14 THF MORNING OREGONIAN, MONDAY. AUGUST 21, 1922 LUMBER BUSINESS NEEDS GARS BADLY Trade in Northwest Is Hit by Shortage. fll mmmw III IBM. STEEL WORKS I U LIIU1IIUL. UI.UI U SEVERAL MILLS CLOSED Sonif Mill Owners Itpfuse to Ac cept More Orders I'ntil Pres ent Ones Arc Filled. The shortage of cars is havin bad effect upon the lumber business of the northwest, has caused sev eral mills of Washington to shut down and has given- Oregon manu facturers some fear of loss of busi ness. In some cases mill owners have refused to accept more orders than they now have on their books be cause of difficulty in filling the orders. Reports are that some mills are two months behind in shipping orders. In the east, where the build ing season is not as prolonged as in the west, because of weather condi tlons, this delay in deliveries is caus ing retailers and wholesalers a great deal of anxiety. They are. in some instances, unable to supply their customers with the materials that are required. .Strikes Partly Blamed. This condition as regards ears can largely be attributed to the strikes that have beer, started by the shop men and other railroad employes. In the east more difficulty is being experienced by the railroads in get ting out their equipment with inex Derienced employes than in the northwest. It Is exceedingly difficult to ob tain sufficient flat cars to meet tne needs of the lumbermen. Box cars are more' numerous, but involve Kreater cost in loading and are therefore less acceptable. The fact that the harvesting o crops is at its height and is requir ing a large amount of railroad equipment also is having its effect. Hundreds of cars that might other wise be available for the lumbermen are now going to the wheat-shipping centers. ' All Grades la Demand. Orders for all grades of lumber continue to come into the offices of the manufacturers of the northwest. They are arriving from all parts of the United States. A portion of these orders is being rejected be cause the manufacturers already have more business than they can handle under present conditions. . The demand for the upper grades of lumber is particularly keen and has caused a strengthening of the market. While there is a big de mand for upper grades, the com mon stocks have piled up in the yards and are awaiting customers. The log shortage, brought about by the forest fires, has been respon sible for cutting down the supply of upper grades and the consequent in crease in lower grades. Due to the low supply of logs in storage ponds, timbers that ordinarily would not be cut have been run through the mills. These have turned out a big amount of common material and also short dimensions that do not find a ready market at this time. The forest fire situation has ad justed itself to the satisfaction of i the loggers and lumbermen, due to weather conditions. Gangs that had been fighting fire instead of getting out logs have returned to ttieir tasks in the woods and are being pushed hard to catch, up with the demands for logs. xport Lumber In Demand. Th demand tar export lumber for J&ftaM mad oier countries is in creasing slowly. It would appear that the Japanese, after a long period of inactivity, which caused the wholesalers much anxiety, have come back into the market for "squares." Orders are continually being taken by wholesalers for delivery to Australia, New Zealand, the west coast of South America and to other points. The middle west, which for a long time has been practically out of the market, due to agricultural conditions, has started to buy in earnest. Tlhis is due to the 'fact that crops are being harvested and that the farmers are obtaining money with which to make long delayed improvements. This de mand will grow stronger unless prices reach a point where the larmer cannot afford to buy. ,1 Homes Are Beirut Built. Industrial centers continue to call Jor large volumes of lumber, which is not only" going into manufactur ing plants, but Into homes for em ployes. During the first part of the cur rent year the lumber industry in the northwest was not in a flourishing condition. The market was slow and many mills were closed. After a time these conditions improved and were it not for car shortages and other unavoidable conditions every mill in the entire northwest areas would be turning out lumber to capacity. So far this year more lumber has been produced in the northwest than during the entire period of 1921. With more than four months to go it is safe to predict more lumber will be manufactured in the northwest in 1922 than in any previous year, if conditions do not change. TODAY'S FILM FF.ATIRKS.

