12 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 5. 1903. LUMBER OF COAST Subject of Articles by Distin guished Editor. - HE COMES TO SEE AND HEAR Present and Fntnre of the Coaat's Leading: Industry Ably Discussed Will Work for Hod II oo An nual in Portland in 1905. To study the methods of lumbermen . In the greatest lumbering region yet remain ing In the United States and to tell the lumbermen of the Middle "West and South about It through his paper, is the mission on which James Elliott Defebaugh, editor of the American Lumberman of Chicago, is In Portland. He has come to the Pa cific Northwest accompanied bj two mem bers of his staff and began at Spokane to study the lumber resources, methods and distributing system of the Pacific North west. He and his assistants are writing a series of articles on their observations, which will extend through the Issues of the next six monhs, the last Issue of the American Lumberman containing IS pages of matter relating to the country around Spokane. Portland and Oregon in general will come in for a full share of his atten tion, for he Is spending several days In this region after having seen all th'at Puget Sound had to show of big logging camps and big mills. "What is the difference you noticed be tween methods in this section and in the 2dlddle "West?" he was asked at the Port land yesterday. "In Michigan, Minnesota and "Wiscon sin," he said, "they have smaller mills and lighter machinery, because they have smaller timber, though the mills are not necessarily smaller in aggregate produc tion. "We have passed the era of extreme wastefulness in the East- I saw immense quantities of material thrown away at the mills or ignored in the woods out here which we should use in the Middle "West In the woods we pull in logs which will cut down to 12, or even ten, Inches. Out here you do not touch them. Hemlock, which is a later growth, Is not touched here, except in certain sections where It predominates. It was ignored in the East until four or five years ago, when, having cut out everything else, the lumbermen fell back on it. In fact the price of hem lock has advanced more than that of any other wood, not excepting mahogany. It is used for ordinary construction. But the hemlock out here is superior to that In the .East. A hemlock 24 inches In diameter 13 considered a good tree In the East, but I .find them double and treble that size out here." Timber Supply of Eat and South. "Are not the people In the Middle West in sight of the exhaustion of their tim ber supply?" was asked. "That is rather a delicate statement to make ho answered. "As far as largo quantities are concerned, that is true, but there are a few large holdings that are belng manufactured at a liberal rate each year and will run the mills for 12 to 20 years. The great building wood of the East is now the yellow pine of the South. 'There Is a large annual product of that wood, increasingly so. That will be a large 'industry for 25 or 30 years.," "Are the lumbermen of the Middle West disposed to protect their timber land with a view to logging the second growth?" "Some localities will bear a second crop. In a few instances the forestry methods introduced by the Government are being applied to production, which means to protract the industry and produce a sec ond crop. The scheme is to cut down to a certain size and let the young trees grow. I am speaking now of the yellow pine country of the South. The only way anybody Is protecting the timber out lere Is by the forest reserves, for the In dividual owner has no motive but to cut the timber so as to get the most money out of it, before the mature timber be gins to decay. But it does not seem to decay. The other day I found many trees, both fir and cedar, which had been down CO or 100 years, but were still sound. Forest Reserve a. Good Thins:. "What do you think of the forest re serve policy?" "I think it is an excellent policy. I be lieve that only selfish Interest on the part of anybody will not encourage the Gov ernment method of perpetuating the for ests. I am not a crank on the subject, however, and am not disposed to say much about it out here, where a very large percentage of the forest has been already set aside. I am reluctant to ex press an opinion on a subject in which your people are most directly Interested, as I find that the Government has made large reserves in this district and local sentiment should have recognition in any further reservations. I am a strong be llever In the forest reserve policy. I knovf Mr. Plnchot, the Chief of the Forestry Division, to be an intelligent enthusiast on the subject, but he is practical. He is a rich man who is working for the Gov ernment practically without salary. He has been in. conference with the lumber interests and they have given him much encouragement. He has " men now ex amining the holdings of the Weyerhaeuser Company." Canal Will Open World's Market. "From what yqu say the Pacific Coast is the only reserve timber supply in the country," was remarked. "It is after the building wood of the South has been exhausted and the whole country will have to depend on it. Open up the isthmian Canal and you will be able to reach all the markets of the coun try and the world. I estimate that it will take 500,000,000 feet of timber to build that canal. That demand will be met Jointly by the Southern States and the Pacific Coast. It will be -we for con struction purposes and Dullilngs and fnr camps which will be moved from place to place. But it will take