REPORTS generally Indicate
that there has been an Im
provement In tho lumber mar
ket conditions on tho Pacific Coast.
In Washington, mills which' liavo
been closed aro starting operations
again and in Mnruhtlold tho Smith
mill has started to run flvo days
a yvcok Instead of four days, which
moans nn Increaso of 25 per tont
in tho output nud a llko Increaso In
tho amount of money that can bo
earned by tho omployes. Wh'llo tho
lumber Industry as It affects tho
Pacific Coast cannot bo said to
havo reached anywhoro Its normal
condition, there Is no question that
thero Is an lmpravoment. However
slight that might bo tho offoot Is
, far-reaching and will at unco bo
felt on account of thu fact that tho
luuibor Industry Is Mich a big fac
tor in tho busluoHs affairs of tho
coast and particularly this purt cf
Oregon. Owing to a poor market
tho retail ynrds n California havu
carried small stocks of lumber on
bund and with an Increased doinaml
tho results como directly through
to tho manufacturer. It has boon
folt for some tlmo past that thoro
would ho better times soon for thu
lumbermen. In California thoro havo
boon good crops with consequent In
creases In lumber purchases. In tho
Kiwt times uro prosperous and with
communities making nioiioy more
lumber Is bought and tho result Is
beginning to bo folt on tho Paolflo
Coast. On top of tho butter out
look for tho lumbermen como tho
reports from Eastern centers that
tho holiday trade Is to bo tho big
gest sluco 1D0C. Tills moans that
money Is bolng spent and even If
tho tmmo conditions did not apply
to tho Pacific Coast tho result would
bo folt hero Just tho same. With
n healthy holiday trade; which Is
always a good buroinotor of finance,
nud with tho lumbor buslnoHS, our
chief Industry, looking much bat-;
tor, thoro Is cortnlnly roason to look
forward to a good start In tho now J
year. Lumbermen nil ngreo that a
settlement of tho Europoan war
would mako so groat a domand for
