COAST LUMBER BUSINESS
Is FALLING OFF

Portland, April 2-Owing to a fall
ing off in the demand for lumber for
rail shipment the log market has
dropped to such an extent that some
camps in this district will probably
close temporarily, and the owners
of mills in the country, who depend
nearly entirely on the rail business,
will probably follow suit until the de-
mand becomes normal. They attri-
butte the falling off to the tariff re-
vision. Buyers are holding back to
see what will be done with the Payne
bill.

wise way, that Education didn't

father with which to pay the trou-
blesome debt, as there was TO be no
