'LOCAL BUILDING
Promise of a more adequate sup
ply of lumber to the local retail
trade lends encouragement to con
tractors and builders who have an
ticipated an unprecedented season
during 1820. During the past few
months frequent complaints have
been made to O. G. Hughson, man
ager of the Builders exchange, by
contractors who alleged that the
mills' were giving precedence to or
ders from the Eart and Middle West
and neglecting the lumber needs of
Portland and vicinity.
The mill operators do not deny that
there has ben some ground tor com
plaint, but in defense of their poMtlon
claim that a higher price has been
received from wholesale shipments Into
astern territory than from retail orders
- in the local market. Aft an instance
they point' to certain grades of flooring
which sell at from S7S to $90 per 1000
retail In Portland and command prices
ranging from $90 to $120 wholesale In the
east.
With the increasing output of north
west mills. It will be possible to take
care of- the local demand without sacri
fice of prestige In eastern markets. The
mills are doing all they can to supply
the insistent calls of eastern and middle
'. western markets for lumber, according
to the weekly bulletin of the West Coast
lumbermen's association. Total rail
shipment last week were 2248 cars, or
7,440,000 feet The 128 mills contributing
' to the report have a balance of 10,476
oars, or 314.280,000 feet of unfilled rail
orders on their books.
The car situation has not changed
during the past few weeks. The rail
roads are short of equipment. During
the past four years, according to re
liable statistics, freight traffic of the
roads has Increased 45 per cent, while
the supply of engines and cars has
increased only 2 per cent. Railroad
buyers are among the most active fac
tors In the lumber trade of Western
Oregon and Western Washington, ac
cording to the bulletin.
The cut at 128 mills In the West Coast
association for the week was 86,273,705
..feet, which was only 4,296,295 feet or
4.74 per cent below normal. New busi
ness accepted, was 83,416,608, of which
;l,950,fKK) feet or 2065 cars will move
by rail, 19,219,789 feet by water and
- 2,246.819 feet Is to be dellvyl locaMy.
, Of the water shipments 10.236,034 feet
' will be exported and 8.988,755 feet will
go to domestic markets. The prospect
for export business Is particularly prom
ising, according to the bulletin.
In this connection it must be borne
in mind, however, that the present ex
port trade in lumber is far from normal.
Export shipments from Portland In 1914
totaled approximately 600,000.000 feet
and, according to Dant & Russell and
other prominent exporters, the total for
1920 will not exceed 300.000.000 feet
Report of Finding
Descamp's Head Is
. .Without Foundation
Prpspects " of j solving the Ernest
Deacamps mystery were shattered once
"more Monday afternoon for the po
lice. Motorcycle Inspector Russell
made a run to the house of Mrs. L.
F. Tompkins, lOflO Kelly street, upon
receiving a report that two boys had
discovered a head in the brush near
the Slavin road. Upon investigation
Russell found the head to be that of a
dog. The police are desirous of flnd
ing the head belonging to the dismem
bered body found scattered about the
city. Unless ' the head Is found, the
police have no way of identifying the
'parts already found. About the time
the parts were found, Ernest Deacamps,
wealthy Beaverton farmer, dropped out
of sight leading the police to believe
he had been murdered. Descamps dis
appeared February 5. The first dls
oovery of part of a human body was
February 7 In Sullivan's gulch.

U S. AND JAPAN
PAVE WAY TO AID
CHINA WITH LOHN
Bt Henry W. Kinney
Toklo, March 31. (Delayed)
(U.' P.) Thomas W. Lamont of
New York, representing a consort
ium of bankers of America, Great
Britain and France, who has ar
rived in Shanghai, feela that the
way has been paved for the Ameri
can and Japanese governments to
reach a satisfactory agreement as
to the financial aid that will be
given that country.
Lamont. in China, is on a mission re
lated to the proposed $25,000,000 emer
gency loan for that country, and will
also seek to determine whether China is
a profitable field for Investment.
Before leaving Toklo, Lamont de
clared the Japanese group of bankers
gave him a cordial reception. The Japa
nese bankers are strongly desirous of
entering the consortium if the govern
ment approves it They belieye it would
be a factor in maintaining a lasting
peace In the Orient.
Views of the Japanese bankers were
expressed by Junnosuke Inouye. governor
of the Bank of Japan, who declared that
"Japan Is determined to enter whole
heartedly Into the .Chinese consortium."
It is understood Lamont and the Japa
nese bankers arrived at a complete un
derstanding. The exchange of views be
tween the Japanese and American gov
ernments Is proceeding satisfactorily as
a result. The American ambassador and
the Japanese foreign office are under
stood to be rapidly overcoming the vari
ous difficulties.

Capacity Is Planned
Plans for the construction of a saw
mill with a capacity of over 500.000

chased at Vancouver, Wash., are being
outlined by M. J. Blagen. president of
the Grays Harbor Lumber company.

to use Vancouver lake as a tog pond,

draining the lake. Blagen also pro

and an electrical plant with a capacity
of 16,000 kilowatts.
