6 THE OREGON STATESMAN, SALEM. OREGON. SUNDAY MORNING, JANUARY 22, 1928 Elimination of Dining Room is Latest Wrinkle : J lP L J-TlT-Tlte)JL-TUI- 33 032 J I I ! 1 I i TUU-HO.WS SECtSP-TtaDL-TlJtl- Eliii:;iiation of the din iik loom ;-rate in the house of today is one of the features of the , small house planning, and the house plan shown today does away with this waste space by making use of a breakfast nook of good size for the intimate family meals, using the dining room space on thf first floor for a master bedroom. . This five-room house has three bedrooms, one on the first floor and two on the upper half story. All of the bedrooms are large and provided with ample closet space. One of the fea tures of the plan is the large livfng room, which can be used for a dining room when entertain ing large parties. The living room is 15x25 feet and has three exposures, insuring complete cross ventilation during the summer nionths. The fireplace is located at the front of the house npTf to the porch, which has a small entry. The kitchen Is designed to eliminate unnecessary steps on the part of the house-wife, through compactness. This room has two exposures and as planned provides plenty of built-ins. Two sets of blueprints may be obtained for a nominal cost upon application to Spaulding Logging Co. Salem, Oregon Telephone 1830 CUIM NO BREAK FOR RATES SOON Some Mills Resuming Oper ations and Prices Said To Be Holding Own Notwithstanding that many of the best sales-managers in the Pa cific -northwest are seriously and conscientiously endeavoring to ob tain fifty cents to two dollars more for many items on the list, and, notwithstanding that busi ness Is coming through In consid erable volume at these advanced pTlces, It Is no easy matter to close new business at the meager ad vances which are asked. This may be due In part to the fact that commission buyers and wholesal ers are still strenuously endeavor ing to cover old business at old prices and there are always some who are willing to accept business at old prices knowing full well that prices have advanced, but trusting to their buying skill to persuade mills to protect them on the old basis. While a great deal of new business has developed during the past two weeks, much of this has been absorbed by big mills so that numerous other small companies have not In creased their order files mater ially. Atlantic coast business did not develop as had been expected on account of uncertainty In regard to February rates. It Is now stat ed that this matter has been defi nitely arranged bo that there Is no possibility of a break In rates during the next six weeks. This ought to result In stabilitvip. that market for the present aYeast. One of the features of the mar ket has been the rail, yard and in dustrial demand from points east of Chicago. This territory has been coming into the market in good shape and Is filling In nicely until about February 1 when busi ness west of Chicago is expected to open up In volume. For the past two weeks develop ments have been .very favorable from the manufacturing stand point, particularly on account of almost total suspension of lumber i manufacturing and logging In Oregon on account of one of the worst snow storms in years. This enforced curtailment lasted from a week to two weeks and many camps are still unable to operate. There has also been enforced cur tailment In southern parts of Washington and In the higher sec tions of the state. The log market la exceptionally strong. Some Paget j Sound log gers are threatenimg to add an other dollar to the prie, but mill men declare they can hot possibly pay even present prices. Many mills, even now, are having to shut down intermittently on ac count of scarcity of logs. One good sired Pacific mill with logging camps, is seriously considering suepending its manufacturing ac tivities and sellfng its Jogs. This company maintains it; can make nothing on the spread in the price of logs and the price obtained for the manufactured product. Many shingle mills, including some of the larger ones, have re sumed operations. This has not had a very good effect on the mar ket although prices are holding. It seems to be the opinion of au thorities that as soon as the pres ent surplus of cedar logs is cut up. which will not take long, raw cedar will be considerably higher. This may have some effect on the price of shingles. (Reprint from West Coast Lumberman January 15. 1928.)
