UNDERWOOD TARIFF IS BLAMELESS FOR BRITISH COMPETITION Falling Off of Immigration Causes Dull Lumber Mar ket in Canadian Provinces, C. B, MOORES ANSWERED Kaput) lie an Campaign Klsrsprsssnta- tloa Shown TJp hj Xsfarsacs to XssI Situation, Competition of British Colnmbia awmills with Oregon and Washing ton lumber manufacturers in the mid dle states markets is attributed to the dull demand for lumber In the Ca nadlan prairie provinces, as a result of the falling off of immigration there more than to the reduction of the. tariff on lumber, as claimed by those who blame the Democratic admlnls tration for everything, Including the war In Europe. The assertion of Charles B. Moores chairman of the Republican state ceni tral committee. In a recent Interview In the Oregonian to the effect that thousands of men In the lumber indus try are idle because of the Under wood tariff law, is pointed out as mis leading in that it says that the lum ber business of Oregon and Washing ton was active till the adjustment of the tariff. Canada Iig"nt Consumer. While lumber men here generally favor a high tariff on foreign lumber, It is admitted that the competlion offered by the British Columbia mills In the Minneapolis and other middle states markets is due largely to the fact that the Canadian markets are for the present very light consumers as compared with a couple of years ago. In 1912 it Is said great quanti-1 ties of lumber for building purposes were shipped from Oregon and Wash ington mills into Saskatchewan, Al berta and other provinces across the line tn direct competition with the British Columbia product which then was at disadvantage in finding mar kets here because of the tariff. But the immigration into the Canadian country fell off and when the new settlers had become provided with dwellings and barns for their live stock there was a very material fall ing off in the demand for lumber of all kinds. This forced the mills of Oregon and Washington as well as British Columbia to seek a new out' 1st for .this grade of stock and they nterad into keen competition In the midd'e states Into which freight rttes make It possible to ship from the Pacific coast and from British Colum bia on an equal basis. In this con nection It la regarded quite probable that the British Columbia manufac turers would offer equally keen com petition to the mills of Oregon and Washington In competitive .territory ! even If handicapped by a tariff of II or 1 2 per thousand, when facing an overproduction because of a poor lo cal demand and restrained shipping facilities because of the war. Tutors Looking Bright. "The truth of the matter," said a big shipper of lumber here, "Is that the lumber business has been bad for the past seven years except In short spurts. Conditions were improving when the European war broke out and lumber like other lines of Industry be came disturbed. However, indications now favor a good demand soon and some improvement has been noticed the past few weeks. The railroads have placed some substantial orders with Paclific Northwest mills, and for eign couritries are inviting bids. Aus tralia will probably be a very large purcnaser because of the difficulty that will be experienced for some time in making deliveries from the Baltic ports and other sources of sup ply, and a representative here a few days ago for the Australian govern ment said that in the near future Australia would probably place orders with Pacific Coast mills that would Involve from $1,000,000 to $2,000,000. India is in the market for railroad! ties and If lower water rates are put Jnto effect to the Atlantic coast by way of the canal, the Atlantic states will prove a big outlet for lumber. The canal route will open, new mar ket to lumber and lumber products. This will mean a strengthening of the general market, and an Increased de mand for Oregon lumber and-less com petition from British Columbia. Coming to Show. Forest Grove, Or., Oct. 21. At the regular semi-monthly meeting of the business men of Forest Grove held last evening at the Laughlln hotel a delegation of Portland men represent ing the Land Products show in Port land were present and made addresses.
