PORTLAND. Aug. 12. The sharp
demand for lninber space with the
present strong tendency in rates
to Atlantic coast ports is making
general cargo tonnnge continually
tighter, according to dispatches
from San Francisco. It is regarded
as' probable that general cargo
shippers will find themselves rust
ling for space as the season ad
vances. The present basic lumber rate or
S14 a thousani" is in force until
December 31. Spot space has been
closed al higher rates, from $11.50
to $1 0 a thousand feet.
An increase In general cargo rates
to Atlantic seaboard points is con
sidered probable. With a, higher
return from canned goods and vari
ous Pacific coast products moving
through the canal to Atlantic ports,
it follows that operators would find
that type of cargo more desirable.
The peak in the general cargo
movement will not be reached for
several weeks. All available lum
ber space Is hooked three months
in advanc? with no sign of decrease cool
Jji demand.

Lumberman of Present
Day Said to Be
Benefactor
"Llimber was once a nomad In
dustry." observes Wilson Compton
In the Nation's Business. "Now It
has become one of permanent habi
tation, builder- of new industries,
"We are witnessing a revolution
in forest management and nlso In
the utilization of tree products. Ev
erywhere lumbermen aro examin
ing the economic basis of reforesta
tion. The lumberman. Instead of
being a reckless destroyer of a
national resource, plants forests and
spends millions in protection of
the limber now growing to useful
size The new forest age has come
tardily but not anywhere near ir
retrievably too late."

of the west with Japan and that
there are now i billion feet of

Japanese have their eyes is the state
ment of lj. I). Horning In this months
issue of the 4L Bulletin.
.Mr. Horning discounts statements
that litis timber) is inaccessible and
that there is small chance of Japan
using it as a source of supply. He
points out that there are now about
200 mills operating In the region
of Vladivostok and that the pro
duction of mills operating in this
section iiaj increased more than 300
per rent in less tlmn six years.
Tho only American wood not to
be found in Siberia anil therefore
not available for Japanese use is the
cedar. Mr. 11' rnlng points out.
ills conclusion is that Russia needs
the inony and' that Japan needs the
limber and when the two get organ
ized the fir business of the west is
sure to suffer.
