Home bunding In the United
fttta will continue it about Its
present high level despite the dis
turbing uncertainties of European
war It was asserted today by H. A.
Thlerolf, local lumber dealer who
la a regional committeeman of the
Western Retail Lumbermen's Associ
ation. Mr. Thlerolf said that an esti
mated 488,000 family units of dwell
ing space will be built In the United
States In 1039. The estimate was
developed In a survey by the West
Coast Lumbermen's Association, a
manufacturers' organization. In co
operation with the Western organ
ization of lumber retailers.
"The 1939 figures", he said, "are
projected on the records for the
first seven months of the year. They
represent a substantial Increase In
home building this year. In 1938
an estimated 373,000 family units
were constructed, while In 1937 and
1936 the number of new family
units constructed were respectively
37,000 and 300,000."
f The lumbermen emphasized the
' point that, while an exact break
down was not available, a wide cross
section of opinion had msde it cer
tain that the great bulk of the new
residential building In the past four
years was of the single family type
of privet home In the low cost
brackets.
Pointing out that undoubtedly
some families have been frightened
out of the notion of home building
as a result of the uncertainties of
war, Mr. Thlerolf declared that It
waa equally true that stimulated
business and ths prospect of steadier
employment in war-affected Indus
tries waa at the same time bringing
new home building prospects Into
the market.
"I have Just learned from the
Managing Director of our Western
association, W. c. Bell of Seattle."
Mr.. Thlerolf said, "that reports from
ths five states covered by our or
ganization show that Just as many
brand new home building prospects
are coming Into the market as are
being frightened out by the war.
I dont believe home building will
faU off.
"Certainly the time to build Is
better right now than It may be
later. If we may Judge from the last
wax. FHA oontlnues to be a power
ful Influence In providing easy home
financing terms for the builder.
Building materials are low In price.
There has been a little upward
flurry In the past three weeks, since
the European fighting began, but
this Is believed to be temporary.
"However" the lumberman warned,
"If the war drags out Into a long
fight higher prices for many com
modities can be expected. In the
World War period this general ad
vanoa In prices did not begin until
18 months after the war began.
There will probably be a lag this
time, also, but It may be a shorter
lag, and that Is added reason why
the time to build a home Is still
propitious."

Creek deer ranch, stopped here brief
ly Saturday with five beautiful buck
deer which he was returning by
truck from the Oregon wild life ex
hibit at the Golden Gate exposition.
Mr. Strong has 17fi deer on his
ten-acre ranch and furnished 23 of
the animals which grace the fair
exhibit. He explained that because
of a preponderance of bucks in the
exhibit he had taken six fauns and
two does to the fair and was return
ing five bucks to the ranch.
In the cargo, which attracted a
crowd of admirers here, were two
yearling bucks with three-point
horns, and a pair of two-year oldB
with six points, horn development
which deer hunters declared very
unusual.

much better development and beauty
than in the wild state. Most of his
deer are sold to people of wealth
