At this meeting a successor to Thorpe Babcock, who has been secretary of the association six years, will be selected. Mr. Babcock will retire from the asso ciation February I. to take over Ithe management of the Northwestern Lum ber Company at Hoquiam, Wash. Lumber industry conditions remained practically unchanged the past week. Production continued heavily curtailed; the car supply was far short of require ments; orders were in fair volume and the unshipped transcontinental balance of orders reached a new high mark. The West Coast Lumbermen's Asso ciation considers that production was curtailed 41.88 per cent, man; mills not having resumed operations since the holiday closedown. At 129 mills, pro duction was reported . 49,449,807 feet. These same mills took orders amount ing to 64.175,080 feet and shipped 62, 677.412 feet. The previous week 131 mills cut 39,646,757-feet; took orders amounting to 59.655,930 feet, and shipped 57,871,058 feet. In the rail trade, covering all orders from territory reached by rail delivery, new orders for the week amounted to 1834 carloads, or approximately 45.850, 000 feet. Deliveries by rail amounted to 1598 carloads, or approximately 39, 950,000 feet: rail trade orders for the week exceeding rail trade deliveries by 12.87 per cent. In the cargo trade, shipping activi ties predicted by this newspaper several weeks ago, are finding ample justifica tion.

One of the copies of the first volume and number or the New York Com mercial Advertiser, dated Monday, October 2, 1797. has come to' light in Port land. Despite Its 120 years, it is well preserved, and Its four pages, of five, columns each, contain some interesting and amusing: data. The paper was the property of Elijah Farringrton, one of Its earliest sub scribers. He was the grandfather of the late Mrs. J. W. Blain, wife of a Portland real estate broker. i Mr. Farring-ton was a resident of New Tork. His son was born In that state and his granddaughter, Mrs. Blain, lived In this city for more than 20 years. She died about a year ago. The paper was found in the trunk of Mr. Farrlngton after his death. Mr. Blain has sent the paper to a sister of Mrs. Blain, Mrs. W. H. Marriott, of Tryon, N. C. - drained the Pacific or lumber-carrying tonnage, but the weekly figures of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association and the quarterly shipping statements of the Pacific Lumber Inspection Bu reau show that, notwithstanding the war, the cargo lumber business is grad ually coming back. O. P. M. Goss, consulting engineer of the West Coast Lumbermen's Associa tion, gave the first of a series of four lectures In Portland Thursday night on "The Technical and Physical Properties of Douglas Fir." The discussions are primarily for the guidance of sales managers and salesmen for lumber companies. Three more lectures will be given, the last to be illustrated with lantern slides showing the uses and misuses of fir. The next lecture will be given Thursday evening at the Ore gon Hotel, beginning at 6 o'clock. RABBITS DUE TO 'DUCK' COUNTY AXD FEDERAL AGENTS COMBINE IN ATTACK. Records Show 75,000 Succumb Crook WConnty la One Year at Cost of Only 970O. la It's time for the frisky rabbit and busy ground squirrel to hunt their covers. Highly specialized scientists of the United States biological survey and the county agents of the Oregon Agri cultural College extension service, are after their scalps, pelts and mischievous little lives. The work of rodent control has al ready been under way with some start ling results and will now be co-ordinated to increase its effectiveness. .Farmers In the infested counties are joining hands with the Federal and college men to combat them,, demand ing the greatest number of lives for the least amount of money. R. A. Ward in charge of the work In jackrabbit and ground squirrel control in Oregon, working with the county agricultural agent, has . concluded a campaign in Crook County which re sulted in the death of 75,000 rabbits last year, at a cost of about $700. It is estimated that if the rabbits had lived and effected the normal increase they would reach the enormous total of 600,000 -this coming year. The loss in a single Central Oregon county last year due to jackrabbits was about $75,000, while In Crook County the farmers had the pleasure of seeing, more than this sum roll away to market on wheels instead of going to feed the rabbits.

