the lumber market. It's down."
In 1906 when the business was
at It's height, more than so per
cent of the forest products of the
state were bought by the rail-
roads, according to Mr.. Reid. Now
the railroads, especially the east
ern ones, are In no position to
buy lumber. Even during these
times 40 per cent fthe hauling
consists of transporting forest
products, he says. The farmer
still buys his limited amount of
shingles and small timber. but
the bigbusiness In ties, car stills
and bridge timbers is gone, In
MIR. Reds opinion.
Better Equipped
The Northern Pacific is better
equipped now to handle a large
amount OF business than Il has
ever been. The Cascades were
double-tracked, being Just finish
ed this year. Powerful engines
have been added. heavy rails laid
and longer side tracks made. Aft
er all these preparations for good
times were finished. along comes
the slump, caused by conditions
existing In the United States and
not in Europe, asserts MIR. Reid.

The depressed condition of the
railroads In the Northwest is not
caused by the shutting off of the
shipment of munitions and sup.
plies to Russia. but by the con.
tinued slackness of the lumber
industry,

Russia when she found her

merous other supplies" said Mr.
Reid.
These were shipped to the
Northwest, transferred to vessels
and unloaded at Vladivostok.
The single track continental
line across Russia, with made
quate side tracking. soon was
congested and the warehouses
and docks are piled high with
supplies that are practically no
