J. H. Bloedel, ez-President of West
Coast Inunbermen's Association,
Telia of Benefits Federal
Trade Body Has "Wrought.
THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN, PORTLAND, JANUARY 23, 1917.

f f.o.b. Toledo
!fa his annual report presented at
the annual meeting: of the West Coast
Lumbermen's Association, held at Ta
ooma on Friday, J. H. Bloedel, the re
tiring president, said that the past
year had closed with a record of dis
tinct constructive achievement for the
lumber industry. In part he said:
" The lumbermen of the Weit Coast par
ticularly, and the entire Industry of the
United States In general, are Indebted to
the conscientious efforts of the Federal
Trade Commission for their extended inves
tigations of our Industry. The consuming
publlo of the prairie stales has a miscon
ception of the true status of the lumber
industry, and it needs the impartial report
of such a Federal body to set them right.
Webb Bill Is Cited.
A direct result of the co-ope ration of the
federal Trade Commission is the pending
Webb bill now before the Senate. This
legalizes foreign commerce, and under Its
provisions the Douglas Fir Exploitation A
Export Company was conceived. The co
operation of the Bureau of Foreign and To
xnestlc Commerce with the lumber manu
facturers In exploiting and promoting our
woods In war-torn Europe is another effect
of the change favoring industrial and Gov
ernmental co-operation.
The collaboration of the Forest Service
with the Federal Trade Commission In their
analysis of the lumber industry, the re
ports of which will shortly be published,
will bo mest Illuminating. In all of these
afralrs your association has taken a most
active part.
Panama Canal tolls were discussed
by the retiring- West Coast president,
who said:
The reinstatement of decsMoad tolls la
recommended by Colonel Goethals. It Is
manifestly unfair to the West Coast !umber
Industry where, owing to the peculiarities
or the local conditions, a type of vessel
has been evolved whloh carries almost an
equal amount of lumber on deck as under
deck. A cargo of coal or steel for the
return voyage would only pay an under
deck toll,- whereas the outg-oing voyage
witn lumber would be the under-deck meas
ure plus, the deck load, practically double
tolls. It Is a distinct discrimination against
the West Coast lumber Industry, and every
rrort to forestall it should be made through
our Congressmen and Senators. The West
Coast Association is on record In opposition.
Tariff Committee Uryed.
The question of protective tariff
legislation was touched upon briefly
by Mr. Bloedel, who expressed the
opinion that a change of sentiment
seemed to be occurring as reg-ards the
wisdom of admitting lumber and ehin
frles into- this country free of duty.
He suggested the appointment of a
tariff committee of the association
which should be prepared to meet any
emergency that might arise In possible
tariff legislation following the ad
journment of the present Congress on
March 4.
Mr. Bloedel spoke with enthusiasm
concerning the humanitarian work of
teaching sawmill, shingle mill, factory
and logging-camp employes the fun
damentals of emergency accident
treatment the training of men to
know what to do and what not to do
in the emergencies. Jn . this connection
he said;.
Nor has the association been active in
business affairs only. Humanitarian efforts
to better laboring conditions have had their
share of attention, miring the year there
has been active co-operation with the Amer
ican Red Cross Society in the education of
employes in first-aid methods. Many dem
oust rat Ions have been held at meetings and
at all of the camps and mills of the mem:
bers, resulting In a better understanding of
the necessity of proper first aid. The aaso
elation gratefully acknowledges its obliga
tion to the American Red Cross Society and
Jjt. Ltacomo lor its first -a id demonstrations.
Reverting again to the missionary
trip of the industry's Billy-Sundays to
the Pacific Coast, talking co-operation
during tho Fall months, Mr. Bloedel
continued:
Better merchandising and advertising of
our product- In a merchandising sense has
been one of the leading topics of discussion
before lumbermen. Whether these results
can be better obtained by the activity of
(regional associations, or by the support ef
the regional associations through the Na
t tonal association in a National sense, was
the theme which brought these men to us.
Lumbermen hve been prone to consider mar
keting as secondary to overcoming obsta
oles of physical production, but here also
the awakening.

