet haH been taken out of the Northwest for the construction o f aeroplanes for tho European powers. This confirmation lends considerable credence to the report from Marshfiled that the Russian government was seek­ ing 60,000,000 o f spruce in the Coos Bay country.

Methods of Industrial efficiency such as are habitually ascribed to German establishments actually pre­ vail In the automobile industry of the United States to a greater extent than Is ordinarily understood. Par­ ticularly In the handling of waste materials Is extraordinary attention paid to details that are seemingly in- signlflcent. The advantage of these efficiency methods and detailed saving possi­ ble has been strongly emphasized by conditions prevailing In this coun­ try at the present time. For Instance the scarcity of aluminum has placed what was once a common metal now almost in the semi precious class. Prices on many manufacturing met­ als have in many cases doubled and quadrupled over the ordinary rates prevailing before the opening of the European war. By the use of electric magnets, scrap, which was formerly wasted. Is now carefully gone over and the Iron and steel fragments automati­ cally lifted out. In fact the automo­ bile Industry In the United States gives keener attention . to details than Is bestowed In any Country.

University of Washington, Seattle. — The United States Geological Sur­ vey will shortly publish a compre­ hensive bulletin on Washington’s coal resources, bringing together in one report what haa heretofore been printed In fragments. The bulletin la being prepared by Dean Henry Landes, of the college of science, during hla year's leave of absence. New fields, aucb as the Whatcom county anthracite and Lewis county lignite beds, will be the subject of discussion In the report. In addition to the better known King, Pierce and Kittitas county fields. Washington coal operators are feel­ ing the competition of the California oil fields, according to Dean Landes, but the mines are nevertheless fairly prosperous. The hard coal of Washington will draw only conservative comment Dean Landes describes it as In the prospective stage, and saya only de­ velopment work will tell the story of quantity and quality. “ Sadderman seems to be always worrying about something.” "Yes; he Is generally troubled with three kinds of trouble at the same time— all the trouble be has ever had, all be has now and all be ever expects to have.”— Puck.
