It is generally understood that the lumbermen of the Northwest have had a tough time for quite a number of years, but there are a few people, aside from those interested in some branch of the business, who understand fully or even partially the great slump several years ago and the prevailing unfavorable conditions at the present time. If is estimated by government, officials that in normal times about one million people are employed in the lumber industries in the United States, and that one quartet of these, or 250,000, are employed in the Northwest Oregon, Washington and, Idaho. But during several years, up, say, to the first of July, 1016, 25 per cent of these men were idle. When the los3 of wages to over 60,000 people is added to strikes,, car shortages, and the low price of lumber, it can be seen that the lumbermen have had their worries. But many think, since war orders have begun to pour into the mills and dealers, that once more the lumbermen are profiting. Is that true? Is it not a fact that lumber comparatively is today one of the cheapest commodities on the market? An advertisement of the Tum-A-Lum Lumber Co's. makes the following statements: "In 1914 a Turn A-Lum barn cost 40 hogs; in 1917 same barn costs 24 hogs. In 19M a Tum-A-Lum house cost 480 bushels of wheat; in 1917 same house cosfs 225 bushels of wheat In 1914 a Tum-A-Lum silo cost 220 bushels of corn; in 1917 same silo costs 110 bushels of corn. In 1914 a Tum-A-Lum machine shed cost 20 tons of alfalfa; in 1917 same shed costs 10 tons of alfalfa." ' Nowhere have we seen the facts as to the pres eat comparative prices of lumber so tersely stated.
