16, TITE MORXIXG OREGOXIAX, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1922 STOCKS OF LUMBER low PON Demand for All Northwest Grades Is Strong. CAR SITUATION IS BAD Eh ingle Manufacturers AVho Suf fered From Canadian Competl i tion Again Make Profit. There is a strong demand from all sections for all grades, of lumber that the big mills of the northwest are now producing. Yard stocks were never as low in years as they' - have now falien, The car situation, which has been more or less of a problem to some of the manufacturers, is still "spotted." In the larger centers - such as Portland the mills ate hav ing little difficulty in obtainlni enough cars to supply their de anands. Grain shipments from east ern Oregon and Washington com- ing into Portland arereleasing large numbers of cars and these are being diverted to tlje mills for lumber shipping purposes: On the branch lines, such as the Tillamook branch oi me soutnern .facmc, i-ue miua are having a more difficult problem to solve. They are not able to od tain enough cars to meet their needs. Cochran Plant to Open, Two weeks ago the mill of C. H. Wheeler Lumber company at Coch ran was forced to suspend opera tions because of a lack of cars. With this concern, however, conditions have more or less adjusted them eelves and the plant will open today with a full crew. Several months ago the manu facturers were bewailing the fact that the demand for common lumber was slack. In their yards thou sands of feet of common material were daily piling up. There was little demand from those sections that as a general rule absorb the output of low grade lumber. Now conditions are reversed. There is a constant demand for common lum ber and the big supply that piled up in the yards has for the most part been moved out. The agricultural districts have been in the field for large volumes of lumber and they have taken a big percentage of the common grade supply. Heavy Timbers In Demand. Demands for heavy structural timber are now heavy. They come for the most part from Chicago and like manufacturing towns where new factories are going up and -where heavy wood structural work is required. Demands for Japanese "squares' has been particularly heavy until a week ago, when buying almost ceased. The reason for the Japanese going out of the market is due to the fact that freight rates have been high and that the increased demand for all grades of lumber has shoved up the prices to the point wh$re the orientals feel that they cannot buy. It is evident that the prices will not be lowered with con ditions of demand as they are and it wMll not be long until the Jap anese are back in the market for "squares." Orders Booked Far Ahead. I The purchasers of lumber are having a serious time in many cases in placing their orders. Many of me muis now have sufficient orders on their books to insure full onera- riion ior some length of time. Pur chasers are reluctant to olace or ders too far ahead when they are not sure what changes in prices are going to Be made in the future. The southern California market is now as good as it ever was. The demand from Los Angeles and San Diego has been characterized as "tremendous." These points have aosorDea a great deal of Oregon lumoer to carry on the buildine cam paigns being experienced through out the southern end of the state. ne rail trade to California ha tieen a little slow, due to the fact that- the eastern lumber market is dominating prices. For a long time the California market practically ouiumaiea prices on northwest lum tmi. mai time tne east was purcnasing most of its suddIv from oouthern pine areas and there was uumuu ai an ior creero-n rr Washington lumber on the Atlantic coast. Now there is a big volume or lumDer going to the Atlanti coast and this, coupled with the eastern demand and that of the middle west, is having a tendency to take away from California the position me state has long held in nominating prices. Shingle Demand Good. There is a big demand for shingles at the present time. With the de mand for lumber continuing to grow larger, an Increased demand -v.. u... ctcuju naturamy loilow. Prices are held to be at a figure where the manufacturers can make a profit. This is a vastly different situation than has existed for some itme ior tne sningie manufacturers. -rur a long time, on account of vnao.ian competition, the shingle manufacturers of the northwest have had "hard sledding." Now conditions seem to be on the up grade. Some of the shingle mills have been forced to close down on ac count of a shortage of cedar logs. This has been due to the fact that logging was set back considerably on account of the forest fires that took men from the camps. In a short time the loggers -will be turn ing out their regular output of logs and the mills will be able to resume operations. Land Plaster Tse Grows. LA GRANDE, Or., Sept. 10 (Spe cial.) The use of land plaster, al though introduced only about five years ago, in Union county is rap idly growing, several carloads hav ing been ordered for next year by local farmers. From S3 to 50 per cent, better yields of alfalfa result from the use in the Grand Ronde valley. Centralia Enrolls 2082. CENTRALIA, Wash.. Sept, 10 (Special.)

