the announcement that -the rnte ot
4(1 cents per 'hundred pounds on
sAadk from Piwet Souud (ti Atlantic
common points is to "be advanced
to 50 per cent on October I. th?
rate that was in effect for several
yeaTS. Mills and wholesalers had
been building up a large s'book trade
Ka the basis o the lower rate, al
though the steamship lines aJviscl
them when the reduction vas made
that it was experimental.
Kjrth Atlantir buyers tave con
ceded that west const spfqK aud
hemlock shooks are of better qual

With, the transcontinental rail

freight rates It Is seen by shook
wholesalers that the lost Chicago

pushed further beyond their reach.
West coast shippers were able,
under the low water freight, to
ship shooks faT into the interior

with stock from Wisconsin. Effprts
are being made to work lout a plan
that will eaable tbem fcj hold this
trade despite the hiphor freight rate.

Beetle Ravages
Will Be Studied
in Meiolius Area
BEND. A. J. Jaenlcke. national
forest entomologist for the North
Pacific district, and M. W. Stone
of Tnroma. Wash., were in Bond
this morning and expected to leave
today for the pine timber country
near the head of the Meiolius river
and iu the (liven Itidge country,
where they will make an inspection
of the pine beetle infestation to de
termine whether or not control mea
sures will be necessary this winter.
Walt Perry, local lumberman, and
A. D. Cannaviiia. forest ranger, will
be members of the pany also.
Inspections made by Jaenirke,
Stone and t'annavina last spring
showed that a large number of the
pine beetles in the Metolius country
had been killed by the (old weather
of the past winter and it was
thought that control measures would
not be neceBsary. At that time an
inspection trip was planned for this
fall.
After cruising several sections of
timber, data on the extent of dam
age done by the beetles this sum
mer will be compiled to determine
whether or not the forest service
will do beetle control work during
the coming winter.

DATE IS SET
OLYMPIA. Wash. Following a
conference hero today between of
ficials of the state department of
public works and railroad attorneys
May 1926 was fixed as the date
on which the general log rate hear
ing will be held. It was decided
the necessary data could not be as
sembled and arranged before that
time, J. C. Denney, director, said.
The hearing will be held In ac
cordance with the ruling of the
United States supreme court, which
reversed the order of the depart
ment of public works, establishing
uniform rates on the larger lines
of the state because it was held
that the proper method had not been
pursued in arriving at the rates.
The state courts were also reversed
in the high court ruling arid the
case remanded back for further
consideration by the department.
