Coffin for concerted efforta by
Orcfoo lumbermen tod the Orejon
state hlabwaj commission to amend
federal specifications to permit wider
uie of timber is bridjes, E. E. Martin,
Eugene lumberman and engineer, seta
forth the views of the lumber indui
try here in a letter to the Beeister
Gusrd. The letter follows:
"I read with interest the article In
Fridaj'a edition and your editorial in
Tuesday'e edition regarding the uae
ad lumber in tbe proposed Coast
highway bridges. Making a mild state
ment, portions of tbe interview given
by one of the state highway commis
sioners are open to very serious argu
ment, first the intimation thst as
these bridcee are to be built with
federal tponejrs, local interests are not
concerned with the material used
nor the costs. All reports which 1
have seen show that only 30 per cent
of this money it a direct gift while
70 per cent must bo repaid at aome
time in some manner, but if it were
all an outright gift, Oregon ia cer
talnly iniei rated in getting the largest
and most economical returns from
It. The statement was made that the
cost o'. treated wood structures would
be as !ar;e as for concrete ones; if
my memory serves me risht, the sute
highway commission's bridce engineer,"
Mr. McCnlinngh, at a meeting of the
West Sitie Pacific Highway associa
tion held In Corvallis in May of last
year made a comparison between the
cost of the then new Bogue river
concrete bridge and tbe estimated
cost of the proposed composite wood
and concrete bridge which he was
then designing for the Coast highway
at WaMpcrt and stated that the cost
of the Waldport bridge per lineal foot
would be api.roiimately 60 per cent of
the cost of the Rogue river bridge and
also that the eipected life would be
40 yeara as compared with the 30
attributed to Mr. Washbui ne. It seem
ed to me after looking at Mr. Mc
Cullough's plans at that time that he
was going to make a real contribution
to the use of wood in highway struc
tures. "While untreated and unprotected
wood may be subject to damage by
the salt air of the coast, this damage
would be slight when compared to the
damage done to steel In the same use
and with the same treatment A ateel
structure so located wonld require
constant maintenance if it were to
give any appreciable life. Tbe rail
roads are large nsers of both trested
end untreated timber and I quote from
pamphlet published on the subject
in 1932, (The Southern Pacific com
pany states, "We have been using

Regarding fire baiard, it ia true
of course, that thought must be given
to protection, but it is bard to con

Dollar is Lower
On Paris And
- London Marts
LONDON, July 6 -04 After a
quiet and steady opening the Ameri
can dollar encountered new pressure
today which continued throughout the
session and it closed at its lowest
11.52 3-4, or a net loss ot 3i cents.
There waa practically no support
for American currency and much un
certainty prevailed because of the
knowledge that a large bear position
exists.
Gold currencies were better, es
pecially the Dutch guilder.
PARIS, July 5. W Tbe Amer
ican dollar closed on the Paris market
today at 18.78 franca to the dollar
(5.32t cents to the franc), down 47
centimea from yeaterdaya close.
STORY

proached and assurance was given
that Premier Mussolini would sup
port the agreement of the four coun
tries here.
Surplus Diminishes
Morgenthau stated tbe next Amer
ican crop of wheat would be the next
to the lowest ever harvested in the
country since 1893. This condition,
he said, would lead to a diminution
ia tbe American surplus.
Australia, he added, had agreed to
limit exports and not to create any
reserve stocks. She may achieve this
by denaturing her wheat or by feed
ing it to animals. Exports are not
to be based on production, but on
exports which have taken place dur
ing the last three to five years.
Morgenthau declared it was pos
sible wheat would not become the
first primary commodity which would
reach a price to give farmers a living
income.
Committee Thanks
Workers on Picnic
W. T. McDonald, feneral chairman
of the committee in charge of the
California State ' picnic held here
Sunday, Wednesday expressed the
thanks of the committee to those
who assisted in making tbe event a
success.
"We wish especially to thank Dr.
Allie Smith who directed tbe regis
(ration, Charles Sullivan, superin
tendent of parks, and Ray W. Jones,
who acted as master of ceremonies
at the meeting," Mr. McDonald said.
"It was through the efforts of these
people and the others who worked
faithfully on details of tbe program
that the event was such a success.

the statement said It is difficult to
conceive that the American stand on
temporary stabilization can diminish
the advisability of a continuance of
discussion.
Tbe pronouncement declared It
been "our obvious duty" to take
stand "on the minor issue of tem
porary stabillsaton" which was ex
pressed previously.
Two tasks were em pb a Blued as
great Importance and desirable to
discuss in the conference rntstng
prices, and secondly, preserving the
stability of adjustment once it is
achieved.
Linked with this as a subject
consideration was "the part which
gold and silver should play after ad
justment had been secured."
The declaration stated there
nothing in our policy Inimical to in
terests of iny other country, say-
ing there was confidence no nation
would seek to embarrass the United
States in its domestic program. It
was added that the United States did
not criticize devaluation by France.

Dear Mr. Stanley:
I have been going out of way li I
iraoe with you in preference

But since I have seen this pile 1
of poisonous "rot gut" beer that yd I
nave piacea in a central ipot at
temptation to our poor bralnliH I
"educated (?)" young people to m'
tnem on a drunken career and

Now, my comment:
The writer of this letter It t titsik
and a coward. Ha hain't tha "nuts
to sign his name or express himself I
openly. I wonld not want the tun
to come Into one of our stores, fir I
I do net believe our merehtnsw

The only good point he mikes I

And when we sell beer we will

Every grocery store In town ill

Should the good Lord offer ml '

be oooped up with oharaoters of tlm
kind. I would lay: "No, thank ye
