LUMBER TRADE IS
STEADILY IMPROVING
Dealers Are Not Too Optim
i istic, but Note Situation
Bl Is Much Brighter.
BANKS FINANCE7 LOGGING
Mills Are Shipping Surplus Material
to Kaht and Middle West and -
Getting- Ready to Resume Op-'
4 erutloris if Demand Lasts.
Lumber "business in Portland and vi
cinity In beginning to improve.
In fact K-has been improving tor the
last few weeks.
Lumbermen, bankers and railroad
officials, ' who are accustomed to deal
with lumber, anticipate a' steady and
continued improvement : until the trade
reaches its normal basis. They don't
look for, a boom until after the war,
and are not' certain about a boom even
then.
The. increased demand for lumber Is
due principally to retail orders in the
Middle West. No decided improvement
Jias been noticed' in the local or in the
California' demands.- .-'
The" export movement, on account of
the war; is far below normal.
But -in spite of the adverse .conditions
locally and in the foreign trade the
lumber men are - experiencing a pro
nounced improvement. in their business
on account of 'Eastern demands for
their products. '.
I. or. Are Ordered. ' -
Logging operators, who have been
unable to move , their logs for more
than a . year,, in the last few weeks
have found themselves confronted with
orders from mills and manufacturers.
Mills that have been idle or running
on part time now are beginning to ship
tome of their surplus material and are
petting ready to increase their work
ing forces if Uie market activity con
tinue. ' .
It is improbable, however,' that any
lugging camps will find it necessary to
operate through the Winter. It is the
custom.' even-in-normal times, to sus
pend activity through- the Winter
months and supply the trade from their
.surplus. They do not expect the de
mand to become so great as to exhaust
their surplus before Spring.
The activity among the' logging
plants has been reflected in the banks
of Portland, where the bulk of the lum
ber business of the Northwest is fi
nanced. "Within the last six weeks,"' said a
cashier of a big Portland bank yester
day, "we have been called on to handle
a large volume of logging paper. Pre
vious to that time we .didn't ace any
logging paper for months and months.
It shows that the mills need more logs.
L amber Moves Ent
"We 'have noticed for quite a while
that the mills are shipping more lum
ber to their Kastern and Middle West
ern customers. The business has in
creased substantially within the last
six weeks.
Portland lumbermen(--.are. - not In
clined to be too optimistic, however,
over the ap-murent improvement in their
business. . The; lumber Industry has
been stagnant so long and has been
treated with false hopes of revival so
often that they are not to be led into
exultations over even such a substan
tlal improvement -as the present one
ateems to be.
"While, the . situation certainly looks
brighter than it did six- months ago.
says W. B. Mackay, "it isn't near where
it ought to te yet. The new orders are
small and scattering.- The big buyers
are not back in the market.
But it is apparent that the lumber
men depend largely upon the "small
and scattering" orders for the mainte
nance of their industry in the future.
They realize that the railroads, as pur
chasers of the immense quantities that
characterized their activities st decade
ko. are 'permanently out" of the mar
ket. - - - .
Big roads like tlio Pennsylvania
have abandoned the use of the wooden
freight car entirely and are building
them entirely of steel. Even Western
roads like the Union Pacific, serving
a lumber territory, are adopting steel
freight cars. It is believed that event
ually the use of wood in the manufac
ture of railroad equipment will ba re
duced to a. very small margin.
But the luml'er manufacturers have
taken council together and have come
to the conclusion that their future
X'rosperi-ty -depends - largely upon their
ability to sell- their products in small
Quantities. .
IS. A. Sterling, manager of the trade
extension department of the Lumber
Manufacturers' Association, when he
was in Portland a short time ago,
pointed :out that through their lack
of aggressiveness. the lumber men
have lost '.to the steel and the con
crete manufacturers a. field of tride
mat legitimately oeiongs to tne lum
ber industry.
Smaller Business la Promising.
lie painted out that for minor pur
poes, such as the construction of silos
and garages, for instance, lumber can
be used at a decided advantage over
toncreta.
And it is this class of business that
Is forming the bulk of the present de
mand. Farmer's in the Middle West

