AN IMPORTANT MOVE.
Lnmbermen's Association viii INSPECT al
CarpOes

CargoeS.
Z n important move has been inauour.
ated for the protection and the general
benefit OF the numbering business OF the
northwest, and it took shape in meet
ing OF the cargo committee OF the Pacific
Goa Lumber Manufacturers ASSOCIATE n
which was held at the office OF Secretary
Beckman last week.
That meeting resulted in the appoint.
ment OF an inspection bureau, to be
known as the Pacific coast lumber in
spection bureau. 1t means that hereafter
the lumber OF all the mills for the north
west will be inspected at the irlls in.
stead of being forced to undergo inspec-
ton at San Francisco. For 20 years the
lumber of this section has been inspected
at the California city. Often thousands
OF feet OF lumber were rejected there and
could be sold for nothing but firewood.
There were instances where the lumber
was wrongfuliy rejected simply because
there was jeaiousy between the Sound
country and San Francisco. Hereafter
that trouble will be done away with,
Washington, Oregon and British Colum.
bia lumber will be passed at the mills
where itsis made.
The new plan will benefit the producer
as we'll as the buyer. In this connection
it will bring about the chartering of ves-
sells at Grays llarbor ports, where they
take on cargo, instead Of at San Fran
cisco, and in :ime it means that supplies
for long voyages will also be taken on at
the loading ports.
Each vessel will be inspected as to
contents and grading and will be given
certificate from the bureau that the
lumber aboard is up to grade as per the
requirements.
At present the bureau inspection takes
only the foreign and coastwise trade.
Eventually it will be applied to the East
ern shipments, but everything cannot be
done at once. That may come within
the next few Eelnths. Local inspection
is an absolute guarantee that the lumber
from this section is up to grade in every
resi- ect. 1t is for the exclusive benefit of
the lumber trade, both the manufacturer
and the buyer. There can be no trust in
the proposition. its promoters say, for
British Columbia is included in the
section and duty must be paid OH that
lumber.
the inspectors are required to make
daily report OF the inspections they make,
where they are to be the next day, etc.
The tallymen at the various mills will
be sworn in as deputy inspectors and the
duty OF the chief inspector will be to look
after the tallymen and see that none but
competent men are employed.
In speaking Of the new bureau Secre-
tary Beckman said "The move just
started is most significant one. 1t is
bigger than it looks, and | am sure that
the benefit will be great. 1t will protect
the manufacturers of lumber in this
country, it will bring ships here for
charter, it will let San Francisco know
that we can take care of ourselves and
there are dozens of reasons why the ac-
lion taken is most important. 1t will not
be Il month until the good effects will be
seen on every hand "