JAMES Oliver Curwood's cele brated story, "The Valley of Sijent Men," is the current fea ture attraction at the Majestic theater. Alma Rubens is the under scored player. She has an excellent supporting cast, including Lew Cody. It was directed by Frank Borzage, of "Humoresque" and "The Good Provider" fame. "The-Valley of Silent Men" is a virile, pulsating drama of the great northwest, where honor is ever triumphant in the battle of the strong men and worth-while women. It is a, story of a noble sacrifice, which boomer- anged in a tragiq. manner, bringing disaster so near that it literally changed the lives of three persons. Truckee, Cal.,- did not supply the 'great northwest" locations for this excellent feature. The action was actually photographed in the Can adian Rockies. The various scenic shots are magnificent. Curwood's noted novel, "River s End," was screened with pronounc edly successful results. "The Valley of Silent Men" is a bigger and bet ter production than the former. Lew Cody in this picture departs from his usual line of work. He gives a satisfying performance, but he does not completely measure up to the requirement of the role for which he is cast, tt may be the recollection of associating him with society heavies' that renders it difficult to appreciate him in a heroic part. However, he impresses one as not sufficiently virile Alma Rubens is not a much her- SOUTH SEA COTTON MM ENGLISH WANT TO RAISE PLANT IN AUSTRALIA. Object Is to Promote Emigration From Great Britain to Vacant Land in Antipodes. (By Chicago Tribune Leased Wire.) CHICAGO. Sept. 10. Investigation as to the possibility of growing cot ton on a large scale in Australia with white labor is the plan of a delegation of distinguished English citizens who passed through Chicago today en route to San Francisco. The delegation, headed by Crompton Wood, of Smith Rathbone & Co., In cludes H. C. Armstrong, managing director of the Australian Cotton Growers' association, Harold Park er, managing director of William Calvert & Sons, Richard Harding and W F. Ashcroft. Mr. Wood explained the object of the trip. "The whole thing is really an attempt to encourage emigration to Australia," he said. "It may seem that with white labor, costs of pro-"H duction will be far too high for competition with other cotton-pro ducing countries, but until the boll- weevil l finallv Yt arm in a l fmm I America the price of cotton always will be maintained at the present high figure and we have hopes of producing at that price in Aus tralia." Mr. Wood praised the attitude of American cotton men toward the delegation. "I did not expect that your cotton men would be so willing to tell possible competitors about their methods and business." he said. "I have been amazed at their willingness to give advice and their real helpfulness. It has been a most pleasant experience." The delegation will arrive in San Francisco September 19.

Eight hundred tons of freight le be ing discharged here by the steamer Julia Luckenbaca o the Luckenbach, aided star, but in this production she has something with which to work, and she artistically makes the most of every opportunity. Curwood stories, however, are virtually actor-proof. They possess deep interest, finely-handled sus pensive elements, sweeping action, and logical, dramatic twists and surprises. These attributes of a capital pho toplay are all incorporated in "The Valley of Silent Men," which is the best attraction the Majestic has shown in some time. Screen Gossip.

The- largest ships the world will, ever know are on the water now, according to the opinion of P. H. Alcock, representative of the Journal of Commerce of Liverpool, who was In Tacoma yesterday get ting in touch with shipping here. There will be no more of the huge ships built, for it has been found they are not economical. said Mr. Alcock. "They are too costly to operate, their capacity is so great it is seldom a full cargo .can be secured at any one port, and few ports in the world are capable of handling the monsters. Vessels of from 10,000 to 30,000 tons will con tinue to be popular but the great 50,000-ton ships will go out." He said shipbuilding is at low ebb all over the world, but there is slightly more activity in England than in this country. ' Ship Reports by Radio. By the - Radio Corporation of America.

With Sjpft-coal production reaching satisfactory levels and with the hard-coal strike practically settled, interest in busi ness and financial circles has cen tered during- the last week in the extent of industrial recovery and the prospects for fall business. The steel industry, perhaps, the chief sufferer from the strikes, shows signs of improvement. The 50 per cent of capacity level of op erations to which the industry was reduced by the strikes has been bet tered slightly, and a further grain rs expected. With a continued restric tion of fuel and cair supplies, how ever, the trade is moderate in its anticipations. A return td a 60 per cent basisj this fall is considered more likely than a full recovery to the 75 per cent basis reached in the early sum mer. Opinions differ as to the prob able duration of existing higher steel prices, but most observers con sider six months an adequate allow ance. - Reports on the railroad traffic movement continue to be reasonably satisfactory. The latest available returns, those for the week ended August 26, show total loadings of 891,000 cars, a figure which tops the previous high record for the year by some 13,000 cars. Fisancial quarters meanwhile believe that the railroads are getting their shop sit uation better in hand and that the transportation difficulty will not be as serious as recently was believed. MEN TO WEAR HAIR NETS Threads of Henna in Sonp to Force New Fashion. By Chicago Tribune Leased Wire.) BALTIMORE, Mi, Sept. 10. Hair nets for men is the new vogue which is due soon to strike Balti more. Walter Strindtxrg, soda fountain clerk in one of the large downtown drug stores, sees it coming. "Women are cutting their hair off," he said today. "As a result managers of restaurants, where bobbed-hair girls wait at tables, are going mad trying to console patrons who find a little thread of henna in the soup. No use trying to convince a man it is a bit of corn silk. ,He knows better, and he's apt to raise h 1.

