It eio With little discussion the membcra of the Oregon and Washington Lumber Manufacturers Association yesterday rejected a proposal by M- C Banfleld. president of the Employers Araocla tlon. that the Indorsement of the Pan ama Exposition at Fan Francisco be made contingent upon the adoption of the "open shop- rule In the construc tion of the exposition building. George M. Cornwall, editor of the Tlmberman. presented the resolution Instructing the Oregon delegation In Congress to use It best endeavors In securing the approval of Congress. Mr. Banfleld at this point said that al though lie was cot a member of the association be desired to present an amendment to the resolution, adding the words, "providing that the build ings constructed are built under the rules of the 'open shop." Mr. Ban fleld said that It was essential that the buildings should be so constructed, and that if they were not the exposi tion would bo an Injury Instead of a benefit. Amendment Not Adopted. Mr. Banfleld' action was a surprise. There was a period of silence, which was broken by P. C. Knapp. of the Peninsula Lumber Company, who said that It would be a good idea "for the rook to catch the hare before cooking 1 L" jar. Knapp sola that he was not opposed to the Employers Association and that he believed that the American laborer should work for whom he (eased and the American employer should hire whom he pleased, but he said he thought San Francisco should get the exposition first and then con alder how It should be built. President Wentworth said It was the first time a labor question had been broached at a meeting of the assocla tlon and that there was a distinct rule against It- The original motion of air. Cornwall was then put and carried without runner reference to tht amendment of Mr. Banfleld. Aside from the election of officers. the most Important action taken by the ronvenuon yesterday was the Indorse ment of the plan to Join the Washing ton and the Pacific Lumber Associa tions to create a fund of I.S0.00O to ex ploit fir lumber In the markets of the .middle west, the East and the Orient. East Ignorant of Fir. K. D. Klngsley. of the West Portland Lumber Company, told of his meeting with the Joint committees at Chehalis of the two Washington associations ana sold that It was the conclusion that the work was absolutely neces sary for the development of the Indus try. He said that It was an established fact that builders, architects and con tractors In the Middle West were Ig norant of the good qualities of finished fir. lie knew of one case in Chicago where the chief engineer of a large contracting firm had never heard of the use of fir finished lumber in build ings. Mr. Klngsley believed that such was the experience of every man who had gone Into the East with a view of trying to market his finished product. He added that the lumber Industry In Oregon and Washington was on the decline and that new markets must be found. The output of the two states In 10 was 7.000.000.000 feet. In 10 the cut amounted to S.OVO.000.000 feet, a loss of r.OOv.000.000 feet. This, he thought, was due to two things the Increase In the freight rate and the lark of proper publicity. O. M. Clark, of Portland, told of a market to be found In Toklo. which had more wooden buildings than any other city in the world. A. C. Dixon told of one ear building company which last year bought 6t0.000.000 feet of lumber from Oregon almost half of the cut. lie said that It was about time to start a movement to Increase the trade. $30,000 Fund Favored. The association placed Itself on rec ord as in favor of raising Su.0u0. and requested Mr. Klngsley to meet and co-operate with the other associations and start as soon as they were ready to collect the funds. i-iyae a. Altchlson. state railway commissioner, prevented his view of rates and advocated a law for the es tabllhment of a test case Jointly by Washington and Oregon, tie cited In stances In which cars In Minnesota had been found to be overwelghed 7000 pound-. He directed attention to suits lor reduced rates on railways which were pending Id the Supreme Court of the United States, and believed that the association should assist In secur ing the necessary funds to employ counsel to assist In the cases. J. N. Teal, attorney for the Freight Bureau of the Association, and F. O. iKmaldson. manager of the Claims bu reau, made their reports. President Wentworth In bis annual report said: "When we look back over the year 111 we heave a sigh of relief, and hope that 111 will bring us something better than we have bad during the previous year. Nineteen hundred and ten started off fairly promising, and we were firmly of the opinion that prosperity had returned and we were again on the upward path. It did not take us long, however, to begin to feel , some doubts as to the return of pros fperlty. We did not know just what was , wrong, but It was quite evident that something was wrong. "In the states bordering, or adjacent to. the Pacific Ocean, we Haw- .vi.n.. of the most material prosperity that rrobably Is shown la any part of the ntted States. Oregon. Washington, Idaho. Montana and California have been developing very rapidly, and there I every reason to believe that this development work will Increase rather than decrease during the next few years. "Conditions In California were never tnere favorable for a liberal demand tot Oregon lumber than 1111 promises PRIZE-WINNIES AT CAT SHOW.

