r Alberni sawmills are cutting on a
small Australian order and several
inquiries are on hand for Antofa

a little improvement. The new trans
continental tariff on railroads, which
goes into effect September 10. and
which includes the April amendments
to the old tariff, will correct the
rates to all the small points between
here and Chicago. British Columbia
lumbermen will put lumber into Chi

This corrects the idea that all Iowa
and Wisconsin points were on the
Chicago rate and proportions the

words it makes It possible for British

markets heretofore served only by
Southern pine.

On hand in British Columbia waters
for th past month.
: Logs Are Plentiful.
In southern waters of British
Columbia -.the following scalings of
logs are recorded as being in the
market on August 1: Fir, 74.26,0O0
feet; cedar, 23.8S8.0O0 feet: hemlock,
23.708,000 feet; spruce, 1,560.000 feet;
pine, 90,000 feet; and mixed logs,
1.800, 00O. feet. This makes the total
number of feet of logs in the south
ern British Columbia waters stand
at 125262.000 feet, against 130.000.000
feet in the same waters at the end
of June, this year.
Practically no change has taken
place in the log supply of the north
ern waters, which stood at 150,000,000
feet July 1. 1921.
A number of booms of logs have
moved across the boundary line, but
these appear to have made no dif
ference in the quantity of logs avail
able tor the local mills.
Imports Are Watched.
Imports of foreign lumber into the
various provinces of the Dominion
of Canada are being watched closely
by the sawmill interests of British
Columbia. According to a statement
Issued by the British Columbia Lum
ber .& Shingle Manufacturers' asso
ciation, there were 3,938,000 feet of
pitch pine Imported into Canada in
the months of April, May and June,
1920, but in the same months in 1921
10,255,000 feet were shipped into the
dominion, all of it going to Ontario.
Timber imported into Canada in

amounted to $10,929,000 in value for
th-e months of April, May and June.
The eame months In 1921 showed
a lath importation of 1,558,000 feet,
against 334,000 feet In 1920. In the
month of June, 1921, alone, British
Columbia Imported 105.000 feet of
lath, but most of this was for trans
shipment. Ontario's import sheet
showed 1.061,000 feet of lath imported
for the three months ended June 30.
1921, against 334.000 feet for the cor
responding period in 1920. Shingles

