N. J. Lumbermen
' To Standardize
v Moulding Sizes
' Some time ago the lumbermen of
Bergen County, N. J., got together
with a view toward simplifying and
standardising' thf vfcrJoiiBi mould inn,
site and style j tt,' wax' found tSut
almost every yarn carrlcdnomutliftirf
different I4'tck with? .topsequout
dladvantiiAj.''lf a builder couldn't
get a certain jjiioujlding he had been
buying from one yard., there, he Was
not able ta.s'injsb up, nor could that
yard which, had been supplying him
pick up the moulding from a friend
ly competitor nearby. . Besides this
tho duplication of sixes and patterns
entailed a much larger investment
than was necessary and cut down tho
turnover considerably.
' With this in view a committee waa
formed with -Morton T. Brewster.
- one of the first Presidents of the
' New Jersey Lumbermen's Associa
tion; at its head to standardlie on
tM mouldings for Bergen County.
The results have been very gratify
ing, In each case the pattern being
greatly simplified and t'ne sites to be
carried cut down to., a minimum. A
large electrotype was then struck oft
and each lumber ifard, in the county
has the privilege q calling "for as
many copies of toe., new standard
moulding sheet as. Jje, wants, in order
to distribute then, among bis con
tractors and carpenters., In order
ing moulding all tho buyers are go
ing to observe as strictly as possible
the new standard, the idea being to
work entirely out of the old stock
and replace them with the new
standard. It Is believed to be a
move in the line of progress and Mr.
Hoover's idea of "Economy through
Standardization", Also just another
example of the great benefit to vari
ous businesses to be found In trade
organisations.. : -

EUGENE. Ore.. July 15. Pursuit
of national forest trespassers by air
plane was the purpose of the first
flight this morning by Lieutenant
A. R. Ijoomis from the Eugene forest
patrol base. , , '
Following his announcement yes
terday that all persons were forbid
den on tho watersheds of Fall creek
Little Fall creek, Salt creek and
Winberry creek. Nelson F. Macduff,
supervisor of tho Cascade national
forest reported the first offenders to
First Lieutenant DeGnrmo. after he
learned that Lieutenant Loomis was
making a reconnaissance trip.
Kilter Watershed
The trespassers entered the Salt
creek watershed from Kitson springs
according to reports telephoned by
forest officers., passing into the re
stricted district early in the. morn
ing. There were four horses fh tho
pack outfit, but the number of per
sons was not learned.
It is necessary to fly at a height of
6000 feet in the heavily timbered re
gion, according to Lieutenant
Loomis, but It fs quite easy tp "spot"
campers or horses on -the trail from
that height. If the trespassers can
be located' today, their 'location on
the trail will be telephoned by the
forest office here to officers nearest
the location, with Instructions to ar
rest the offenders and bring them
to Eugene Immediately. Supervisor
Macduff is of the opinion that the
intruders are purposely violating
the restriction, because of going in
to the watershed territory so early
in the morning.
Hangars Arc Up
Three hangars are np at the' avia
tion field. Lieutenant DeGarmo re
ported this morning, and arrange
ments for having a night crew on
duty at the field have been made.
Daily flights will be made from the
local base throughout the season, al
though during extreme tire hazard
weather an emergency plane will be
kept on duty at all "times. This In
cludes low humidity periods and dur
ing thunderstorms. -
Mumldtty sent to 28 per cent In
Eugene yesterday afternoon, accord.
ing to the Cascade hygrothermograph
and indications this morning were
that a new record for hot, dry wea
ther will be set up today. The In
strument started at 88 this morning
dropping to 50 percent by 8 o'clock
and 38 at noon. "
Policy of the forest service will
not be to chase trespassers on re
stricted districts by airplane, said
Mr. Macduff, but observers will be
on the lookout at all times, not only
tor campers building fires without
permits as well as trespassers. Last
year several violators were appre
hended by airplane, after being re
ported to the forest office.
Forest Fire
Fighting Is
: Taught Many
Detailed methods of preventing
and fighting forest fires was the
chief order of business at the forest
guard training camps for the sum
mer protective force which have Just
been held on various National For
ests of Oregon and Washington.
Each summer the U. S. Forest
Service expands Its organization to
meet the forest fire hazard. Men
for these protective positions are
drawn from the various forestry
schools, and from the local woods
men, stockmen, ranchers and home
steaders who live In the vicinity of
the National. Forests. Before they
go on duty for tactual protective
work, the spring training camp Is
held, whore the temporary fire force
is given practical tests on the
ground. New equipment' Is explain
ed and tried out, theoretical fires
are fought, . organization plans co
ordinated, and ideas exchanged. '

handle the widest and thickest stock
cut from California white pine.
The machine, which was oVdered
recently, will be delivered tb the

