THE BIG SAW MILL
WORKING OVER TIME
Lumber Business Is on the Up Grade
Orders Coming BY Mail and Wire
Paying Best Wages

A visit TO the plant of the Lamb
Davis Co.'S yard and mill one day this
week revealed a very busy concern.
The mill is running on longer hours, a
reasonable prospect that the increasing
demand for lumber may justify still
further increase in the output, which
means the employment of additional
help. This mill, We were told, is pay
ing top wages for labor, more than
many of the coast mills are now paying.
The recent advance of so cents per
thousand by the lumber association,
instead Of curtailing orders, has had
the effect Of stimulating business.
Depleted stocks in the retail yards,
with an expected heavy demand from
the farmers as soon as the bumper
crop soon to be harvested is realized
on, will cause a further advance, and
retailers now are inclined to stock up
in expectation of sure demand for
lumber from the prosperous farmers OF
the great Mississippi valley. The rail-
roads have bought about sixty per
cent OF all the lumber that has been
sold the past six months, and that has
not been half the quantity that they
usually buy, anticipating heavy
freight traffic are now buying more
literally. With the movement OF the
crop a general revival lin all lines is
looked for. Inside of sixty days busi-
ness will again be on normal basis.
The cotton crop, which cuts such a
large figure in the prosperity of the
Southern states, and is OF enough i'm
portance to effecs the trade welfare OF
the entire country, is not up to stand
ard, but may turn out better than
present reports indicate.

than the present quarters provide.
Mr.. o. S. Sampson, who is president
of the Leavenworth Investment Co.,
submitted a proposition which the gov
eminent deemed satisfactory and noti-
fed him to that effect. 1t will take
some time to fix up the new quarters,
as new and improved fixtures will be
installed.
The removal into new quarters will
probably not take place before the
tenth or fifteenth OF August. The new
site is centrally located and convenient
to the business district. The building
is brick completed in 1918.

that the demand for lumber this year
will be greater than it has been for
many years. Should the movement
increase with the harvesting OF the
crops leading wholesalers and manufac-
turers declare that the railroads will be
unable to furnish sufficient rolling
stock to meet the requirements.
Wholesalers are assured of a profit

level, while the manufacturer sees more
hopeful indications of reward for his
investment than at any time during
the last two years.

PROSPEROUS TIMES
WILL SOON BE HERE
Conditions are Good Throughout the
Country-Immediate Revival
of Business Looked For

Expressing the sentiment of bank
ers and business men of the middle
west, George Prince, chairman of the
board Of directors of the Merchants
National bank Of St. Paul, who was in
Tacoma last week, predicted that the
volume of business, which has grad
ually been on the increase for several
months, would eclipse that OF 1918 by
a great margin.
Mr.. Prince said that conditions were
good from the standpoint Of the vol
ume of trade, though there was not
the usual snap:" While iobbers,
wholesalers and merchants generally
were doing larger volume Of business
at present than last year. he said prices
were slightly lower. and this he be-
lieved was partly responsible for the
noticeable lack Of snap" in trade.
Mr.. Prince said that business men
felt optimistic over the prospects of
large crops. He said crop conditions
were excellent in the Dakotas, Mon
tana, Minnesota and other middle wes-
tern sections. AS an indication Of the
return of prosperity, Mr.. Prince cited
building activities, particularly in ST
Paul, where the Merchants National
bank, of which he is head OF the direc-
tors, was building a 16-story building
in the heart of the business district of
the city. and building for the Great
Northern, Northern Pacific and the ].
]. Hill bank was under construction,
which would cost So, 100000. With
the general expectation OF the imme-
diate revival Of business everywhere,
the St. Paul bank official declared sew
eral Of the largest department stores in
St. Paul were making large expansions
and others seeking new and larger
quarters entirely.
Mr.. Price says the volume Of busi-
ness is larger than last year, though
prices are slightly lower and business
in general is not what it should be.
However. prospects are bright.
With the biggest crops in the his
tory Of the United States estimated for
this summer, there is every reason to
believe the lumber business will ex-
perience a rejuvenation, according 10
7. S. Galbraith, vice president and
manager Of the Eatonville Lumber Co.
and vice president Of the Tacoma East
ern Lumber Co.
The stocks in the eastern yards are
low and with the large crops it will be
absolutely necessary that they be re-
plenished soon," Mr.. Galbraith says.
There is no doubt that the mills will
have all they can do for the summer
months, TO fill orders that must be
placed.
The lumber business other than
railroad buying is about normal. The
The railroads are the largest single
buyers, taking about 40 per cent Of
the lumber output. The mills that
have stock on hand this summer will
have no trouble in selling it. If the
railroads start buying, even at a nor

