Declares CoL Greeley;
Xites low Cost
Don't eell the lumber indus-
try short any more than yon
would sell the United States
short, because the lumber Indus
try will haYe as large a place in
this country as In the past. The
lumber business ot the northwest
-will tome back when the busi
ness ot the country comes back
and : it will mean as much In
wages and In returns on capital
as it once did."
These were words of encour
agement sounded by Col. W. B.
Greeley of Tacoma, - aecretary
roanager of the West Coast Lum
bermen's association, In an ad-
dress Monday before the Salem
chamber of commerce. In clos
ing he advised persons contem
plating building of any kind to
do It now.
Mot xnany here will lire long
-enough to see again as low a cost
la building as prevails today. T"
day ts the proper time to build.
I doubt if we will see a repeti
tion of these low costs of labor
and materials for a long time to
come."
4' lie cited actual figures on ma
terial costs for homes in cities of
this state and Washington. The
lumber and shingles for a G-room
house in Seattle, present cost
tZli in Tacoma. lumber and
shingles for typical 5 -room house.
$278; In Willamette ralley aver-
age cost of lumber items going

sand; lumber coat lor b-6-7 room
house from $330 to $550. Gree
ley referred to the statistics ad
vertised by the Salem building
congress showing reduction in
building costs of 27 to 31 over
12. He added that they would
prove about that much under
probable costs In 1921.
CoL Greeley gave important in
formation as to the Importance
of the logging and lumber busi
ness in Oregon and Washington.
There are. 730 mills in the west
ern portions of these fctates, em
ploying when operating at normal
capacity from 90,000 to 100,000
skilled workers with a payroll of
1400.004 per day which is 65
of the total industrial payroll of
this area.
Income tax reports show that
for several years the lumber mills
here hare bad very low net re
turns on capital. They rank near
ly the highest in percentage of
dollar volume of business paid
out tor labor. The tobacco dol
lar has 14c for wages while the
lumber dollar has 4 Sc. . Of the
dollar added to raw material
through manufacture the labor
proportion is 30c for the average,
Hd for the lumber Industry 36c
and tor the northwest lumber in
dustry 65c. There is only one
Industry with a higher proportion
going to labor: railroad car re
pair shops.

If you like a good story in a
picture the sort of story "where
the audience is in -on the joke and
gets fun waiting for the hero and
heroine to get surprised, if that
be what you like you will be
pleased with "Devotion," In which
Ann Harding, Leslie Howard and
Robert Williams together with a
clever support all shine very
brightly at the Capitol today for
the last time.
If you like a very sweet love
story free from too much "emot
ing" then you will also like the
story; and if you like very smooth
acting, clever and polished, If you
like sophistication with good act
ing then you too. will be very
mnch pleased with "Devotion."
Ann Harding is quite splendid
in the dual role of house-keelJer
and cultured English girl. In fact
she makes such a charming house
keeper that one almost likes her
best in that role. Her voice and
lovely appearance are both very
pleasing.
The parts of Leslie Howard and
Robert Williams are carried out
with unusual Individuality. Each
man gives something of genuine
distinction and personality to the
part Interpreted by him. The ar
tist has not flowing hair and tie,
but there Is an attitude about him
which sets him apart from the
business man he looks.
You will not want o miss this
picture. If you are one of those
who stay home until a picture
comes along that pleases you then
come out for there are two of
them to see. "Susan Lenox" is
Just as good as "Devotion," only
in a much different manner.
"Susan Lenox" is made to live
and breath by Greta Garbo in a
fashion which it would seem any
other actress of the time would '
have breat difficulty in achieving.
Her accent, that of a Swedish
farm girl, stays with her as she
goes out into the world and be
comes at last owner of a large ca
sino of doubtful character.
Her life is dramatic and her
acting never lets one forget the :
tragedy which lurks. Very poor,
mistreated as a ohlld, she meets,
loves and is loved by a young en
gineer; separation comes and she
is left to shift for herself. She
Is true to her love for the one
man of her life but her mode of
making her living makes her fi
delity to him seem impossible. She
later meet him and he hates her
for what her life apparently Is.
The eventual result of the play
is most satisfying, for after a ser
ies of rapidly moving dramatic
events, the finale as some one ex
pressed it "levels off" and leaves
satisfaction and Inspiration for
the audience.
Garbo in my estimation has
never yet surpassed "Anna Chris
tie," but she comes very close in
"Susan Lenox. The plot Itself Is
dramatically Interesting, and the
splendid acting of all characters
led by that of Garbo makes of the
play a very fine piece of work.
The work of Clark Gable is In
dividual and different. If he con
tinues he will have some fine
things for the picture public to
remember. '

