Leonard Bronson, manager of the Na tional lumber Manufacturers' associa tion, with headquarters at Chicago, Is In Portland today n a- tour of the Pa cific coast In the interest of th organ ization and the lumber Industry, : Mr. Bronson was for a number of years,' un til January 1, last, editor In chief of the American Lumberman and Is considered perhaps the best posted man pertaining to the lumberlndustry , In the, United BtSteS. , " ' ( U' v; Mr. Bronson arrived yesterday and is registered . at tha Portland. Today he (s attending tha opening session of the Second Annual Logging congress in the Forestry building and Saturday ha will be guest of honor at a luncheon to be given by tha members of tha Oregon & Washington Lumber Manufacturers as sociation at the .Portland Commercial Club. SE .-.I-; ;. ':rr-, . .-; :. Troblea tot Jjunbermea. , . ."The greatest problem confronting - the lumber manufacturing .Industry of tha United States : today is the . dispo sition of the low grade material," eald, Mr. Bronson tn speaking of trade con ditions, "There is a big demand for falgh grade lumber, but this cannot be said of the low grades, which enter largely In the manufacture of lumber. This is due to two causes, substitution and the reduction .of duty on Canadian lumber. Tha fact that large quantities of boxes are coming to be manufactured of other material than wood is of no 11 1- tie concern to , the lumber Industry. Then came the reduction In the duty on Canadian lumber which meant Increased competition principally in the low grade markets, for while the Canadian mill men like the manufacturer In the states, could always II nd a market in this coun try for the high grade material Irre spective of the duty, he had difficulty In disposing of the low grade material. ."Thus the trouble was accentuated by the reduction of the duty-and yet the final consumer was benefited not at alL It simply meant a larger supply of low grade material with which the market was already abundantly provided. i ' ' Opposed to Conservation, ' "This question is one that will not be easily solved and it is a serious mat ter because It works In direct opposi tion to the movement for the conserva tion of natural resources which tha lum- ber manufacturers are heartily indors ing and supporting. 'Matters of this kind are subjects for the, national association to study and solve if a solution can be found. The association is the senate of the lumber manufacturers' eesociatlons In tho states and It represents all i seo tlcr.s. from the yellow pine districts of the south to the fir districts of the Pacific coast and the redwood dis tricts of California, v ' t "When the tariff was np for revision we fought for retention of the duty on lumber because we knew that a redue-i tlon would have an evil effect upon the ii'dustry without materially benefiting the oonsumer. The public had gained the wrong Impression of conditions and In the middlo states there was a cry for lower tariff. Entire ' removal of thi duty would have been a disastrous blow to one of the most important In dustries in the country without bene fiting anyone except1 the .foreign manu facturers and the foreign shipowners," Canal mU Aid Trade, - ' , "That the opening of. the " Panama canal will, bring Oregon fir . into its own is the prediction of Mr. Bronson. The opening of the canal will be of im mense importance to the "lumber indus try, he explains, for it will open fields to the Oregon lumber manufacturer from which he is now excluded by the high transportstlon charge neeesst. tatid by the costly haul over the moun tains. . ' ' V ; "Lumber manufactured tn Oregon reaches the middle states only tn such Quantities as might be- required for special ' purposes because competition with yellow pine from the south will not permit paying tha high freight. But with the completion of the Panama canal it will be possible to ship lumber from Portland to New Tork or other Atlantlo coast porta by water for about half the rate now charged by the rail roads. Thus markets 600 miles or more inland from the Atlantic, coast may be reached on ; competition terms. ' , - SlgU Tide of Tellow rine, - "The manufacture of yellow pine is now at Its senlth and.lt will gradually diminish, although so slowly as to be hardly noticeable in the next decade. But the output will - lessen and each succeeding year more rapidly after the first decline is noted. Then' the Ore gon fir will be called upon to fill the bill and some day it will be the one lea-ling soft wood lumber In the United States." V r-:: -'X:Xk : s Mr. Bronson looks upon the standing timber of the Pacific, northwest as. a wonderful asset "Timber was never known to decline In value." he said, "and the fortunes that have been made in the lumber in dustry, have been made largely in the Increase in value of "stumpage. There! is noi mucn money in ins manuiac ture of lumber, but the man who can buy timber has a sure thing, eliminat ing the fire hatard, and it la gradually being reduced to the minimum, ' To Consecrate) New Bishop. , Vancouver, B. : C July 1L Roman Catholics throughout western Canada arc looking forward with eager Interest to the consecration of Rev.

" Albert Price, Muskogee, Okla, It looks as if there would be a good chance for many Oklahoma farmers to move to Canada shortly. In tne vicinity of Blackwell the crops of all kinds have practically bten a failure for the past rour years and the fanners are becom lng discouraged.. Lack of moisture seems to be the principal' trouble. B. N. Josephs Vlncennes, Ind The should be an Insurance company in this country that would have the nerve and could charge rates high enough to Insure timber Jand. It seems to me that there is a good field for that sort of business and I understand that there Is no such an insurance company doing business in this country. Lloyda of London should take th la matter up. ; I understand they will insure anything. . , Harold Simpson.