LOCAL STEEL PLANT
NOW IN LITIGATION
Manager of Washington SeeI & Iron Co.
and Trustees Fall Out and Take,
Their Troubles into Court

That the rupture between Manager
E. H. Rothert of the Washington
Steel & Iron Co., and the trustees of
the company which broke out last
week, has tied the plant up in
litigation that will not be settled for
many months to come, is the belief
now expressed by some OF the smaller
stockholders.
The trouble began when o. P.
Moore, ]. L. Torkelson, E. K. Allen
and M. A. Corner, trustees Of the COM
pany, becoming dissatisfied with the
manner in which Mr.. Rothert was con-
Quoting the business, attempted to
oust the manager and take from escrow
Mr.. Rothert's secret process OF making
steel. Following this action Mr..
Rothert thru his attorneys L. ]. Nelson
and Thomas & Hanan, filed an injunc-
ton in the Chelan county superior
court asking Judge Grimshaw to re-
strain the directors from carrying out
their intentions of taking the formula
of making steel from the Traders
National Bank at Spokane where it lies
in a sealed envelope. The request
was granted after which the trustees
took a change of venue to Spokane
county where the injunction was con-
tinued until such time as the court
orders to the contrary.
Another suit was filed Tuesday by
the Trustees to compel Mr.. Rothert to
turn over certain property to the COM
pany which he now holds in his own
name.
While there is probability that the
differences between the manager and
the stockholders will be settled ami
cably, recent developments lead one to
believe that the trouble has just started.
At the last meeting Of the stockholders
held in April, the present directors
were elected who will hold Office for
one year.
While Mr.. Rothert is the majority
stockholder, having 81 % of the million
shares, it is doubtful if he will have
much say in the handling of the com
pany's business until after April, 1915,
when at the stockholders meeting at
that time he will be able by voting his
stock to elect his own trustees. Just
what will transpire before that time,
whether the present trustees will sue
ceed in getting the Rothert process OF
making steel is causing much specu-
lation thruout the country. There is
some talk Of special meeting OF the
stockholders being called for the pur-
pose of bringing the estranged parties
together which no doubt would be well
coined by those interested in the com
pany.
Mr.. Rothert, who has in the past
turned out small patches of steel, still
maintaines that his method of convert
ing magnetic iron ore into high grade
tool steel is successful and if given the
chance he will prove it. He states
that the delay in getting the plant into
operation was due to several slight de-
fects in the furnaces.
The trustees do not claim that the
Rothert process is worthless but hope
by taking the formula from escrow to
definitely learn whether it really has any
value. They also charge the manager
with incompetency in the handling OF
the plant.