THERE is something interestingly different in pictures at the Majestic theater this week. It is the ticklesome tale of a near flapper who tried to be futuristic, exposing herself to thrilling ad ventures with short-haired women and long-haired men of the artistic "bunkerhill" type. The feature is "Bobbed Hair," in which Wanda Hawley has the stellar role. Wanda was tired of her prosaic lover. She craved romance. Then she sought it along .fascinating shores, going to one of those "col ony" places and dolling herself in sandals and Grecian draperies. wfll be awarded in accordance with the amount of applause elicited dur ing the week. Saturdav and yester day an attractive blonde in a nifty rig and bearing the supposedly un lucky number of 13.-easly walked away with tha applause honors of the two days. It is a good flapper stunt and is being enthusiastically received. Special Theater Concerts. The Rivoli theater concert or chestra, under the direction of Sal vatore Santaella, scored a succession- of hits yesterday. There were no popular numbers on the pro gramme, and no selections from re' cent musical comedy hits. The lat ter always scored immensely, and It is to be regretted that they are be Ing omitted. The programme in full was: "Capriccio Espagnole" (caprice on Spanish themes), N. Rimsky-Kor- Jsakoff, op. 34; (a) Alborada. (b) Va riations, (c) Scene and Gypsy Song, (d) Fandango of the AsturiasT In termezzo Pittoresque," J. Kocian op. 18: "Gloriana" Selection, Rudolf Friml; "Prelude" (to act II of the opera "Cyrano"), Walter Damrosch; "Valse Bluette" (air- de ballet), R. Driego; "Der Geist Des Wojewoden (overture), L. Grossman. Although not Scotch, the writer joined the "Bit o' Scotch" party at the Liberty theater yesterday, and can easily appreciate the decided popularity of the Keates contesta - t , pupuiiti iiy wi me ivra tea v-viilcold. Quickly she got "new thought, and Tnose scotch songs, and particularly new 'ideas of personal freedom to go with her scanty attire. And then she got an awful jjolt! Just when she was about to swoon in the arms of her "super-he" hero, who had swept her off her feet with his tremendously moving poetic rav ings, in trotted the vanguard of an irate remainder of the family and it developed that tthe man who put into artistic practice Barnum's flat tering remark that the public liked to be fooled was very much mar ried and everything! Wanda quickly returned to nor malcy, and she thanked her stars to be able to be just an old-fashioned girl, finding infinitely more love and happiness with a real man than a wobbly he-flapper! , ' I V i onlanrlM ut fvr Tiro a nrritran ri Hector Turnbull, an author trained to the screen. The titles were equally as mirth-provoking as tWe comedy situations. It was directed by Thomas N. Heffron. The scenic shots for the background were beautiful, being- shot, if the writer is not greatly mistaken, at charm ing Carmel-by-t he-Sea, in Califor nia. Miss Hawley does excellent work. She looked particularly Bweet and fetching in the abbreviated cos tume of the colony. Although not technically the leading man, the work of William P. Carlton inevi tably put him in second place to the star. He assuredly made the most of everything that the part offered him. In addition to the feature Man ager Lacey has staged this week a 'Bobbed Hair" beauty contest. Fif teen girls are appearing. The prizes one of them, were "facers." Paul Noble, the manager, worked hard to get voliinteer soloists, and Henri Keates, at the organ, was very pa tient and helpful. He had to change tho key of the various numbers so much it is a wonder he didn't get dizzv and try to play the treble with i his feet. The writer is expectantly waiting for an Irish Sunday, and a Spanish one. and one devoted to the war songs- that used to make us blue in France and wish that the enemy might kill the writers of some of them. v During the concert proper Mr. Keates scored an emphatic hit with his , playing of the "Tales From Hoffman." , - Screen Gossip. Gus Metzger, general manager of the Rivoli, has received word from Guy Bates Post regretting his in ability to appear in person during the showing o his pictur "The Masquerader" at that theater next week. The star is busily at work in Hollywood on another Tully fea ture. "The Masquerader" is scoring a tremendous hit in New York now. Portland will be the second city in the country to see it. Despite a generally light attend ance yesterday, House Peters in "Human Hearts" managed to draw capacity to the Columbia theater, where this big Universal feature is continuing its run. This is the great est screen effort of the star, who has a long string of successes to his credit. Pacific Coast Shipping Xotes. SEATTLE. Wnsh.. Au. 20. Repairs o the bow of the stPamer H. F.