ros,iy years to build the canal." "How do the logging methods of this section compare with those of the In terior?" Count Loprpinp: Methods. "The methods are more advanced and heavier machinery and appliances are re quired than anywhere else except in the cypress country of the South. I rode about eight miles on a logging train of some 20 cars loaded with logs which would average 2500 feet. In the interior they average from 10 to 20 logs to the thousand 'feet of lumber. The logs out here are cut long, which helps in the measurement, but it is an eye opener to an Eastrn man. One can get a stiff neck looking up to the top of your trees." Ts there not a tendency to eliminate wood as a construction material?" "Yes, to a considerable extent, but at no time In the last three or four years .has It been possible to fill the demand for steel construction in any reasonable time. A great deal more steel would have been used If it were possible, when people were ready to build, to get steel in any sort of reasonable time or at rea sonable prices. There has been a little let-up In the demand for building materi als in the last few months, and this has enabled sawmill, men, for Instance, who could not accumulate stocks such as are customary In the East and South, to get a little stock ahead. But at no time within two years have the railroads sup plied sufilclent cars to move the com modities ready and In demand. That is the most lamentable phase of present conditions." "Then the lumber business is grdwing in the South?" "Yes. It used to be that a man could not get money at a bank in the South unless he had cotton on his clothes, but in the last few years the lumber busi ness Is being recognized in that section. Xo Decline In Stumpage. "I- have been asked whether I did not think there would be a decline in the price of stumpage. There never has been a decline in stumpage In any part of the United States. Thee has been a time when there were fewer transactions and a more limited movement, but the price has never retrograded. If you could know the aggregate amount of cash which has been put In the forests here in the last few years it would exceed all other transactions on the Pacific Coast. "More damage through .forest fires Is being caused by squatters than by any other cause. He becomes careless and In different to his surroundings and, when he burns brush, he lets the fire get away from him. The homesteader is doing more damage to the Pacific Coast in that way than any other Interest I can conceive of. I say that not desiring to deprive any one of the rights and -privileges the Gov ernment has provided for that class of people." Mr. Defebaugh, like most lumbermen. Is an enthusiastic Hoo Hoo, and was the third Snark of the Universe, the title borne by the head of the order.

The annual convention of the Hoo Hoo of the three Pacific states will be held in this city on the same day and will keep in constant communication with Messrs. In man and Becknian for the purpose of pushing Portland's claims. Hoo Hoo for Portlnnd in 1905. Mr. Defebaugh had not Intended to re main in Portland for this meeting, but he was persuaded to remain by an. elo quent letter from H. J. Miller, a Che halls lumberman, urging him to remain not only to attend the Hoo Hoo annual but to see the beauties of the Columbia River from The Dalles to Astoria. Mr. Miller's letter concludes: "Also, as with all others, our desire has an ulterior motive, as we wish your influence for the obtaining of the Hoo Hoo annual at Portland during the World's Fair in 1903, and we feel assured that, when you meet the boys of the Coast in your lighter moments you will use your best effort to assist them in the plan as outlined." The letter ends with the following gem of poetry: O, yes, do stay, dear Defebaugh, And once more wag your facile Jaw, Whern mighty Hoo Hoo shakes his paw, In Portland's sunny vale; And when you've nobly done your part. And on your homeward way you start. Enshrined you'll be In every heart, Where the Black Cat waves his tall. Yielding to hls appeal, Mr. Defebaugh decided to remain and said regarding the prospects of Portland's capture of the Hoo Hoo annual: Hoo Hoo Knlldlnpr at the Fnlr. "Houston, Tex., Is the only other candi date I know of, but that city may be Induced to withdraw until 1905. as a Hoo Hoo annual was held in that state not long ago. The Pacific Coast Is entitled to the recognition asked, for it has made a larger proportionate increase in mem bership In the last two years than any other district. The order will have a building of its own to be called 'The House of Hoo Hoo at the St. Louis Ex position, and it is barely possible that, if the Coast people can induce them to come here In 1905, the Hoo Hoo of the Coast may erect a similar building at the Lewis and Clark Exposition. "Eastern people are becoming quite enerally interested in the Lewis and Clark Exposition. It is thought about as probably the last great exposition we shall have for a number of years, and the agl- tatlon on the subject has revived the his- torv of the achievements of Lewis ami Clark and created aulte a little enthusl- asm for the pntprnrlsp " wide nublicitv to the facts In rrnrrt tn the lumber lndustrv nf the Parlflo "MoT-t- west He has becun a series nf at-Hoine on his observations which Is likely to con- tlntie thrntith the novt oiv mnnthc -ma paper, which is a consolidation of the TImberman and the NorthwestLumber- man, has a world-wide circulation, and easily stands in the front rank . of lum ber papers.

