While there it that indefiniteneit
that attaches generally to the induatry
at the preaent time, the outlook tor
local lumber milla has not ben better
aince the winter o f 1906 and 1907.
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.

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.
