By C C. CROW

Lnmber Digest
i Reprinted from the Oregonian)
There have been but tew
times In the history of tbe Pa
cific northwest when winter
weather baa broiicht the lumber
Industry to ao complete a stand
out as hs bei'n ejporleuced dur
ing the past week.
Mills in the Portland district
tin:' "uvr close unless operating
c ndltlons become extremely bad
have had to bow to tbo will ot
Boreas, and until such a time aa
the freetiug temperatures pass,
this situation rsn be cii--- I to
- inue.
The sawmills hsve been In
convenienced more by frosen logs
and ire than by snow, but with
the additional snow which has
piled i:p t the woods this week,
ivu th most favorably aituated
logging camps are idle and it
-.lire several days of com
paratively warm weather to make
it possible for a majority to get
under l again.
While having no sufik'. nt
foundation aa yet to justify con-
strui..g as a permanent trend.
prices on some classes of busi
ness, particilsrly spetlsl cutting
orders, hsve hsd a tendency to
advance. This is not on account
of any lnrr in the volume ot
new placements but it Is the re
sult rf anxiety ot buyers to z-n
tardy orders on the books of
some of the tew concerns that
are In a poeltlon to get them
out.
The psychological effects of
tbe tleup are very good on the
consuming end of the business.
Numerous wires have gone out
from western Oregon and Wash
ington lumbermen recently to
their customers, advising of the
storm and their Inability to book
further business until they can
bava more ot an Idea as to what
their future aawlng program will
be. Even though most ot the
domestic markets are experienc
ing weather which la holding
back construction work, nan ot
January is gone, and within n-
other two weeks the retailers
will begin to figure on making
pnrchaaea for their early spring
requirements and the prospects
of n shrunken supply will very
likely stimulate and speed np
orders ot that nattre. i
One ot the outstanding results !
ot tbe bsd weather has been an
Increasing ahortage of No. 1 fir
la on Pnget sound and in the
Columba river. In spite ot th
unsatisfactory condition of the
general lumber market alnce tbe
middle ot last year, there has
continued to be a good demanl
for special cut fir clears for the
export shipments, and thla has
resulted in a corresponding call
for the better grade ot fir logs.
The closing down of the logging
camps, which took place c'-ti
earlier the: .: did with the mills,
made the manufacturers appre
hensive sbout the supply and aa
a result the best rafts have for
the most part been bought np.
There Is an ample supply of
other grade of fir and also hem
lock and red cedar, but there Is
plenty of reason to believe that
lores will be scarce and h!;i?r

Mill stocks ot lumber are not
excessive, with rare exceptions.
Some Items, aeaaoned dimension
more than anything else, already
are reduced down to tbe point
where a tew mills are having
trouble making up hard assort
ments tor mixed cars, and should
production be held down until
February 1. mill stocks will be
badly broken.
Order files are a trifle heavlel
than they were 30 daya ago, bul
by that it must not be takes
that they are up to normal. Be
ing sold on the idea that the
slump hss reached bottom and
that future revisions ot prices
will be upward, the average
ma: ".tactur-r la not reaching out
for business and the antorced
curtailment of the last few day

make It Increasingly difficult to
slip sn order onto a mill's books.
The stabilisation ot Atlantic

expression in restored confidence
of the buyers In that Importsut
field. Feeling that it la now
sals to anticipate their require
ments, both wholesale and retail
distributors have recently been
making Increased Inquiry and
bona fide placements In better
volume than for some time. This
Is looked upon aa an encouraxlnr.
development because the Atlan
tic coast cargo market has been
In a badly demoralised condition
tor months, with prlcea down tn
such an extremely low point that
neither the lumber manufacturers
nor the steamship companies
could gst by without suffering
heavy lows.
While everyone tn the lumber

of past history will make It clear
to any thinking man that thla Is
tr-e best thing that could happen

we are frosen In, our customers
are In the aame predicament and
they will continue to be Inter
mittently for several weeks after
conditions her hsve become pro
pitious for a msximum output of
lumber.
The pine mills eaat of ths Cas

In fully aa bad ahape aa those
of the frl producers, but they
hsve a different way of looking
at winter lulls, and even though

Several msjor factors enter into the

from other property and general lots
experience.
Surveys Available
The agent who writes your insurance or
your broker or yon, yourself can obtain

The Stock Fire Insurance companies
solicit your interest, and offer free of charge

Seek Counsel
Do not attempt unsound fire prevendou
measures, but seek the counsel of the ac

anxious to tell you the proper way to make
improvements.
Insurance companies generally prefer ,
rinks eligible to a low rate to those which
carry higher onet. A low rate indicates bet
