TACOMA. Aug. 19-ISpecial. 1.-THE prop
osition TO have the Washington state
building at the Worlds fair remain per-
manently at Chicago and the move taken
By the state commissioners to make ar
rangements to that end has been brought
to the attention of the Lumbermen's As
ISOLATION. The lumbermen were TO have
the proceeds of the sale Of the lumber in
the building after the fair, and this fund
was to have added to its treasury. That
was the understanding. they say, when
they began the campaign to secure
the necessary lumber for the building.
But it il understood that the state COM
mission has held that the association
could have no part in in the disposition of
that portion of the lumber which was
contributed by lumbermen who were not
members of the association. In fact, 1t 10
held that many of the largest contributors
did not affiliate with the association. At
meetings held previous to the one held at
Seattle last Tuesday the association pro-
posed to get into its organization most OF
the lumbermen who had not yet joined
aud had contributed to the state building.
What action was taken In this matter has
been kept somewhat quiet. and at the
Seattle meeting the association was not
ready to report in the matter. Something
may be done. IL 10 expected, at the ad-
Jonrned semi-annual meeting to be held
here August -.
Commissioner Cavsnaugn arrived to-
night from Chicago. lie says the commis-
sion will carry out the law and have the
building sold and not allow the Lumber
mems Association any part of the pro-
ceeds, The lumbermen may make O
claim on the state treasury for their claim.
He knows of no proposition to make the
building permanent. He left Chicago
Wednesday.
