All parties to the three-cornered situation are greatly benefited by the changes.

In addition, the purchaser buys fewer transit cars than he formerly did, because the rapid delivery he gets makes it unnecessary for him to buy them. He can generally order what he wants, and get it in plenty of time, except in emergencies..

Don't forget these things, in conBidering what lumber is, and what it used to be. They have played a most vital part in lumber merchandising.

In one way, this has had a detrimental effect on lumber prices. The manufacturer has gotten into the habit of shipping his stock right from the Kiln as much as possible, an.d thus saving money on stacking and handling. The only objection to that is that he has a lot of lumber seeking an immediate market every day, and he may push sales harder to move it than he otherwise would.

Take the case of Cypress-the world's most prosperous commercial wood. It takes from one to three years to thoroughly dry commercial Cypress, depending on the thickness of the stock. It was from one to three years after a log was cut, before that lumber was for sale. And this fact made the Cypress manufacturers conservative. Lumber that takes years to dry, does not deteriorate quickly. It doesn't hurt it to stand a few months more or less.

STRATGHT OR MIXED CARS-DRY STOCK drying Cypress, the Cypress men waved them gracefully away, and kept right on with their air drying. The men wanted to prove that kiln dried Cypress lost none of the good quality of the wood. Naught cared the Cypress men for that. They didn't want their precious lumber dumped on the .market every week or two. Not on your life ! And today Cypress is dried and marketed just like it used to betr and it brings a price accordingly. They can go slow with their selling, when they go slow with their drying.

But that quick drying and rapid transportation have improved conditions in the nine markets, there can be ng doubt. It has made the business much more business-like, more of a known quantity, has improved the industry's opportunity to serve the public, and made it more useful and practical.

The old story-'t1y5at's time to a hog?" doesn't apply to lumber.

PORTLAND LONGFELLOWS' CLUB ORGANIZED

Assisted by members of the Marshfield Longfellows' Club, and headed by the president of that organization, Ben Ostlind, a Longfellows' Club was recently formed in Portland.

The Marshfield club was the pioneer tall men's club, and had its start May 8 last, founding an association which shows signs of becoming national, and perhaps international in scope.

Some of the reforms demanded by these men of six feet and over are, longer hotel beds, longer bathtubs, higher public mirrors, longer Pullman berths, longer hospital cots, more space between theater seats, changes in army and navy equipment and other necessary changes which are equally important.

Mr. Ostlind is a well known lumberman, being president of the Coos Veneer & Box Co., Marshfield, Ore.

Mill News

Klamath Falls

In some sections of Klamath County, logging has been too long delayed. In a recent shipment from the Pelican Bay Company one out of every ten logs was found to be seriously affected by dry-rot, extending in many instances twenty feet from the butt upward. This over-ripe timber is logged at a decided loss and affords a striking confirmation of the assertion, repeatedly made by the American Forestry Association, that: "Forestry means the propagation and care of forests for the production of timber as a crop." Ripe stands of timber cannot be "left untouched for future generations," a fact that even the uninformed and unthinking may come to understand in time."

Practically all timber having been logged off near the present site of the Topsy Lumber Company of Davis, efforts are being made to acquire a new one six miles east. Plans are now under way which will result in the erection of a new mill with greafly increased capacity, and drillers are now endeavoring to secure a supply of water adequate to all needs. The Topsy Lumber Company has approximately 5,000,000 feet of lumber in its yards at the present time. Very little has been shipped during the present season.
