Such would be the case were there not finan cial reasons for the operation of the plants. Then, again, there has been an increase In the eastern and middle west demand for all classes of lumber from the Oregon and Washington mills, which relieves the San Francisco mar ket of much of Its dumped output. All In all, there Is a visible picking up in the pine field, which Is a subject of congratulation to the general lumber Interests." prayer before the 13,000 people who will gather at A., F.
