CAR SUPPLY HELD AMPLE Exemption of Log Shipments From 2 5 Per Cent Freight Rate In crease Is Welcomed by ' Coast Operators. In the last three weeks the lumber manufacturers of "Western Oregon and "Western Washington have shipped 24, 269,356 feet more than they were able to cut and accepted orders for 4,560,846 feet more than they shipped. Despite the fact that the mills are running within 5 per cent of their capacity production, they are not turn Ins out lumber as fast as they are able to sell it, nor as fast a the rail roads are able to carry it away. As a result the stocks in some of the biggest plants in the territory are run ning low, and an actual shortage In some grades Is threatened. Prices are strengthening- all along the line. Lumber Demand Increases. "While it Is not known whether the Government Intends to fix the price to the trade, the purchasers of lumber avidently do not expect the Government-made prices, if they are estab lished, to be any lower than the pres ent market prices, for the volume of their orders has been greater in the last three weeks than in any three week period for nearly a year. Following- are the comparative fig ures for production, orders and ship ments for each of the last three weeks: Production. Orders. Shipments.

The demand for lumber in the cities of Western Oregon and Western Wash ington continues unabated, orders last week aggregating 9,453,731 feet. Car Supply la Ample. The car supply is ample to care for the normal needs of the mills, but the unusually heavy volume of buying has resulted in an accumulation of unfilled orders. Hail shipments last week were 2093 cars, or 62,790,000 feet. An ag gregateTrof 11,143 cars of unfilled orders remains on the books of the manufac turers. Overseas shipments fdV the week were the heaviest for many months, ag gregating 6,416,338 feet. The lumber that moved by water' to California ag- grpgatea 9.067.982 feet. The welcome news from "Washing ton. D. G, that the Railroad Admlnls tration has exempted log shipments from the application of the $15 per car minimum, wnicn had been incorporated in the recent order increasing freight rates 25 per cent, occasioned much re lief to the lumbermen, as it would have increased the freight charge on their logs from 30 to 150 per cent.- laDor supply in the : mills remains normal,-as the movement to the harvest xieias nas not yet started. INJURED ONE MAY SUE WASH1XGTOX SUPREME COURT "CONSTRUES COMPENSATION- ACT. lyaborer WorUns on Street Railway , Tracks and Struck y Automobile , - Not Bound to Accept State Aid. XlLTMPIA, "Wash., June 15. (Special.) In a decision written by Judge W. W. Tolman, the Supreme Court today holds that tracks of a streetcar com pany are not properly to be considered a part of the company's plant, In litigatioin where it is sought to restrict an employe of the company, who is In jured by another not in the same em ploy, to industrial compensation for his injury. In such cases the Supreme Court holds that the employe Is not bound to accept state compensation, but may elect to sue the party responsible for the injury. In this holding the state court takes exception to citation of a United States Supreme Court ruling in another in dustrial insurance case from "Washing ton as justification for the defendant's plea that the injured employe had no right to bring personal suit since he was classified under the industrial In surance act. "Unfortunately," reads the decision ine j eaerai supreme court appears to have been misled by a general dis cussion of the purpose of the act in that case. Non-suit of a damage action brought by Charles Carlson, a streetcar employe of Seattle, against W. S. Mock, whose automobile struck and injured Carl son while he was at work on the tracks, is reversed, and private suit authorized. U. S. ACE FELLS 13 PLANES Sergeant Putnam Brings Down Five Hun Machines in One Day. PARIS, June 15. Sergeant David E. Putnam, of Brookline, Mass., is re ported to have downed five Germans on June 10. Three of Putnam's aerial victories now are official and the other two are under investigation. This rec ord, if the five victories ara officially accredited, makes Putnam's total 13, supplanting Lieutenant Frank Baylies, of New Bedford. Mass., as the Ameri can ace of aces. The feat accredited to Sergeant Put nam is the most notable performed by an American aviator and has probably been eclipsed only once during the war. The only other aviator getting a larger bag of enemy airplanes in a single day is Lietuenant Rene Fonck, a French ace, who, on May 9, brought down six German machines. ' Doctor Fined for Hoarding.

GIBL 'PHONE DOCTOR' Miss May Harris, in Overalls, Doing Man's Work. . . EXPERT SERVICE RENDERED Ail-Around Electrical and Tele phone .Worker Knows How to Make 'Balky Transmitters and Receivers Bella ve. May Harris, petite and pretty no one will gainsay it after seeing her in overalls, with her blaCK locks curling around the suspender straps has taken up man's work seriously, as a war ne cessity, and now she is said to be the only woman doctor of . cantankerous teiepnones in Oregon. Better still, she is the only woman electrical worker in the state,' for her work extends beyond willful telephones that refuse to talk. She is an all around telephone worker, but her abil ity to make disordered transmitters and receivers behave has - gained her a position in the recovery shop of the telephone company, located on Union avenue and East Ash street. It is there that Miss Harris rejuvenates at least 37 condemned telephones a day. In time she says she is going to finish SO a day. Each instrument is entirely disman tied, and the dozen or more distinct parts are taken out, thoroughly over hauled and reassembled. . "It requires a great deal of head work," said Miss Harris, as she skill fully applied a foot-long complicated looking screwdriver to an unruly screw. You have to keep your eyes open and your brain working, because if things are not just exactly right they are returned. "Now you. see this little hole.' "Well, if I didn't happen to put the right cord in there, this telephone never, would be of any use." Miss Harris never stops working. All of the time she was talking, vari ous cords were being clipped by long nosed pliers and new ones put in their place. After she has completely assembled the phones again, they are polished, not one - tarnished spot being overlooked, new long green cords are attached and they are placed on a table, ready to be returned to the telephone company. Miss Harris says she is willing to do anything to help win the war. "When asked if she had any relatives in the service, she said: "N'o, but I have a sweetheart over there. He went over last October with the Rainbow Regi ment of the United States Engineers."