NAL rate of previous years, the mills
will not be able to fill the orders.
Mr.. Galbraith is confident that if
the lumbermen demand a better price
they will get it. There is no doubt
the prices are now so low that all profit
is swept away, but if the mill men re-
fuse to accept orders at the present
basis they will improve. All the mills
would have sold just as much lumber
during the last year if they had de-
manded a price 50 a thousand feet
higher.
Il believe the steps taken at the
recent meeting OF lumbermen in Ia
coma to hold out for a higher price
will have the effect desired. OF course
there are small mills that are in need
of money that will cut the price, but
there are enough resolved to demand a
fairer price to bring about the desired
result. If the mills will stick together
in this matter and not cut each others
throats the price will improve during
the last of the year as we did in 1912
and the demand will continue.
Dorminick & Dorminick, one Of the
big New York financial houses, predict
the return of prosperity in the market
after the first Of July and an increase in
the prices of securities with a firm,
optimistic tone.
The letter to its Tacoma represen-
tative who is a relative OF one of the
partners of the firm, says:
Extreme stagnation in all the Sc
curity market continues, and we can
not expect any improvement in activity
until the long discussed railroad rate
case is settled one way or the other.
1t is certainly pity that the interstate
commerce commission cannot make
their decision in this all important case.
The government crop report of
June l was certainly remarkable, but
it did not have much effect on the
market. The indicated yield of both
winter and spring wheat is about 900,-
100000 bushels-over 100, 100000
bushels greater than ever before in the
history Of the country. This should
give the country wonderful prosperity,
as it means an enormous amount of
new money that has come out OF the
ground.
We expect to see an upturn in the
market during the next two weeks, on
account of the July ! reinvestment de-
mand, which always appears at this
time of the year. With money easy
and high-grade securities low, it would
seem almost foregone conclusion that
they must work somewhat higher"
Within the past week lumber has
advanced so cents per thousand feet,
and shingles are now selling for $3.50

10 cents over last week and hundreds

lumber yards in the east, it is said,
which have been postponing their or
ders for the last four years in the hope
that the Panama canal would give them

not be available in time for this fall's
shipments and they have reached the
point where they must have lumber.

difficult to get people to give them
selves and their time to this blessed
work of teaching Gods little children
about Him. The same is true of the
work of guilds and other religious or
CARNATIONS. Meantime the theaters
are packed daily. and card parties and
balls and other amusements flourish.
Or, take another line of instances.
There is a crude saying that money
talks" What about that. In the
church and other religious and semi
religious plants" of Grand Forks we
have invested about $4,000. This
is, I believe. a liberal estimate. To
support the work of these institutions
the citizens of the city are giving
about $4,000 yearly.
This looks liberal. But place beside
it another fact. And Il choose this
particular fact not because 1t repre-
sents an outlay which is in any way
vicious, but rather because it is inno-
cent and, to q certain degree helpful.
1 refer to the automobile. The best
informed assert that there is invested
in automobiles in this city the sum
Of 100000. The cost Of upkeep for
these is not less than 100000. So that
on this one amusement and luxury
this city is spending $4,000 more than
on all It's religious institutions.
I have not included the hospitals in
this estimate, for they are in part
money-making institutions.
Now brethren. this means material
ism. Just that and nothing else. And
so I repeat, that in the last few years
there q been in Grand Forks q
ness; and g. decrease in ~self-sacrif1ce
n goodness.
We read in Gods word about the
| evils which come upon those nations
and people who forget God. Now
what is forgetting God?" 1t is not
denying Him. for the devils believe,
and tremble;" and yet they have for
putting something else in His W
place: forgetting His rightful place in.
our lives. Gods place everywhere Is
first, and we must make 1t so, or for
get Him. Do we make it SO? The
above facts and figures seem to say
no"
The European war shows that men
kill" But the peoples of Europe
have let themselves be led to believe
that patriotism say kill" And they
are killing, In a horrifyinR way. So
they forget God,
But God is trying to call them back.
Let me callNto your mind the names
of certain great world-powers of the
past. Ninevah, Tyre. Egypt, Babylon,
Greece. Rome, Spain. France. Each
of these grew great and f1ourished for
a time. and then fell. And every one
Of them, before they fell, had for
gotten their God and turned to selfish
ness.
Now these great facts Of history
mean Just thing, namely that God
will not be forgotten Of His children.
He will not be forgotten because He
knows that such forgetfulness means
destruction. And He, loves Hia chill
sdren too wellkto let them thus destroy

at first. and. for a long time. But IL
they go on In their ,fo~rEetfulness then
His love is such that II can and does
