through the east, taken because he had
a hunch" that the price of, mga and
carpets might be elevated. He did
not want to be caught with stocks low.
and so hustled to the carpeting centers
and ordered a supply In excess of SO
per cent of what tha store normally
handles. .
"There may be a allgnt aievauon in
nsrntinar and rug prices provided this
war continues," said Mr- Casey. "Tha
war has brought about unsettled labor
conditions,':, and : this,'; 'X added ; to . the
shortage In good dyes and" tha high
Price of wool, is giving carpet manu
facturers plenty to think;, about. Mora
over, there Is m, shortage of Jute as
well. " .
'Tha munition factories hava drawn
many skilled workmen from textile
plants by offering higher wages, and
this has resulted in creating an artifi
cial labor shortage In tha carpeting
mills.
"In the far east I found both retail
and wholesale businesses particularly
gooa. ew xork retailers, for exam
ple, enjoyed the biggest trade in their
history between November and March
15. The city is crowded with buyers.
"Textile mills which have both dyea
and wool are shipping twice the stuff
they were last year, so great is the de
mand for merchandise. In the middle
west I found the retail business excel
lent also."
Cities visited by Mr. Casey Included
New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Chicago, St. Louis, Los Angeles and
San Francisco.

For a long time the forest service
has been anxious for the public to

pleasures of the national forests.

that there might be general sentiment

rangers to devise means of teaching
the lessons in an illustrated lecture
made Interesting by describing the pic
turesque life and methods of forest
rangers.
He is Albert K. Wiesendanger of the
Portland forest service office and he
has found crowded audiences eager to
listen, at the central and branch li
braries of the city, and land shows and
civic clubs have also furnished op
portunities which he has utilized.
His lecture shows how denuded
slopes become the paths of avalanches
with power to sweep trains off their
tracks, to splinter logs and twist rails.
Then he shows, In contrast, the firmly-holding
forested slope and points
how by careful harvesting of the tim
bered crop and sedulous replanting of
trees destruction and loss of life not
only are averted but substantial values
are returned.
The lecture takes up the fire dan
ger, shows hew millions of dollars'
worth of timber have been destroyed
In Oregon by fire, how fires are de
tected, located, fought and conquered,
how fires are caused by Incompletely
extinguished- camp fires, cigars, cig
arettes or carelessly dropped matches
and how a little care will prevent near
ly all forest fires.
The life of the forest ranger is a
most picturesque subject. Wiesendan
ger shows a series of views of camp
and trail. His pictures demonstrate
the loading of that freight train of the

carried out by the merchants will fit
