WHAT'S. WRONG WITH
LUMBER BUSINESS?
SUBSTITUTES AND HIGH RETAIL
PRICES, SAYS FINANCIAL ED.
ITOR OF SEATTLE PAPER.
What's the matter with lumber?
The biggest industry In the state is
the most depressed.

Why?
These are questions asked by Ed
win Selvin, financial editor of the
Seattle Post-Intelligencer, and these
are his answers:
1t isn't the war-the lumber bust
ness was in worse shape before the
war than 1t Is now. 1t isn't any one
of a half dozen causes that as many
different observers will tell you Is the
matter with lumber.
The real root of the trouble goes
deep into the fundamentals. The
selling and distributive ends-the
most important Of any business-are
economically unsound in the lumber
industry.
High Prices and Substitutes.
The mills-the producers-have
no control over their own product.
Here in Washington we have the
spectacle of many mills shut down:
tiJoC IhdI al OPCA otih6 uOluS SO al
about or below cost of production.
The consumer is not getting the
benefit of low prices: no price induce
ment to use lumber instead of its
many substitutes Is offered. The re-
taller Is charging the consumer the
same price he did in the years OF lum-
Der prosperity, bocketing as an added
profit the difference between what the
manufacturer then sold at and the
present prices he is compelled to take
to keep his plant running.
The general demand for lumber in
this country has been constantly de-
creasing. The lumbermen have been
asleep. The lumber substitute men
have been wide awake. The latter
have not bothered about retailers.
They have gone direct to the con-
sumner with newspaper advertising
and created a countrywide demand
for their substitute products that has
compelled retailers to stock them.
With lessened lumber demand the
retailers have turned and squeezed
the producers, and having them at
their mercy have made even larger
profits on lesser volume of business.
This is really what is the matter
with the lumber industry in this state
and every other state that produces
lumber.
Efforts to Control Situation.
The more far-seeing Of the men
with their fortunes tied up ineXtri-
cably in the lumber industry are be-
ginning to see it.
The Weyerhaeuser interests are a
case in point. George T. thompson
of Minneapolis, was in Seattle the
other day. He is one Of the big line
ward operators; his concern was the
Wells-Thompson company. with I'll
wards in North Dakota, South Dakota
and the southern part of Minnesota.
IF ia now the Thompson Yards, Inc,
and the Weyerhaeuser interests are
the biggest stockholders. Merely an
effort of a leading producer to get in
touch with the consumer, exercise
some control over his product and
h,oot nm an artificial situation as to
market price to the consumer.

FRENCH ESTIMATE or
GERMAN L0SSES3, 900, 900

Paris, March G;S0 p. M An Of
fcial note issued by the French press
bureau declares that the German loss
es since the beginning Of hostilities in
killed. wounded, sick and prisoners
reaches the total Of 100000 men,
This calculation is based on the
known casualties i'm ten German regi-
ments,
IAN analysis of the German losses
during five months, in ten regiments
taken from army corps on both the
eastern and western German fronts,
shows "A total Of 6,2S1 officers and
soldiers: that is an average per regi-
ment of 725 monthly" says the note.
Applying this percentage OF losses
to the entire German army, including
tho land Nehr, laudsturm, new forma-
tions and marines, the deduction is
made that the total German losses
during the seven months of the waf
must exceed 100000
The note continues.
EVEN admitting that certain rcgi-
ments suffered less than those men
toned above. all the regiments have
been violently engaged repeatedly on
one or the other Of the two fronts,
sometimes on both, and it is impos-
sible to arrive at q smaller figure for
the total German losses, including the
sick, than 2.a00 900"
