VANCOUVER. B. C Feb. 11. (Spe
cial.) Cedar log shipments to the
orient have taken a sudden jump for
ward and during the past few jreeks
more than 30.0n0.000 feet have been
looked on various steamers' bounJ
for Japan.
To save space, eliminate carrying
f unnecessary bark, and to assist in
complying with the provincial gov
ernment regulations of manufactured
lumber instead of logs going out- of
the country, this cedar is. in most
cases, slabbed and squared until it
Is now known in the lumber world
ma cedar Jap squares, and is rated as
uch on the ships' papers.
The demand for cedar in Japan Is
Increasing and the British Columbia
market ia finding difficulty in sup
plying the requirements. Cedar logs
of dimensions to meet the large
ftpeclncations are difricnlt to get and
the shingle manufacturers assert
that this export of cedar In large
Kiuarrs and logs Is having the ef
fect of keeping the cedar log market I
o strong that shingles cannot be
ade and put in the market at prices
that are attractive to the trade.
fhingle prices are slack now and no
firming Is in sight to warrant the
manufacturer paying the prices that
are naked by the loggers. Consider
able celar is also going to mills on
I'uget sound. This helps to swell the
general export and reduce stocks in
the British Columbia market. While
the majority of the logs going out of
the country are of the No. 2 class, the
vhingte men nevertheless contend
that the general market is affected.
Two Blllloa Shingles Cat.

went Into the United States market.
This report is on all grades.
Plans for the centralizing of- all
shingle saU-s are being rapidly per
fected and in another month it Is ex
pected that no shingles can be bought
In this market except through the
shingle-selling agency. The associ
ation will then devote much time and
money to advertising the cedar
shingle, not only In the eastern Ca
nadian market, but in the United
States. Co-operating with the shingle
association of the western states, the
advertising campaign will be con
ducted on a large scale.
Simple shipments will also be made
to China and Great Britain In an en
deavor to introduce the.cedar shingle
In those markets.

I. her Market Qalet.
In the lumber market a spirit of
fluiet prevails except for inquiries.
To try to coax the buyers oui of
th. ir Indifferent positions the export
ers here have reduced the price of
Tin rchantahle lumber from $19.50 to
$17.0 per thousand, but even this
does not appear to have had the de
aired effect.
There is much criticism of the ad
Vhtire In prices in December, as-the
buyers assort that the rise was not
warranted and as a result tney are
buying In other markets. A number
of local brokers who sold futures and
bought space before lumber advanced
acre forced to cover at high prices
and take their losses a few weeks
en. Now the prices are off a little,
but they were already caught short.
Freight rates on lumber are still
soft to the orient, and the endeavor
ninde to advance the rates to
the Atlantic coast resulted in a slump
to $14. Combinations of steamship
lines are being made. This, it is ex-pet-ted.

"frankly communistic" The telegram
lonows in part:
-Millions of innocent children in
Russia will die unless every available
legitimate relief agency Is utilized,
ana we mink it would be a .crime
against humanity to have our 'wide

unquestioned Americanism, is the best
possible guarantee of our entire in

opportunity we are confident we can
convince you the work we are doing
is entitled to your indorsement.
"Will you kindly put us in posses

you the full facts of the case?"
The telegram was signed by Walter

Movement Designed to Combine
Independent Vote of State
Against Old Parties.
BOISE. Idaho. Feb. 11 (Special.)
The predicted merger between the
non-partisan league and the liberal
partv, which has the backing of the
committee of 48. has taken place in
the state of Idaho. At a conference
of the leaders of the league, held at
Nam pa. this week. It was decided to
accept the third of three alternatives
facing the league. They were: Nom
inating a league ticket by petition,
joining with the democrats, or con
solidating with the liberals.
League leaders disliked the first
proposition. They were absolutely
opposed; to Joining with the demo
erats, and they believe 'they see In the
liberal party movement an oppor
tunity to combine the Independent
vote In this state and make a strong
showing at the polls.
Platform. Is Promulgated.
The formai action In agreeing upon
the consolidation or merger resulted
in the promulgation of a platform to
which the non-partisans and the lib
erals subscribe.
The political history of the non
partisan league in this state, so far
as actual success in acquiring office
is concerned, has not been of the best.
although the league polled more votes
In the last general election than ever
before. The organization's strength
Is among the rural residents of the
state the farmers. It has an influ
ence among the independent voters.
The amalgamation, leaders in the:
her political parties believe, is not
going to be seriously detrimental to
them, although they say they are not
discounting it and in their plans for
the coming campaign will give It
careful consideration. The movements
of the non-partisans and the liberals
have been carefully checked. Party
leaders declare they know exactly
what is going on and will be prepared
to meet any attack that the amalga
mation . makes.
In his address to the conference at
Nampa, Ray McKaig. recognized
eader of the non-partisans, took to
task the major parties for their al
leged failure to 'economize in state
affairs in Idaiio and to lighten the
tax burden.
Democrat Flirt With League.
He openly charged that one of the
leaders of the democratic party had
approached him with a proposition
tor toe union of that party with the
league. He said he had given the
leader to understand that uch a
union was Impossible. The charge
created a sensation. McKaig said
that he would name the democrat
during the campaign.
The state central committees of th.
league and the liberals will meet later
to Determine the details for the cam
paign to be conducted Jr this state
uuring me present year.
personally, ia order to collect a""
bounty, will work a hardship in a I
great many cases, say county officers
here. Most hunters reside in the
mountains, and t a man has only a
few skins to present, it is pointed
out. It will cost him more to make
a trip to the county seat than the
bounty is worth.
Before this law was adopted hunt
ers could send in their skins with
a neighbor, or whenever one resident
of a mountain community had busi
ness at the county seat all could send
in the skins for bounties. Following
this custom, William Buchanan, who
resides near Cascadia, sent in the
pelts of five bobcats and a coyote. A
neighbor coming to Albany on busi
ness brought them, but was unable
to collect the bounty, ir Buchanan
has to make a special trip to get the
bounty he will lose money in the
venture.

