ALL YARDS ARE CONGESTED Ml nation Appears AVorfc Around Pugrl Sound and Grays Harbor Mills at Aberdeen, and Krrr elt Cease Operations. Despite rerent reassurlna statement of railroad traffic men. the lumber in dustry of Western Oregon and West ern Washington la faring a serious predicament because of ear shortages. This is the conclusion drawn by offi cials of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association from data gathered in canvass of the situation. Almost every district in the territory west of the Cascades report being ef fected by Ihe ahortasre. The situation seems worst around Puget Sound and "Jrays Harbor. One mill at Aberdeen, " ash.. Is closed and one at kverett. Wash., Is about to close, the reports show, because unable to get the cars needed lo move their output. I nlil a few days ago the mills along the Southern Pacific in the Willamette Kivcr Valley were gettitng fairly good car service, hut tbey are found to be suffering; now In common with the others. The survey of the situation by the West Coast Lumbermen's Asso ciation reveals that several important plants'' will -be forced to close soon un less relief Is forthcoming. Other dis closures ol tne survey nave oeen aum- marized by the association in the statements which follow-! Several mills report that they are short of piling space and that unless thrv are able to move some of their stock without further delay they will have to close for want of room. Portland Mills Are ihert. There is not a mill along thf Colum bia, on Wlllapa Harbor. Ways Harbor or Puget ound that has enough cars. One mill on the Lower Columbia, with a requirement of 3 cars per week above It Government movement, report-, an avernge of only 11 cars per week. One or the biggest mills in Portland reports a receipt of only two cars a day to handle It commercial order.' Its normal requirements are four or five cars. Another Portland mill advises the receipt of car enough to handle only one-fourth of its busi ness. Mill at Hoquiam and Aberdeen com plain quite generally. In addition to the one plant at Aberdeen that was forced to close, other report that they are crowding their yards with little hoe of relief unless they can get cars. One of Ihe biggest mill in Tacoma was compelled a few weeks ago to re fuse an order from an important cum tomer In Pennsylvania because it could not get the car. The situation at Kxerett and Bellingham Is a repetition of conditions elsewhere In Western Washington. It will be only a matter of time until we will be forced to close." say one of the big Seattle producers. A Puget Sound mill writes. "We need fully five cars a day to handle our side lumber, but during the past month we have had only 31 cars." A mill In Southwest Washington re ports: "We are operating on one side only, owing to lack of car." Washington Plaats Affected. Also from Southwest Washington: In the last two weeks car have be come very scarce and we are receiving practically nothing. L nless steps are aken by the Government to give us mmediate relief, it will be only a short Ime until we are compelled to shut down. Kroin Grays Harbor comes the report: Lack of cars Is our chief complaint. 'nder normal conditions we use three or four cars daily and at the present ime we are not getting half that num ber." A Portland mill writes: "Unless we et cars in the next two weeks we will have to close." Krom a Lower Colum- ia Klver mill comes the following word: "Our mill was closed one day last week for lack of cars. We may be forced to close indefinitely soon rom a Willamette Valley mill: "The hicf trouble we have had has been lack of cars." Other mills report vary- ng degrees of distress and difficulty n getting equipment. The constant accumulation of stock leads directly to another very serious problem, the Increasing amount of cap iat that Is tied up In the plant. Many mills report that they are required to carry an investment almost 10U per cent above normal, merely on account f the abnormal accumulation of stock Stetson Hats, $5 and $6 Manhattan Shirts, $2 to $12 Think of These Things When Yon Bny Spring Clothes.

Selection of a man to head the new tatc police, authorized under the J2G0. nO deficiency appropriation of the Emergency Boarc, is the most im portant phase ot the situation Just at present. Governor Withycombe said to ny. The appointment will be made by the Governor, but it will be made on the recommendation of the general staff. "It is of prime importance that the tate get the most efficient man pos ibie as commanding officer of this force." said the executive. The man who is selected will have supreme com mand ns directing head of the opera tions of the force, working, of course, in conjunction with the executive of fice and the greneral staff. But as to the handling of the force itself he will be sole and directing head. "There will be no delay in getting plans for the organization of the force under way. "Just how the personnel of the en listed men will be made up I am unable to say at this time, no discussion hav ing arisen as to whether enlistments will be asked for or whether the force will be picked in some other manner. But however it is obtained it is the purpose to obtain a force of effective men who will be able to handle the situation to the best possible - ad vantage." Some question has arisen as to how the money will be available under the deficiency appropriation, or, rather, as to where the money is to come rrom. Certificates of indebtedness will be is sued by the state under deficiency ap propriations of the Emergency Board, and these certificates will be taken up by banks, which will either receive payment through provision of the Leg islature or passage by the people of an initiative bill creating a fund for military purposes.
