Employment Reaches High
Peak of Year; Many Men
' Now bmoloved in Marvest
PORTLAND, July 29. Calls for hundreds of men to
fight orest . fires coupled with a continuance of the
movement of harvest hands to the wheat fields east of
the Castades have brought about the peak of employ
ment ;fov fji$ year in the Pacific Northwest, according
to 4Lf employment service
tlie flryitmbcr industry has taken
place, i fti pjyce ruijuniv
as many
IokkIiik varans are Iillo and sawmills
nro lnrgSfy on- a ono shift basis as
compared with ono year ago. In the
pine country, however,. suwmlllR are
operating two and throe shifts and
tlio demand for. skilled mill help
there Ib at the season's high point.
Reports from the various districts
received today at 4L headquarters
ase an follows:
rOllTLAND There-has been no
pronounced change In employment
conditions here during the past
week,. The logging industry of the
Columbia river territory, already at
CO per cent capacity, has been fur
ther hampered' by forest tiros. l)o-mnnds-for
fire fighters and harvest
hands have given employment to
practically " all available labor, and
experienced, help for special jobs Is
now hard' to' find,-
ABERDEEN Rainfall on Grays
Harbor during the past week has re
lieved the fire hazard and all but
three logging camps In this district
have resumed 'operations. Many log
gers have, been returning here dur
ing the past few days and there Is at
present a slight surplus of woods
help. ; v .
TACOMALogglng operations lit
thtp district "are for the most part
inactive although a number of smalt
camps and. two large camps are run-
. nlng. Many loggers from here have
gone to Grays Harbor or to harvest
fields. With the resumption of two
sawmills here today, nearly all the
Tacoma cutting capacity Is again In
operation, largely on a one shift
' oasis.
SEATTLE--Many workers usual
ly following logging and construc
tion work are continuing to migrate
to the harvest fields of eastern
Washington and Oregon and there Is
''but little unemployment here. Skill
ed sawmill Jobs are difficult to fill.
Farm hands and milkers are scarce.
Jobs offered locally are fewer than
two weeks ago but calls from out
'side points are' more numerous.
. SPOKANE There was a shortage
of men In Spokane to fill Jobs offer
ed last week. The demand for har
vest hands is strong and there have
been more calls tor forest fire fight
ers than in any season for years. All
sawmills In this district are running.
The Wintqn is adding a night shift
in the planer and 15 opening up its
Emerald-Creek camp. The Mullan
and Burke mines are placing orders
for men here. Railroads are using
much common labor in ftprtlnn vnnvn
and require many replacements.
Spokane employment boards are at
present well filled.

Slight . Gain

Fir Prices
Atlantic Coast Market
, . Is Freshen
ing So heavy a volume ot mixed car
orders has been received by some
ot tho fir lumber mills lu tho Port
land district since' July X that In u
tew instbiices prices ot s-incn slash
grain uppers have been advanced
slightly, says the 4L Bulletin. ,
This circumstance, whilo of minor
importance initself, still is a reflec
tion of the currents affecting today's
lumber market. Another strength
ening Influence Is tho Atlantic coast
market. On the whole, however.
the market still maintains tlje hot
weather dullness It has displayed for
tho past four weeks.'
Both mills nnd wholesalers are
daily receiving otters of orders at
prices below the market, and where
as three weeks ago the wholesalers
were accepting almost any price of
fered, expecting that the downward
trend would enable them to buy at
a slight profit, today tftese dealers
are scanning such orders very close
ly before accepting them. Buyers
admit that badly mixed cars are
more difficult to buy than three
weeks ago, both because ot the loss
of production during the early July
shutdown and through the Increased
volume ot yard stock business put up
to the mills through Eastern com
mission men: -
Atlantic coast schedules in fir are
being placed at' J1S.50 f. a. s., with
hemlock at fl less, and some cargo
mills are reported to be declining
even these- prices.
July space for New York, Boston
and Philadelphia Is being quoted at
15. but the steamship companies
have nothing to otter to shippers.
August space is quoted at $14 and
14.50. The tremendous bulk ot
general cargo offered for Eastern
shipment In July has reduced the
allotment of- space for lumber. The
mills hope the space rate will not ad
vance further, knowing that.it Is al
most impossible to secure any ad
vance In the price of lumber at the :
same time that cargo rates are boost-1
ed. Every indication points to a
very fair East coast business in both
fir and hemlock during tho balance'
of the summer and early autumn.
The influence that may break this
market,' as has happened before on
more than one occasion, is the ten
dency of some mills to push random
shipments out' through transit deal
ers, resulting in a flood of good fir
and hemlock lumber being dumped
on the New York market and allow
ed to go at any price offered.
Immediate' ihlpihent is' being .de
manded by practically every buyer
of a mixed car, the yards continuing
their policy of forcing the mills to
carry the stocks formerly carried by
the yards themselves., . . ,
The specialty trade Is reported to
be decidedly better, with the excep
tion of garage doors, In which Com
petition Is now exceptionally keen.
Taken altogether, the ontlook for
tlie second half of the year, now
Just opening, is for a fair business,
a condition which can be turned in
to better business if any amount of
export trado develops. The greatest
problem facing the fir manufactur
er is the marketing of fir timbers.
The prices now being quoted have
no relation whatever to tho use
value of the material. - '

California Will Try
i , Out New, ,
- . Statute' i ! ); j ! 1
SAN FRANCISCO, July 29. Con
siderable decrease in the number
ot forest fires la expected to result
from tho enforcement of a new
state law which became effective
yesterday, Tho law prohibits tho
throwing of lighted matches, cigars
or cigarettes from any vehicle and
prohibits the tossing of any llKhled
material into combustible matter
"The law will bo a great help in
preventing timber losses." said Dis
trict Forester IV G. Itodlnglon yes
terday. "A largo proportion of
forest nnd grass fires start from
carelessly thrown clgn'oltes, par
ticularly ot tho "tntlor made" vn
rlety. The interior department has
tor some time had a regulation
slmllnr to this new state law, but
as tho federal rtile applies only to
national forests, it has not been
wholly successful. There nro many
private timber holdings adjoining
or inside of national forests over
which the federal government has
no authority. Smokers have boon
able-to do ns they pleased In these
racts. Now some supervision cau
be exercised over all tho stato in
fire prevention measures. Every
one ot the 600 men In the forest
service Is an ex-otticlo deputy
state fire warden, and as such can
now utd In enforcing regulations
outside ot national forests as well
as inside. In signing' the measure
the governor stated he considered
it one of the most effective laws
adopted by the last legislature."
Railroad companies, realizing that
he new law may save them from
disastrous fires along their rights
of -way. nro co-operating with the
authorities in securing enforcement
of the statute.
