: f Ut week on ten hour operation
' iof the Pacific Northwest jiumber Jn
'dustry ' shows production to have been
approxbwatelr 20 per cent below normal,
: according to 'the weekly trade barometer
of the West Coast Lumberman' asso-
clafton. ' . "
The report shows an average produc
tion of 567.122 feet per mill, which la
'of special Interest In view of the lumber
Industry' general apprehension that the
eight hour day' Inaugurated on March 1
iwill have a- tendency to further alow
down the outout of the mills.
l.J The chief feature ef the trade barom
eter Is the Obvious handicapping effect
pt car shortage and Its Influence on the
.delivery of Eastern business. Mill gen
erally,, with the exception of those lo
cated on the Southern Pacific, report the
condition of the car shortage equal in
severity to that of the fall-of me.
herea the lumber Industry, ordinarily
at thia season, is reasonably well sup
plled with cars. Transcontinental ship
ments for the -week ending .March
totaled 149 cars, which was about 700
cars short of the normal weekly ship
ment.
'New business accepted from trans
continental territory oractlcallv offset
, transcontinental shipments. The balance
at unshipped rail trade orders at 133
association mills totaled 13,372 carloads.
Officials of Northwestern roads oper-
tlng out of Portland report the car
shortage situation aa of Increasing
severity. J. C. Roth, newly appointed
': government official in charge of car dis
tribution in' the Northwest, states that
while the shortage is avoidable for the
'j)reent, he hopes to have the situation
(well In hand in the near future.

Collector of Internal Revenue
Miller Sends Notice to Those

Murdered in Riot
: ' Herbert" Evans
Herbert Evans. petty officer, reserve,
United State navy, was a visitor at the
home of his sister. Mrs. C. W, Hayhwrst,
the pore part, of the week. Mr. Evans
enlisted November zo, 117, ana enterea
the radio training class at of W, camp
and last week passed his final examina
tion with honore and was . given the
above rating March 1.
He had been given a furlough to visit
his mother, Mrs. W. J. Evans of Mon
mouth, before- going to sea. ,
He is a graduate of Baker high school
and Is a brother of Harry J. Evans, a

lira Killed ' in Smash
Bonnlevllle, Ky- March 11. (I. N.
S.)-7-M. O'Hearn, engineer, and George
Fletcher.- brakeman. were killed when
a Louisville St Nashville freight train
struck a pushcar. Stanley Robinson,
a brakeman, . was Injured.
State, county and municipal officials
and employes have had an lnvltaton ex
tended to them by Collector pf Internal
Revenue Milton A. Miller to waive their
Income tax exemption, file their report
and pay their "bits" toward filling the
war , chest of the. government, judging
fromBa letter received and exhibited by
venous oi uiu men on ine pudiic pay'
roll- ; '' 1 . : ' ; - ' . :
i Collector Miller simply looks wise like
an owl, smiles like a friendly oracle and;
becomes aa voluble aa the Sphinx when'
questioned about the matter. Then he
point with dignity -to various rule and'
regulations of the treasury department
threatening instant.' decapitation for
any off iclal or employe' of the Internal
revenue department - who discloses any
information relative to the status of any
individual or corporation as an Income
taxpayer. ' . . " "
It may doubtless be assumed, how
ever, that the letters exhibited by their
recipient have gone forth to all 'offi
cials who would be subject to tax were
It not for the exemption of the statute.
What fruit this care for the future may
bear will remain a departmental secret,
however.
The letter receives by the official
from Collector Miller says:
"Inasmuch as a number , of state,
county and city off icals have signified
their willingness to waive their right of
exemption from payment of income tax
under the war tax act of October 3,
1917, should you desire to exercise your
privilege of so doing, I am taking the
liberty of' forwarding you herewith a
form of return, accompanying which
you will find full instructions to be fol
lowed In completing the same.
