Chamber of Commerce as the conserva
tive element, makes Mr. Chapman's
achievement the more remarkable. "
"The Legislature Just closed was
more mediocre in the matter of the in
dividual ability of Its members, than
any other I have attended and more
honest," said Mr. Chapman.
"The tenure of office law for teach
ers was really not much of an issue at
the beginning of the session," he said.
"Mr. Orton emerged as the first real
popular idol that the session had de
veloped, under the spell of the applause
from the teachers' lobby, and the bill
he had fathered Tvent through with a
whoop. It passed chiefly through the
enthusiasm and efforts of the lobby
of pretty teachers. I think It may be
safe to predict that we will have pain
ful experiences under the new bill, as
under the old. before we get a thor
oughly satisfactory tenure of office
law."
The consolidation slogans with which
the legislators went to the session he
characterized as "bunk."
Join the Craze Everybody's Doing It!

thing that's latest and best in music and musical instruments.

lore Intense Situation During This
Month Is Expected by Railway
Traffic Managers War May
Be Big Factor.
Lack of cars continues to be the dom
inating factor m curtailing the lum
ber production of the Northwest.
The output last week, according to
the West Coast Lumbermen's Associa
tion records, was 67.688,373 feet, which
Is 24.44 per cent below normal.
Many mills have withdrawn from the
market entirely pending an Improve
ment In the car situation. Some of the
larger plants have called In their sales
men, while others have gone out at
advanced quotations, apparently In the
hope of regulating business automati
cally until the congestion can be re
lieved. Meanwhile the unshipped balance of
transcontinenal and local rail orders
held by association mills has gone to
17,372 carloads, or virtually 11,000 cars
more thai would normally be on the
books of tneee mills at this particular
chipping season. '
Relief April 1 Forecast.
Railroad traffic managers have ad
vised the lumber manufacturers, how
ever, that the car situation will be ma
terially relieved about April 1. They
look for the shortage to grow more In
tense during the present month, with a
better volume of equipment available
toward the end of the month, provided
preparations for a possible war do not
place a further demand upon the rail
roads. All orders, rail, cargo and local, for
the week totaled 67,448,778 feet at the
association mills, which was 14.421,174
feet greater than all shipments. Of the
total volume of orders 48,925,000 feet of
new business came from the East for
future delivery by rail.
The domestic coastwise cargo orders
totaled 6.390.138 feet. California busi
ness, which Is the largest coastwise
market, has been buying sparingly, ow
ing to the heavy rains and restricted
building operations. These rains, how
ever, are taken as a guarantee of good
crop conditions In California, for the
coming year, and it is expected that
coastwise orders later In the season
Will be very heavy.
6,S90,000 Feet Exported.
Export orders amounted to 6,890,000
feet, local orders that is, business
delivered by team and auto from the
mill amounts to 6.243.640 feet.
Shipments totaled 03,027,604 feet, of
which 35,125,000 feet represents load
ings for Eastern destinations. Domes
tic coastwise cargo clearances totaled
9.254,596 feet; export clearances, 2,476,
881 feet, and local deliveries, 6,171,127
feet.
The balance of unshipped orders In
the rail trade amounts to 434,300,000
feet; In the coastwise cargo domestic
trade, 67,882,398 feet, and In the export
trade, 57,609,020 feet, making a total
of unshipped business at association
mills amounting to 669,791,418 feet.

Cold
First yon feel a little chillythen you cant get warm. Followed by smarting
eyes and sneezes. Then comes the cough. Then what? That depends upon your
eystem's condition. If you are strong, a few days unpleasantness. If you are weak, it may go on longer, may
result seriously. The weakness gains, and a host of disease germs find lodgment. The next you know, you
ere really sick. Colds are dangerous when they cannot be thrown off ; the strong man throws them off easily.
The Moral Is
A neglected cold leaves an after effect of a congested
membrane. It may be in the nose, the throat, or the lungs.
Sometimes it is in the stomach and intestines. , Perhaps you
nave grown used to it, and fail to notice anyj
soreness. But it's there. A fresh cold aggravates
it. Soon you have chronic catarrh. In time,
max narDors a cola and forms a point of infection.
It spreads until your whole body suffers from
systemic catarrh. Then you are
really in danger. Don't wait
that.
