OPA Removes Varying
Prices on Low Grade Logs
Price differentials between mark
et areas in Oregon and Washing
ton for lower grades of logs have
been removed by OPA in an action
designed to stimulate logging of all
lower grades to meet the extreme
demands for all logs required by the
war program, the state OPA an
nounces.
The action taken with the issu
ance of revised maximum price
regulation No. 161 (west coast
logs), effective January 22, also
raises the price of No. 1 sawmill
and peeler grades of logs for the
Columbia river district and extends
the limits of that district to include
the area north of Lane county,
Oregon, except Lincoln and Tilla
mook counties.
In order to insure proper scal
ing and grrding, OPA included a
provision which requires that on and
after February 22, 1943, all scaling
and grading must be performed by
four specified bureaus or by graders
and sealers approved by OPA.
All logs of Douglas fir, western
red cedar, western hemlock, west
ern white fir, noble fir, and Sitka
spruce produced in Oregon and
Washington west of the crest of the
Cascade mountains are a'fected by
the January 22 action.
Maximum Prices Raised
Here’s a message addressed to
Mrs. America and her daughter.

for training schools between Jure

Soup’s on again, according to the
war production board, which will
allow canners to use unlimited num
bers of cans for packing seasonal
soups such as asparagus, pea, spin
ach, and tomato, but the order is
not so generous when it comes to
chicken, consomme, clam or fish
chowder, vegetable or other soups.
These will be limited to 75 per cent
of the amount of cans used in 1942.
However, all kinds of soups will be
under point rationing sometime in
February, so whether it’s asparagus
or chicken it will mean ration coup
ons for canned soups.
The maximum dollars and cents
prices previously established for all
west coast logs of No. 2 grade and
lower in the Columbia river district
in Oregon, and the Willapa bay and

the ceilings established by the reg
ulation for these logs in the Puget

Current inventories and produc
