BIG ORDERS YET UNFILLED' Construction of Vessels for Coast Trade Is Expected to Make. Work Plentiful Here. j TttEr QUALITY" STORP" Ot PORTLAND St.-- Save and serve. tral. - ft and 5. ' J J fiirsi una Twil Yak ffl According to announcements of the West Coast Lumbermen's association, any curtailment of the governments wooaen gnipDunuinK m'-n . affect the fir lumber Industry of the Northwest, which produces all the big ' timber used In these vessels. Contracts already plaeed with the wooden shipyard 6f Oregon and Wash ington by the government call for de livery within the next few months of approximately 150,000,000 feet of ship timbers which must bo supplied by the fir mills These mills still have a few orders, too, for shipbuilding on the At lantic and Gulf coasts. Lumbermen are somewhat amused at the Interpretation placed on the situa tion by the authorities at Washington, D. C..., that "the use of lumber hauled ' across the continent from the Paclfid coast has been found to cause delay," as they need only to point to the gov ernment's own records to show that train load after tralnload has moved from terminals on Tuget Sound and the Columbia river to destinations on the Atlantic coast In less than two weeks, ,and In several cases Inside of 10 days. 1 'this is shorter time than similar move ments were accomplished from - the South. Arriving Too Fant In Roath There are Instances where Atlantic coast shipyards have complained to the Kmergency Fleet corporation that fir from the Pacific coast was arriving so falst It was cotiKestins the yards and on account of these complaints the Kmergency Fleet corporation had seri ously In mind the cancellation of the train lot movement and going back to the much slower delivery by single car In trains of mixed freight. Shipbuilders and lumbermen here are not much surprised nt the rfiiortM from Washington that further wood ship con struction is to be limited. They have been unofficially advised of this plan for two or three weeks. All the shipyards have constant In quiries from foreign governments and from private concerns for wooden ships. Jf the government quits building them. It la believed certain that the yards will ba permitted to take on contracts for the allied governments and private cwn- mru. More Work In Prospect The reported shortage of available engines and boilers Is not expected to Interfere with the proposed production of wooden ships for private accounts, as the practice of building vessels equipped with sail and auxiliary power may be adopted. A large number of this type of ships was built in the Ore gon and. ,' Washington yards before the government program was Inaugurated and these craft are now in successful service. Lurrtber manufacturers are ad'vlsed that the government's program contem plates utilization of the Pacific coast yard! In building vessels for coastwise. South American and Transpacific trade j and with such an arrangement, it Is probable that there will be no Interrup tion In activities of the local yards. Government orders for fir ship timber for Kastern and Southern delivery re maining on . the books of the mills, ag gregate less than 30.000,000 feet. Little new business Is expected from this source after these orders are filled. .Car supply at the west coast mills . continues to Improve. The mills last m'Atr Vi nnftd a n Brpocrato nf 1Q4 rtot-a The normal movement Is from 2200 to 2300 cars. Inasmuch as the mills are producing less than their normal volume of lumber under the eight hour day, their actual car requirements are lower and more nearly coincide with the car uppiy. , . . Car Situation Improves The balance of unshipped orders Is now. 11,815 cars, which -is the lowest in several months. If the car situation con , tlnues to grow better In the next few months, some of the congestion will be relieved. Actual rail shipments from west coast mills during the seven weeks since the ." beginning of March show the variation In the car supply for that period; For the week ending March 2, 1349 cars were shipped ; for the week ending March 9. 1233 cars; March 16, 1372 ; March 23. 1811 ; March 30, 1635 ; April 6. 1746 ; April 13. 1924. The. most pronounced Improvement be- - gen about the middle -of March when the mill operators started to complain . vigorously to the railroad administra tion. While the supply is not yet ade quate, the situation is more hopeful now r than It was a month ago. Rail Orders Condone feet, which Is 23.84 per cent below nor mal for the group of 134 mills contri buting to the report. Rail orders con tinue to come to the mills In fair vol ume. Export demand naturally Is light on account of the scarcity and high .. price" of tonnage. Domestic cargo or ders fell off somewhat last week, due to the accumulation of stocks In Cali fornia, but reports of Increased building- activity In that state indicate heavi er buying orders within the next few weeks. . Cargo movement to California and 'other domestic markets is better than ' usual, aggregating 10.573,391 feet for the " " . week. These shipments helped further - ' to relieve the cargo , mills of some of - - ineir congestion. , Local demand contSiues'hrKk, aggte gatlng 9.558,429 feet last week. E. II. Harfestv.
