C. A. Smith Lumber & Manufacturing

teresting from a newspaper standpoint
for the reason that It Is the largest
Illustrated write up of this sort ever
published in a trade Journal, filling- Just

Owned by the same Interests.
The method of' logging Is Illustrated
and asthe C. A. Smith Interests are of
the few In this country who care for
their timber Under scientific supervis
ion, It is explalnted how care la taken
by the chief forester in seeing that one
eeed tree Is left on each acre of land
logged over, for the purpose of repro
ducing. Fires are kept away from the
L Alcond growth that springs up from the
seed, deposited by the one tree left,
y find n th rrowth In tha Pnoi Rav
region is probably greater than any
where else on the Paciflo coast, and Is
estimated to be 1000 feet per acre per
year, on the C. 'A. Smith timber hold
ings of nearly 200,000 acres in the Vi
cinity of Coos Bsy, the annual growth
would be nearly 200,009,000 feet, and
as the output of the mills is about 160,
000,000 annually, it Is seen that theoret
ically at least the C. A. Smith inter
ests are providing for perpetual lum
bering. Practical Conservation.
This is a matter In which the publto
Is concerned, for It in a measure solves
the problem of the future supply of
building material. It is an example of
practical conservation and shows that
in large hands It is possible to provide
for the timber supply of future gen
erations, and at the same time carry on
active manufacturing operations. Un
der the supervision of the forester who
Is a Biltmore graduate, the Smith in
terests maintain a nursery at Marsh
field where experiments are being car
ried on In reproducing various kinds of
trees from eeed. Not only are the woods
native to Washington, Oregon and Cali
fornia planted, but also eastern and
southern woods, such as yellow pine,
gum, and various kinds of hard woods
are being grown in the nursery and ac
curate records kept of the annual de
velopment, and In years to come this
information will be of value if it proves I
necessary to plant some of the cut over I
lands so as to reproduce other forests
than fir.

Nothing more . clearly shows the
growing prosperity of the country thin
the large- orders for steel rails, for 1918
delivery, made by the railroad compa

orders for next year's delivery, as re
ported from Pittsburg; Include 80,000

25,000 tons for the Norfolk & Western;
20,000 tons for the Burlington, and 40,

ing a 'total of 1J5.000 tons for these
four systems. . .
While these roads are regular buyers
of rails, they are by no means the larg

It is reported, says the Pittsburg dis

For the accommodation of stock rais
ers In transacting business on a cash
basts If they so desire, the Portland
Cattle Loan company has been organised
nere, with Walter B. Dickey as presi
dent and manager. Mr. Dickey was for
merly cashier of the Livestock National
bank at Sioux City.
The company hus offices at the Port
land Union stockyards in North Port
land, and Is thus conveniently located
for the stockmen who come Into the city
with stock shipments. The men inter
ested In the company are prominent
bankers and capitalists,- and the direc
tors are W. M. Ladd, president of Ladd
tk Tilton; A. L. Mills, president of the
First National bank; J. C. Alns worth,
president of the United States National
bank. E. R. Corbett, assistant cashier
of the First National bank: William
Pollman, president of the Baker Loan &
Trust company; C. M. Bair, capitalist;
C. Colt, president of the Union Meat
company; D. O. Lively, vice president
of the Portland Union, stockyards, and
Mr. Dickey.
Other Stockholder.
Other stockholders are: Edward Til
den, president of the National Packin
company; Louis F. Swift, president of
Swift & Co., and Fdward E. Bwlft, vice
president of Swift & Co.
Mr. Dickey came here recently from
Sioux City, and a few days prior to his
leaving there, a Sioux City paper con
talned the following account of his con'
nection with the new Portland Institu,
tlon:
"Walter Dickey cashier of the Live
stock National bank, will become presl
dent of the Portland Cattle Loan com
pany in Portland, Or
-"Mr. Dickey was called Into Chicago
recently to listen to a proposition from
Edward Tilden, Louis Swift snd other
financiers of the packing world. It in
eluded a large Increase over the salary
he was drawing in Sioux City. Mr,
Dickey took the matter under consider
ation and on Friday In Chicago accepted
tne proposition.
Xiooal Bankers Directors.
"Five bankers -f Portland will be dl
rectors in the Portland Cattle Loan com
pany. Headquarters will be at the Port
land stockyards. The presumption I
that eventually the packers will estab
llsh a stockyards bank there, Just as
tney did in Sioux City.
"Mr. Dickey has been with the Live
stock National bank 12 years, having
started as teller. The business has en'
Joyed a phenomenal increase, and the
recognition which has been given Mr.
Dickey Indicates that the packers give
him a good share of the credit for the
development of the business here."

October; made publlo last week, brought
to light a surprising condition 1 in the
steel trade, as it showed a gain during
October of 83,011 tons; while September
had shown a loss of 84,66$ tons. -
"Usually there are many predictions
as to. what the October showing will
be, but this year there was a remark
able lack Of forecast. The feeling In
the, trade, however, was that If October
showed as good bookings as September
it would be. all that could be expected,
and would show a fairly satisfactory
condition. The -. showing, however, Is
vastly more favorable than this, the
difference between September's loss and
October's gain amounting to j nearly
170,000 tons. , "
"For a fortnight past there has been
a general feeling In the Iron, and steel
tradd that the, turning point had been
reached. . -.
Stocks At Xow Sftb. -'
"Reports from all over the country
are to the effect that stocks of iron
and steel, in the hands of both Jobbers
and manufacturing ' consumers, have
for weeks been at the lowest possible
ebb, and at a level which would not
permit the ordinary conduct of busi
ness, were the mills not able to make
very prompt shipment on new specifi
cations, which ordinarily they cannot.
Once such a move started It would
rapidly gain headway, through' the
mills falling behind, If only two or
three weeks. In their deliveries On fresh
specifications. .
"Pig iron production in October
showed a comfortable gain over Sep
tember, and a heavy increase over Oc
tober, 1910, snd is' now st the rate of
25,000,000 tons tt year. Shipments of
pig iron snd steel products are fully up
to the Increased pace of production.
"A report full of Interest to the
steel trade and of wide genera Interest,
which gained circulation last week, but
which wss not definitely confirmed,
credited' the New York Central with
having given an order for 10,000 steel
cars for next year's delivery.
