A LUMBERMAN'S VIEW OF IT
Mr.. Cameron Writes about Advance
in Lumber Prices rs per cent
in Five Years
no rHE cHIcKAsHA ExPREss:

To THE CHIcKAsHA ExPREss:
Answering your statements made
in the EXPRESS as to prices on
lumber.
While there has been an advance
all along the line for the lasl FIVE
years on lumber and other building
material the advance has net been
so great as your statements would
indicate. After looking over in
voices for several years past up TO
the present date find from a close
calculation that the advance has
been in FIVE years about IS IL per
cent, or to make il palmer, about S
ITO per cent per year. The profit
on lumber is smaller than the pro-
fit made on other lines of merchan
disc.
The retail lumber business, up
to eight years ago was fine pay
ing business in the Southwest, not
on account of excessive profits, but
on account of a volume of business
at fair profit. Now it is differ
ent; nearly every town is over
crowded, the volume of business
to the yard is of course less and the
profits not so great as when lum-
Der was sold at a lower price. The
retail lumber Of men of the South
west have not advanced prices ac-
cording to the purchase price from
month to month. Lumber at manu-
featuring prices has kept pace with
everything else, shoes, cotton, cot
ton cloth, clothing, horses, hogs,
and in fact nearly every staple.
The company for whom / work
made little less than 10 per cent
net on their investment at Chicka-

Grafton. If there are any excessive
potts being made on lumber they
are made before the retailer gets
hold of the material and l don. t
see any way to prevent lumber 60
ing higher than it now is because
Germany, France, Mexico, Panama
and other countries are coming TO
our shores and taking our lumber
because they think it is cheaper to
use ours than to consume theirs.
And as for prices for lumber in
Chickasha, they can never be low
er unless the price goes lower at
the mills and | don't believe it
will, because the demand is greater
than the supply. There is no big
pr6ot in lumber in the retail trade
in Chickahsa. Freight costs per
thousand about Sis, drayage so
cents per thousand; taxes, insur.
ance and cullage, clerk hire and
yard labor S7.o6 per thousand,
making So.72 actual cost for
freight and handling, which leaves
the retailer a little less than 10 per
cent net profit on the volume of
business we are doing and have
done for the past three years.

Battling Nelson, Hegewisch. ILL.,. is
the way the card reads. yet few who
are honored by the presentation of
this little piece of engraved paste
board have ever gone farther than to
realize that they are standing in the
presence of the white lightweight

There is hardly nan or child that

OF his fights have been chronicled

And it is peculiar. too. for the sim

up on the Nelson proposition. whether
he is an admirer of the Dane. or not,
all must concede. when they know the

Golf

Western golfers have less to pride
themselves upon this year than in the
two seasons Immediately preceding,
so far as showing in natioral events
is concerned. The proportion of west
ern entries in the national amateur
championship was disappointingly
small, and the showing OF even that
representation disappointingly low.
The two times champion, Chandler
Egan. was one of the three men who
could be classed as westerners who
qualified. Two others. Ned Sawyer
and George Clingman, failed to land
in the thirty-two.
Egan had the misfortune to meet
George Lyon of Canada in the second
round and to lose to that formidable
player in twenty-hole match, the
Toronto man finally figuring as run
ner-up to Eben .Byers. The victory
Of Beers pleased the western players,
who have counted the Pittsburg man
g one Ct them. and his feat in twice
figuring as runner-up--to Louis
James in 1902 and to Travis in 1903
seemed to give him the right to win
the championship sooner or later.