As a solution of the lumber classifi cation problem, Fred Each, Interstate Commerce Commissioner, who sat with Commissioner Meyer In the hearing: of the lumber rate case held in Chicago last July, has submitted to the Com mission a summary of his conclusions from the testimony offered and a rec ommendation that substantially all for est products be given the lumber rate wherever such products will load to a prescribed minimum carload weight. which Mr. Each suggests might be 50, 000 pounds. Mr. Hsch's plan has aroused great interest among lumbermen and the sub ject now is receiving their earnest at tention. During the past week meet ings of both the West Coast Lumber men's Association and the Willamette Valley Lumber Manufacturers' Asso ciation were held in Portland and the various phases of the plan were con sidered. Lumbermen admit that the proposed plan is radical and revolution ary, and if adopted would change com pletely the present structure of rates. J. N. Teal, of Portland, as attorney for the various lumber interests on the Pa cific Coast, will appear before the In terstate Commerce Commission Janu ary 27, when the Esch plan will be con sidered by that bocjy. " features of Plan Explained. Some of the features of the Esch plan are explained as follows: For auoh (crest product as were actually loaded over thia minimum a reduced rate is sugaeated and for euch forest products aa are not. loaded up to thia minimum a corresponding higher rate la suggested, these varlationa to be graded by stagea of 10.000 pounds. Mr. Esch points out that rates made on this basis will automatically prop erly classify forest products in accordance with their carloading possiMlities, which he considers the prime factor in making freight rates. The plan Is very Ingenious and ap parently solves the claaslticatlon problem M rates can be made on forest products based solely upon the carloading without re gard to commercial competition and other economic factors that usually are consiaerea very Important in determining a freight rate on a low-grade commodity of heavy movement. - Mr. Each's plan fs based upon the theory that the present rates not only pay the carrier for hauling the contents of the car but also for hauling the dead weight of the car Itself, and that where percentage of revenue freight to tare weight is greater a lower rate of freight on the revenue freight will net the same gross ton earnings as on a lighter ;oad and will compensate the car rier by paying the same amount per gross ton for each additional ton handled in the heavier car. Mr. Esch suggests a basis of 60.000 pounds per carload and the present tariff rates as the base for figuring rates and under'hls plan 40,000 pounds of forest prod ucts would pay a rate 110 per cent of the present rate and forest products weighing U0.00O pounds per car would pay 03 per cent of the present freight rates with Increased percentages for lighter loads than 40,000 pounds, and decreased percentages for heav ier loads than 80.000 pounds. Taking the present rate from Portland to Omaha, for example, which Is SO cents per 100 pounds: Under Mr. Esch's plan if the car weighed 50.000 pounds. 50 cents per 100 pounds on the actual weight would apply. This would make tho cost of transporting this car to Omaha f.250. If. however, the lumber was somewhat lighter and only weighed 40,000 poundc per car the rate would be 65 cents and the charge for the car $220. Heavier Material to Cost More. On the other hand, if heavier material was loaded and 60,000 pounds of weight was secured the rate would be 464 cents per 100 pounds, and the charge for the car $279. Under this plan a carload of lumber weighing 100,000 pounds, which Is not un usual on shipments from the North Paclflo Coast, the rate would be 394 cents per 100 pounds to Omaha, or a total charge of $395. whereas 4inder the present rate plan 100. 00O pounds of lumber to the same point would be charged 0 cents on actual weight, or $."00 per car. One hundred thousand pounds of common fir lumber might consist of 4O.000 feet of lumber weighing 250O pounds per thousand feet. On such a car. therefore, It will be ap parent that reducing the car charge from $500 to $:95 reduces the transportation cost per thousand feet from $12.50 per thousand to $9.S3 per thousand feet, or a saving of $2.02 per thousand in the transportation of a commodity where that much difference in the freight cost Is quite a factor. This plan will probably appeal to those shippers of forest products who can load O0.0OO pounds or more per car and who would re ceive a reduction In their freight rates by reason of that ability to load cars heavily. Those shippers, however, who would have difficulty In loading as much aa 60,000 pounds per car possibly might object to this plan as discriminating against them. Lum bermen on the entire Pacific Coast are try ing to figure out Just how this plan will work out for the Industry as a whole. The Interstate Commerce Commission has ex tended the time on which shippers may be heard with respect to- this rate plan from January 16 to February 1. IMan Tfot All New. This plan Is not entirely rewato manu facturers of lumber on the North Pacific Coast. Similar plans, such as the so-called Peterson plan, originated by A. F. Peterson, of Aberdeen, Wash., was given serious con sideration by fir lumber shippers several years ago and with some modifications as worked out by the traffic cominlttee of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association was submitted to the railroads in 1911 for the purpose of securing a more equitable dis tribution of freight charges on fir and hem. lock products, so as to enable the heavier and lower grades of lumber to extend their market. Nbthing was ever done by the railronds towards adopting this plan, as the carriers did not seem to be able to cbme tJ any agreement on It. The question as to whether the classification problem should bo solved, in the manner suggested by Examiner Esch is an extremely difficult one to decide and In the opinion of transportation experts a plan of this sort should not be accepted or rejected until It has been fully Investl gaated and the results carefully weighed both as to the immediate results of such a rate plan and the future results as ap plied to the Industry as a whole.
