What Live California Lumbermen are Doing

FR,AMBES BACT FROII NOR,THERN TRIP N,EPOR,TS }IILLS IIOLDING FIRM ON PR,ICES

W. P. Frambes of the Los Angeles wholesale firm of Fletcher & Frambes has just returned from a tour of the Northwest that lasted for nearly two months ancl that took him into nearly every important lumber prod.ucing center in Oregon and Washington. He traveled by automobile and was accompanied by Mrs. Frambes. ' "I\[any of the mills had no lumber to sell," says Mr. Frambes, " and those with anything to sell were inclined to base their price quotations on standards set by the eastern market. In other words, the market generally was pretty firm with scarcity of stocks in many lines and at many mills."

Mr. Frambes arrived in the Northwest when the forest fres were at their worst and many logging camps and mills were closed. But heavy rains early in August put an end to the fires and enabled. the fir industry to resume opera' tions on a normal basis. The roads between Los Angeles and Puget Sound are good. with the exception of a few detours where construction is under way.
