CANADA GETS LUM1ER
V1 CARGO FROM PORTLAND
3,500,000 Fet to be 5 Sent from
Vt Here to Quebec.
Aboard the Norwegian stcam
f;Thor, 3,500,000 feet of lumber
s-will be shipped from Portland to
Quebec, marking the first ex
portation of the product on re
cord from the Willamette or
Columbia Rivers to that part of
Eastern Canada. The Thor has
just been chartered by Sudden
Christiansen, of San Francis-
coto transport-tho cargo. Sue
4s "scheduled to arrive to begin
loading about March 14. The
steamer is of 2SS9 tons net reg
ister. The Thor is an old trader out
of Portland, having been here on
a number of occasions in recent
years. She is en route from
Newcastle. N. S. W., to San
P'rancisco having left the An-j
tipodes January 31. The craft
will go from the river to the
Atlantic Coast, via Panama
Canal, when she will head for
the St. Lawrence River, which
she will ascend to her destination.
In the announcement made
this morning of the new business
tthe rate at which the Thor was
chartered was not made public.
On account of the big freight
rates paid grain tonnage for send
ing to Europe, it is supposed the
figure is unusually high. In fact,
it is claimed that the unpr
ecedented demand for grain ton
tiage and the exorbitant rate
masked for steamers to engage in
that trade make it next to im
possible to secure suitable off
shore lumber vessels.
But there is every indication
that the lumber business out of
North Pacific ports will show
considerable activity within the
next two or three months. In
this connection it is stated that
in a few weeks but little of the
surplus grain crop which can be
spared for export will remain in
the country. Then, it is predict
ed charter rates will decrease
. sufficiently as to permit of car
riers being engaged fprhartdling
lumber.
. Two large carriers, chartered
some little time ago, will arrive
at Portland this month to load
lumber for North China. These
are the Japanese steamers Kojuj
Maru and Bankok Maru, which
are under charter to the China
Import & Export Lumber Com
pany. Each of them will take
gut about 4,000,000 feet of fir.
The Koju Maru is expected to
f arrive February 18 and the Ban
Iioku Maru five days later. A
short time afterward Mitsui &
Co. will have the Japanese
steamer Senju Maru here to load
lumber for the Far East. She
twill clear with something like 3,
DOO.pOO feet.
So with the cargo to be taken
,$o .Qubec by the Thor and by the
three steamers under charter to
load for the Orient the lumber
exports from Portland the next
lew weeks will approximate 15,
000,000 feet. That quantity will
"be handled by the quartet men
tioned and in addition some lum
ber, will go foreign from here on
other carriers, such as the
schooner H, K. Hall, which is
completing a cargo at the East
ern & Western mill for Australia.

LANE ON BLIND P)GS
A Washington dispatch shows
Sonator Lano to bo a genius as
well as a philosopher:
"Senator Ilary Lano, of Ore
gon, who made the orgtnal and
Interesting discovery that U. S.
senators nro just plain mutta
llko the rest of tho male humans,
has offered a solution for tho
blind pig problem, insofar as it
relates to gentlemen from other
states finding liquor in tho states
that have gono dry. Ills exper
ience in Alaska furnished tho
inspiration.
"For the boncflt of those
states," ho declared, "I would
suggest they adopt tho method
of tho Eskimo to protect tholr
food supplies from tho ovor-hun-
gry malamute dog, which Is to
cache It upon a platform about
20 feet above tho ground, By
doing this they would compel
enterprising and thirsty gontlo-
men from other states to seek
their solace In tho open air by
means of a ladder."
Alaska, by tho way, has fur
nished Senator Lane wlthcon
slderable argument against li
quor. ,
"In the interior of Alaska," ho
said, where tho temperature
goes down to 70 and SO below
zero they do not allow anyone
to get out upon a long trip and
take whiskey with them, tlf a
man Is met on the trail and" It Is
ascertained ho has whiskey
with him It Is taken away from
him and the bottles broken.
They do not do that out of any
kindness of feeling toward him
particularly, but for the reason
that under the Influence , of
liquor a man on tho trail will
take chances that he otherwise
would not take.

A CHEERINQ SIGN
Natlon-wklo prohibition Is bo-
coming a popular subject for do
bato In our colleges, Yalo and
Syracuse being tho latest to
mcasuro oratory In this Hold. It
has been stated that although
less than two per cent of tho
men of America go through col
logo, It Is from this two por cent
that tho nation draws 7,700 of
Its 10,000 leaders In all walks or
llfo. Hence tho awakening In

dents in tho liquor problem Is
ono of tho many cheering Indi
cations of tho better time near
at hand. John Barleycorn's grip
upon our universities Is being
loosened and henceforward wo
may look for an Increasing num-
bor of prohibition loaders among
college graduates.
A DECREASING MARKET
Tho roport of tho Internal
Revenue Commissioner for tho
year ending June 30, 1914, re
cently made public, shows a do-
crease In tho production of dis
tilled liquor of 10,000,000 gal-
Ions, and a decrease In so-called
consumption of 40,000,000. De

. Other views of the Oregon
senator, who Is a physician, arp
worth reading:
"I do not think alcohol is a
direct cause of a large propor
tion of insanity," he says. "I do
not think that large tables of

The Southern Pacific com
pany this year will pay Lane
county $76,400.31 in taxes. This
figure was checked over by C.
H. Lint, chief deputy in the tax
department of the Southern
Pacific railroad, under William
Colvig. This does not Include
taxes on the Oregon & California
grant lands, under litigation.
This land tax, amounting to
more than $90,000 last year, the
railroad states that It does not
expect to pay this year. Failure
to pay it last year left a heavy
deficiency in nearly all of the
county departments which is
having to be made this year by
additional tax levies.
Mr. Colvig who was in Eugene
Tuesday afternoon states that
he anticipates a decision in this
case in May or June. The case
has been in the hands of the
United States supreme court for
almost two years, following an
appeal by the railroad from the
action of the Oregon district
court that took the lands away
from the railroad for alleged fail
ure to comply with tho terms of
the grant. If the decision Is
favorable to tho railroad, the
county will probably be able to
collect; delinquent taxes oh the
land. If tho government wins,
tho county will lose tho amount
of the taxes assessed.
It is stated by Attornoy G. W.
Sonmer in the Spokane Chroni
cle that the state of Washington
by becoming dry, will add $300,-
000,000 to her taxable resources.
