FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TAKES SIDES WITH THE WILLAMETTE VALLEY LUMBERMEN
FORES
I,
SERVICE
IS TAKING PART
IN LIMBER CASE
Strong Brief Filed iri Case Be
fore Interstate Commerce
Commission for Lower Rates.
GOVERNMENT IS AFFECTED
3y
Reason of Restriction Placed
on Federal Timber Holdings,
Value of Forests Is Lessened.
-. The department of agriculture, for the
i forest service, has filed with the Interstate-
commerce commission a strong
brief upholding the contentions of the
Willamette Valley Lumbermen's . asso-
' ctation In Its complaint against' the
Southern Pacific company and the
. northern lines, charging discrimination
in freight rate against lumber mills In
the- Willamette valley.
In Its brief, counsel for the Willamette
, Valley Lumbermen's association points
Out that members of the association
are shut out of important markets for
their, products by reason of the fact that
the railroads . refuse to place the Wil-
' lamette valley shippers in the coast
group for rate-making purposes, which
would give them the Portland rate.
. By reason of this fact they state that
the, mills involved are denied an oppor
tunity to market their output in Mon
tana. Wyoming, Nebraska, the Dakotas,
Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan,
and also in Manitoba and Saskatchewan.
Canada, To this territory, from Mis
V soula and Shelby, Mont., they seek the
' establishment of rates on the Portland
baslsT At present shipments take the
, local rate to Portland, plus the coast
.group rate of 40 cents beyond, giving
mills in the coast group such an advant
age as to shut out the Willamette valley
mills.
'-;- Owns Mneh Timber
The reason for this, according. to com-
plalnants, is that there are ho Joint
through rates through Portland via the
Southern Pacific and the Great North
ern; Northern Pacific and Chicago, Mil
waukee & St. Paul roads. The local
rates to Portland from Willamette val
ley mills range from 4 to 13 cents per
100 pounds.
A Primarily the forest service's interest
fn the proceeding lies in the fact that
within the national forest areas in the
' :. Willamette valley are approximately
47,500.000,000 feet. b. m., of standing
. timber, "besides many billions of feet on
'-i lands covered by the forfeited Oregon
- & California grant, partly within and
partly without national forests in the
same watershed.
' Continuing on this point, the brief
ays:
" 111 Washington west of the summit of
, the Cascades and in the Columbia river
watershed west of the same tine, all hav
trig the coast rates, the estimated stand
la 67,500,000,000 reet. The amount or
- timber 'sold by the forest service in the
former are from 1913 to 1917, inclusive,
Is 193.000.000 feet, and In the latter area,
28,000.000 feet, i Of the 193,000,000 feet,
163,000,000 .feet was in one sale.
.I; pregoa Is Held Back ,
Practically ..all of the timber in the
Willamette river watershed la tributary
to the Southern Pacific lines and sub
ject to the rates which the complainants
have attacked. The forest service has
no particular interest in the parties and
their complaint, but is extremely desir
ous of securing for the territory Involved
the same privileges with respect to rates
on lumber which are accoraed the re
maining territory west of the summit of
the Cascade mountains.
- While Oregon has more standing tim
ber than any other state in the, union.
It has never ranked better than fourth In
the order of lumber production. Washington,'-with
much less timber,' has pro
duced approximately between two and
three ' times - as much lumber. This
marked discrepancy ft lumber produc
tion is a logical result of the difference
in transportation facilities and rates of
the two states.
It is apparent .from the above state
ment of facts that the rates -which the
Willamette valley mills have been com
pelled by defendans to pay have retarded
the development not only of privately
owned timber, but also, that . belonging
to the United States.
HKk Timber Overripe -Much
of the timber within the national
forests of this valley Is mature and
over ripe, and any unjust restriction in
the way of rates on the . part of the
transportation facilities if continued will
cause great loss to that part of the government-owned
timber which is mature
and over ripe.
In these times when Immense quanti
ties of lumber are needed for a vigorous
prosecution of the war it is alt the more
necessary and rlfxht that any unjust or
discriminatory rate on lumber, as well as
other products, be removed In order that
each section may do Us utmost to fur
nish the government with such classes
and amounts of lumber and other neces
sities as may be desired in furtherance
of an early and complete victory. Large
timbers are particularly necessary. On
account of the handicap from the rates
complained of the mills of the complain
ant which are of sufficient sue xor me
manufacture of timbers of the size de
sired are prevented from furnishing ma
terial to wooden shifyaras sucn as
those at Duluth, Minn., and Superior,
Wis.
Fatsre It Discounted
It is not contended that the granting
of - complainant's petition will provide a
complete remedy for the originating ter
ritory Involved, but taken tn conjunction
with the proper readjustment of freight
rates into other territories where Wil
lamette valley is being discriminated
against and the natural decrease of
supply of timber in other sections now
serving a common market, will draw to
Oregon its fair share of the lumber in
dustry and enable the United States
and Oregon to secure an Increased in
come from its timber holdings and en
able that state to take its proper place
as the largest lumber-producing state In
the union.
VOOL DEALERS TALK
ABOUT GOVERNMEMT:
TAKING THE BUSINESS
Boston Says Trade Is "Up in the
Air" Regarding Possibility'
of Federal Control.
PORTLAND'S GREATEST INDUSTRY IS SHIPBUILDING
Is the government going to take over
control of the ' wool business? This Is
the question which' has perplexed 'tfe
local trade, says the Boston Globe, dur
ing the past 'few days, or to be exact.
since a meeting of the trade to consider
the report of a committee on ways and
means to help the government in the
matter of wool supplies, It was an
nounced that the committee on wool sup
ply of the National Council of Defense
had resigned.
Since no explanation accompanied the
announcement and- there are now gov
ernment regulations with regard to ex
porting gold and Importers, as well as
exporters, are obliged to have licenses,
not to mention the fact that the gov
ernment has not only -bought much wool
in domestic markets, but has made the
arrangements, for the big shipments to
come to this country from Australia,
not a tew aeaiers Deneve mat me aays
of private venture In wool are numbered
at least for the duration of the war.
Actually the trade, is "way up In the
air" on this matter srnd there is no way
of telling In advance whether their worst
fears wJll be fulfilled or not. The un
settlement that used to prevail in the
old days when there was a danger of a
downward revision of the wool and
woolen schedules of the tariff seems
tame compared with that which exists
at present. There is no question of the
Inclination of the wool dealers to work
with the government ; they are prepared
to a man to do all within reason to help
the government, even to the point of
doing business at a fixed margin of
profit. The great fear is that private
business in wool may be suspended, as it
was In England, for the duration of the
war.