Aborigine Declares He Knows Where Early Supply of Vir- gin Gold AVas Obtained. GOLDBNDALE, Wash., Aug. 20. (Special.) The secret of the loca tion of the Lost Spaniard mine for which search has been conducted by Klickitat people was foffered for saie this week at Goldcndale by Charles Wannassie, aborigine from Toppenish, Wash. The mine Is sup posed to be located in the heart of the Cascade mountains at the head of the Lewis river in the- wild, al most Inaccessible territory between Mount Adams and Mount St. Helens. It is supposed to have been discov ered by a Spaniard about the time that the Klickitat valley was first settled by homesteaders. Many old timers say they have seen and con versed with the Spaniard who used to come through the valley, on h's way to The Dalies with a string of pack mules loaded with virgin gold. Many unsuccessful efforts were made to discover tire source of his go'd supply. The Spaniard who dis appeared many years ago was thought to have been massacred by Indians who also knew of the min It is a fact that during the early settlement of the central Washing ton country virgin gold was brought into the stores at Goldendale. Yaki ma and Ellensburg by Indians and exchanged for provisions and cloth ing but none of the Indians ever were induced to disclose the source of supply. Wannassio is not a Yakima Indian but claims to have learned the secret from a very old member of the tribe just prior to his departure to the Happy Hunting Ground not long ago., Wannassie is an educated Indian and attended school in Illi nois. He is about 60 years old: and drives a big automobile. He says he owns valuable reservation land near Toppenish. His etory does not diifer from legends concerning the mine, except that he says the gold will be. found in decomposed porphyry, a rock that crumbles easily and will permit of complete separation of. the gold without much effort- He offers to pilot to the mine anybody who will put up a cash deposit on a basis of "no mine, no pay." In addition to the construction of the south half of the , 250-foot dock which has just been, completed by the Willamette Iron & Steel works at Its plant on the lower west side to facilitate tine direct transfer of raw materials from steamers to its plant, officials of that concern an nounced yesterday that they have under way an extension of the main boiler shop, which will greatly in crease the output of that depart ment. The new dock has also just been fitted with an, additional 15-ton crane, making in all tlhree .dock cranes for handling cargo. These Include a shear legs crane of 75-ton capacity and a 20-ton locomotive crane, besides a lo-ton derrick crane. Trnekajie Also Installed. P-.ilway trackage connecting the dock with the tracks of the termina company has also been installed The increasing amount of steel and other supplies cmonig to the plant by water necessitated the comple tion of the dock, it was declared. The extension to the main boiler shop, construction on which is now under way, will give an additional 50 feet by 100 feet to the . boiler shop. This addition will make, the bay of the boiler shop 100 feet wide and more than 500 feet long. It-was announced that the exten sion was made necessary because of Increased volume in the business of the Willamette Iron & Steel com pany. The new space will be used part for additional automatic plate fabricating machinery, which win be installed this fall. Extension Costs $14,000. - The plate and boiler shops of the company are now occupied with plate work for public utilities and municipalities of the northwest, ac cording to officials. This includes work for the Washington Water Power company of Spokane, the Pa cific Power & Light company, the Northwestern Electric company and the Portland , Railway, Light & Power company of this city. The extension to the dock, it was announced yesterday by E. C. Pape, vice-president of the company, cost about $14,000 and the extension to the boiler shop will cost about $60, 000. The boiler shop, Mr. Pape said, will be eauinoed with the latest tvDe of machinery for the handling of iron and steel work. He estimated that the work would be completed In about six weeks. GEORGIAX'A IS CHARTERED J comes by way of American corapos- and serious compositions. Besides various stringed Instru ments they play the piano, saxo phone and trombone and their play ing in concert' is especially good. The novelty of the act and the de lightful music