political preference."
The governor said the republican
party was faced with the task of
restoring the people's confidence in
themselves and good government. To
do this he said the party leaders
should 'preach the old-time doctrine
of party organization. There is no
other way to effect reform except
through party organization, he declared.

Hundreds of Acres of Land Sold
and Promoter Heads Syndicate -to
Develop Own Holdings.
EL DORADO. Ark., Feb. 11. (Sper
cial.) Hundreds of new schemes of
promotion yearly are recorded in the
great oil fields of the southwest, but
it remained for G. S. Smith, a citizen
of Portland, Or., to break all former
records for nerve and assurance In his
own proposition, for Smith has pro
moted an oil syndicate and has guar
anteed his unit holders that he will
get oil. Should he fail to strike oil
he says that the money invested with
him will be returned to those who in
vest, according to information . re
ceived from his office and literature
which he has sent out.
Smith came to El Dorado from Port
land five months ago and since his
arrival has purchased and sold hun
dreds of acres of oil lands. A short
time ago when the first trend of oil
operations headed southeast. Smith
purchased a 20-acre tract in what
was then strictly wildcat territory.
Last week the Johnson, Bland &
Welsh well, located within 500 feet
of this tract, shot over the derrick,
and today this lease is worth many
times its original value.
Another feature of the Smith syn
dicate is that all qf the stockholders
are residents of Portland, Smith's
home town, and no unit-holder was
allowed to purchase more than one
unit valued at par ?10. The capitaliza
tion of .the company, being $30,000,
this would mean that 2500 to 3000
citizens of Portland own' an interest
in Smith's 20-acre tract in this field.

While of course we want to secure the very best expe

within him "that something" which will lead him to success
if properly guided and given the right opportunity. Limited
experience, plus character, a lot of ambition, industry and
a desire to achieve are the prime factors we are looking for
in young men. Investigation will prove that this is an excep
tional opportunity.
The investment of money is not necessary for your
success with us. The financial backing of our company is
ample. What we need are young, healthy, vigorous and
capable salesmen who are determined to go to the top while
they have youth and energy. We pay you while you are
proving your ability.
Here is our proposition outlined briefly:
Men come to us first as retail salesmen in one of
our stores. During the period of proving their
ability they learn the greater possibilities of co
operative effort. Their progress depends upon their
ability and effort. As our new stores are opened,
the managers are selected from our sales force.
When a man makes a success of the management,
he is sold a one-third interest in a new store and be
comes its manager. He may afterward acquire a
' partnership in other stores which are the outgrowth
of the one in which he first received a financial in
terest. " To those who do not possess the capital
to purchase a one-third interest in a new store, the
money is loaned by the J. C. Penney Company and
is repaid from subsequent profits of the store.
The J. C. Penney Company) which was started in 1902
with one store, now operates 312 stores in 27 states, selling
dry goods, shoes, clothing for men, women and children, and
kindred goods. If you have had thorough experience as a
retail salesman in one or more of these lines you meet our
first requirement.
We have 24 stores in Oregon, located at Albany, Astoria, Athena,
Baker, Bend, Corvallis, Dallas, Enterprise, Eugene, Forest Grove, Hood
River, LaGrande, Lakeview, Lebanon, McMinnville, Marshfieid, Milton,
