Japanese Disaster Will Buck

"Undoubtedly the Japanese dis
aster trill serve to stininlate ihe
lumber industry and building, not
onir on the Pacific coast, but
through the entire 'United States,?
Walter Sbattldlng,-of the Charles
K. Spauldlng Logging company.
' said yesterday. ui.
"It Is my opinion: that before
lumber, can be purchased in; large
quantities Japan must first setUe
the question of finances," he con
tinned. "Japan must do this front
the butside, in U probability this
country. This, I believe, will
take about three months. :
As much as I regret the great
disaster visited upon Japan, it is
an. undeniable .fact .that .it will
serve to stimulate all building ac-
xmuea and it U probable that
prices -will be higher.-
f Mr. Spaulding said that orders
for lumber would be light at first,
gradually Increasing In demand
nntllthe.' Pacific coast would see
the greatest trade with Japan that
Jt naa erer nad. -. Japan must hare
lumber with which to rebuild its
devastated areas arid' cities and
the coast is the logical polnf from
wb.ch to purchase its needs.
, wnilc in Portland daring the
week Mr. Spaulding met and talk
ed with a great many sales mana
gers and Others Interested in the
lumber Industry. It was his find
ings that stocks In general, have
been permitted to reach a low
point and that the sales managers
are seeking to tie up air ready
lumber with options In order to
be able to meet the big demand
that is bound to come.

A majority of those who have

This Is particularly tthe ease as to

it Is known that Mr. Southard
bought this tar a few years ago
when It was considered to ha i

" All the flair raised In the coun

aggregate of 8 ' tons at One frtn.
The Southard flax was of unusual

Product Wanted So Widely
J nat institution Is Be
hind On Orders
, Demand for penitentiary nana
faetared flax tow la so great that
the institution is ; behind In , Its
rush orders at present, , Warden
Johnson Smith declared yesterday.
Some delay is being caused by the
shortage of labor: and the installa
tion , oi .xne water power ,eauip-
ment. One canoad of , tow has
been shipped this year, being sent
to Tacoma Just a week ago. Oth
ers will follow as fast as possible
There la a strong local. demand
for tow coming from furniture
dealers. Warden Smith said. While
this demand is not for large or
ders, the two In from two to five
bale - orders Is 'constantly "bein
sought.
-. Warden .Smith laughed at the
suggestion that with so much .flax
at the prison he might "have some
difficulty in disposing of his prod
uct and making a financial success
df his enterprise. ' v - 1
Figures quoted Iri refutation by
Warden Smith showed that 95 per
cent of the flat used In this coun
try is Imported, and in addition to
he price, ' has an import duty of
between 25 and SO per cent. Spin
ning tow from the "penitentiary
plant brings 9 'cents a pound over
that from Canada, the 'nearest
competitor in the market. ' Mat
tress tow, for 'which there Is al
ways a heavy demand, commands
$20 a ton ''more than Canadian
tow while the - remainder will
bring round 8 or 9 cents more a
pound than' that from across the
border. ' "-

GAS, COAL and WOOD RANGE

coal and wood range is indispensible.
iln the VVedgewood pictured the two are cdmbined in compact form,
requiring no more floor space than the ordinary range, no shifting of
parts or adjustments are necessary, as the otens and cooking tops are
independent of each other. The lustrous pordelain enamel surface and
gleaming nickle trimmings are the finishing touches to Wedgewood quality.