The meeting concluded with a ban quet and election of officers at the Commercial Club last night. Five directors were elected, as. fol lows: 8. B. Cobb (for short term). F. Young. C. K. Spaulding. E.

Chairman of Body Created by Last Legislature Replies to Sena . tor Bowerraan. PORTLAND, Jan. 20. (To the Edl tor.) In view of the attack made by Senator Bowerman upon the State Con servation . Commission in his message to the Legislative. It is but justice to the members of the commission and to the public that attention should be di rected to certain features of its work. Under a law passed by the last Legis lature creating a State Conservation Commission, its members were appoint ed by Governor Benson from members of a former Commission appointed by Governor Chamberlain. One thousand dollars was appropriated for its use. It is hardly necessary to say there Is no salary attached to the office or that none of the members of the commission sought the position. They accepted at the request of the Governor. Its mem bers are as follows: Professor F. G. Young, of the Uni versity of Oregon: Dr. J. R. Wilson, principal of the Portland Academy; C. B. Watson, of Ashland; Frank J. Miller, of Albany; J. N. Hart, of Baker; J. C. Stevens, of Portland; J. N. Teal, of Portland. In his message to the Legislature, Mr. Bowerman says the commission has ex pended . $5000 appropriated by the state with'n the last two years. This state ment is not correct. The facts are as follows: The state appropriated $1000. The amount expended by the commission to and Including December 31, 1910, Is $565.83. The balance on hand is $434.17. These facts are all of record. To charge the commission as a whole, or its members Individually, with doing anything to retard the development of the state is absurd. The commission has been animated by but one purpose, and that is, so far as. it has had the opportunity, to encourage the right and better use of the natural resources of the state, and to preserve and conserve them in the Interest of the whole peo ple, and not In the Interest of the few. Its printed and widely circulated decla ration of principles, as follows, states its position as clearly as words can: "Oregon is rich in oountless resour ces.. Upon them depend the wealth and growth of her people. ' "The fullest use or all these resour ces, now and always, is what every citizen wants, or ought to want. "Anything else means arrested de velopment, decreased prosperity, harder conditions of life for all." Another feature of the work of the commission is the educational cam paign that has betn carried on to Interest the young people of the state in the proper use of the state's resources and in their relationship toward them. The commission had placed in its hands OPEN EVENINGS by public-spirited citizens of this state, to be expended as they thought best, $1595. Of this sum there was expended for printing and other incidental ex penses $109.08. . There was awarded as prizes for com positions and essays to the school chil dren of the state $680. The subjects covered were "Irrigation," "Dry Farm ing." "Soils," "Roads," "Fish and Game" and "Forestry." Each of these sub jects Is of great importance to the peo ple of this state and one would be sur prised to see the thought and study given them by the school children. It is In work of this character that the greatest value of a commission lies. Whether the commission has served any useful purposes is not for me to say. However, it is well known that the commission preceding the present one was composed largely of the same members, and they took an active part in preparing and In the securing of the enactment of the water code by the Legislature. " The present commission has aided In the preparation of a bill for the pro tection of the forests of the state. In view of the fact that this state has ap propriated in the past two years but $500 for the purpose, and the National Forest Service has expended in the state during the year 1910 $150,000 for fire protection, and In view of the fur ther fact that our forests are one of our greatest . resources, it Is certainly time something was being done. This bill has received the approval of prac tically all organizations and persons Interested. The commission has also -prepared and submitted to the Legislature a bill making provision for a more rapid topographical survey of the state. This is a necessity If the state is to have the development its resources Justify. In conjunction with tne Oregon uon- aervatlon Association and the Agn cultural Department, the commission is now engaged in the preparation of