F. S. Lang Mfg. Co. Main 4i. 11 Fourth St. By Dr. JAM KM K. TALMAtiK Of the Council of the Turin, C surra of Jesus f'hrtat of Lalirr-Us, Salnt; alt Lake City, Vtah. Belief in the efficacy of the death of Jesus Christ as a means of atonement. whereby redemption and salvation are made possible, is an essential feature of distinctively Christian religion. That belief if sustained by works constitute? faith in or acceptance of the Christ as the Only Begotten Son of God. and is supported by the Holy Scriptures of all ages. Nevertheless, to most of us, the fact of the Atonement is a great mys tery. Be it remembered that the effect of the Atonement is two-fold: (1) Redemp tion of the human race from physical death, which entered the world as a result of Adam's . transgression; and (!) Salvation, whereby means of relief from the results of individual sin are provided. Victory over death and the tomb be came manifest in the resurrection of the crucified Christ. Of all who have lived in the flesh He was the first to come from the grave with spirit and body reunited, a resurrected, immor talized Soul. Justly, therefore. Is He callei lr first fruits of (ferns that lent" (I Cor. ls:Su; "the firstborn from the dean" Col. 1:18); and -the final begotten of the cad" (Rev. 1:5). Immediately following our lxrd's res urrection, "many bodies of the saints which slept arose, and came out of the araves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many." (Matt. 27:51-53). We learn that in due time everyone, who has lived and died on earth shall be resurrected, -they that have done soon, unto the resurrection af life! nnd resurrection ol aaranal Ion." (John &:2'J). However, the order in which we shall be resurrected is determined by Indi vidual conditions of righteousness or guilt. See I Cor. 15:CS; Rev. 20:5-). A latter-day Scripture, describing the general resurrection of the Just, inci dent to the approaching advent of Christ, embodies the Lord's declaration in these words: -The trump f Cod shall aound nntu long and loud, nnd ahall nay the aleeplns: natloaa. Ve aalntn nrlse nnd llvei ye nlnnern ntny nnd nleep until I nhnll enll usulu." tlclrlne & Covenants 43:IS). The second effect of the Atonement makes salvation possible to all men through obedience to the laws and or dinances of the Gospel: and of thexe the following are fundamental: l) Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. SI Re pentance; (3) Baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost. It is evident that but for the Atone ment accomplished by the Savior, there, could be no resurrection from the dead: (see Book of Mormon. 2 Nephi S:7-12: and advancement from the disembodied state would be I m post-1 We. And Just as plainly the Scriptures declare that with out the Atonement of Christ mankind would be loft In their sins, without means of making amends therefor and receiving remission thereof. We have learned but little of the eternal laws operative In the heavens; but that God's purposes are accom plished through and by Law is beyond question. There can be no irre&uLirtty. Inconsistency, arbitrariness or capri-e in His doings, for such would mean injustice. Therefore. Jic Atonement must have been effected in accordance with law. The self-sacrlf iclne life, the Indescribable agony, and the. voluntary death of One who had life in Himself with power to halt His tortures at any stage, and whom none could slay until He permitted, must have constituted compliance with the eternal law of jus tice, propitiation and expiation by which victory over sin and death could be and has been achieved. Through th mortal life and sacrificial death of our Lord Jesus Christ the demands of Juf tlce nave been fully met. and the way Is opened for the lawful ministration of mercy so far as the effects of the fall are concerned. Sin. followed by death, came into the world through the tranfgresslon of one man. The entailment of mortality upon that man's posterity, with all its ele ments of a fallen state. Is natural, wo say. because wc think we know some thing about heredity. Is it any mora truly natural that one man's transgres sion should be of universal effect, than that the redeeming and saving achieve ment of One. fully empowered and qual ified for the work of atonement, should be of universal blessing? The ancient Apostles were explicit in answer. Thrs spake Paul: Therefore an y the of fence of one Judgment mine upon nil men to eondemnntlons even no by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon nil men unto Justification of life. titom. 5:lfc). And further: -For there la one (,od. nnd one mediator between t.od nnd man. the man Chrlat Jesus, who gave himself n rnnaom for nil. tl'Tim. 2:5-6). Christ, victor over, sin and death, established His right to prescribe the conditions under which man may attain salvation, and these are summarized as obedience the lawn and ordinances of the Gospel. That the physical, mental, and spiritual agony preceding and ac companying the crucifixion was real and necessary to the accomplishment of His f oreappolnted mission has been af firmed by the Christ in the current dis pensation: -For behold. I. God. hate suffered these things for all. that they might not suffer If they would repentl but If they would not repent, they nut suffer even nn I. Which suffering caused myself, even t.od. the greatest of nil. to tremble because of palm, nnd to bleed at every pore, nnd to suffer both body nnd spirit! nnd would thnt I might not drink the bitter eup nnd shrink Never theless, glory He to the Father, and I pnrtook nnd finished my preparations unto the children of men. Vt herefore. I command you nnnln to repent. (Doc trine & Covenants 19:15-20).
