Never be fore in the history of the lumber Indus try has there been gathered at one meet ing so great a representation of manu facturers, wholesalers and retailers as were present today when the Western Retail Lumbermen's Association con vened here in annual session. R. L. Mc Cormick. of the Weyerhaeuser Lumber Company, delivered the address of wel come. He urged unity, continued unity in, the lumbermen's fight against the rail roads. The response of Rev. P. A. Simp kin, of Salt Lake, was extremely witty. He appealed for cleanly business meth ods, healthy rivalry and honest actions. George E. Merrill, of Salt Iake, presi dent of tne association, then made an in teresting address. He spoke in a gen eral way about the advancement of the association, telling of the connection with the wholesalers and manufacturers. The report of A. L. Porter, secretary and treasurer, was brief, concise and well re ceived. "When we met In Salt Lake, last year,"ie sajd, "our membership num bered 579 retail yards: during the year we secured 120 new members and have lost, mostly by reason of members selling oit, 40 yards, giving us at present a member ship of 459 retail yards. This represents over 90 per cent of all legitimate lumber dealers In our territory." Discuss Cancellation Abuse. The receipts during the past year have been J6658 and the disbursements 15483, leaving a balance in the bank of J1176. R. J. Menz, of Seattle, spoke upon "Order of Responsibility and the Can cellation Abuse." This was the only ad dress upon a topic to be given during the day. The discussion that followed the reailJng of the paper proved that the members were vitally interested in the subject. Mr. Menz thought a solution, of the matter lay in a majority decision of three referees one to be selected by the retailers' association, covering- the dis trict In which the buyer's yard or office is located, the second through either the shippers' or the manufacturers' organiza tion, covering the district In which the seller's place of business is located; the third to be appointed by the two referees previously selected. The refusal of any buyer or seller to submit the differences to such referees shall be made known to the members of each and every Interested organization. Committee to Review Subject. j George W. Hopkins, secretary of the Il linois Lumber Dealers Association; George Birge, manager of the Southwestern Washington Lumber Manufacturers' Agency, E. D. Kingsley or Bridal Veil, Or.; B. J. Cobb of the Lumber Review, and W. J. Holli9 of Minneapolis, spoke upon the subject, all agreeing that the subject was too one-sided, and approving the appointment of a committee to review past cases and attempt a remedy. On motion of Z. E. Hayden of Spokane, the president will appoint such a com mittee. Tonight the members were tendered an Informal reception at the Tacoma Hotel. Tomorrow addresses will be delivered by R. W Douglass, Seattle; George M. Cornwall, Portland; George H. Emerson, Hoquiam, and E. D. Kingsley, Bridal Veil, Or. Carstens Men on Strike TACOMA. Feb. 27.

I Capital City Liquor Interests Boy cott "Booster" Fund and License Tax Will Be Reduced. . SALEM. Or., Feb. 27. (Special.) After several days of vigorous work on the part of the liquor dealers of Salem, dur ing which a boycott was declared against a member of the City Council and the threat was made that aid would be re fused to the Board of Trade "booster" work, a compromise was reached today, and It has been agreed that at the meet ing of the City Council next Monday evening the liquor license will be reduced from $1000 to $600. This agreement, it is announced, is in the interest of "har mony." At a special meeting of the City Coun cil last Friday night the liquor license was raised from $400 to $1000. The saloon proprietors did not like this and began a battle for reduction. Alderman Gideon Stolz was the only member of the Council supporting the increase who presented an easy oppor tunity for attack and the liquor dealers went after him in earnest. He owns the controlling interest in the Stolz soda, cider and vinegar factory, and the saloons are extensive buyers of soda. They noti fied Stolz that he could expect no more business from them. - Then the campaign for funds for adver tiping the resources of Salem presented another opportunity for' the l'quor deal ers to make their views Impressive. When the Board of Trade committeemen came around with a subscription raper they shook their heads and said they couldn"t afford to pay JioOO license fees and also subscribe to "booster" funds. Then the parties interested began to get together and consult. Negotiations proceeded rather slowly at first, but soon it was found that a majority of the Councilmen had acknowledged that the H0O0 license was too high. An under standing that the amount shall be reduced was reached and the boycott against Stolz was called off. At the Theaters What the Press Afeata Hay.

LOWNSDALE IS PRESIDENT Financial Interests Looking Toward "Old Yamhill," Declares Booster. Harrlman Promises to Aid Advertising Campaign. McMINNVILLB, Or.. Feb. 27. (Spe cial.) The Yamhill Development As sociation met here today for per manent organization, and elected the following officers: President. Millard O. Lownsdale. of Lafayette: vice-president, J. H. Eakln, of Sheridan: secre tary, V. T. Macy, of McMinnvllle. und treasurer, F. H. Caldwell, of New berg. It was Impressed quite forcibly upon the minds of the delegates present that the organization was to aid the county at large and not one special locality. Km-h commercial hodv in the county is entitled to representation upon ! asrreeine to contribute any sum what ever each month, and one other dele- r gate for each $j3 monthly contribu tion to the advertising fund. President Lownsdale Btated the mis sion of the association quite concisely when he said that the railroads and financial interests wero watching "Old I Yamhill" for signs of awakening life, and that the immediate prosperity of the whole Willamette Valley depend ed In a measure upon the promptness with which the people of this county took hold Of the matter of bettering their own condition. As Is well known, horticulture is Mr. Lownsdale's hoDby. and it is natural for him to put into every speech some effective wedges for the further opening of the subject of orchards and their care. But, while horticulture was the spe cialty in some sections of the state, this and adjoining counties could de velop dairying and varied resources along with fruit raising, and be at the head' of the class in each. The eye3 of the country, both East and South, are upon Yamhill, the center of this Western Paradise, and Mr. Lowns dalo said that "by attending to our own advertising and material ad vancement we can whip our neighbor ing counties Into line and the great Willamette region will thus become better known to the people who will be desirable additions to our popula tion." Advertising Agent Wells, of the Harriman lines, was present and of fered on behalf of his company some very liberal propositions in the way of advertising the county and distri buting literature. It is expected that when the local organizations through out the county catch the enthusiasm that Is manifesting its presence, that the board of trustees will be greatly Increased, since its numbers ' depend somewhat upon the action of the sev eral communities.