EVIDENCE FILLS 2 CARS Government Prepares to Prove Existence of Plot to Cripple Nation's Transportation. CHICAGO, Sept. 10. (By the As sociated Press.) With the arrival today of Harry M. Daugherty, attorney-general of the United States, the stage was set for the hearing in federal court tomorrow of the government's aoDlication for a per manent injunction against the strik ing railway shop crafts. John W. H. Grim, assistant attorney-general, accompanied Mr. Daugherty. They were preceded yesterday by Blackburn Esterline, assistant to the solicitor-general; Oliver E. Pagan, the government's indictment expert; and two car loads of evidence which, it was said, would be used in an ef fort to prove . a widespread con spiracy to cripple the nation's trans portation machine. Plot Charged Directly. The existence of sucTi a plot v.-as charged directly by the attorney- general when he obtained on Sep tember 1 what has been called the most sweeping temporary .injunc tion ever Issued in such a case. Union leaders have not only denied the existence of a conspiracy, but have demanded the vacation of the order against them' on the ground that the - government has failed to make out a case, that the Injunction is in violation of the Clayton act and that it was obtained -through misrepresentation for "ulterior and unlawful" motives. In the preparation for the gov ernment's battle to make the in junction permanent, federal agents were said to have collected evidence from all parts of the country, in cluding thousands of telegrams letters, photographs, blueprints and books, tools of violence end tran scripts of statements of some 17,000 individuals. ' All Evidence to Be leed. All of this evidence it was said by federal agents, will be used In an effort to show that since the strike began there have been 25 murders and that- 60,000 railroad cars have been tampered with and 14 railroad bridges xburned in the last 70 days. An effort will also be made, it was said, to show how much violence was directed and the details of plans " to broaden the scope of a campaign of terrorism as the strike progressed. Tomorrow's hearing will be before" Federal Judge James M. Wilkerson, who granted the temporary injunc tion. Representing the union lead ers and opposed to th brilliant p.r ray of government counsel will be Donald R, Richberg, a young Chi cago attorney and personal counsel of B. M. Jewell, head of the shop crafts. Mr. Jewell himself and John Scott, secretary-treasurer of the organization, according to early plans also will be in court. Govern ment agents intimated that if the two union leaders appeared they might be called to the witness stand by the government. Union Leaders Arrive. While a corps of federal agents were sorting over the government's evidence for the court hearing which is scheduled to open at 10:30 o'clock in the' morning, union lead ers from all parts of the country were arriving for a meeting of the shop craft policy committee of 90, which had been set to begin in an outlying hotel a half-hour earlier. The call for the meeting of the policy committee, which alone is empowered to' act on any peace pro posals, was sent out by Mr. Jewel last week, following his return from the east, where he was re ported to have had conferences with several railroad executives. Shortly after his return a meeting of offi cials representing some 30 railroads was held in- Chicago, but ad journed without making any public announcement. At the beginning of Its eleventh week the strike was estimated to have cost the men who walked out on July 1 more than tlOO.000,000 in lost wages. It was called following a decision of the United States rail road labor board, cutting the wages of the shop crafts employes ap proximately $50,00-0,000 a year. Two federal agents tonight were stationed at the home of Judge Wil kerson to prevent anjc outbreaks against him. The jwdge. it was aid. has received several threaten ing letters.

SOUTH BEND, Ind., Sept. 10. South Bend, as a community, spent today trying to bring about a quiet settlement of the Tiernan-Poulln paternity proof case out of court. But South Bend failed and late this evening Prosecuting Attorney Floyd Q. Jelllson and Professor and Mrs. John 1 P. Tiernan held a conference at which the finishing touches were put to the case which seeks to prove that Harry Poulin is the father of Mrs. Tiernan's ten-months-old child.

When Mrs. Augusta Tiernan, the woman spurned, takes the infant out of his basket, and holding him In her arms faces Harry Poulin and demands that he acknowledge the child as his own, it will not be a pretty scene. Nor will it help the town, the townspeople believe. The churches are taking a leading part in an effort to keep the case from coming to trial. But the prin cipals in the case are planning to appear in court Thursday. Attor neys for Harry Poulin Insist that no money settlement will be made out of court and declare their client is ready and willing to meet tho charges. -Mrs. Tiernan was less vehement today." Yesterday she demanded that "Harry Poulin walk up to my porch, look me in the eye and before wit nesses acknowledge he Is the father of my child." Today she modified her request, saying: "No, he doesn't have to come here. I might hit htm if he did. Let him acknowledge his paternity to my husband or to his attorneys." But even as the Tlernans admit the possibility of a settlement they are reinforcing their side by daily conferences with the prosecuting attorney, and the community of South Bend seems to have worked in vain to shield itself from sensa tional publicity.

Opposition to radicalism, antl the Americanization of foreign born in the United States is an announced programme of activity of the Amer lean Leclon. in the execution of which the leaders of the legion find a promising field ror consiruriive activity. That the, Americanism department of the legion and the organiza tion's 11,000 posts throughout the country have a stupendous task ahead of them is thoroughly realized by the officers in charge. Surveys already made of the opportunities in various states have clearly Indicated that there is much to be done and brought the conviction that there is hard work ahead for many years to come. Reports of the preliminary sur veys have been coming into the legion national headquarters, a typi cal survey having been that received from William R. McCauIey. comman der of the Illinois department. "Our American people feel entirely safe and secure too much so for their own good." Commander Mc CauIey said in a etatement accom panying his report. "Some cold facts, bluntly administered, might wake them up to the conditions all about them. It is not generally realized that in Illinois there are more than 175.000 persons above the age of 10. years who cannot read or write the English language.