DRILL AT GEARHART National Guard Spends Busy Day at Camp Summers. BAND FAILS J0 ARRIVE Regimental Drill Is Postponed Until Today Major Baker Is Thrown From an Unruly Horse and Somewhat Braised. CAMP SUMMERS, Gearhart, Or. Sept 4. (Special. There was more life to day at Gearhart than' ever before on a single occasion. In the early hours of .the morning before the Summer visitors of the Park had awakened there was a great stir and bustle in the camp grounds caused by the blowing of trump- ets, arranging of tents and cleaning of grounds. After the early mess all the companies went out and .did their first drilling on the natural capping grounds of Gearhart. All the officers unite In saying that Camp Summers Is by far the best mili tary camp ground that the Oregon militia has ever trod upon. Short soft grass and moss cover the entire field, comprising in all about 50 acres of rolling ground which makes an ideal place to practice military drill. It Is also the most healthful place that could have been chosen. The water used Is very good and comes from wells which were driven 26 feet deep. At all times there is a fine refreshing sea breeze which keeps the temperature low and thus prevents prostrations and sun strokes on those who are so constructed that they cannot stand to do several hours of con tinuous work In the blazing sun, such as was the case in Albany last year. The camp located as it is just east of the sand hills is at all times protected from strong winds. This afternoon thos who could went to the beach and bathed in the surf, and every day it Is expected that the numbers of bathers will increase. Some also went fishing, clam digging and crab hunting. The Nineteenth United States Infantry band, which was expected to reach the camp today sent a dispatch that it would not reach here until Saturday, owing to the fact that the ferry was missed today at Vancouver. Company G, of Albany, has the record of bringing the most men to camp, having 55 on the rolls. Major Baker, of the Third Battalion, met with an accident this morning, hi3 horse throwing him to the ground, caus ing several severe bruises. Regimental drill was omitted today on account of the absence of the band, but it will be car ried out tomorrow. Strict military disci pline is being enforced by Colonel Ganten bein and his Adjutant, E. C. Mears. TO UNITE MANY UNIONS. Plnn George Eten Proposes to Rail road Men. "The trade union was the first move of the employe. After 100 years the em ployer countered with the combination of employers the trust. The third move is now up to the employe. That move is the industrial union. It is the old story of the cannon and the armor, heavy can non to pierce heavy armor; heavier armor to resist the cannon, heavier cannon to pierce the new armor, and so on." So spoke George Estes, president of the United Brotherhood of Railway Employes 1 to a small but respectable-looking audience of railroad men at the A. O. U. w- Hal1 last evening. The speaker was Introduced by James Jamleson. head of the local organization of the United i Brotherhood of Railway Employes. ' The speaker was a fine-looking man of . '"S. unimpassionecl style, but was so I troubled by hoarseness that he was obliged to stop in the middle of his fed ' dress' J- T- iIorSan. a local railroad ' "man, followed him In a brief speech on l"c iij nauc and Industrial unionism. President Estes said, in part: "Two hundred years ago there were no labor unions. Some have tried to trace-a likeness between the guilds then flourish ing and the present trades union. But in the objects of each there Is no relation ship. The guild was a combination be tween the employer and employed against the public to put up prices' of the product which they jointly turned out. "The object of the labor union is solely the betterment of the condition of the employed. When unionism started, be tween 100 and 200 years ago, conditions were immeasurably different from now; there were no trusts as wo now under stand them, all prevailing, all controlling, dominating the world. Then employer and employe worked in contact; tney Knew each other and talked j together. But the labor-saving devices and the Increased facilities for communication and trans portation of the past 100 years, far exceed ing the combined results of the Inventions of all preceding time, have changed all the conditions entirely. Each Industry grew to such proportions that the em ployer could not handle it alone and he had to employ a manager and submon- ager. He then built a palace on a moun tain top and a steam yacht and, sailed away to the Mediterranean and lost touch with his men. In the hands of his man agers, however, he left a sword which could cut but one way. It was the order " 'Get all the money possible out of the business.' "The manager could reduce wages, but not increase them; he could make the day's work longer, but could not decrease It, therefore, old-time methods of adjust ing differences between employer and em ployed lost effectiveness. j "Now let me make the -distinction clear j