SAYS C S KEITH ' Revival of fhs lumber industry and consequent nsw prosperity for the North west U prsctlcslly uturtd for the Season of In the opinion of Charles 8. Ktth, president of the Central Coal St Coke Company of Kansas Cur. Keith recently, purchased tha control ling Interest of stock In the vast Koelee timber tract In Columbia, CUtsop, Tilla mook and Washington counties, and la actively planning; a development program for his timber district because of the promise of rood business. The optimistic statement of this new flrure In tha lumber industry of the Morthwest was made at a recent meet- Ins; of members of the West Coast Lum ' bermen's association. . Keith's statement , is now being discussed by all lumber operators. TARDS ARE SHORT "Retail lumber yards if the United States are short 4.500,000,000 feet of lum ber, compared with their normal stock." said Keith. "This would average a short ' see la each retail yard throughout the country of' 150,000 feet. "Replenishment of the stock of these retail lumbermen to a normal total would ' absorb about 70 per cent of tha mill hold ings In the United States. -Retail yards have not been buying for three reasons : "First They could not collect their counts; ' V-5 -'" f ' ; "i "second Tha hanks could not extena them credit: .' .-. . -1 - Third Prices have . been lamps- :. "Now. : however, conversion of the wheat crop into .money Is relieving col lection of accounts and extension ox credit conditions. I think It la a fact that now lumber Is staple. Prices are not recedlnr. I think retail yards are going to replenish .their" stocks within the next five or seven months. FCTUBB LOOKS BRIGHT ; ' ; i "We axe 1st the turn in the lumber In dustry. . , " .'. - "We rarely get an order today that is not followed within 24 hours by a wire urging.. to ship- immediately. 'This simply confirms conditions of yards as reported by salesmen of various compa nies. I think we will soon see a better volume of lumber business at better prices; and that 1922 will be a prosper ous year for the lumber industry." - Keith is considered by other lumber men to be on of the best analysts. Inso far as the lumber industry is concerned, in this country. -1; Old Time Giants to : - t Play Game for Matty New York, Sept 7. I. N.' S.)

Sept. , 7. (WASHING TON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL.) Senator McKellar of Tennessee is asking ; for an investigation of the alleged sale of appointments for rural carriers and other small postofflce appointments in that state by the Republican state ma chine. ' . He read letters showing: that a friend of the national conuxmteman, John W. Overall, wrote letters saying that he had suggested to Overall that it "would be nice for his friends for him to be in Washington looking after s fellows he had- indorsed and was going- to Indorse, and I suggest we : should chip in and nay his expenses," adding that 'it will be good "money spent, and if you feel able to kick izvsay J10, ao so. SOME "KICK iy Thereupon Dudley J. Shivers, chairman of a county committee, who received a letter like this, "kicked in," and along with the contribution asked Overall about the appointment of a rural carrier for the Cheap Hilt (Tenn.) postofflce. Overall replied with thanks and said, according to the letter read by Mc Kellar, that whenever . the .Cheap Hill appointment was referred ' to him he would appoint "any one of the eligible that you may desire." It should b explained that Tennessee has several ctagreesioaal districts rep resented : by Republicans and ' several others by Democrats. Under the new postofflce "examination rules," the Re publican congressmen make the selec tions within their districts, but la the Democratic districts the national com mitteeman is the ."referee.' That is where Overall comes In, Cheap Hill. it appears, being in a Democratic congres sional district. . . . s BKFOB3C IS ATTACKED ' .This sort of thing is made possible by the "reform" la the civil service ex amination for postofflce appointments inaugurated by Postmaster General Hays. Under Wilson the appointment of the man highest in. the examination was - required, unless some glaring rea son for rejection appeared that was not disclosed by the examination. Under the new administration the congressman or national committeeman makes a political choice, as an invariable rule, among the three hisrhest eligible. Another peculiar thing developed out of the Tennessee revelations. The lie publican national committee has been sending1 out letters appealing for con tributions to make up the deficit in the national campaign funds. Some of these letters went Into Tennessee, and one C. B. Quinn. an applicant for the Mem phis postofflce, helped in the collection. D05ATIOIC BETURSED An express messenger named Bond Harmon, who wanted to be prohibition enforcement officer, gave $10 for the party's good, but this was later returned by Quinn. HcKellar read a letter from Quinn to Harmon saying: "I am returning the $10 you gave me for the deficit I collected for the national committee and which you so kindly gave me. I cannot support you, for reasons best known to us both." The inference drawn, by McKellar was that federal offices are being made the subject of barter. In one case the na tional committeeman accepting ie for helping out on his expenses in Wash ington, and promising in the same letter to make the appointment desired, while la the other case 110 collected for the campaign "deficit" was returned, with the explanation that an office could not be delivered. - - - V - Oregon's Tungstein z All Wear Josepn: Manganese Scarce Washington.
