An Editorial from the Oregonian
of September 6, 1917
IS LUMBER REALLY DEAR?
It is generally understood that tbe lumbermen of the
Northwest have had a tough time for quite a number of
yeara, but there are few people, aside from those in-
terested in some branch of tbe business, who understand
fully, or even partially, the great slump several years
ago and the prevailing unfavorable conditions at present.
It is estimated by government officials that in normal
times about 1,000,000 people are employed in tbe lumber
industries in tbe United States, and one quarter of these,
or 250,000, are employed in tbe Northwest—Oregon,
Washington and Idaho. But during several years, up,
say, to the first of July, 1916, 25 per cent of these men
were idle.
With the loss of wages to over 60,000 people sod tbs
low price of lumber, it can be seen that tbe lumbermen
have bad tbeir worries. But many think that once more
tbe lumbermen are profiting. Is that true? Is it not a
fact that lumber comparatively is today ons of ths cheap
est commodities on the msrket?
An advertisement of the Tum-A-Lum Lumber Co.
makes the tollowing statements: Io 1914 a Tum-A Lum
barn cost 40 hogs; in 1917 same barn cost 24 hogs. In
1914 a Tum-A-Lum bouse cost 480 bushels of wheat; io
1917 same house cost 225 bushels of wheat. In 1914 a
Tum-A-Lnm silo cost 220 bushels of corn; io 1917 same
silo costs 110 bushels of coro. Io 1914 a Tum-A Lum
machine shed cost 30 tons of alfalfa; in 1917 same steed
costs 10 tons of alfaifa.
Nowhere beve we seeo the facts ss to the present com
parative prices of lumber so tersely stated.
Come to the Methodist services next
Sunday night and join in a patriotic
meeting. There will he an address
discussing tbe great world war.

Miss Opal Bryant, eldest daughter

passed a perfect examination. At the

then we are up against an "economic"

have seen enough of tbe "sage brush

other half be expended on sagebrush-

reached by the permanent road fund.
