" Reconstruction Work will tax the productive capacity of the
country for lumber and other materials for years," said Edwin II.
Parker, commissioner of priorities for the War Industries Board, in
Chicago yesterday, speaking to the National Lumber Association in
convention there. ,
He said he understood construction permits for new work m New
York soon would total $200,000,000. .
He'&aid the export trade in the lumber business was to be a "big
thingj in the future, and that a long period of prosperity was ahead
for the farmers and the whole country.
This sounds good to Oregon ears, where our great timber resources
and our agricultural possibilities are as yet only touched around j
the edges. .

Seems tough for a warrior to come
back from France and fight a woman
to get his job back. Bat lotg of them
will have to do it. Thx girls who

Is here. His absence from the conn
try, his departure npon a voyage to
the place of the conference would
be an occasion of serious concern to
the people. Decisions of moment
will have to be taken during the
coming mcnths by the legislative
and executive departments of the
government. The people would not
like, even for a few months, to be
deprived of the guidance of the chief
magistrate at a time when his un

does not seem to us that the reace
conference will cull for the attend

frequently it may be pointed out,
here and abroad, that he Is our prime
minister, he Is much more than that.
In. fact and In title he is the actual
head of the state. There will be no
member of that conference whom.
In formal communications of amity
and good will, he would address as
"great and good friend." The peo
ple of the United -States will not b

feeling that there would be some
