'7'- LOSSES IN L OREGON UMBER EXPORTS 0 NINE MONTHS HEAVY Condition Affecting Colum bia River Due to One of Tonnage, It Is Shown, did Puget sound, and had an absolutely equal chance. If not a better opportun ity, to bid than the tidewater mills In I'oftland. Any candid study this lumber trade must convlnre a sane thinker that there are eictrnnrrtlnnrv condition t work this year affecting -water-borne ; commerce, and that these extraordinary conditions are not KOlng to be over come by hysteria and ranting etate i merits criticizing everybody within ear ; shot. FIGURES ARE PRESENTED Tot-sign Market and Ability to Beach That Market Controlling r ac tor in the Case. In thn first nine months of 1915 Oretron has lost heavily In her lumber export trade. Figures jtast presented bv th Paclflo Lumlker Inspection bu reau show that the loss for the Co lumbia river has beeri the highest for any ftlxtrirt In the northwest. That this fact. Is duo ' to the condition of tonnage and cannot be charged to any rate given on lumber nX the respective tidewater ports of the Pacific north west. v.;is nl.so apparent. Jteniizitiif the Columbia river's loss, it is found that for th first nine months of 1'Jlh the Columbia river shipped foreign .only F0,358,'378 feet as against J H s . 7 3 1 . ."i 7 4 feet for a like per iod In 1!H4. Tills shows a loss of hIiojh two-thirds of the foreign ex port business. The California shipments from Co lumbia .river for the first nine months of this oar was 17a, 871, 176 feet as iigalnst 'J25,lM.U5feet In 1914. Here also is shown a very heavy falling off in the trade that cirnnot be attributed even to tonnagu scarcity, for steam H'-hoorier.i, which convey the lumber from tho north Pacific to California, were, begging in the market for busi ness tho early months of this year. Xioss Is Indicated. The other domestic water-borne ship ments from the Columbia river for the first nine months of this year were 25.R51.1U7 feet as against 26.794.139 feet for the corresponding year of 1914. Here the loss is not appreciable, but the figures spell an enormous disap pointment for the lumber manufactur ers of this district as it was this movement that was expected to make a stupendous gain the present year as a result of the opening of the Panama canal. The total water-borne shipments for the first nine months of this year from the Columbia river aggregate hut i'54, 7SV;,iii feet. as agiilrmt 4 20.t'.39,S98 feet for the same period in 1914. ' In view of tile fact that lumber is offered at the mouth of the Columbia river and at many Intermediate, points between the mouth of the river and Portland at ss low, or lower, a fig ure than It Is offered at Portland. It Is being proven that railway rates along the Columbia rfver, or any other transportation rate affecting the Inter ior movement, is not the controlling factor, but it is the foreign market and the ability to reach that maket by being able to demand steamship ton nage necessary to handle the lumber. British Columbia Oalaa. British Columbia's total for the first nine months of this year was 60,408. 7f. feet ns against 29.616.612 feet in 1914. Here an Increase is noted be cause Hrliish Columbia has been given Hritlsh whipping to handle the material manufactured by British Columbia mills. Punet sound shipped In the water borne trade 339.100.S15 feet during the first nine mouths of this year as against 324.768.81u feet lai 1914. Tills region has made a slight Increase, due to the fact that liner servi.ee was main tained to the sound ports despite war. conditions, and the pound was also able to command Us shaie of the chartered shipping In addition. Grays Harbor dropped from 285,410. 297 feet in thw first nine months of 114. to 197.655.203 feet this year. U'illapa Harbor dropped from 97, 094.5SG feet to 49.21 1.990 feet. Coos I5ay dropped from 168,692.489 feet to U6.492.8S4 feet. The entire northwest in the first nine months of this year fell from 1,326,1 1 2,692 feet, to 1,047,650,288 feet. Controlling- Factor Stan. These losses in this region are ex perienced despite the fact that Wo have twice much available commercial standing timber as any other region, or as any other port of the entire Pa cific, and despite the fact that the manufacturing costs and the selling prices of lumbar at all of the Oregon ports can be, or should be, as low as at any other ports of tha entire Pacffio northwest. The lower Columbia had Just as much chance to bid on this business under the rates that exist as Book Has Many Western Views ; Collection Embraces Entlrs Paclflo : Coast From Arizona and Mexico to Alaska; Columbia Blvsr Included. Under the title, "The Land of Living Color." the Sunset magazine has issued a hook made up almost entirely of a (.election of color pictures of western landscapes which the magazine has published during the past few years. The collection embraces the entire Pa cific coast from Mexico to Alaska, from the painted desert of Arizona to the eternal snows and glaciers of the far north. Of local interest are views of Crater and Klamath lakes, Portland, Mult nomah falls, the mouth of the Colum bia river and Castle Rock. While in complete, enough views are given to convey a limited idea of the grandeur and magnificence of the scenic west, which are more appreciated by tour ists than by habitant. As stated in the letter press of the book, "Nowhere else along a similar stretch are there to be found greater variety, more natural beiiuty, wider contrasts and finer har monies. From Mexico to the home of the fierce Kodiak bears lies the region" or superlatives. In it are found the highest mountains, the lowest depres sions, the hottest, the driest, and the wettest spots in the country. It con tains the oldest, tallest, largest trees, tit- highest cliffs and waterfalls, the deepest chasm, the densest forests in aU tho world. Though it is part of tho youngest among the great nations, lti; mountains and relics reach back be yond man's vision into the prehistoric past. Spaniard and Britain and Rus sian left the imprint of their occupa tion on Its shores; the romance of Its golden treasure has found Its way into the literature of all peoplea. It is a region worth seeing, worth living in and worth building up." Feared Aberdeen Man Was Drowned Body of C. K. ghntt. President of Grays Harbor Logging Company, Be lieved Lying in Sam of mi, Aberdeen, Wash., Nov. 23. The last ray of hope that C. H. Shutt, president of the Grays Harbor Logging company, missing since early Thursday morn ing, still is alive, have practically vanished. The search for him, dead or alive, continues, but is hampered, as it has been from the start, with difficulties. Kfforts to raise the man hole f the dam behind which he is supposed to have drowned have thus far failed. Heavy freshets are pour ing down the Wishkah river streams, and these will make the opening of the manhole of no avail until the rain stops.

Being a school teacher, and finding that it was becoming more and more difficult to concentrate her mind on her work, she acted upon the advice of a friend and had us examine her eyes. The glasses we supplied relieved the eyestrain which caused the head aches and they disappeared. It is no longer an effort for. her to con centrate her mind upon the work before her.
