Some Canny (?) Predictions For New Year

There will be a whole lot of kicking about the weather, but very little, if anything, will be done about it.

Men who never had a bank account will bitterly criticize bankers and interest rates.

Men will die who never died before-some of them will be carrying life insurance.

Meh will argue about politics and religion-but Nor intelligent men.

Lots of folks who welcomed the New Year with enthusiasm, will '"cuss" it urith aviditv before it closes, blaming the year for their own laziness or inability.

We will hear a whole lot about "service"; in fact, we'll hear a lot more of it than we will see.

Men who cannot make a living will continue to vocally settle all matters of human importance.

There will ,be a decided increase in the number of morons and jackasses driving automobiles on the public highways.

Useful men will continue to prosper and say nothing about it, and useless men will continue to fail and raise H--ll about it, just as in other years, past and future.

The Douglas Fir market continues to shou' a wide variation in prices. The manufactures that renegotiated their prices, and lrhich they say they rvill use rvhen they start to book nerv business after the first of the;rear, shou' only moderate advances over the ceiling prices. Some other producers are taking on business at the premium prices offered.

The range in Fir prices betu'eetr lorr and high rttns about as follon's: Dimension, $20; boards, $20; No. 4 boards and dimeusion,. $13; green clears, $40 to $50; dry bundlecl uppers, $50. The variation betrveen lou' and high on timbers and plank is about $10. Prices are higher for spot loading.

Red cedar shingle mill prices last s'eek \\:ere: No. 1, $13; No. 2, $10.50; No. 3 and No. 4, $5.

Prices are higher norr, than they t'ere the first ferv rveeks follol'ing the lifting of OPA cei{ings on November 9. No s'eakness in the market has been reported, and there are no signs of prices leveling off.

There is a terrific demand for lumber. Manl' contractors that have buildings partially completed and are in need of some lttmber items l'ant to get the jobs completed, therr there are many retail dealers u'ho n'ant to get a few carloads of lumber in stock so thel- rvill have something to offer their customers. And there is a large volume of lumber l>eing bought for off-shore shipment.

Expanding production in Douglas fir sar,vmills of Washington and Oregon has boosted the 1946 lurnber output to date nearly 100,000,000 board feet over that for an equal period in 1945, H. V. Simpson, executir-e vice president of the \\rest Coast's Lumbermen's Associatiott, announced.

He disclosed that up to December 1 a total of 5,543,868,000 board feet of lumber had been produced, as against 5,446,589,000 during a similar period in 1945.

"This is the first time during 1946 that cumulative production has surpassed that of. 1945," 1\Ir. Simpson said. "This is encouraging to the building industry generally and leads logically to the expectation that 1947 production irill be even greater.

"Logs are in good supply, and existing salr-mills will be able to continue peak production during the winter. In addition, there has been a substantial increase in the number of nerv mills working in mature stands of timber in Southern Oregon.

"These nes' rnills make it increasinglv apparent that the \Mest Coast lumber industry can prodnce not only for housing but for commercial building. At present the industry's contribution to commercial building is impeded onlv by the restrictive CPA controls s.hich remain as a 'hang-orer' from the period of bureancratic interference u'ith normai business operations."
