GEO. WEIR OF COOS BAY LUMBER CO. REPORTS BIG DEMAND FOR PORT ORFORD'CEDAR

George Weir, Sales-Man'ager of the .Coos B1f Lumber Co., reforts that the demand for Port O'rford Cedar, both domestlo'and in the Orient, is active a,nd that their mill at Marshfield, Oregon, is working to full capacity.

He says that there has been considerable demand for Port C)rford Cedar ties in China and owing to the physical characteristics of the wood, is is well adapted for this use. Japan continues an active market for port Orford Cedar logs. Mr. Weir states that Japan will always be a goodi mirket for Port Orford Cedar; that Japan has a species of cypress andl cedar gr,owing in the islands 'but owing to restrictions that are placed on the cutting of this timber by the Governm;ent, it is necessary to look to outside markets for their supply bf cedar. The Japanese are accustomed to working cedar; like its qualities; and for this reason Port Orford Cedar will ,always find a ready market there.

Shipments of shop and the other upper grade of Port Orford Cedar to the Atlantic Coast and Eastern markets havd also been heavy during the past year. The Coos Bay Lumber Co. are the largest manufacturers of Port Orford Cedar on the Pacific Coast and Mr. Weir states that their total production of this species during the past year will compare favorably with other years.

Spring

Oh, the poplars burn gold in the sheen of the sun, And the little rvinds whisper and sing, For a sparkle of dew As it catches the'skies

Is a twinkle of blueAnd it matches her eyes-

Let the forests turn gold in .the sheen of the sun, In my heart'it is spring, it.,is spring.
