Europe High Freight . Rate '
o' r Only, Iiimits Business.
Oregon spruce Is being used In the
construction of the aeroplanes that ar
now figuring so prominently .in the
great European war. During the past
few mouths more than 5,000,000 feet
of spruce clears have been shipped
from Oregon and Washington wills to
the warring nations. More would have
been forwarded but -for the inability
to get cargo space here or on the
Atlantic coast. ' '
As a result of the strong demand,
spruce clears 'have advanced in value
to . S40 per thousand, whereas a year
ago similar grade was worth IS2 or
thereabouts. To haul it to England or
France, however, Vis an expensive oper
ation, the current freight rate being
about 200 shillings per thousand.
It is said that the spruce manuf acj
turera could dispose of all the material
their plants could cut were cargo space
available. In addition to the 5,00.0,000
feet already forwarded, it is said the
mills in the Columbia river district
are now cutting on orders for at- least
1,000.000 : feet to be delivered within
the next 90 days. The British admir
alty, it is reported here, will send at
least three steamers to the Columbia
river to carry spruce, in addition to fir;
which will make up the bulk of the
cargoes. The demand has 'advanced
spruce logs to $9 per thousand.
While unable to enter this market
for " lumber for its aeroplanes, "Ger
many and Austria, have access, to the
mills on the Baltic for material they
may wish to Import. ;
