He said in part; Association work in tha' lumber la duatry baa so far centered chiefly around tha establishment of grading eystems and inapectioa 'of market condi tlona, and In some . caaea - the promotion bf tha aale of particular woods. - The" work that has been done has been excellent aa far aa it has aTona, but cooperative activ ity must, in the future, take the place of individual efforts In many additional . Unea, - We are entering upon a new stage of industrial de velopment In which team work will tell aa never before." Cost Aooouatlag' Tltal. Among : the necessary nlargements of coopera tive endeavor in the various b ranches of the lumber industry may ba men tioned cost accounting. The prime need la for a general knowledge among; the lumber manufacturers of the actual coat of production Until the lumber manufacturers throughout the country know more clearly, more promptly and mora con stantly what it Is costing them to produce every Item they sell, they will not bave the fundamental basis for tha adoption of right merchandis ing principles. In many lines, selling agencies are an effective means of stabilizing a market and merchandising a com raodlty with profit to the producers and good services to consumers. Co operative marketing- organisations in the agricultural field sell one btl non. dollars worth of products year ly, and the public is benefitted by tne standards thus established. Staadaxdlxatlera Zs Veededv Ther IS a call for a better standardisation and diversification . of grades, the trade marking- of lumber and corre sponding publicity based, upon the effective mail order -and department store merchandising principles one price ,to all and "your money back if riot satisfied." The applica tion of such principles as these gave one mall order house a business of $146,000,000 last year, and gross re ceipts of more than 1500,000,000 each to twr packing houaea. The lumber lnduatry also greatly 1 needa scientific help in determining the properties and best uses of ita present products. No architect . or engineer thinks of using steel with out protecting it Trom rust, nor does he hesitate to give it a fire-resistive covering. How much have the lumber manufacturers helped the users of their products to eprotect them from decay and fire? British Bonds Bell Rapidly. As an ticipated, there was a heavy over subscription in the British one and two-year loan. ' Large subscribers were cut down In amount. Subscrip tions of from $1000 to $100,000 were allotted in full, subscriptions ot $101,000 up to $260,000 were allotted at the rate of $0 per cent, with a minimum amount of $100,000, all sub scriptions above $260,000 were allot ted on GO per cent basis, with a min imum of $1(0,000. The Lumbermen Trust company, with subscriptions aggregating al most $500,000. took the precaution of subscribing for a much larger amount than they hadT actual need for and ..- r A . v. , in full, although the company will notes on tha day' of allotment ad vanced to $tt0t4.v for ths "one and two year notes, :.AV.- V' "" Tutrt Idea Ezplalaed. The ' real ' Idea babind the selection ot one par ticular day of " the year, and sleet ing it to ba Thrift day, la to focus the thought ot our One hundred mil lion people upon action Instituting real, literal, ' practical ways and means for conserving the many wastes in living. Tha idea of thrift is ne which all will agree is wholly worthy; and ' mora particularly, because ef the present high cost of living. This is not so creditable, being offered under compulsion of necessity, as would ba the result of calm, self-analysis, self arraignment' and self-sentence to a stricter observance of the law- of self-betterment. Nevertheless, since the price of food has gone so hi". the practicing of thrift .has become very popular with many,' r Tha one point where moat eonsld- V e ratio la needed in 'starting a thrift ' habit - is In concentrating on those things which are admittedly open for improvement, but remain - aa a -sort ot promise to ourselves and are put off in their performance, from, time to time. This is illustrated In the waste of time. This applies, ot course, to Idle, useless occasions which may or mar not be gratifying in a aense, but reault In nothing but regret for the time Involved.'. s Vortlaad Oas Report, -The rep--t of the Portland Oas A Coke Co. tor December showed a gala of IJ0X1 n grpea earnings ss compared with tie same month in lli,' while operating, expense increased I33$, or 10 percent.

PORTLAND FIREflECORD ADVOCATED BY MILLS Official Is Eminently Quali fied for Position and Any Change Regrettable. Any political manipulation of the Port of Portland commission that would result in the elimination of Al fred Tucker aa commissioner would be a most unfortunate thing, in the opin ion or a. Lc Mills, president of the First National bank. "1 personally ihink Mr. Tucker emi nently qualified for the position," said Mr. Mills todsy. "For many years he, represented Meyer Wilson A Co. and as far as I know hi entire Ufa has been spent in connection with shipping. - I' . should regard him as sn excellent man' ' to fill such an important position as a . membership in the Port of Portland -commission. 1 should much regret to see him discontinue that connection . and have hlav place filled by any one else. "Mr. George Kelly Is an active, en , ergetlc man whose business largely has been associated with the running ot , , logs in the "iicKenrle river. I can hardly believe that such, experience , eminently qualifies him for a position with the Port of Portland. Personally; ' I like Mr. Kelly and believe him ad mirably fitted for many, lines ot en deavor. Bnt to me there Is no coin- . ' parison between him and Mr. Tucker when it comes to ths work st ths Port of Portland." CXmncilman Is Arrested. Oregon City,.
