Lumber manufacturers In many ln i.i.K.1 . Ariara thv are selling their product at the cost of the logs and man . ufacture and In some cases ss low as the cost of logs, which precludes any poaslblllty of a further decline in prices. In siting up general conditions of the lumber trade on the Pacific coaat the American Lumberman of Chicago has this to say: . ' ,"At Puget sound points lately has , developed considerable Inquiry for fir, spruce and cedar yard stock. This call comes from Montana and Nebraska to J i Urge extent. There has been some norease of foreign orders for fir. Lo cal orders at Seattle continue a favor able feature of the market. Some of the tlde-waler mills are running full capacity onTanama orders. The coaat wiae cargo trade Is still dull. None of the Interior Washington mills are run ning. A decided advance lately haa . been made In the pricea of red cedar ..ahlngles.

At Seattle prices of lumber are reported Indefinite and few are attempting to stir up any rail trade. - At Minnesota Transfer stocks of shingles In storage have reached J.000 carloads, and they are held at a varying range of prices.

"If you employ concrete, let It look like concrete, design for concrete, ellm 'Inate all thought of atone, brick, wood or plaster," aays Albert Moyer, a noted . purist in architecture. "Let the house . stand up and 'be able . to -'say to the t casual observer, 'I am solid, strong, aub- stantiai, auraoie, Deautirui and am ot concrete.' That which looks right to ' the trained eye Is right .' . "For country residences, particularly where there are winding, roads, trees, a i hillside and possibly rocks concrete treated as concrete looks right," Con tinuing the same authority says, that It would be difficult to evolve ftom the Imagination an original style of archi tecture, using the materials which have been worked and overworked for thou sands of years. The temptation to qppy, translate and transplant Is too great ' It is simpler, better and more in accord with nature's laws to develop an orig inal style - from the employment of a : different material than was previously used in the development of the older styles. . Convenience and adaptability seem to point to concrete as a material best suited to assist in developing what the Moyer calls "American Architect ture." ' Architect H. J.
