the city, tha excavation begun last week
by C, J. Cook eo, at Sixth and

fallen to make way for the new, mod'

A tumble of t par 1,009 feet for

Is going the rounds among builders, as
a result of the increase of freight rates
on aaatbound lumber by tha tranacon-
tlnental lines. A revival of home build
lng and a tremendous fall and winter
building movement Is being predicted
by archltecta and builders.
There are architects who declare the
people of Portland and tha whole north'

that the more profitable the eastern

The printed price Hats of the Port
land lumber mill combination for the
last three years are produced to show
that in proportion aa tha eastern mar
ket haa been built up for Oregon lum
ber, the manufacturer In Portland
have raised prices to Portland consum

rough lumber, the basing grade, waa

$8.60 per 1,000 feet and tha mills were

builder $33. No. 2 finishing lumber waa

certain what, that luxury costs, but it
is around $4 per dump load whereas it
could be had in plenty three years ago

The archltecta and builders who deal
directly with the manufacturers and
keep in close touch with the meaning
of every rise or fall of the lumber mar