. Exploit Casscl's Invention
A company called the Electro Agri
cultural Joint Stock company has been
founded, having as its object the ex
ploitation of HJ. Cassel's invention. Mr
Cassel has, after many years of expert-
mentlng, succeeded in solving the prob
lem of transferring electric power to
self propeleld motor plows and other
farming machinery. Experiments will
be made at one of the company's fac
tories at Alfsjo, Sweden.
Boats Could Help
in Transportation
The Importance of waterway and high
way transportation to the Northwest is
given added emphasis by an experience
of Samuel HD1.
November 26 a shipment of 1187 pounds
of vegetables and fruit was made by rail
from Mary Mil, Waah., to Seattle, and the
shipment had not yet arrived at Seattle
December 9. Mr. Hill makes no com
plaint, saying that doubtless all the rail
equipment is being used in government
service, but intimated that a regularly
established boat line down the Columbia
river to Vancouver and a good hard sur
faced road from - Vancouver to Seattle
would facilitate prompt shipment.
In famine times, the present situation
would be extremely inconvenient, says
Mr.. Hill.
Two Swedish engineers have invented
an electric machine for cleaning boilers
that works somewhat like a drill.

GROWERS
SEE GOOD CHANCE TO
MAKE CASH' SALES
Roseburg Farmer Gets Encour
aging Letter From Dealer in
San Francisco.
A prominent broccoli grower of Ros4
burg has received a communication from
one of the largest produce firms In San
Francisco, which carries in It considera
ble encouragement for those growers
who ""hope to establish a market for
broccoli for cash f. o. b- Instead of hip
ping on consignment as has been done
heretofore, says the Roseburg Review.
The letter from the California firm
states that they will gladly send a rep
resentative to Roseburg with the idea
of buying the crop on a cash f. o. b.
basis, provided the growers will make a
price that will permit them to handle
the product at a reasonable profit. The
letter further states that In ease this
firm should buy the broccoli, that they
will send their own packing crew to do
that part of the work, and thus insure
a standard pack of the different grades.
According to statements contained In
the communication, this company had
the Idea that the broccoli crop In Doug
las county was a failure for this season,
and surprise was expressed that this
season's output would approximate 60
carloads.
This letter Is the first reply that has
been received In answer to a number of
Inquiries sent out by the growers to as
certain If cash buyers could b Inter
ested In the broccoli crop of this county
for this season. Others are expected,
and upon their receipt a meeting of
growers will tit called to put all the In
formation thus obtained before the grow
ers.

of the transportation committee, giving
the government's assurance that the
railroads will be sbls next year to han- -die

The message which was addressed to 1
John Lk Nagle. manager of the California .
Fruit Exchange at Los Angeles. Is as
follows :
"Effective December 1. shippers of.
oranges and lemons win be required by

"Shippers of vegetables and deciduous
fruits are requested to advise the limit
of safety to which they may Increase
the carload above the minimum, so
proper regulations msy also be Issued at
once. It is absolutely necessary that
everything reasonably poeslble be done
to Increase the efficiency of refrigerator
cars and the railroad power handling
perishable commodities. In order that
the present refrigerator car supply may
handle perishable traffic for the year
Just beginning.
"There is little hope of the ear shops '
being able to fill railroad orders for ad
