The posts are to be 2x4 inches and four feet long, sharpened at one end, and w ill be used for stringing barbed wire along the trenches. They are to be used on the fighting front in France, and delivery w ill have to be made from Portland within 90 days. This w ill insure them reaching Europe, barring marine accidents, by Septem ber. The order may be for all or part o f the 8,000,000 feet. A large domestic order for lumber for railroad cars has been placed with the Douglas F ir Lumber company, o f Portland. The order calls for 2,000,- 000 feet o f fir. The European governments are also in the Portland market for as much high-grade spruce as can be obtained, it was learned on good authority here. This spruce brings $30 to $100 a thou sand, and is fo r building areoplanes. The allies’ agents for trench posts have been authorized to ask for bids in Portland and British Columbia. It is presumed by local lumbermen, ship owners and agents in Portland that about 4,000,000 feet w ill be taken from Portland. The posts would be cut from Douglas fir and tied in bun dles o f 10 to 20. The cost would be around $15 to $16 a thousand feet, General Gonzales is a Carranza lead bringing to Portland, i f the order is placed here, between $50,000 and $75,- er who it active in capturing Villa. 000 for the 4,000,000 feet.