Engineering Efficiency
Race for Pennant.
BREMERTOX Wash., Aug. 20.
Five dreadnaughts of the Pacific j
fleet, the New Mexico. Idaho, Texas,
Mississippi and New York, leave Au
get sound navy-yard here about Au
gust 22 on their annual full-power,
endurance and smoke-prevention
trials in' a spirited race to San Fran
cisco. On the race all machinery will be
tested to its maximum to see if it
will stand the demands of war serv
ice and also to train the engine-room
crews In steaming at high sustained
speed. The trial Is expected to bring
forth the keenest rivalry between the
crews of the ships.
The competition between these big
ships of war will be in part for the
trophy given by the navy department
each year in the engineering compe
tition for the best record in dally
operating efficiency and in the an
nual speed results. In this competi
tion, standard penalties for casualties
to machinery, uneconomical operating
and the like are applied.
Competition in the engineering de
partment is similar to the tests in
the gunnery department. At the end
of each year, all scores made in both
departments are compiled and the
ship having the highest final merit
for the combined competitions Is
awarded the "battle efficiency pen
ant," know aboard ship sometimes as
the "meat ball."
The "meat ball" pennant is red,
with a black circle or ball in the cen
ter, and is flown while at anchor
from the foremast head or "truck"
of the winning ship. The "breaking."
or hoisting, of It for the .first time is
usually accompanied by proper cere
monies. A ship which ffas been awarded the
hiehest gunnery merit in Its class Is
entitled to a large white "E" for
"excellence," painted on Its conning
tower or other conspicuous place.
Likewise, the ship winning the high
est engineering merit is entitled to
a red "E" on its smokestack. At pres
ent the New Mexico has the battle
efficiency pennant and a white "E,"
while the Idaho has an "E" on both
its smokestacks.
In the steaming trials, officers and
men from other ships are sent to
"umpire" the contests and collect
necessary data to be sent to Washing
ton for use in compiling the total
scores.
BAKER CITY MAN SLAIN
Body of Murder Victim In Iowa
That of Ross Hammond.
FULTON, Mo., Aug. 20. (Special.)
The body of a man found murdered
at Braddyvllle. Ia., has been identi
fied by relatives from Barnard, Mo.,
as being that of Ross Hammond of
Baker City, Or. The first clew to
the identity of the man came with
the finding of a hat that bore the
Imprint of a firm at Baker City. Rel
atives at Barnard had received word
from Hammond that he was on his
way from Baker City to Indiana for a
visit and that he would stop in
Barnard.
The description of- the dead man
tallied so well with Hammond that
several of the relatives went to Brad
dyvllle to view the body and made
the identification complete.
Hammond at one time worked in
Barnard and in St. Joseph, Mo. He
was married in the latter city and
about a year ago went to Baker City.
He was a mechanic.
The Imprint of a woman's shoes in
the cornfield in which the body was
found is the only clew the authorities
have to work on. The body of Ham
mond was taken to Clarinda, la.
Authorities there say they expect to
make some arrests soon.
SALEM, Or., Aug. 20. (Special.)
That the people of the state may get
acquainted with its foreign-Americans
and learn more of their arts
and crafts, the state fair board has
arranged to have an all-Amerlcan
exhibit throughout the week of the
state fair, September 26-October 1.
and has appointed Mrs. Isaac Lee
Patterson of Salem directly in charge.
Mrs. Patterson is eminently quali
fied to undertake this work, through
her efforts in connection with the
Daughters of the American Revolu
tion, of which she is vice-president-general
of the national society.
In her work V making this exhibit
Mrs. Patterson will be assisted by
members of the same organization,
who will serve as assistant hostesses
and will lend aid in other ways.
Event Made Annual Affair.
The state fair board began this all-
Amerlcan feature for the first time
last year, when one day was given
over to the people of other lands
who had become citizens of the
United States. Essentially a pioneer
effort, it proved so successful and
genuinely satisfactory to those who
participated that it was deemed con
sistent to make it an annual event,
with not merely one day given over
to it, but the entire week's pro
gramme, including it as an outstand
ing feature.
Numerous booths will be estab
lished in the big educational build
ing, and in these the foreign-born
citizens of Oregon will have space to
display their handicraft and art
works distinctive to each nationality.
All of those who brought exhibits
last year will again send articles this
year, and the display will be greatly
augmented by the addition of a num
ber of other foreign-Americans being
represented.
These booths will be attractively
decorated with the national colors.
and aside from the educational phase
of the showing a commendable patri
otic side will be emphasized.
Portland Woman Chosen.
Other departments to come under
the heads of arts and crafts are those
of art and textile. Mrs. Alice Welster
of Portland is , to again serve as
superintendent of the former, enter
ing upon her sixth year. Mrs. Walter
J. Holman, also of Portland, is to
head the textile department. She
filled the same position last year.
Mrs. Welster will have as her is
sistant Mrs. J. Albert Jackson, who
has had a thorough art education
and is splendidly equipped to aid Mrs.
Welster In her endeavor of educat
ing the public to a higher apprecia
tion of art during hsr brief time at
the state fair.
Salem Artists to Enter.
Among Salem artists to enter pic
tures will be M. E. Pogue, well
known lawyer, who makes art his
avocation. Mr. Pogue has exhibited
paintings tor the last 20 years at the
Oregon state fair and has many blue
ribbons to his credit.
The art department will again be
in the new pavilion this year, butm it
Is expected by those most Interested
that a new building for arts and
crafts will be possible another sea
son. It is understood that a number
of women's clubs are to take up the
matter of securing an appropriation
f6r one, the tremendous educational
value of these exhibits making the
question imperative.
