."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