Bellingham Sees
Possibility Of
Shortage In Logs
BELLINGHAM. Wash., July 15.
The condition of the lumber market
here has very greatly Improved dur
ing the last ten days. Atlantic"' coast
buying is in good volume ana prices
are very strong. Every mill that
wants, any Atlantic coast ' business
now has IL '
The demand for yard stock for
rail shipment Is a trifle heavier than
it has been and while some items are
still weak others have shown suffic
ient strength to cause slight ad
vances in price; c uppers are scarce
as well as 4 flat flooring and both
are very firm. Dimension, boards
and ceiling are probably the weakest
Items of yard stock. There does
not appear to be much new export
business. . , ; i .
The mills hero are taking only a
very limited amount ot California
orders, due to the highly unsatis
factory prices at which they are go
ing.
The most Important of recent
production developments Is the
shutting down of practically ail tbe
large logging camps in this district.
When they first began to close there
was admittedly a large surplus of
logs, but greatly to the surprise of
everyone this excess has been cut
down materially already; in tact, the
better grades of logs are being
bought up at such a gait that it ap
pears now as though the end of
another two weeks will see them
very difficult to secure. Plenty of
the poorer logs are still available.
There has also been a marked Im
provement in the demand for hem
lock logs. On the whole, another
thirty days will see the log supply
down to such a low point that if the
mills ' resume sawing as they now
plan,1 the log shortage will act as a
positive check on the outnut of lum
ber. " ' ...

Demand for Men Increases
Despite Total Shutdown in
Many Coast Logging Camps
1 PORTLAND, Ore.,. July 15. Midsummer farming and
construction activities with unusually early starting of
wheat harvest has increased the demand for men during
the pst week according to reports fron) vaWous districts
received here. f. - , , '.
Although a number of camps have resumed logging
since the 4th of July more than 40?; will remain closed
indefinitely the reports show. .Sawmill operation while
generally active is largely on a one-shift basi$ as com
pared with many two shifts of a year ago, ahoi curtail
ment because of midsummer shutdown for repairs has
temporarily reduced output without causing any unem
ployment. Keports irom the

ll.io th'rd shift in Drooks-Scan-Ion
sawmill "H" was to bo oporated
tor tho first t!mo toduy, increasing
the number of employes In the plant
by about 70 and adding to tho
production proportionately.
Several I'jtchot . setters wero
brought in' from other points, but
the sawyers who have been in t le
B:oks-9cajon employ and wero pro
moted to this position.
The shifts now run fiom 8 a. m.

Atlantic Coast
Resumes" Buying ;
v ' . Everett Report
EVERETT. Wash.. July 16. A
string undertone ' of improvement
is evident in the market herf. The
most outstanding featuro has been
tho Atlantic -coast business. Orders
for shipment to that section aro
plentiful and prices'';, are , showing
good strength,: nnvlnR made some
gains during tho last thirty days.
Most of the mills aro well supplied
with Atlantic coast orders and buy
ing is much more difficult than It
has been at any time since the first
of the year. " ' ' 'I i,
The demand., for retail yard Items
fo shipments to the middle west Is
thought to b a little bit stronger
and a number of cases are reported
where mills have been able to se
cure better prices by guaranteeing
to make prompt shipment. It is
said that tbe trade throughout the
middle west Is in a much better
frame of mind, as ' recent rains
seem to assure good crops.
The holiday shutdown of the
mills here was not sufficient to
make any Impression on the mar
ket. However, a more serious mat-,,
ter is the approaching shortage of
logs. 1 Practically all the bigger
camps are already down and many
of them do not plan on starting up
until the first of August.. . The re
sult of this Is that the mills are
becoming a little bit anxious and
the better grades of logs are being
bought up very rapidly. Should the
logging camps remain idle, as they
now plan on during July, It: Is
bound to have a Tory markod. affect
on the supply of lumber as well as
prices.

Because of the heavy demand from

quirements there Is a slight scarcity
of men here. .
Tacoma With nearly nil largor
lagging camps down definitely In
this district, men who usually fol
low woodswork have gone to the
harvest fields east of the Cascades.
Nearly all local sawmills are In op
eration; a few plants undergoing re
pairs plan resumption before July
20th. Demand for berry pickers
and. other farm work is slightly In
excess of supply. There is no unem
ployment In this district.
Spokane A sudden spurt In the
demand for men featured last week's
employment roports from Inland Em
pire centers. With logging, lum
ber manufacturing, construction and
farm work at seasonal height and
with wheat harvest a week earlier
than usual, a shortage of labor Is
being folt in somo localities horo.
There are plenty of men to handlo
the vast amount of work to be dono
but tho difficulty Is distribution and
transportation 'of men as ntoded.
Men are going to harvest work and
It is hard to fill logging, sawmill
and railroad common labor Jobs now.
A temporary shortage of men may
be expected for some kinds of work
until the harvest is over.
