EUGENE HOST TO GROUP OP L UMBER MEN Northwest Lumber Dealers Stop off Here on Long Jaunt on Coast Cascade National Forest's Resources Praised in Talk at Noon Eugene was host today to 75 New York and New England lum ber men and their wives. Instead of taking the visitors through all the sawmills In Lane county, the Lane County I loo Hoo Lumbermen's club took advan tage of a perfect spring day and showed them through the stnte fish hatchery at Vlda, or on up to the McKlnzie bridge, and back to Eugene and through the Uni versity of Oregon campus. The visitors were "fed up" on sawmills, thoy Bald. Their day In Eugeno was pleasant because they had a chance to relax. Some' of them went to the coun try club- for a round of golf; a few snt in comfortable hotel chairs and read magazines; but at least half of the delegation went out with the s.lght-aeeing groups In automobiles. ' Second Tour This Is tbe second tour of the Pacific coast by the Northeast Retail Lumber Dealers' associa tion. Three years ago they made a similar trip by special train. For six years they have toured annually some portion of the American continent. Their re turn to the Pacific northwest this year was Inspired partly by the expansion of the Industry here, partly by a desire of the mom- bers to show their wives the scenic, beauties of Oregon, and partly by trade conditions.