Mrs. Foster was for years a
member of the Salem Relief corps.
She had lived here 50 years, the
last 35 years of which she spent
at the home where she died.
Mrs. Foster was for many years
in succession exhibitor at the Ore
gon state fair, her handiwork and
domestic science exhibits winning
wide recognition. She had medals
from the St. Louis World's fair,
from Rochester, N. Y., from the
Lewis and Clark exposition, and
from the San Francises Exposi
tion. At the latter exposition, she
had on display 1000 Jars ot can

Although totally blind In the
later years of her Hfe, she con

things which had been so active a
Joy for her.
' Mrs. Foster was born In Mer
cer county. 111., Dec. 1, 1849, and
came to Salem in 1882 from the
east. Her husband, S. R. Foster,

into 130 percent of Swedish kron
en and pay her workingmen in
the kronen. I haven't statistics
yet as to Canadian imports of
lumber but the effect will be the
same with Canada's currency at a
20 percent discount. The thing to
do would be to raise tariffs, but
the attitude at Washington is not
to raise tariffs In order to hold
our, own export trade.
"The Russian threat has not
developed as was feared. In 1929
they shipped to us 79 million feet
of lumber, in 1930 40 million, and
so far in 1931 26 million. I do not
know whether the decline is due
to failure of production or desire
not to stir up this country to slap
ping on an embargo.
"There is still division of opin
ion among our northwestern man
agers about a tariff on lumber
imports. At the recent hearings
before the tariff commission a
prominent Washington lumber

EVENT SUCCESSFUL
The first of the Christmas ves

noon at the Jason Lee church, met
with good success. Vesper ser
vices will be held the next two

church; choir numbers; violin
solo by A. Melorldoff. who has
opened a ' studio in Salem after
spending the summer in Chicago,
brief talks on carols by Prof. Her
man Clark, director ot the choir;
and a short talk on "How Far
is it 'til Christmas?" by the pas
tor. Rev. Hugh B. Fouke, Jr.
"It Is not a question ot how
many days 'til Christmas, but of
how far from my life, from your
life, from the church of Bethle
hem it Is", Fouke declared in de
veloping his theme. "Figures and
calenders do not suffice; we may
be closer to Christmas here than
if we were in Bethlehem.
"There are people who are try
ing to get all that they can at
Christmas time; greed, selfishness
must give way. There are people
wno would not nave Christmas at
all if they had their way.
"Put the measuring stick be
side your Santa, your tree, your
Christmas tinsel and see for Your
self. Measure In terms of heart
values, not In distances," he said.

Mrs. W. R. Dallas and Mrs., a
W. Stacy of liberty Woman's

present information concerning
the- prune booklets which the lat

the women present to include
prunes in seme form In Christmas
packages this year.
Mrs. C. P. Netbert and Mrs. W.
W. Elder of St ay ton were present
to report on the Oregon products
dinner given In Stayton last week
and served to Its people. These
guests were also seeking informa

was announced at the Monday
meeting, and prizes were award

read from the state president,
Mrs. J. George Keller.
Chester A. Page, superinten

spoke to the association concern
ing the work of the Salem mllL
Mr. Page told his listeners that
the Salem mill could completely
outfit all the people of Salem In
nine months, and that this would
take 130 miles of woolen cloth ft 4
inches wide.
Mr. Page told his listeners that
178,000 was paid the farmers of
the vicinity of Salem for wool
last year. Another pertinent fact
told the women was that despite
the lower prices and "depression"
the mill was running almost $1,
000 ahead ot last year, and that
although three mills ot the coast
are now closed if the Paciflo coast
people would remain loyal to

Gain From Setting
The Culbertsons were set seven
times during the session and
their opponents nine times, but
the gain from failure to fulfill
contracts was with Lens and Ja
coby. Mrs. Culbertson was set
twice in trying little slams, once
being doubled and going down
two.
A long conference behind lock
ed doors delayed start of play.
No formal protest was lodged
and no announcement was made,
but Culbertson made the claim
that his rivals were using his
system Instead of the method
specified in arrangements for the
match. Especially was this so,
he urged, with regard to original
bids of one on a suit by Lens and
Jacoby, whereas the official sys
tem prerers no trump bids on
balanced hands. What the out

within the last 10 days and hauled
the wedding party more than St

Not only that but for the first
ceremony he was aroused from,

marriage he received his fee.
The next morning the preacher
noted that the license had been
issued In another county, making
the marriage null. He hunted up
the honeymooners that evening,
drove into the proper county, so
he thought, and performed the
ceremony again in the parked car
on the road side.
But the next day Mr. Thomas,
after consulting a map, discovered
the road was not in the right
county.
So the pastor found the pair
again, took them well into Union
county where the license was la
sued and performed the third
marriage.
He said there was no extra
