Bwrrping Curtailment Is Ordered by
Lumbermen In Session at Seattle
to Last Until Demand for
Product Picks Cp Again.
SEATTLE, Wash., April 2S. (Sper
cial.) As the result of an understand
ing reached at a meeting of SO of the
lumber manufacturers of Washington,
Oregon and Idaho In the rooms of the
Pacific Coast Lumber Manufacturers
Association .yesterday, the present out
put of the mills in these states will be
curtailed at least one-third. This will
mean the mills of three Pacific North
west States will not be producing more
than one-half of their capacity during
the month of May. A poor market in
the Kast caused by the tariff discussion
Is assigned as the cause.
Men at this meeting represented some
of the largest mills in the Northwest.
The dally capacity of the mills repre
sented exceeds 16,000,000 feet of lum
ber, or more than 65 per cent of the
capacity of the mills of the three states.
Four big lumber associations the Pa
cific Coast Lumber Manufacturers' Asso
ciation, the Oregon and Washington
Lumber Manufacturers' Association, the
Southwestern Washington Manufactur
ers' Association and the Western Pine
Manufacturers' Association were rep
resented at this meeting. Delegates
war here from California, as well as
the three Northwestern States.
Grays Harbor Holds Aloof.
'. . The meetlna was called hv wi.!n.inn
mtllmen. whose mills have been operat
ing at a loss for months. The only lumber-producing
section of the Northwest
not represented at this meeting by Its
largest producers was the Grays Harbor
district. letters wera sent out last night
to all the large mills -in that territory,
calling attention to the understanding
reached at this meeting. Many Grays
Harbor mills are already operating on
short shifts, and lumbermen believe they
will all follow the lead of other sections.
No definite agreement as to the length
of the shut-down was reached. Each
man present at the meeting stated what
plan he would probably follow. Some said
they would shut down entirely. Others
said they would operate half time, and
others will operate their mills only 48
hours per week.
Complete Shut-down Opposed.
At yesterday's meeting the Puget
Sound mlUmen opposed a complete shut
down, stating that the heavy demand
in the Pacific Northwest was furnishing
some business. Nearly every miUman
present agreed to curtail the output ot
. his mill.
"The Oregon, the Idaho, the Eastern
Washington market conditions have been
unpreccdentedly Inactive since the first
of the year." said Robert Allen, editor
of the Pacific Lumber Trade Joitrnal.
and acting secretary of the meeting.
"Mills that have been operating have
done so at an actual financial loss and
a curtailment of production seems abso
lutely necessary until such ilm th
long-anticipated buying movement sets
tn.
Today's meeting was a general meeting
of all lumbermen and the attendance
was only limited by the capacity of the
room in which It was held. Each mnn
facturer talked freely of conditions at
nis own and neighboring millls, and
wlille they were not unanlninim In all
things, they did agree to a man that all
mills running are doing so at an abso
lute financial loss and at a great waste
to their sttimpage assets. For this rea
son there will be a curtailment of out
put of about one-third the cutting ca
parity. If it were possible to take con
certeS action, the curtailment would be
greater and the protection and conserva
tion of sttimpage resources more satisfac
tory. This prospective close-down Is
simply to oecur as the individual mills
find it necessary.
Columbia River loggers were repre
sented at the Seattle meeting by F. C.
Knapp, of the Peninsula Lumber Com
pany, and Donald Mackay, of the North
Paclfio Lumber Company.
These lumber producers held a con
ference in this city 10 days ago when
the logging situation was discussed.
They concluded it would 'be necessary
slightly tj curtail the output of the
mills to meet the demands of the trade
If a congestion in the lumber market
and consequent depreciation in values
were to be avoided.
Messrs. Knapp and Mackay are mem
bers of a committee appointed at that
meeting to confer with the ' Puget
Sound manufacturers that some defi
nite plan might be formulated for
meeting the .situation and

ish War Veterans, he expressed high
appreciation of the work performed
by them.
"I cannot imagine," declares the

that my attitude toward the veterans
of the Spanish War has been other
than that of the utmost good will and
the highest appreciation of the work
which has been done by them In a war,
the importance of which we have
hardly yet begun to measure.
"The exposure to which those who
went to Cuba, Porto Rico and the Phil

and the self-restraint and power of
initiative exhibited in the individual
soldier, all entitle the veterans of the
Spanish War. including those In the

CONSTANTINOPLE. April 2S. The
former ruler of the Empire, Abdul
Hamid, will be kept a prisoner in a
large house with walled grounds on a
height overlooking Salonica, it was
learned tonight. He is not to be put
on trial, as has been widely predicted,
for he is considered above the law. It
was thought wise .to keep the deposed
Sultan in European Turkey, remote
from the capital. His household will
be administered upon a generous scale
and his Ufa will be safeguarded, as he
earnestly besought when notified of his
dethronement.
Abdul Hamid, with four wives, five
daughters. and two of his younger sons,
two eunuchs and a comparatively
large number of female servants, was
taken from the YildU Palace last night
and started under an escort to Salonica.

the great sums of money that the cx
