CANADIAN LUMBER
IMPORTS TOTALED
Portland, March 23 WP Lumbei
Imports from British Columbia to
the United States totaled 15,301.032
board feet in February, or 6.1 per
cent of the total annual quota per
mitted under the American-Canad
ian reciprocal trade treaty, the Pa
cific Lumber Inspection Bureau,
Inc., said.
The bureau's figures contrasted
with those presented last week by
H. E. Waterburg, district manager

mestlc commerce, who said that
Douglas fir and western hemlock
imports in January and February
totaled only 6,722,907 feet, or 2.7
per cent of the annual quota.
Pacific coast lumber Interests vig
orously opposed the treaty, which
permits 250,000,000 board feet to be
imported under a low tariff.
Water shipments of lumber In
February from the American Pa
cific coast area totaled 201,852,4(14
board feet, of which the Columbia

LOW RECORD
WHEAT PRICE
Chicago, March 23 tPt Prospevts
ol long delayed adequate moisture
in the dust bowl region tumbled
wheat prices late today to a new
season low record for September
contracts.
July wheat fell to within cent
of the crop's lotf point. Barometric
lines were said to indicate the best
outlook yet for moisture where most
needed by domestic winter wheat
crops.
Wheat cloted weak, H-l1- under
Saturday's finish, May 97-97'i, Juiy
corn to 1 cent down;
May 58'i-, oats unchanged to
off, and provisions unchanged to a
rise of 7 cents.
Chicago, March 23 (Pj Setbacks
from slight Initial gains carried
wheat values down today to below
Saturday's finish.
Increased selling developed on
price upturns, and there was no ag
gressive support from speculative
buyers. Weather formed the main
influence, with sellers basing action
on apparent likelihood that oppor
tune rain or snow would soon alle
viate unfavorable crop conditions in
(he hard winter belt.
Bears emphasized Kansas and Ne
braska forecasts of snow and rain
tonight. Downturns of wheat prices
were only fractional. A decrease 01
the amount of ocean passage for
importing countries was noted, to
gether with word that the total
wheat afloat for Europe was below
requirements.
Corn and oats eased also despite
announcement the Argentine gov
ernment had raised the minimum
price for corn 5 cents a bushel.
Provisions reflected an advance of
hog values.
GROWERS SIGN NEW
BERRY AGREEMENT
Woodburn, March 23 A large
crowd of loganberry growers attend
ed the meeting held Saturday at the
city hall for the purpose of con
sidering and signing the new mar
keting agreement. All members of
the Woodburn Fruit Growers co
operative association who were pre
sent signed the agreement and also
a number of independent growers,
Members of the cooperative who
were, not present will be contacted
and it is expected that the associa
tion will sign 100 per cent.
According to O. L. Davis, presi
dent of the association, the outlook
for the sale of fruit this season Is
very good and growers are in an op
timistic mood. Conditions for the
season's loganberry crop are nor
mal although there is some report of
damage done to the vines on wires
previous to the cold spell. The acre
age of loganberries will be about the
same as last year but the raspberry
acreage will be much less as the
lines suffered greatly from the
freeze.

PORT ORFORD
LINE GIVEN OK
Washington, Mar. 2? (IP) The in
terstate commerce commission today
authorized the Gold Coast railroad
to construct a line of track extend
ing 00 miles from the docks at Port
Orford to Leland, Ore.
The commission quoted Gilbert E.
Gable, applicant for the Gold Coast
railroad, as saying Port Orford is
the only natural deepwater harbor
along a thousand miles of coast line
between Portland, Ore., and San
Francisco.
"The town of Port Orford, recent
ly incorporated, is saici to be rapidly
growing owing to certain industries
established there within the past
year," the commission said.
The commission said the new rail
road would be operated in conjunc
tion with development of the port,
connecting it with the main line of
the Southern Pacific at Leland.
The total cost of construction was
estimated at $4,150,000 Equipment
consisting of nine locomotives, six
passenger coaches, two express and
mall coaches, four cabooses, 100 flat
cars, 100 gondola cars 50 coal and
ore cars and SO box cars, would be
bought second hand for $350,000.
The ICC said the record clearly
discloses the necessity for construc
tion of the line.
Port Orford, Ore., March 23 (IP
Construction of a railroad Irom
Port Orford to Leland, Ore., will not
be started for many months, Gil
bert E. Gable, applicant for the
Gold Coast railroad, said today
when informed that the Interstate
Commerce commission had author
ized construction of the 90-mile
line.
Preliminary' surveys of the route
have been made but it probably will,
be a year before the first track is
placed. The route would take the
railroad up the Rogue river canyon.
Before attention is given to the
railroad plans must be made to re
build the ruins of the 400-foot dock
in Port Orford. Heavy January
storms battered the new wharf Into
a mass of sticks and stones.
A lumber mill, established by the
Gable interests, is cutting 100,000
feet a day. Gable said. At present
this production is being shipped
tnrougn the Port of Bandon.

GRAIN MARKET
SHOWS DECLINE
Portland, March 23 Declines
of 3! a cents a bushel in wheat
prices, irregularity in corn, extreme
quiet in barley and some inde
pendent weakness in oata markets
characterized the Vast week in
grain movements here, the U S.
bureau of agricultural economics
said today.
Wheat prices fell off as a result
of limited demand from millers and
shippers, the bureau said. Receipts
at Puget Sound and Columbia riv
er terminals ropped to 302 cars for
the week but offerings met all
trade needs.
Despite the subsidy on flour
shipments to the Philippines, lo
cal milling, infulry was only mod
erate. Only two cars of barley arrived
at Portland during the week and
trading and movement were ex
treinely light. Lack of selling pres
sure from growers was a sustaining
market influence, said the bureau.
A feature was the offering of feed
barley from Minneapolis around 5
cent per 100 pounds under Portland
prices.
The bureau said Pacific north
west corn markets were steady with
a continued good demand for Ar
gentine offerings and little interest
in domestic com.
In oats, the northwest markets
were barely steady with local de
mand for white oats limited and
moderate offerings of gray lats
moving readily to cereal mills. A
shipment of 500 tons of oats to
Italy from the "Puget Sound area
was made with other small lots go
ing to Texas and Montana for seed
purposes.