a pamphlet for general dlstnouuon on "The Use of Oregon Woods." It Is costing some money, but the state Is not called on to pay one dollar toward It No member of the commission lias any apology or excuse to make for the stand the commission nas iacen io virds the nubile resources of this state. The commission filed annual reports of everything It-has done and its recom mendatlons and expenditures are a mat ter of record. Demands for these reports are con. stantly being received from over all the United States. These requests come from not only libraries and people In terested in conservation, but from engi neers, from the railroads and many Interests desiring to invest in this state. Through the data the commission has secured, it is able to be of consider able service in this direction. Only this week one of the presidents of one of the great railroad systems of this country requested. If possible, to have one of the reports Issued by the commission sent to each agent on the line of his road for use by them. If the work of the commission does not com mend Itself to the people, or If its work Is of no value. It should be abolished. Not a single member of the commis sion has any personal Interest to serve by remaining on the commission. Personally, I have rot the slightest 50,0O0 FOR j j PORTLAND, OREGON doubt but what the vast majority of the people of this state desire its great resources used, not only properly con served, and a State Conservation Com mission Is a very Important aid In this work. I believe, and have reason for my belief, that the people of this state have no sympathy with the Idea of throwing everything wide open, with the result experience shows will surely follow. In order that my position personally may not be misunderstood, I have no hesitancy in saying that I agree neither with the spirit nor the letter of Mr. Bowerman's message. I was born in this state and have perhaps as much Interest in Its development as Mr. Bowerman. I have been an ardent sup porter, and am now, of local self gov ernment. I, however, am not afraid of any Improper National control or inter ference. The kind of conservation the com mission stands for is represented ty the water code and the proposed forest law. Then when we get proper laws for the protection of our fish and game and other resources, with our educa tional institutions spreading the doc trine of wise use and proper conserva tion, the state as a whole will have a foundation on which the lasting pros perity of a contented people can be based. JOSEPH N. TEAL, Chairman. DAMAGE IS OVERESTIMATED Xoon Lumber Company to Hurry Re pairs to Benton County Plant. The damage done to the property ot the Noon Lumber Company at Philo math, Benton County, by the flood. Is not so great as was at first reported. The company lost its mill-dam, three railroad bridges and about 1000 feet of track. Immediate steps will be taken te re pair the railroad, and operations will be resumed as soon as possible. Counterfeit Bills Circulated. The Secret Service Department has sent out word of the circulation of a counterfeit $10 bill, a specimen of such expert workmanship that experienced handlers of money are deceived as to its genuineness. Stephen A. Connell, local secret service agent, yesterday re ceived a letter describing the bad bill that has just been discovered. The paper is a photo-engravure of a $10 note on the National Bank of Commerce of Wichita, Kan., and is of the series of 1882-1908. The bill is made of two pieces of paper pasted together and about the only difference between it and a genuine bill is that the silk threads are a little too thick and too long. There are a few deficient marks on the face of the bill' that betray the counterfeit, but they mlgrht only be no ticed by an expert looking for them. For dry fir and hardwood call E 303 and C 2303.

It Is the prescription for stomach trou bles that is creating such a furore in the medical profession on account of Its prompt and effective action. It is said to give immediate relief and if used for sufficient time wil cure the worst case of dyspepsia: "Two ounces essence of Pepsin; three ounces syrup of Ginger: one ounce Catandir com pound. Mix and take one to two tea- spoonfuls after each meal and at bed time." Catandir always conies put up in one ounce sealed packages. Any druggist should have It In stock by this time or he will quickly get it from his wholesale house. For best results mix the Pepsin and the Ginger, then let stand about an hour before adding the Catandir. It will be more con venient to get the ingredients from the druggist and mix them at home.
