BOOTH-KELLY 5-DAY WEEK Curtailment Of Production To Alleviate Over-Supply Declared Cause Present Over-Production Is Said To Be Harmful To Lumber Interests Starting Saturday, the Booth-Kelly mills will go on a five-day week aa a means to curtail production and alleviate the present over-supply 'in the market, according to announce-, mcnt today of A. C. Dixon, manager Of the company. - g The present over-production la harmful and for the best iuiorcsts of the business as n whole it is neces sary to take this step temporarily at least, Mr. Dixon stntes. "Wo nre finding the lumber market, In an unsatisfactory condition," Mr. Dixon said, "largely, we think, as a result of the fact that our eastern rail markets nre hot-' taking as much luiubcr .es they 'would if it were not for the extremely bad weathor condi tlons; and because, weather conditions in tne west are bo mat mere is an unusual amount of lumber being made for this time of tle.ycar, and gener ally speaking there is more lumber tnado than can be sold at or above the'eost o( production. "This seems to bo the observation of a good many other operators, as well as our own, and so far as we are concerned, we will not continue to make more lumber than we can sell 4t a profit, and since we can do nothing to stimulate the market under the present conditions, we arc going to lessen the supply produced by going on a five-day-a-week basts at our mills, beginning on Saturday of this week. "We hope, since a number of other mills are doing the same thing, that the reduction in supply, If made by a sufficient number of mills will bal ance the market until the usual spring i demand is in evidence and until weather conditions are so all over the country that lumber can be used as well as produced. "Wo believe all the operators in j the northwest should do the same as a number are now doing; that is, balance up the supply with the de mand and follow this policy always and as soon as a lessening in demand Is noticed, go to the extent of run ning five, four or three days a week or closing down altogether if neces sary. "Over-production is hsrinful to the operators and eventually to the' em ployes, and creates an unfavorable condition which is of no benefit to the consumer," Mr. Dixon said. Dates for Annual County Fair Pend Kxpectotioni are that word will be received today or tomorrow as to the dates f-T the annual I,ane county fair, according to announcement today of W. R.
