CARRANZA fORCES NOW MAKING
SUPREME EffORT TO CAPTURE VILLA
Portland— Lumber mills have been
asked to bid on an order for 8,000,000
feet o f trench posts and pickets for
use by the allied [towers in the war
zone.
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,-

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
