THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN, PORTLAND, APRIL 23, 1916. LUMBER BUSINESS Oil NORMAL BASIS Growing Market Expected, but Overproduction Feared and v Operating Cost Higher. PROHIBITION EFFECT GOOD Croat Demand for Forest Products Likely to Continue for Rome " Years After War and Ocean TrafHc Will Swell Orders. f-nntinM'-rf From T"lrt Faer year, estimates show that this advance has not been in proportion with the ad vance in the cost of commdities enter ing into lumber production. The cost of labor has gone up; the cost of belt ing:, machinery and various other sup plies has increased sharply. On the other hand, while labor has cone up, a better average class of la borers now is available. The advent of prohibition has driven the shiftless, careless, unsatisfactory workmen out of the state and has left the field oc cupied solely by steady, industrious hands. But the logging operators and the mill operators are not due yet to be come millionaires on the volume of profits they are earning under present conditions. Margin of I'roflt Rentrlcted. Not that they are not satisfied with the situation as it is for they are in better condition than they have been at any time in more than nine years but their percentage of net earnings is not nearly so great as that of many of their neighbors in other lines of business. If the demand for forest products continues to grow, the market continues to improve and the industry continues to thrive, the people engaged in the lumber business soon will be in posi tion to recoup some of the losses that they have suffered in the last few years, but a precursory survey of the present source of demand reveals that the future is by no means secure. The foregoing statement is not In tended to dampen the spirit of the op timists but merely to warn those who are too sanguine. AH well-informed lumbermen know that tiie world now is offering an ab normal demand for wood. This is due to the high price of steel. The big teel mills are running overtime on war orders and are strengthening the prices on domestic material constantly. As a result, much construction work that ordinarily would be done with steel is being done with wood. Ilullilinc Ketiira to I e of Wood. A number of six-story buildings In the loop district of Chicago, for in stance, are taking wooden frames a procedure unheard of lnce the steel framed building was developed a quar ter of a century ago. It is probable that this abnormal condition will prevail so long as the war lasts and for a year or two after t h war. It will take the steel mills at lean that long to catch up with their orders. Moreover, when peace comes it is provable that additional volumes e,f will be required in the process cf rebuilding Europe, but the normal den. and for lumber offers much encour ns:nei.t to the Northwestern mills. The railroads are back in the mar ket after an absence of three or four 3 ears. They are buying large quanti ties of ties, car material, bridge tim bers and other wooden parts. The high price of steel has ca-used them to call a temporary Halt in their programme of substituting steel for wood in con uructing freight cars. All the West ern line have come into the market for tig lots within the last few months. Permanent improvements that were de layed during the financial oppression of the last two or three years are be ing made and the lumber mills are called upon to furnish the material. Itailroad Orders I mine one. It is estimated that the railroad or ders placed in the Northwestern states in the last six months aggregate 10, K"'.l'u0 feet alone. The big car building concerns in Chicago and the Middle West also have levied steady and heavy demands upon The mills. tone of the cars ordered for Eastern lines are taking Oregon and Washington lumber in their makeup. An order for 6.000.000 feet recently - received by the Eagle Lumber Com pany, of Timber. Or., for use in the i iovernment's railroad in Alaska, has helped the local situation. Another source of steady demand Is the mining industry. This is due, too, partially, at least, to the war. The demand for metals used in making war munitions has sent up the price of copper, lead, spelter and other minor metals and the big mines of Utah, Ne vada, Colorado and Montana are oper ating to capacity. Millions of feet in mining timbers have been sent out by the mills of this territory since the first of the year. The retail lumber yards of the West snd the Middle West are in the market for regular supplies after a period of inactivity extending back three or four years. Farmers are building silos, barns and other improvements of wood en material. This always has been one of the natural markets for local lumber and the recovery of this mar ket indicates satisfactory conditions In that territory. Ship Scarcity DlHadrantage. California is another good customer of the Oregon mills. This traffic usually is handled by water and the present high price of ocean freight rates hampers