Mr. Clurk Im enthunlantlc over the position taken by thu Shuvlln-Hlx-ou and Ilrooks-Scanlon mills, who In order to imcoiirnRe homo biiildlnR, sell lumber through n local agency, ut prices that are as low ns the lar gent buyers receive in car lots ut tho mill. Tho plan was originally put Into efoot for the benefit of their employes, so that more homes would be constructed but the pub lic outnldo of the actual employes Is taklpR advantage of the big sav ing In 'securing wholesale prices on lumber. "This splendid example of public helpfulness Is certainly to bo com munded." said Mr. Clark, "and all of Oregon's mills could Join lnn sim ilar action and thus bo the direct means of canning a greater amount of construction of actual homes. "Other communities could follow up thu idea und no doubt would be successful In getting similar action on the pari of more lumber mills."