Injunction -Against Enforcement
.- Sunday - Closing Law Is Intent.
Price Pacts to Be Topic, Too.
Growing out of the arrest of several
grocers, not members of the Retai
Grocers' Association, for keeping open
last Sunday in alleged violation of the
ancient "blue Sunday" state law; a cal
has been issued for a big meeting of
independent dealers in groceries,
cigars, conrec.tionery and other lines
affected, at the East Side Library. East
Eleventh. and East Alder, streets, at 8
o clock tonight.
The main purpose of the meeting is
to get out an injunction against the
enforcement of the old Sunday closing
law. which had been a dead letter for
years until recently made -an issue, and
later to initiate a measure declaring
the Sunday closing law void and in
operative.
Dan Kellaher, Ben Bellamy and
others are among those behind" the cal
for the meeting. They" declare tha
against tne - approximately- 250 mem
bers of the ..Retail Grocers' Associa

closed on Sunday are some 1250 retail

are bittterly -opposed to Sunday clos
ing. They also maintain . that senti
anent generally' is against -it.
. They assert that present economic
conditions are such that general Sun
day closing would work a genuine
hardship of a great many persons.
Among other things to. be discussed at
the meeting are -price agreements
which .the independents have been
forced at times to maintain by com

VERSION OF HURSFS
EXECUTION DENIED
Berlin Semf-Officially Says
Empty Promises Were Not
Made to Whitlock.
BELGIAN ADVISER BLAMED
Important Events Declared to Have
Been Inaccurately Reproduced.
London Says Papers Were
Published Without Change.
BRUSSELS, via Amsterdam to Lon
don, Oct. 27. A semi-official statement
has been issued here relative to the
case of Miss Edith Cavell, the English
nurse who was executed by the German
authorities. It reads as follows:
"The American Ambassador at Lon
don has placed at the disposal of the
British government documents regard
ing the Cavell case. The documents
contain statements regarding the ex
change of letters between the Ameri
can legation at Brussels and the Ger
man authorities at Brussels about the
trial. The British government prompt
ly handed the documents to the press
ana naa tnem distributed abroad by
Reuter (Reuter's Telegram Company).
Promise to Whitlock Denied.
"In these documents most of the im
portant events are inaccurately re
produced. Particularly is the impres
sion created that the German authori
ties with empty promises put off the
American - Minister (Brand Whitlock)
n order to conceal from him pro
nouncement of the death sentence and
deprive him, by speedily carrying out
tne sentence, of the possibility of in
tervention in Miss Cavell's behalf.
"Such a. promise was never given
by the German authorities and could
not therefore have been received. This
was admitted by the American Minis
ter in Brussels when the matter was
discussed with the German authori
ties.
"That the American Ambassador in
London was wrongly informed can be
explained by the fact that the Bel
gian advocate, who as attorney for the
American Legation, played a part in
this incident, caused a misleading con
struction to be placed on his reports.
Whitlock Declared Pained.
"In any case, the American Minister
at Brussels was painfully affected by
the report as made public. He intended
to inform his London colleague and
his Government at once of the differ
ence between the written report of the
Belgian attorney for the legation and
the facts."
LONDON, Oct. 28. It Is officially de
clared in London that the papers re
lating to the case of Miss Cavell were
published exactly as they were re
ceived from the Americ-.n Embassy
and, of course, after the consent of the
American Embassy had been obtained.
WOMAX SKNTEXCKD AT LIEGE
Ieath PeniUty prdered for Nine
Rclgians for Espionage.
AMSTERDAM, via London, Oct. 27.
Anna Benzet, of Verviers, Belgium, was
sentenced to death by a German court-
martial at Liege Monday.
This woman was one of nine persons
convicted by the courtmartial. Seven
were Belgians, and the others French.
Four were sentenced to death, and the
others were condemned to trms of 10 to
15 years in prison. The charge brought
against them "was of having collected
information useful to the French gov
ernment, for which it was intended.
The sentences of death have not yet
been carried out.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 27. Acting on
representations of the Belgian Minis
ter to the United States, Secretary
Lansing has instructed Ambassador
Gerard at Berlin to use his good of
fices, if the circumstances warrant, in
behalf of the 30 or more persons sen
tenced to death by the German court
martial at Liege for espionage and
treason. The appeal in behalf of the
condemned persons was made directly
to Secretary Lansing.
MEKCY TO WOMKX RUMORED
Spanish Minister Hoars Sentences
Will Be Commuted.
MADRID, via Paris. Oct. 27. The
Marquis de Lema, Minister of Foreign
Affairs, announces that he has received
information which leads him to believe
that death sentences imposed on women
in Brussels will be commuted.
Aside from Miss Edith Cavell, the
British nurse who was shot recently in
Belgium, the names of only two other
women who were condemned to death
have become known. They are the
Countess Johanna de Belleville, a Bel
gian, .and Mile. Louise Thulier,
French school teacher. A dispatch from
London on October 22 said Emperor
William had notified King Alfonso of
Spain that he had pardoned these two
women.

