The sermons and discussions are allv Interesting, and the meet lng promlaes to be one of the best and biggest ever held in Turner. Many people from Dallas are preparing to attend the big meeting.

Fatahlinh Sales Aeency Leading lumbermen of Portland and the Willamette Valley are plan nlng to organize a joint selling agency, which will materially reduce the expense of marketing tneir pro duct and at the same time wm ennii- nntfl a lares number of middle-men. It is anticipated that a dozen or more mills will enter this agreement, there hw nlants with a combined daily mitnnt of something like 2.000,000 feet which are in favor of bo doing. The local agency will probably not be ,tohH sheil before the Fall market begins to pick up and business gets brisker In the consuming territories oi the East and Middle West.
