Joffre and Napoleon.

A saying of General Joffres which
has never been given the publicity it
deserves comes from correspondent
who vouches for its accuracy. It IL
illustrates charmingly the modesty of
the man who, 1t is claimed. saved
France. The general was explaining
to a favored American visitor the po-
sition of the French army intrench-
ments on the plain beneath the hill
where they stood, and he traced the
course of the German lines beyond

and predicted greatly improved

near future.
Prosperity is returning to the

but surely extending to the Pacific

summer comes around all our bust

crease, and it appears that this will

REJECT SANS PROPOSAL


The county commissioners this
week rescinded the order adopted
some weeks ago, directing County
Assessor J. c. Sans to make a per-
sonal assessment of real estate in the
county according to plan proposed
by him, when the commissioners and
the assessor failed to agree on the
kind of an auto he should have to
use In the work. Sans was to have
done the work personally instead of
employing crew of deputies, as Gus
tomary.
Sans proposed that the commits
sioners by a new five-passenger auto,
to be used jointly by himself and the
county engineer. The commissioners
suggested that Sans take the runa-
bout used by the county superintend-
emit for the past year, intending to
buy larger car for the superintend-
ent. Sans rejected the proposal, the
commissioners rescinded the order
covering the new assessment plan
and now they have snapped the run
about body on the county superin-
tendent's machine for five-passen-
ger body and are fixing him up the
kind of a car he wants.

BLOEOEL WARNS MllMEN AGAINST OVER PRODUCTION
ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT, HAND
URGES LUMBER MANUFACTU IN FUTURE THE
CHIEF CAUSE OF DEPRESSION OF YEARS.

With everything to hope for in the
matter of return to normal times Of
good business in the lumber industry
of Western Washington, mill men
have only one thing to fear at this
time, and that is a too greedy desire
to seize at once upon the slowly ripen-
ing fruits on the tree of prosperity,
says the Seatt'e Times. Lumbermen
and bankers agree that overproduc-
ton by Western Washington lumber
mills has been the main cause of the
troubles of the manufacturers.
Intelligent handling by the mill
owners themselves of the present sit
uation is the solution of the problem,
according to J. H. Bloedel, president
of the West Coast Lumber Manufac-
turers' Association and vice president
of the National City Bank. Mr.. Bloc
del said to the Times the other day:
"The outlook for the enjoyment Of
better times in the near future is
brighter than 1t has been since the
beginning of the war in Europe. Much
has been said and written locally
vancing prices. To certain extent
these statements have anticipated the
future rather than reflected the pres
ent so far as concerns actual orders
received at advanced prices.
Basic Conditions Sound.
"The well-founded optimism that
lumbermen are enjoying comes from
a knowledge of sound basic condi-
tions that will make for better prices
when spring demand becomes a real
ity instead of an expectation, and
from the further knowledge that the
other woods of the country manufac-
tured farther east are already feel
ing an improvement of business gen.
orally.
Local prosperity in the lumber
business can only supplement and
must follow prosperity in other sec
lions, principally the yellow pine pro-
ducing section of the South. All re-
ports from the yellow pine section,
and, in fact, from other producing
are encouraging.
1.-THE policy that will be followed
by the well-posted manufacturer oil
the Northwest for the next sixty days
will be one Of refusing to take anyI
more business at present prices than
he actually has to have to keep his
mill running II his own problems are
such that he cannot cease operating

$4,000 IN PENSIONS.
Families of Victims of Ravensdale
Mine to Be Aided by State Fund.

Pensions to families of the 81 vic
tins of the Ravensdale coal mine dis
aster of last week will be met by spe-
cial assessments upon coal operators
to raise approximately $4,000, oc-
cording to estimates of the industrial
insurance commission.
The industrial insurance commits
sion expects to call a meeting of the
coal operators to discuss the situa-
ton and determine the best means of
making the extra assessments.
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1915-11-26

altogether. Stocks at the mills are
low and broken, and if operating is
necessary it should only be for the
purpose Of preparing stocks for the
satisfactory handling of spring trade.
THAT the lumber manufacturer
should handle the present situation
intelligently is of as much interest to
the people of this section generally as
1t is to the manufacturer himself.
Prosperity in the lumber business
means prosperity to all, and every
dollar received for our product even
tually will find it's way into the chan
nels of our local trade.
"The closing of the Panama canal
has worked great hardship in shut
ting off growing business to the
Atlantic coast, though it may have
an indirect effect by increased rail
movement on such lumber as could
not wait water shipment, thereby in
creasing railroad earnings.
Improvement on Way.
From these facts it must be real
lied that any bald statement of pros
perity having arrived is misleading.
There is little doubt in the minds of
those conversant with conditions that
the long looked for improvement is
on the way, but we must all be con-
tent to await its coming and lay our
plans wisely for its reception.
confirming my own analysis of
the situation, 1 am just in receipt of
a letter from a well-posted Eastern
lumberman in which he says:
" There is no doubt that fir mills
will be benefited decidedly in the next
few months if they do not follow the
policy of some of the yellow pine in
terests and sell out before advances
come in the price of lumber
"This means that some of the yell
low pine mills sold all the lumber
they had before they realized what
had happened.
"Our position geographically, as
the last to feel improved business
should now be capitalized
by us through profiting by advanced
Lumbermen in their po-
sition of semitrust in the converting
Of the forests into money for lumber,
which money goes in such large pro-
portions for labor and supplies.
should exercise that trust with the
greatest foresight and wisdom at this
time Of approaching relief from the
many lean years."