the. lumber trade In serv ing California. The market in other quarters like wise is affected adversely by the dif ficulty in getting ocean charters. South. America. Australia and the Orient, in normal times, draw heavily on this territory for lumber. This trade Is cut off. to a certain extent, pending a re turn of ocean carriers to active service. A new field for sales will be opened pi soon as regular shipments through the Panama Canal can be resumed. It will be possible then for the North western mills to get into the Atlantic seaboard territory a field heretofore ' beld almost exclusively by the South ern pine mills. The rail freight rate has been too heavf to permit Douglas ?ir to-xompete effectively with South ern pine in the Atlantic states, but by j hipping through the canal it is be lieved that prices can be equalized and that the superiority of Douglas fir will on replace the pine of the Southern states in many Eastern quarters. Southern iopply. Scarcer. Moreover, it is estimated that the Fonihern pine supply will be greatly diminished before the end of the next decade and that the eastern half of the country will have to draw upon the Northwest for its lumber anyway. Conditions altogether are n encour aging that every logging camp and every lumber mill is able to operate euTesfully on a normal basis. With the exception of two mills, every big plant in Portland and Im mediate vicinity is operating. iiaa of these exceptions the Penin sula mill will start on a 10-hour basis on May 1. The other the Monarch mill is encumbered by some legal dif ficulties which will be remedied with in the next few weeks. As soon as this stipulation is relieved it will be operated. The lnman-Poulson mill, which was destroyed, partially, by fire two months ago. rejoined operations last week. The Clark & Wilson mill, at Linnton. Is one of the few mills in this terri tory operating on a 20-hour basis. It has a. large volume of export orders that It desires to fill. A few mills on the Lower Columbia IClver also are running day and night- .rn Mills to Operate. Before the end of theyear the new plant of the Silver Kallif-iumber Com pany at Silverton will come into op eration. The Brooks-Scanlon and the Shevlln Ilixon mills at Bend started within the last 30 days. Both of these are pine producers, however, and do not com pete, excepting in some grades, with the Douglar fir plants of estern Ore gon and Western Washington. They add materially, though, to the genera prosperity of the lumber industry of the Northwest. The present upward trend of the lumber trade began early last Pall and has continued steadily through the Winter and early Spring. If the specter of overproduction does not inflict Itself into the situation, a long period of activity is almost cer tain. Centralia Keports Timber Deal. CENTRALIA. Wash.. April 22. (Spe cial.) A deal involving 100.000,000 feet of timber has Just been announced, whereby the J. A. Veness Lumber Com pany, of Winlock. sells 1000 acres of land and timber and the timber on an additional S00 acres to the Western Logging Company, a new concern that immediately will Install equipment and begin logging with a force of 90 men. The Veness Lumber Company still owns 60,000.000 feet of timber op the east side of Winlock. which will supply the logs for the company's new mill. The new plant will start operations May 1. VANCOUVER FOUND 0. K. STATE Bt'REAU OP INSPECTION MAKES REPORT. Washington Town Has Assets, Outside of Improved Streets, Which Total More Than $372,000. VANCOUVER. Wash., April 22. (Spe cial.) While a. large amount of In debtedness was incurred by the city of Vancouver in past years through in efficient and extravagant mismanage ment of the city's affairs, the financial condition of Vancouver as a whole is good, according to the report of the state bureau of inspection, and super vision of public offices, made public today.

The purchase and subsequent sale of a municipal light plant in 1S05 with a dead loss of $29,000. carelessness in forming local improvement districts, and other items, were mentioned where the city had been placed in debt. The report shows that the city has assets, outside of improved streets, which total $372,501.53. including real and personal property owned by the city, its cash balance and taxes due. Liabilities include J30.0UU general mu nicipal bonds, $10,000 general sewer bonds and outstanding warrants in the sum of $47,549.40. Other miscel laneous items have a surplus of $219, 071.4 3. Local Improvement bonds outstand ing total $390,448.16. The city legally can issue .$128,718.65 more in general city bonds without exceeding the limit. This is more than twice the amount now outstanding. Much commendation Is given the present Council and city officials, all the records being in good shape, the report states. The big cuts made in city expenses, nearly $12,000 a year, made necessary by the loss of revenue from saloons, was cited. t'HATILLA HEI'IBLICWS WARMLY GREET CANDIDATE.