between the trade union and the Industrial union. A trade union Is an organization of all the men In a special trade. An Industrial union is a combination of all the trades In one Industry. "Some men say .they can remember when the first labor union started. That is not true, for the movement began long before the lifetime of any living man. It first started in England when the law of the time held that when two or more men gathered together for the purpose of organizing any effort to secure shorter hours or more pay, It constituted a con spiracy, severely punishable by fines and imprisonment. Consequently, the first labor unions were In secret. "The first strikes were successful. .The first move of the employe won. At that time one employer was the enemy of his neighboring competitor, but after 100 years of education in troubles with his men he swallowed his animosity toward his competitor and went to him and said, 'Let us combine, we will save money un der one manager Instead of two, and wo shall be better able to resist the demands of our employes. You call your business worth $100,000 and I'll call mine worth $100,000 and we'll each take $100,000 worth of stock.' So they joined together and with them one after another Joined all other competitors. They said: 'Now, if we have a strike in one factory we can shut it up and lock out the men and in crease the output of our other factories.' "So at last was Inaugurated the counter-move of the employer. Now It Is up to the employe to meet It with the In dustrial union. The condition petween capital and labor In these modern times Is simply business, and business ha3 been called war, and war, you know, Sherman called 'hell.' Business reduced to its final definition is 'getting all you can from the other fellow and giving Just as little as you can." "Now a word to you men In the rail way service showing why it is better for you to join In one Industrial union, and, if you will, why It is better for the industry. At present conditions are In harmonious, various trade unions fre quently working with contradictory tac tics to the disadvantage of everybody. It would be better for us today were we all in one union. It will be a long time, some say, before such a union can be or ganizedbut It is certain that it will ul timately be done. "It would be a tremendous organiza tion, you say all the railway employes of America It might dominate the Govern ment If so, it would be in the Interest of the working people the employed class, or the majority of the people, and that is what we believe government to be for such domination I think would be bet ter for the country than the power of allied capital In the hands of a few men of unlimited ambition. "Great Britain has already learned the lesson. Thirty-one years ago all the rail way men of England formed a union. All the numerous trades unions of the Shef field works have been blotted out and organized into one." At this point Mr. Estes was obliged to stop. He will speak at Ogden, Utah, next Monday night, where it is expected that a great concourse of railroad men and others will assemble to listen to him.

It is a fact that the old-time enemy, sick headache, Is disappearing as the use of Postum Food Coffee In place of coffee becomes more widespread. Sick headache Is always caused by im proper food or drink, and coffee is the most prominent cause of sick headaches. In those families where Postum has taken the place of coffee you will seldom find a case of sick headache, nausea or nervousness. "I had sick headache fre quently before beginning the use of Postum, which wag a year ago last June, but since I have quit coffee and used Postum I have had only one spell. "My husband suffered so greatly from stomach trouble for two years, with ex treme weakness at times and smothering so badly that his friends generally gave him up as a consumptive. Two physicians tried their skill but did not help him Yet in less than a year since he quit cof fee and began the use of Postum he is well. The smothering spells are entlrely gone and he is back again at his usual farm work strong and happy. We both began to notice a change for the bet ter after wo had used Postum about a month, and now we would neither one of us go without it. "My husband's mother had stomach trouble entirely different from my hus band's. She had had weak stomach for 30 years without being able to get much help from medical treatment. After she saw what Postum had done for my hus band, she was easily persuaded to give up coffee and try' Postum and. the old cramps from which she used to suffer so much are almost entirely gone and her stom ach is getting strong and normal. could tell you of a number of other cases among my relatives and townspeople, but guess you will understand from this what we think of Postum In this part of the country. "You could not persuade any of these people that I have named to risk even one cup of coffee now, since they have seen what giving up coffee and drinking Postum will do toward getting back health and happiness."
