EASTERN MARKET SOUGHT
Wealthy 7armlag Slslrlcta of Klddls
Western States Wfil Be Invaded
By Salesmen.
White pine lumber manufacturers
of the Inland Empire district had their
Inning In Portland today. The mem
bers decided on an extensive campaign
of advertising which Is destined to
place the western white pine lumber
on every farm In the trade territories
served 'by the western association.
The semi-annual meeting was devot
ed to consideration of the advertising
features of the business. The mem
bers listened to Instructive papers
which aimed at one end. namely, the
fullest publicity.
Will Beaea Tanners
In the United States there are 17,
000,000 dwellings which will, in course
of time, need replacement or repair
ing; there are barns to be built over
or constructed new. There are sheds
and kilos and What not. The farmers
of the country are today. It was Mint
ed out, in a better position than ever
before to Improve their places with
th best In the building 11ns; the farm
ers. It wa argued, are great readers;
they follow the newspapers and tbe
magazines and no Improvement, no In
vention, which affects their Interests
is being overlooked.
The pine men are awakened to the
fact that the educational advantage
gained by the free rural delivery sys
tem Is "wising up" the tiller of the
soil. Members of the association,
however, find themselves facing com
petition with substitutes for lumber;
the roof material and the wall mate
rial a-ubstitutes; the brlclc and the ce
ment building materials are malting
constant inroads upon the business of
the lumber manufacturers.
The association has decided that
this competition must be met by a
thorough and systematic course of
advertising. The housewife on the
farm who has learned In the modern
days of affluence to scorn the old
fashioned "lean-to will be reminded
by this campaign, it is proposed, that
no building material In the world can
exceed western white pine. This pub
licity campaign Is designed to im
press on the farmers the claim that
western white pine Is easily worked:
that 'it takes readily to paint and
that it possesses other admirable
qualities.
Members to Bs Assessed
The - advertising campaign will be
followed up consistently for a period
of three years. The members of the
association will pledge themselves to
bear an assessment of 6 cents a thou
sand feet on the cut of white pine In
order to defray the cost which is es
timated at about 136,000. Before
the
new publicity program Is put Into ef
fect, however, the Inland Kmplre man
ufacturers will refer tbelr action of
today to the Montana mill owners, no
representative of whom was present
at the meetlnsr today.

Many gardens In this city

by frosts; which the old settlers
say are unprecedented in this
region at this time of the year.
The frost seemed to pass in If
waves as one garden would be
killed, and another within five
feet of It would be untouched.
Cucumbers have suffered to
some extent, but the greatest
damage seems to have been to
the bean crops, many acres of

months after the company entered into
a wage contract with Its trainmen.
An Injunction was asked against
Bourland to prevent him from prose
cutlng Mills for not obeying the lcrr,
Among other things the company

Portland Soldier Is
Drowned at Stevens
Walter B. Scott, aa. Goes Sown la Surf
While Tide Xs Oolng Out and Wind
la Blowing Besoners Overcome.
Fort Stevens, Or., Aug. 1. While
bathing In the surf near camp this
afternoon, Walter B. Scott, member
3f Eighth company, , Oregon coast ar
tillery, Portland, was drowned. Ser
geant W. L. Miller, one of four men
i who went to the rescue of Scott,
overcome and revived with difficulty,
and tbe others were nearly exhausted
by their efforts. A number of sol
diers were in bathing at the came
time, but were separated, so that It
was difficult to give Scott aid in time
to save him.
The Fort Stevens lifesaving crew Is
trying to locate the body. The tide
was going out and wind was blowing
at the time of the fatality, for which
these conditions are held responsible.
Walter B. Scott was in his twenty
second year and was born In Portland.
He enlisted in Eighth company, coast
artillery corps, March 17, 1917, and
was discharged July 20, on account of
dependents upon him. He soon re en

Venice, Cal., Aug. 1. Baggy bathing
suits extending almost to the knees
and hiding the chest must replace
' the present "immodest, skin-tight fit
ting fashions of the bathing girls of
Venice,", according to Mayor J. J.
Lewis, who announced he will order
the city attorney to prepare a drastic
bathing suit law.
Mayor Lewis says: " "The way some
women act on the beach is disgrace
ful." Bebee Underwood, one of Venice's
best girl swimmers, recommends cen
sorship of men's bathing suits, but
declares the women's suits this year
are modest.
"I wear a tight bathing suit' she
said, "and I'd like for anybody to
shov me how to swim in any other
kind. It's all wrong."

G. B. Hegardt, engineer of the com
mission of public docks of Portland,
has written to Senator Chaniberlain to
ask If It will be possible to secure
steel for elevator construction at Port
land on the same terms at which steel
Is furnished to the government.
It appears from his statements that
steel offered by a Seattle concern at
$100 a ton Is probably tbe only avail
able supply unless some Other source
can be found. Senator Chamberlain
Is making inquiries to ascertain if
anything can be done on the line sug
gested. '..
The price the government will pay

other war use, outside of the navy. Is
not yet decided. The president recent

and until this can .he worked out, no
one can say what the government will

Some time ago General Ooethals
started signing contracts for ship con
struction at a tentative price of $95 a
ton for steel, William Denman. then
chairman of the shipping board, cut
this down to $55 before he approved
the contracts, and this was one of the
first developments in the controversy
which led the president to oust both
f them from shipping affairs.
Unofficial figures on. the cost of
steel a few weeks ago gave $45 as the
cost price at that time. This is con
siderably higher than six months or a
year ago, due to increase In labor and
the price of coal and coke.
Insurance to Be Placed Locally
Washington, Aug. 1. Insurance for
ships under construction by the gov
ernment will be placed in the state
where the ships are built, but under
arrangements with the home Insurance
offices. The effect of this will be to
avoid the cost of brokerage, but to
subject such Insurance to state license
fees.
This is tbe substance of an answer
returned to Senator McNary from the
shipping board, following an Inquiry
from eHarvey Wells, the Oregon insur
ance commissioner. JUr, Wells had ex
pressed concern over the reported
placing of such contracts with the
home offices. ,'

Washington, .Aug. 1. Disposal of
the hulk of the United States steam
ship Concord, turned over some time

Edward E. Oray of Astoria. Mr. Gray
estimated that $200,000 or $300,000
might be realized from the sale.
Surgeon General Rupert Blue, In a
letter to the Oregon senator, says he
doubts that any such sum could be
secured from sale of the Concord, but
