Lumhr manufacturers look for a
! graduaf improvement in rail business
and are quite confident of a good local
demand for building material this com
ing spring and Summer. Talk of build
ing projects Is much in evidence and
indications point to Portland being fa
vored with many new structures during
the year.
The low price of material is doing
much to encourage undertakings in this
line, as does also the possibility of ob
taining competent mechanics. For a
while last year, during the rush, it was
difficult to secure help even at the
then prevailing high prices. Today it
would not require much hustling to
muster a crew to erect an ordinary
Cargo shipments are going to play an
important part In relieving the local
mills of material that would have gone
by rail but- ror tne increased rreight
rate to points east cf 'the Rockies. The
British ship Jordanhlll arrived here this
week to load a cargo of lumber for
Newport, England, and there are five
steamers in tne river loading ror China,
Australia, Japan and the Philippines. -
California is expected to show a re
newed activity In 'the building line this
summer and the fact that stocks have
run low since operations were checked
last fall goes to brighten the prospects
tor a lairiy gooa aemana xrom mat
quarter.
From the eaat .comesthe report that
among the more favorable indications
looking to the coming spring trade 1.
the tendency toward building In the
lesser cities and the villages all over
the country, as well as In the suburbs
and the greater-cKies. In Chlcaa-o. as
one Instance, there has been a notice
able Increase of permits recenfy. There
as well as here cheaper lumber Is said
to be Inducing building.
For the present weather conditions
are satisfactory for building and it is
quite apparent tuat during the next few
weeks local lumber dealers will be
calling for large quantities of material
to enter In the construction of dwel
lings, flat buildings 'and apartment
houses In this city. - Prices show nn
signs of recovering 'despite the im
proved tone of the market and as com
pared with conditions a year
are rare bargatn
