LUMBER ORDER BIG
FRENCH GOVERNMENT WANTS
AN EXOIIMOUS SUPPLY
Piigct Sound and Columbia River
Mill Hid on Furnishing Two
Hundred Million Feet
War orders aro now beginning to
bo received on tho Pacific. An
enormous ordor for lumber for tho
French government Is bolng bid on
by tho mlllB of tho North. Tho Oro
gonlan of yesterday tells the follow
ing of tho big ordor:
"Lumber mills on tho Colum
bia Illver and Pugot Sound have
Just been Invltod to bid on 200,000,-
1000 foot of fir lumbor for lmmediato
delivery to tho French government.
Contract With Ilrokcr.
"Contracts for all this material
havo beon placed with a San Fran
cisco lumber broker. Tho entlro
ordor Is to bo filled by mills In Ore
gon and Washington.
It Is understood, however, that
tho ordor will bo distributed exclu
sively among tho mills on tho Col
umbia Klvor and on tho Sound. All
tho big mills In Portland aro bidding
on portions of tho ordor varying from
10,000 to n0,000,000 feet. Tlio
work will bo nnportlouod among
them, It Is understood, within the
next few wcoks.
Want Italroad Ties
"Tho ordor calls for 5 largo quan
tity of railroad tloi and for lumbor
of othor varying dimensions to bo
used, doubtless, In lining trouches
and In othor battlofront activities,
"Competition for this business Is
said to bo keon, and It is probable
that tho price- that will accruo to
tho mills will not oxceed $12 or $13
por thousand,
"At this flgtiro tho entire order
will bring approximately $2,600,000
worth of business Into tho torrltory.
It will onablo many mills that now
nro running on part tlino or at
partial capacity to run on full tlnio
and to tho limit of tholr respective
capacities.
French Finnish Routs
"Under terms of tho contract
between tho French authorities and
tho Ban Francisco brokerago firm
tho lumber Is to bo dollvorod f.o.b,
at tho mills, Tho French govern
ment is to provide transportation.
According to present arrangements
tho shipment will bo handled en
tirely by water. This Is more like
ly to bo true in the ovcut tho Pan
ama Canal Is open by tho tlnio tho
business starts to move.
May On by Hall.
"If the Canal Is not open by that
tlnio It Is possible that tho wholo
movement will go to tho Atlantic
seaboard by rail. In that event,
howovor, somo difficulty mny bo ox
perloncod in gottlug cars to carry
it. Tho rails now nro confronted
with tho dual difficulty of a car
uhortago in tho lntorlor und traf
fic congestion at the Atlantic ter
minals. Howovor, tho French purchasers
aro to ussuiiio tho risk of trans
porting tho shipment and tho re
sponsibilities of tho local mills aro
to ceuse when tho finished product Is
dollvorcd either on tho cars or on
tho ships nt tholr siding or docks.

WILL E EFFECTIVE AT ONCE
Isaac It. Towor, southwestern
Oregon roprcsontntlvo of tho Ovor
land nutos which havo mado tho big
gest hit of tho 1910 motoring sea
son, today received word that In con
sequonco of tho increased output,
the prlco had boon reduced SCfi por
car. This means that tho Overland
touring enr can bo sold and dollvor
cd In Marshriold for $830 and tho
Ovorland runabout for $810.
Tho announcement recolvod today
will glvo tho Ovorland a further
hold on tho nuto business and will,
autolsts bollove, mnko It by far tho
leading car of 1010. Mr. Towor Is
olatcd over tho announcement today
as it will ennblo a number of Coos
County peoplo to tako advantngo of
it.
CJIvo Reasons Why
Tho WlllyB-Overlnnd Company of
Toledo, manufacturers of tho fam -
oils Overland, In announcing tho ro
'ductlou of $tr In tho prlco of tho
car today say thnt sovoral things en
abled thorn to mnko tho cut In prlco.
In tho first plnco, thq domand ox
ceedod tholr expectations and tho
incronsod output to moot it reduces
tho cost of production por car. In
tho first six months, of tho reduced
prlco, ovar 50,000 cars worn Bold.
This coupled with tho fact that tho
company placed tholr material or
ders boforo tho war domand incrcaso
took effect on thoni enabled thorn to
mnko tho big reduction,
' LnNt Reduction
In closing tho nnnouueomont of
tlio reduction, tho Overland peoplo
say:
" Tho valuo Is pro-omiuont un
approacked. "Wo g.'.aranteo that tho
prlco of this model will novor bo
lower.
" Rut this prlco reduction is mado
in tho fnco of a rising matorial mar
hot wo ennnot guurautoo that It
will not bo hlghor."
In consoquenco of tho great de
mand for Overlands. Mr. Towor rr
quests thnt all figuring on getting
nutos soon seo him at once bo that
ho will bo nblo to guarantee tho do
livery of tho Ovorland when thoy
want It. A llttlo later, tho rush oi
dors at tho Ovorland factory mny
mnko It difficult to get tho curs
quickly.
JOKE ON SIMPSON
L. J. Simpson and R. P. Kohoo