FLONZALET QUARTET, WHICH IS TO PLAT AT BEOIO FEBRTj
Ay-s.
0
F the Plonzaley Quartet, which Ona reason is that they have a work-
wlll be heard at the Helller Sat
urday evening- of this week. Tin
der the direction of Steers & Coman,
Philip Hale writes: "The Flonzaleys
need fear no rival. In the perfection
of their ensemble they stand alone."
A glance at the members' of the
quartet Is sufficient to Impress one
with the fact that they are men - of
unsual mental and artistic attain
ments. Adolf o Bettl, first violin; Al
fred Pochon, second violin: Iwan
d'Archambeau. 'celloj and Ugo Ara,
viola, represent the highest type of the
true musician. The organization is
generally looked upon as the greatest
string quartet In the world.
The Flonzaleys have never courted
public favor. A world-wide following
has come without recourse to noisy ex
ploitation. Scorning' sensational meth
ods of making- themselves known, the
Flonzaleys have become familiar to
music-lovers from Maine to California,
tng standard to which they rigidly
adhere. Only, two or three programmes.
comprising at the most 12 composi
tions are prepared each season, so that
study of each work may be carried to
the finest detail of understanding- and
performance.
The four virtuosi have cultivated a
personal and musical Intimacy that
makes for absolute sympathy In the
Interpretation of a' composition. They
never allow themselves to be over
taxed by too many performances
week or by too long railroad trips be
fore a performance. There are many
other respects in which the Flonzaleys
differ from other chamber-muslo
bodies. Their agreement to abjure
teaching and individual engagements
means that the entire time of each
member Is consecrated to the study and
Interpretation of chamber-music
Such tributes as have been paid the
quartet prove the organization's title
to first place among string quartets
or the world.

Mount Angel Bank Offers Farmers
$3000 at 5 Per Cent.
MOUNT ANGEL, Or.., Jan. 7. (Spe
cial.) The directors of the Mount
Angel Bank have offered 15000 to the
farmers of the surrounding country
with .which to build silos. The board
has announced that, this sum will be
loaned for this purpose at 6 per cent.
This will enable many farmers to
build silos and consequently make" it
possible to feed livestock at a lower
cost. It is reasoned that this will
mean an increase in the raising of
livestock and dairying which In turn
will produce more business for the
ank.
The farmers of the country are eager
to accept this proposition.

Sentiment on Carnival Asked.
ROSEBURG. Or., Jan. 27. (Special.)
Members of last year's Strawberry
Carnival committee have begun a can
vass of the merchants and business men
of the city to ascertain the sentiment
with regard to a carnival for this year.
If it is found the carnival is desired
a meeting will be called next week,
when the former committee will report
and a new committee will be appointed.
The festival is held in June, and the
committeemen are anxious to get their
plans under way.
You simply say to the drug store
man, "Give me a quarter of an ounce
of freezone." This will cost very little,
but is sufficient to remove every hard
or soft corn from one's feet.
. A few drops applied directly upon a
tender, aching corn should relieve the
soreness Instantly, and soon the entire
corn, root and all, can be lifted out
with the fingers without pain.
This new drug called freezone lu an
ether compound discovered by a Cin
cinnati man, who says that while freez
one is Bticky it dries In a moment, and
simply shrivels up the corn without
Inflaming or even Irritating the sur
rounding tissue or skin.

Bronse aad Sliver Heirloom

Mrs. Clara Skeele Bushnell. of
this city, is the possessor of sev

the most interesting of which
are two candlesticks that h'ave

Wales. The candlesticks have
always been .handed down to the
eldest -of the family of each gen

possession of Mrs. Bushnell
about 43 years ago when she was
married.
The candlesticks are made of
silver and copper in alternate
layers, hammered together and
welded by a sort of sweating
process, art authorities say.
The design -of the candlesticks
is from Egypt. The holder and
capital are a modification of the
palm-leaf design. The shaft
represents papyrusT with a num
ber of stems bound together by
bands. The Egyptian mode is
so modified as to produce a
Georgian effect. J. P. Jaerer
has the candlesticks on display
in the window of the Jaeger
jewelry atore, and they are at
tracting the interest of those
who are curio and art collectors.

The Common Sense Of It
When people consider keeping; themselves' well, they wish to
take no chances. The best is none too good; the best medicines
are not always availing. Yet from the experience of thousands all
medical knowledge is obtained, and some medicines become so reli
able that they have a fixed place. JYear after year they are tried and
prove their worth.
PERUNA HAS PASSED THE TEST
First, it has healed its thousands more than many a physician treats in a lifetime. These thousands are
today enthusiastic friends of this treatment.
Second, it nas been before the public for forty-five years, and is today stronger in its hold on the
esteem of the people than ever before. - ' -
Third, it is a scientifically compounded prescription of- a successful physician that has been proved
valuable in cases innumerable.
' Peruna does not claim to be good for all ailments. It is a tonic of special value in all catarrhal
