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-

Tig' by Charles of
Austria, Says Book
Berlin, Sept. 20. Intfmate glimpses

that of his crown," the writer continues.
"He and our other allies were weak
lings and we were too soft with them.
They dragged us into rutn."

Government Proposes
Increased Production
For want of training the output of
practically 7,000,000 of the 10.000,000
workers in manufacturing in this coun
try is said to be equal to an average
production of less than 50 per cent of
what it can be made by proper training.
In view of this and of the imperative
need for greater production the depart
ment of labor is contemplating a United
States training service that will furnish
manufacturers with training courses en
abling them to show their employes
how to get increased production. By
these methods, it is said, we may be
able to get out double the present pro
duction. Conservation of Eastern Forests

their forests, the forest commissions of
Massachusetts, Maine. New Hampshire

ments to cooperate in locating forest

have lookout stations near their boun
dary lines from which .considerable sec
tions of adjoining states may be seen
and under the new arrangement .observ
ers will report fires us soon as they are
discovered, no matter in what state they
may be. Reforestation will be encour
afred by fire protection. In New Eng

suitable for anything but growing tim
ber and the state officials have decided
to plant them with trees without furthtr
uek;y.