SATURDAY IS BIG NIGHT
HAtLOWEEK FESTIVITIES TO

RF..
Ancient Ceremonies Consisted of Llaht
tna; Bonfires and Belief General
Ghosts Walked Abroad.
Halloween, or All-Hallows eve, wili
be observed generally In Portland on
Saturday night instead of the day fol
lowing, because the last 'day of the
month falls on Sunday this year. There
will be innumerable parties through
out the city, dances and merrymaking
in honor of the festival, which is an
established event in social life here as
elsewhere.
Halloween festivities date back to
the time of the Druids, the ancient
ceremonies consisting In the lighting of
bonfires and the belief was general that
night ghosts and witches walked
abroad. On or" about November 1 the
Druids held their Autumn festival and
lighted fires in honor of the sun god
as a sign of thanksgiving for the har
vest. On the eve of this harvest It
was thought that Saman, lord of death,
called together the wicked souls that
during the past twelvemonth had been
condemned to inhabit the bodies of ani
mals. Onto the Druidic ceremonies were
grafted some of the features of the
Roman festival in honor of Pomona,
held about the first of November, in
which nuts and apples, as representing
the "Winter store of fruits, played a
prominent part. In medieval England
the roasting of nuts and biting apples
floating in a tub of water were pop
ular sports with the children on this
occasion, a custom that survives to this
day.
Various superstitions cling to Hal
loween. One is that a child born on
that day will, throughout his life, be
on more familiar termawith the spirits
than one born at any otlrer date.

STEEL RATE MAY DROP
PORTLAND PLAXTS ASK ROADS FOR
PABRICATIOX-IN-TRAKSIT PRICE.
Saving of Local Freight Charge Will
Be Effected If Lines Decide to
Grant Concession.
Steel plants operating in Portland
and other points in the Pacific North
west probably will get a fabrication-in-transit
rate on structural steel from
Lastern points, effective about De
cember 1. -
Freight traffic officials of the North
western terminal lines conferred at
Seattle, on Tuesday with representa
tives or the Chamber of Commerce of
Portland. Seattle and other points on
tha request of the steel men for this
concession. The carriers seem dis
posed to grant it, and it is probable
that the tariffs will be published soon.
The railroads recently granted a
similar concession to the steel plants
at Minneapolis and other Middle West
ern points. Under this arrangement
the Northwestern steel mills the prin
cipal ones are at Portland will be
enabled to secure the raw .structural
steel from the Eastern mills, unload it
here, fabricate it and send it to its
final destination on a rate of 55 cents
per 100 pounds from point of origin
to a point of final destination.
Under existing conditions the steel
people are required to pay the 55-cent
rate to Portland and the local rate
from Portland to destination. Obvious
ly, the proposed arrangement would
save for the steel plants the cost of the
local rate.
At the same conference the carriers
took under consideration the request of
J. t. Lothrop, traffic manager for the
Portland Chamber of Commerce, that
proposed changes of rates be communi
cated to the commercial bodies of the
Northwest before they are filed with
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
It is argued that this will enable the
carriers and the shippers to get to
gether and harmonize their differences
on rates without taking their cases be
fore the Commission. . .
