Freight Cars— Order Must Be

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.

Wool Season Opens.
The new wool season is getting un
der way in the Yakima country, where
shearing has started.
The few sales
already made, which range in price up
to 27 cents, are in line with quotations
elsewhere for this class of wool.
Shearing w ill not begin in Eastern
Oregon until about the middle of next
month, and in the meantime it is not
thought that much business can be put
through, as buyers and sellers are
apart in most sections. Isidor Kosh-
land, of Portland, has contracted for
60,000 fleeces in Baker county at 20 to
21 cents, and also secured 10,000
fleeces at Condon. This and the Stan
field sale already reported is the ex<
tent o f the business done in Oregon to
date. There has not been as much
contracting to date in Western Idaho.
The London market continues irreg
ular, and for this reason the feeling in
the trade is still rather nervous.
Fine reports are received from the
first lambings east of the mountains,
there being practically no loss.
More than 80 per cent of the wool
clip of Utah has been contracted by
buyers from Eastern houses and prices
paid for 11,200,000 pounds under con
tract range from 21 to 28 cents, ac
cording to Dr. S. W. McClure, secre
tary o f the National Woolgrowers’
association, says the Salt Lake Herald-
Republican.
