W. Y. Stoddard, is manager of the
Murphy Lumber company with saw-
j mills at Quincy and Sloat. Previous
I to coming to Plumas county the
I Stoddards were In the lumber game
In Oregon. Merrill Stoddard himself
i owns a mill near Quincy but owing
j to unfavorable market conditions
decided not to operate the property
'this season. Asked about the lum
ber market Stoddard Bald:
"The lumber market has been
' poor this season and operators are
j making very little at present prices.
Therre Is every Indication that this
condition will improve, however, In
"18 0?ar tutm, as the sawmills
are oeing lorceil to Olspose ot ineir
lumber to meet their obligations
and when this is gone the condi
tion of over-supply will probably be
a thing of the past and prices will
pick up."
Stoddard visited the plant of the
Alturas Lumber and Box company
and pronounced It a very up to date
estblishment. Commenting on the
box factory business he said:
"While the manufacturers of
wooden boxes have been operating
on a very small margin of profit
for some time and are nt the pre
sent time, there is no reaacn l"
doubt that this phai:e of the lum
ber industry will come back along
with improved conditions generally

Don't overlook that when you bring your shoes here for repairs
you DO actually get new ones for that price and they will be both
