Judging from indieationa and from the expressions o f managing officers of local lumber companies, the activity in the foresta o f Hood River County will be more marked thia season than on any year aince 1907. when a high tide was reached here. Unless some unfur- seen disturbance shakes the market ail three of the larger Hood River county plants—that o f the Oregon Lumber Co., at Dee; The Wind R iver Lumber Co. at Cascade Locks; and the Stanley Smith Lumber Cn., at Green Point —w ill run. The capacity o f these mills and men employed are respectively as follow s: Oregon Lumber Co., 200 men and 150,000 feet, daily capaclly; Wind River Lumber Co.. 80 men and capacity of 120.000 fe e t; Stanley-Smith Lumber Co., 135 men end daily capac ity o f 80.000 feet. A half dozen smaller plants, the ca pacity o f which are as follows, are making plans to run: Winans mill, Dee, 10.000 feet, 20 men; Davenport mill. Dee, 35,000 teet, 40 m en; Hood River Forest Products Co., 40 men, 35,000 f e t ; and small community mills owned by E. V. Schiller, W. H. Hicks, the Pine Grove Box Co. and J. R. Phil lips. The mill of the Hood River Forest Products Co., which was only built last summer, was operated until the latter part of December, when the Hume of the Stanley-Smith, in which its lumber - sa transported to the O.-W. R. & N. company's line at Huthton, became frozen. 'Ibis plant will begin the run again just as soon as a thaw comes. A ll evidences point to a big run at the Dee mill o f the Oregon Lumber Co., which is driven by electricity. During the past several years the null, during the periods of low water, has been forced to shut down a portion of each day, the power being generated from the waters o f the East and Middle Forks ,o f Hood River. Men are now engaged in installing a huge steam tur bine which will enable the plant tu be operated at full capacity at all seasons The cost o f the turbine, which will generate 1,000 horsepower, will reach *30,000. The mill o f the Oregon Lumber Co. and the other two large plants o f the Valley will be started early in the spring. “ The off-shore and coastwise mills are all looking for a booming busi ness," says J. E. Robertson, manager of the Stanley-Smith Co., " t h is has a tendency to boost our business, and we are looking for satisfactory orders from the interior.” During the cutting season o f 1912, the last year o f any considerable ship ments. the daily average of lumber routed from Hood River county points on the O.-W. R. & N. reached 12 car loads. The bright outlook in the lumber in dustry has a tendency to stimulate all local business. Seventy Hve per cent of the 600 laborers who will be engaged the coming spring and summer, will come from the outside. They will be provisioned by county merchants. AT HOOD RIVER ELECTRIC TH EATRE Today John Mason as James Ralston in “ Jim the Penman.” James Ralston lives a highly respected life in h suburb of London, with his adored wife, Nina, and daughter, Agnes, whom he wor ships. Not only is he about to be elected to Parliament, but he is also noted for his extensive charities and philanthropic work. None but the man himself, and h's partner, Baron Hart- field, knows that James Ralston is one ard the same man as the notorious “ Jim the Penman,” whose nefarious proceedings are alarming the business worlds o f two continents, for his for geries h ive been altogether succesful, enriching himself and impoverishing his victims. Ralston's best friend, Louis Percival, has suffered must at his hands, Ralston's forgeries having separated Louis from his fortune and from Nina, Ralston's wife, who previ ous to their marriage had been engaged to Louis. Forged letters from Ralston had separated them, and each had be lieved the other false. Now Ralston believes himself safe from discovery, but wishes to withdraw from bis old life o f crime and begin anew. Just when he thinks he is safe, the net be gins to close about him. Capt. Red wood, a society detective, lakea up the erase, and gains an entree into Ral ston a home, finding many clues that lead him to believe Ralston is none other than "J im the Penman.” How Ralston's perfidy is discovered by his loved Nina, how the two old lovers again meet, how Ralston skillfully evsdes his would-be captors, his ter rific struggle with his old partner in crime, Baton Hartfieid, and his dra matic death in the midst of hiu daugh ter's wedding festivities, bring the tense play to a powerful climax, one of the most interne situations ever seen on the stage or screen.
