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. Stars are lu active demand
with the aupply short The price of
" that grade la 12.30 a thousand,- with
-clears at tl.iS t. o. b. mill. 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. The rsnslt line Is
small, and It is being sold out. At that

ported that a little north coaat lum
ber Is being sold In the Dakotas, and
dealers report a fair line of orders for

states.
"At Portland, Oregon. Inquiries for
' mill products are more frequent than
fhev were, while local demand Is Im
proving. California is buying little al
compared wun snipmenis a year ago.
Logs are quoted at IS.60 1o 39 a thous-

been received at Portland. The rail
roads are contracting for a moderate
amount of ties. At San Francisco red.

PLEA FOR FRANK

CONCRETE
Architect Wants New Style
v of Houses to Look
; Substantial.
"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." '
