That the United States govern ment and tariff commission have de cided to treat the lumber dealers of British Columbia In a fair manner Jn connection with any tariff which may be imposed on lumber going Into the Unted States from Canada was evidenced this week when Eben E. Whitcomb, special investigator for the tariff commission, visited the British Columbia mills and market to get a close-up of conditions. Mr. Whitcomb treated the matter with such Intelligence and sympathy that he won the respect of the lum bermen here, who expressed the as surance that the United Slates was going to be fair when the commission had taken the trouble to send a man into this territory to view the con ditions affectins; the proposed tariff from both side.

FARMS AGAIN PRODUCING 1 OCSG GUESTS GROUPED ABOUT THE CAR. rvSERT C. W. WEST, COST DUCTOR-HOST. I tricts. Mr. I been fonC o West, who always has of children, took a special interest In the boys and girls who used to enjoy riding with him. One day he decided to give a party for the girls of Woodlawn and invited them all personally or through their mothers. The girls "dressed up" and came in state with their "girl chums" for a free ride up and down the line. Just before they went home Mr. West had a picture taken of his guests grouped about the horse car. These girls are grown up now and many of them have homes of their own in Portland, says Mr. West, who has kept track of some of the children of what he used to term "his" neighborhood. Mr. West came to Portland in 1889 from Wisconsin, where he was born. Before he went to operating the horse car on the Woodlawn line he was on the "steam" car which connected with the old Stark-street ferry. For a tim he was conductor on the old cabl car which ran up Fifth street. With the advent of electric cars he spent seven years in the service of the street car company on the Vancouver lin and nine years on the Oregon City line. He resigned several years ago an since has been interested with his son in operating the Red Rock Dairy company. "The horse cars averaged five or six miles an hour, said Mr. west "TheV didn't eo very fast, but didn't care , so much about speed In thosi days. My car ran ' through woods most of the way. It certainly wasn't anything like the district around Woodlawn today." GUILTY, SMS EMBEZZLED CONFESSED. Man, Whose Love for Lady Barber Cost Firm $10,625, Changes Plea; Trial Is Set. J. C.

The placing of a railroad tie order from China and another imtii one from India will give more side lumber and consequently more yard stuff.

That the annual convention of the National Association of - Building Owners and Managers, to be held here June 21 to 25, will be the largest ever held, both in point of numbers and value of property represented, is the declaration of S. D. Vincent, chair man of t he programme committee, who returned home yesterday after an extensive trip to the large cities of the country. While many conventions held in Portland have registered larger at tendance than this one will, there have been none as significant, viewed from the standpoint of property value represented. Mr. Vincent said, declar ing that property valued at from 3250.000 to 330.000,000 per delegate will be represented. He estimates the number to be present from points throughout the United States as 600. Gordon Strong of Chicago, president of the association, will be here to preside at the sessions, Mr. Vincent said. Clarence T. Coley of New York, manager of the Equitable properties. s expected. Waldo Avery, owner of the Majestic building In Detroit, is coming. Cleveland, O., probably will send the largest delegation, having lready made reservations for 30.

Plans for the entertainment of dele gates are under way and are designed show the visitors Portland at its best. Everything possible will be done to make their stay pleasant and profitable. 'My trip of six weeks took me to all of the large cities of the United States," said Mr. Vincent. "Iscame nto contact with some of the best minds in the financial world and from hese men gathered valuable informa ion. There is a general feeling of ptimism among the really big men of the country, although it is no secret that business has not fully recovered from the strain of war. "Several vital factors in the coun- ry a welfare still are disarranged. The railroad situation is perhaps the most troublesome thing of all now left to untangle. It is evident that here must be a reduction of wages keeping with the cost of living, nd then a lowering of rates in accor dance with reduced wages. Return of Godmother of Hatton' chute, near St. MihieJ, to Be Celebrated by Populace. NEW YORK. May 14. (Special.) The pious villagers of Hattonchatel, a little French town on a hilltop near St. Mihiel, are expecting the arrival of their fairy godmother and prepara tions are going forward for a mag nificent procession in honor of her return. Miss Belle Skinner, sitting in the library of her home here, arched her eyebrows humorously as she asked, "Can you Imagine me walking with grave dignity at the head of the pro cession just behind the statue of Joan of Arc? There are so many villages in ruin! While keenly symDathetio with the work of their restoration, which she pronounces "wonderful," Miss Skinner has remained outside the general comm'ttee. She had adopted her village before the armistice and "would not give It up." The rebuild Inir nf Hattonchatel has gone forward with her help and under her personal supervision. It is her village. The French government in recognition of her services conferred upon her the Medaille de Reconnaissance Francaise in 1919. and in 1920 made her Chevalier of Legion of Honor. German Indemnity Counted On. "When you adopt a village," Miss Skinner explained, "you become re .r,n ihi for improved living condi tions, sanitation and such matters, u-mnr-e rhmlds her own villages. .She counts on the German indemnity for money with wnicn to rev i" villagers in full for tneir losses, dui a law has been passed that no village can be rebuilt exactly as it was orig inally. That means, among things, that there must be better sanitation in the new village. Great ,., s hinir taken that the old k., he nreserved. but dark ,.,, ho done away with.

"At the bottom of the hill I havs established a dispensary with French nurse who goes about on a bicycle,, serving seven towns." Monnment Is Considered. Miss Skinner spoke with interest and pleasure of a possible honor that may come to Hattonchatel. The state of Massachusetts has under eonsid eration the construction of a monu "ment in commemoration of Massa chusetts citizens who gave their lives in r ranee. A special commission con' sisting of Walter A. Robinson, chair man; Axel E. Zetterman and Genera Edward L. Logan reported in favor of erecting such a monument in the St Mihiel area. Two were In favor of placing it at Hattonchatel, and on at St. Mihiel. "I have a dream it is only a dream, of course of such a monument In my village taking the form, not of a con ventional shaft, but of a beautiful old windmill that used to be there cen turies ago. I found pictures of it in the archives in Paris, and It was a lovely thing!" Miss Skinner said there is one vil Iag that she knows of which is fur ther along ia its process of recon struction than hers. Thia is Vltrl niont, which has been rebuilt by the California committee in a very charm ing way. "All the committees havs done splendid work," she said.

As the winds move from west to east, due to the earth's rotation, Father Ricard explains, the weather for the United States usually can be determined in advance by conditions over the Pacific ocean a:.d Europeans may be warned likewise by conditions over the Atlantic. Storms on the Pacific coast cross the continent in from 5 to 7 days. Although some times delayed by sectional conditions that make their movements eccen tric, they always cross. The passage of the Atlantic ocean to Europe Is made in about three days. The cause of the formation of sun spots. Father Ricard says, may be explained simply, and earthquakes likewise.