combined to make it the treat of the bill. Agnes Johns is one of the most entertaining comediennes who comes to the Portland theaters, and she has played in -all of the best of them at one time or another. She is particularly well known along this coast, where she has appeared in stock and in vaudeville and with her own companies." On this occa sion she. brings a new sketch, "Green Eyes and Moonshine," which has a good plot, interesting devel opments, plenty of comedy and an excellent role for the clever Miss Johns. , The act put on by Merle and New ton is a diverting one and the acme of originality. Among their novel, dances the two offer a clever, new arrangement of the Bowery glide. The girl in this act Is very pretty and young. : Donna Lynn sings character sotigs and invests them with histrionic charm as well as vocal appeal. She is a talented girl and her offerings are distinctly new and refreshing. Opening the bill is a startling array of ring work and gymnastics put across smartly by Dell, Beattie and Dell, one ofwhom is a youthful and attractive girl. Part of their act is a demonstration of the laws of gravitation, which provides much real entertainment. The picture on the new bill is "From the Ground Up," featuring Tom Moore In a thrilling story of the rise of one man. TRIAL DF 14 TO RESUME STRIKERS' DEFENSE TO AT TACK COXTEIPT CHARGES.

Wash., Aug. 20. (Spe cial.) Marriages performed in the state of Washington between July 1, 1921, and January I, 1922, totaled less than four times the number of divorces granted in the same period, according to records gathered from every county in the state and com piled into a condensed statement by J. S. Mcintosh, deputy commissioner of the bureau of statistics and im migration in the office of J. Grant Hinkle, secretary of state. There were 16,708 marriages per formed In the six months and 4439 divorces granted by the state courts in the same period. King county led the procession of counties both in marriages and divorces and had a much greater percentage of the latter than any other county in the state, having practically one divorce for every two marriages. Pierce county showed a comparatively high marriage record, but a low di vorce record. Clarke county, with Vancouver as the "Gretna Green" for Portland, ranked second only to King county in the number of mar riages, but the divorce record was extremely low. The figures quoted do not include 170 interlocutory- de crees, of which 163 were in Pierce county, nor one annulment in Clarke county. Railroad Shop Situation Remains Quiet, With Employes Adapt ing AVaiting Attitude. Trial of the 14 raUroad shop work efs facing charges of contempt will be resumed in federal court before Judge Wolverton at 10 o'clock this morning and is expected to be con cluded before the end of the week. Thus far the defense has presented testimony bearing on movementsand activities of three of the accused men on the afternoon of August 1, when -the injunction order of the court is alleged to have been vio lated. This testimony has all been in the nature of alibis for Defend ants James E.- Getty, Conrad Brill and Errill C. Gesca. Public interest in the trial lagged the latter part of last week, but may increase as the defense takes up the burden of atterrrpting to clear gome of the remaining defendants. With respect to some of these, how ever, identification by agents and employes of the O.-W. R. & N. rail road may not prove sufficient. In certain cases identification rests en tirely upon testimony of W. R. Ladd, superintendent of the Albina shops. The strike situation in Portland territory remains quiescent. The striking employes have adopted a waiting attitude, seemingly content to be governed by decisions and ef forts of their leaders in the east. Meanwhile the railroad officials maintain that their working forces are amply sufficient to take care, of all requirements. A shortage of cars for loading, temporarily threatened, seems to have been overcome. Suc cess of the roads in this matter is something of a reverse for the strikers, who have held secret hopes that lack of irst-class equipment and motive power might force the railroads to terms. - Obituary.

Doctor Charles Heinroth Takes Well-Deserved Vacation. QUEBEC. Dr. Charles Heinroth, who presides at the big organ at the Carnegie institute, sailed from Quebec for Europe June 27 on the Canadian Pacific Empress of Scot land for a long ana well-deserved vacation.
