I I r,On.KF.IMC& l "Every time I look at your coast timber I think there is 60methins wrong- with my glasses. It would take 100 Wisconsin logs to equal some or the trees I have seen in this mate." declared Edward Hines, mil lionaire lumberman of Chicago, who ia in Tortland on the last leg of a. two-weeks inspection of coast timber which included Puget sound. Everett, Coos Bay and Portland districts. .Mr. Hines is head of the Edward Hints company of Chicago, one of the largest lumber companies of the world. He is accompanied on his western tour of inspection by Charles Hall, timber buyer for the company; M. L. Hudson, timber expert, and Judge W. S. Bennett, attorney for the company. Mr. Hines stated that the company bad not consummated any deals in volving the purchase of any limber tract in the west, nor was there any Immediate intention of doing so. He explained that the Buehner Lumber company at Coos Bay. was connected with the Chicago firm only through the handling of lumber at the eastern distributing centers. The present tour wa-s merely to appraise existing timber resources, lie said. ()O,(M)O,O00 Kect Handled Vcarly. More than 600. "00. 000 feet of lumber are handled annually by the Hines company. Hi per cent of which is produced in their own mills. At the present time the company has in operation three mills in Wisconsin, two in Minnesota and two in Missis sippi. "We own no timber in the west at present, but we will be forced out to the west in the near future," said Mr. Hines. "We have followed the retreating timber line in Wisconsin. Minnesota and Mississippi, and when we come to the west it will be the end of the trail." The Chicago lumber king would not admit jhat there was any significance . in the fact that his appearance in the west was simultaneous with that of the executives of the L,ong-Bell com pany of Kansas City. Kate TtiNe Held Itcanonnblc. In commenting on the proposed rise in freight rates and its prob able effect on the lumber industry in the west, Mr. Hines was of the opin ion that the proposed increase was equitable and would not seriously affect the movement of lumber east. "The quicker the railroads receive the increase the better," said Mr. Hines. "The prosperity of the coun try depends upon the railroads, and there is no question that they cannot continue to operate successfully under the present schedule." Portland has been the mecca of representatives of large eastern lum ber companies during the past week. In addition to the Hines and Long Bell executives. Henry Turrish, head of the Western Timber company of St. Paul, arrived in Portland Thurs "day and spent the day in conference with officials of the local branch of that company, whose headquarters are in the Spalding building. He dis claimed any intention of increasing the. timber holdings of his company in this state. VANCOUVER. Wash., July 24. (Special.) The great possibilities of diking to reclaim land is shown in the accompanying photographs, which were taken this week. One picture shows how the land is under water on the upper side of the fill to the Columbia river Interstate bridge between Portland and Vancouver. Nothing but pond lilies are growing and thousands, of carp are in the pasture. The other picture shows how the grain grows on the land on the lower side of the fill, where the water has been kept away. The water in the Columbia river is about 16 feet above zero, and the field of grain would be under water were it not for the long fill, on top of which is the paved boulevard between Washington and Ore- son. GROTTO TO GIVE PICNIC MASTER MASONS AND FAMILIES ;et benefit. CANNING MAY DECREASE Banks Refuse to Make Advances Other Than for Sales Made. The refusal of the federal reserve banks to advance credit to canners nnd packers beyond an amount actu ally covered in each instance by sales made, will result in a short fruit pack this year and a consequent high price for canned goods, E. A. Clark of the Kings Food Products com pany .declared yesterday. Mr. Clark estimated that the pack this year, as a result of the inability of canners to i secure credits during the height of the season, would be about 60 per cent of normal. This he said could not fail to result in a shortage this coming winter. The packers are now canning Lam bert cherries, loganberries and rasp berries. The Bing and Royal Anne 'hcrry season is now over, or prac tically so. A good crop of all three fruits is reported.
