MILLS SPEEDING UP
Lumber Output for Week Ex
ceeds Normal.
SHIP TIMBER CUT IS HUGE
Operators Are Making Every Effort
to Sleet Demands of Govern
ment By-Prod net Going
Into Cantonments.
Lumben production In mills of the
Northwest passed beyond normal fig
ures in the past week, according to
compilations reported in the regular
bulletin of the West Coast Lumber
men's Association. Records of 128
mills show an aggregate cut of 78,589,
283 feet, while the normal average
has been 78,380,000 feet.
Demands of the Government for ship
timbers and airplane materials have
been an Important factor in speeding
production in the fir and spruce plants.
Both operators and workmen In the
mills and camps are making every
effort to produce the quantity of upper
grade lumber the Government requires.
They are never behind In theln deliv
eries of ship timbers and are making
steady progress toward meeting the
increasing needs for aircraft stock.
By-Product Goea Fast.
As a by-product of the ship and air
plane material the mills have cut a
quantity of so-called common lumber
which now la being sent east in large
quantities for the construction of Army
cantonments. Nearly half of the mate
rial required for the Improvements at
Camp Grant, near Rockford, 111., al
ready has been shipped. The full order
aggregated approximately 24,000,000
feet.
Advices from Washington, D. C, ad
monish the mlllsi to hold themselves In
readiness to make prompt deliveries of
large additional quantities of canton
ment stock. A delay of a few weeks
has been necessary in placing these or
ders to permit a revision of plane) that
will call for even a greater amount
than contemplated by the last previous
reports, which had called for a total
of 100,000,000 feet.
- The new Army, soon to" be called Into
service, will require additional bar
racks for which the West Coast mills
must furnish material.
Huge Orders Expected.
Orders for many million feet of fir
lumber for Government refrigerator
cars also are in immediate prospect.
Demands from commercial sources
continue in good volume. New busi
ness for the week aggregated 63,802,653
feet an Increase of more than 7,000,
000 feet over the previous week, and
an excess of more than 25,000,000 feet
over the corresponding week of a
year ago.
Car supply continues .normal, the
week's summary indicates. Total ship
ments for the week were 1846 cars, but
the mills etill have a balance of 7933
cars of unfilled orders on their books.
On account of the activity In local
bunding operations, the demand for
lumber In the territory adjacent to the
mills continues brisk. Orders for the
week were 9,043,870 feet.

FREE RIDES ARE ILLEGAL
Public Service Commission Rules
Against Property Owners.
SALEM, Or., Aug. 16. (Special)
Free transportation on railroads can
not be given to property owners as a
part of the compensation for land tak
en over by the road as right of way.
Public Service Commissioner Corey to
day advised Lieutenant Henry K. Nor
ton, of the headquarters right of way
department for the Government forces
building the new railroad on Yaquina
Bay. Lieutenant Norton states that a
number of the property owners refuse
to deal in right of way matters with
out being guaranteed the issuance of
a free pass.
Senator Opposes Secretary Baker's Re
ported Attitude In Favor of
Exempting Husbandn.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Aug. 16. Senator Chamberlain,
chairman of the committee on military
affairs, is strongly opposed to the plan
of Secretary of War Baker to make
the marriage relation In itself consti
tute grounds for a deferred classifica
tion. That plan on the part of the
Secretary was announced through the
press at the conclusion of his recent
conference with the committee.
The meeting of the committee was
behind closed doors, so it Is not known
whether the Secretary so expressed
himself to the Senators, but It is proba
ble he did not, for when Senator Cham
berlain was asked today what the at
titude of the committee Is likely to ft
if that question is raised, he said:
"I can hardly credit the report that
Secretary Baker advocated giving all
married men a deferred classification.
They do not have a deferred classifi
cation now, and there is no reason why
they should.
"So far as relationship Is concerned,
the question of dependence should de
termine whether a man shall be given
deferred classification. To establish
the policy attributed to Secretary Baker
would very largely defeat the purpose
of the extension of the draft age
limits."
