tho prospect of tho wool gsowor of
Orogon nomowhat brighter. An
nmount etiinl to ronohulf tho entire
wool crop of Idaho, tho greatest wool
producing statu In tho union, will not
bo dumped on thn market now with
consequent demoralization of price.
Senator Stanflold nnd Honator
Gooding, of Idaho, had a conference
with tho secretary of war which re
sulted In tho Indefinite postponement
of tho public salo ot 10,000,000
pounds of government owned wool
acbodulod to take place March 10.
Thn morn announcement of this
po4tpnnomunt does not convey to tlio
general public tho Importance of tho
action. In thn first place, tho public
salo ot this largo amount of govern-'
ment 'wool nt this time, when tho
clip for 1020 Is still owned by tho
producer, and tho 1921 clip Is Just
being mado, would result In a ery
low prlco holng offered for tho gov
ernment wool, and It sold would bo
at a largo financial sacrifice to tho
govornmont. In tho second place, tho
salo of this wool, or oven ot Its of
fer of salo, would domorallzo

ready distressed wool growers.

EQUALIZATION
WITH BEND IN
LUMBER HATES
Freight readjustment on lumbor,
announced In tho Horald last Satur
day and confirmed yesterday, 1
greeted by local shippers as a big
step In tho right direction, although
tho rates must go lower stilt to on
ablo western mills to competo on
confined to common lumbor. Tho Cal
In mlddlo western territory.
Rate took a big Jump last year,
when all commodity prices were fall
ing, and tho present rato redactions
do not bring them back to last year's
basis.
For instance, C. A. Albertson, sales
manager of tho Pelican Day Lumber
company, today pointed out that the
rato to Chicago boforo the raise lest
year was 65 cont. It wont to 8V4
cents, and Is now reduced to 73 cents,
night cents above last year's rate,
whllo lumber prices now are far be
low last year's prices.
Two features in the new rates aro
Immediately beneficial. For the first
tlmo In history Klamath Falls Is
grouped with California points and
no longer pays the cent and a halt
differential over Woed.
Tho now grouping alto reduces tho
dlfforcnco betweon Klamath Falls
and Dond. Heretofore Dend has had
an eastorn rate ton conts lower than
Klamath Falls. Tho now adjustment
will cut tho difference to three cents.
Dend competition with local milts Is
confined to common lumber, he Cal
ifornia mills compete In finished
stock.
Until bettor handling system la dp
vlsod for sea shipments, Mr. Albert
son said tho mixed rail and. water
rate ot 73 cents to New York wonld
not bo an advantage, as present load
ing on shipboard rosulta In much
wastage and loss. Carriers' are now
working on plans for better loading
methods.
While all lumber products will
likely bo given the advantage of re
duced rates, tho oxact reduction on
box shook will not bo definitely
known until tho new tariff lists ar
rive. Box makers, howover, w Hi ben
efit proportionately. It la bellovod.
