THE OREGONy DAILY JOURNAL PORTLAND SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER- 20, 191&. ASSET OF ORE Camps and Mills Working Dou ble Shifts to Fill Orders for Domestic and Foreign Markets CAR SHORTAGE HANDICAPS Lack of Transportation Facilities Alone Interferes With Record Breaking Production This Year Statistics recently compiled covering- 15 of the principal lumber mills of Portland and vicinity show an ag gregate employment of more than 6000 men. Many of the mills are working double shifts, and others are prevented from doing bo only by the shortage of labor. The aggre ' gate cut of these mills Js estimated .at more .than 3,000,000 per eight hour day, and this output is Insuffi cient to meet the increasing volume of orders offered the mills. Prices of lumber continue to climb to hiKher levels anl according to officials 1 the West Coast Lumbermen's hfso eifttion and Western Pine association tliere is no reason to believe that, the market will decline during the next live years. T.abor is scarce in many of the chief producing sections and while . vases advance the output per man is rot up to prewar, standards according to mill operators. CAR SHORTAGE INTERFERES Tlie moft serious handicap to the lumber industry, however, is the prevail ing shortage of freight cars. A canvass e'f the mills in the vicinity of Portland Indicates that they are receiving only from 15 to 40 pr cent of their normal requirements of cars. A large percent age of the cars being used are badly in reed, of repair and their bad condition frequently prevents heavy loading, lum bermen declare. . Officials of the United States railroad administration claim that there are sev eral thousand more cars in service than one year ago and that the situation is Improving, Strikes in car shops have Interfered seriously with repair work, they declare, and they also point to a possible saving in cars by heavier load ing. Increasing demand for the output of the mills has resulted in considerable activity in the movement of stumpage. Several large transfers have recently been reported and other important sales are rumored. Details of the sale of the largest tract of Douglas fir ever sold by the government have just been com pleted here by T. H. Sherrard. super Visor of national forests, 365,000,000 feet f timber in the national forest having reen sold to a large lumber company in this state. The'tlmber involved In this pale covers 7340 acres and it will take 20 years to cut it. The price paid is . considerably more, than a third of a million dollars and 10;-per cent of this amount will be used for the construction of permanent roads and trails through i the national forest. OREGON ISCREA8E8 CVT The forest service in its recent report f the lumber cut in the United States In 1918, computes the total cut to be about 32,000,000.000 feet, ' based on the assumed operation of 22.546 mills'. This 3918 cut is 11 per cent smaller than the computed production in 1917. The re duced output in 1918 is traceable to the unusual economic conditions everywhere prevailing, including high' cost of pro duction, -a 'minimum of construction work aside from war demands, the diminution of the -export trade, etc. Oregon and Washington are the only Important lumber sections that show an .Increase in cut in 1918, and the produc tion of this section is only 2 per cent. A smaller output, by about 20 per cent is reiorted for the yellow pine group of states, a decrease of 19 per cent in the Korth Carolina pine, group and of 9 per Cent In the lake states. The years 1907- and 1906, out of the puwt 15, show the highest estimated . total cut of lumber, approximating 46, OC0.O00 feet each of these two years. In 3916 about 40,000,000 feet was cut and In 1917 about 36,000,000. Of the two trillion eight hundred bil lion feet of standing timber now in the United States, according to the best available figures, nearly one-half is in the Pacific coast forests, somewhat over cue fourth in the southern forests, one rinth in the central forests, one ninth In the Rocky mountain region and about tone tenth in the northern forests. ' IMMENSE SUPPLY OF TIMBER Washington and Louisiana are the greatest lumber-producing states of the union, the former producing four billion and-a half board feet of lumber in 1916 afnd the latter four billion, two hundred million. Mississippi and Oregon follow with 2,700,000,000 and 2,200.000,000 feet respectively and Oregon, Texas, Arkan eas and North Carolina produced each , about 2,000,000,000 feet in 1916. It Is possible, the government says. that Its estimate of two trillion, eight hundred billion feet is too low and' that this may not represent half the actual amount. If the figures given are cor- Are you having trouble with your skin?

Very good commercial trees may be grown in 60 years so that the timber supply In this country is practically Inexhaustible with moderate care, reasonable protec tion, especially as regards fire and in sect ravage, and moderate reforestation.
