Corner Morrison and Second Streets Logging camps along the Columbia river and tributaries will remain closed until the middle of August, so It was decided upon at a meeting held by a ma jority of the logging Interests yester day afternoon In this city. The camps closed down the Fourth of July for i month with the understanding that an other month's vacation might be added should it appear for the best Interests of the Industry. Some contended for another month's shutdown while others ravored resumption of buglnese at once. The fifteen-day period was agreed upon as a compromise. The reason for the closing down of tne camps is round In the fact that the output of logs was greater than the con sumption, so that a weakening market appeared Inevitable. To prevent this the loggers decided to shut down during the helarht of summer when helD Is scarce because of the demand for hands In the harvest fields and at the fishing grounds. It was, however, decided to ?et together again yesterday so as to eel the pulse of business and ascer tain how things stood. The consensus seemed to be that a longer shutdown would prove beneficial since there ap pears yet to be an aounaance or logs In the water, an estimate placing the quan- tv at about 6i).ouo,uoo reet. It la .understood that men are decided' ly scarce for the present owing to the great demand for farm hands In the wheat belts of Eastern Oregon. A num ber of the mn who were laid off the week before the Fourth have gone to the fishing grounds and are not yet ready to return to the tall timbers. r Bome i concessions were made la case where the loggers were under contracts ' to fill certain orders so that a few men may be employed at three or four of the camps after the first of August.
