TERRIFIC STORMS
OFF PACIFIC COAST
FIRST GALE OF WINTER RACES
ALL ALONG THE OREGON
= SEA SHORE.
HIGH WINDS WITH RAINS
TiIIamook-SnoW Falls to Depth
of 8 Inches in Cascade Noun
tains Monday Night.

Portland, Ore.-All Oregon coast
points late Monday night were in the
grip of the first storm of the winter
high winds and rain being generally
reported. At North Head, Wash, the
wind attained velocity of 60 miles
an hour. No damage to shipping was
reported, but small craft were held in
port at several points.
A gang of railroad laborers worked
desperately to prevent the Southern
Pacific railroad track along the ocean
beach at Barview, Is miles from Tilla-
nook, being carried out to sea. The
railroad at that point is built on fill
of rock, and huge seas repeatedly
broke entirely over the track, hurting
up powders. The track for a distance
of one mile was endangered.
The first snow of the season fell in
Che Cascade mountains, according to
reports received from the weather sta
ton at the summit Of Snoqualmie pass
through which the Washington state
highway crosses the range. The OBJ
server reported three inches Of snow
fell during Monday night.

TO SAVE LUMBER TRADE.
Canadian Expert Points Out That Co.
operation Necessary for Business.

Canadian Expert Points Out That Co.
operation Necessary for Business.
Portland, Ore.-National and inter.
national cooperation as means OF
developing the lumber industry were
earnestly urged from a variety OF
sources at the forest and conserva
ton congress here recently.
The international aspect of the
lumber trade was presented by H. R
Macmillan, timber trade commission
err for the Canadian government, who
has just returned from trip around
the world, during which we investi
gated the possible future lumber mar
ket.
While Mr.. Macmillan spoke largely
from the standpoint of Canadian
producer, he declared the problems
of the British Columbia lumber in
dustry and of the Oregon and Wash
ington lumber industry are analo
gous.
He declared the future salvation OF
the whole lumber business of the
northwest is the export trade, and
in that particular British Columbia
and the north Pacific states should
work together.
Further. extension of public owner
ship of forests was suggested as one
possible method of permanently sta
bilizing the lumber industry

WILL EXCHANGE PRISONERS.
England and Germany Agree OF
Terms of Trade.

Berlin.-Details of the agreement
reached between Germany and Great
Britain for the exchange Of all Ger
man and English civil prisoners de-
tanned in England or the British col
onies and the dominions or in Ger
many and who are more than As
years old, are printed in the semi
official Nord Deutsche Allgemeine
Zeitung. The newspaper says:
at is further agreed that younger
prisoners shall be exchanged as soon
as they reach the age of As. Both
countries, however, are authorized to
except from this exchange prisoners
of the age mentioned If military rea-
sons warrant. This amendment was
added by Great Britain and accepted
by Germany in order not to com.
promise the whole agreement.
Germany first had suggested that
all civil prisoners in both countries
be released and sent home and a
promise given that the exchanged civ.
IL prisoners would not be admitted in
to the respective armies. This was
declined by Great Britain. Germany
then proposed to exchange all civil
prisoners older than As years, with
out exception, to which Great Brit
tain only agreed after the foregoing
amendment had been adopted"

and spasmodic advances taking place
in Chicago and eastern markets.
prices are more or less nominal,
based upon the requirements, but
bluestem ranges up to $1.49 at the
top, while club wheat has closed up
the big differential heretofore main
tanned between it's quotations and
milling varieties, and is up around
SLAP at the top. There Is a little
export business working for west
coast, but, on the whole, the restrict
ed operations incident to lack of
transportation facilities, continues.
Flour Flour values have again
been raised, although the local mar
ket is still well below the parity Of
eastern quotations. The updertone OF
the situation is one Of pronounced
strength, in which the possibilities OF
further drastic advance is recog-
nized. There are good demands, but
very light export movement main
tanned.
Feed-Feed prices have been boost
ed sharply during the first half OF the
present month. Oats, barley and
feed wheat have all been marked up,
and the position of the market is a
strained one. Correspondingly, mill
offal is higher. Hay has also expe-
rienced the same boost in values and
all by-products are giving Indications
of seeking record attitudes.

WILL INVESTIGATE
ENGLAND'S POLICY
OFFICIALS PREPARE TO DETER.
MINE WHAT MATERIALS TO
BEAR TRIPLE DUTIES.
WE WILL RETALIATE BY LAW
Discovery That Importers Are Bound
by Contracts Surprises Treasury
Department-WiII Ask Con-
gress to Modify It.

Observation-Disclosures was re-
Gently started by the treasury depart
ment to determine what kind of raw
materials imported from the British
empire should be subjected to thrice
the regular customs duties in accord
ance with the recently passed legis-
lation penalizing the importation OF
goods under restrictions upon other
dealings of the importers.
Publication Monday or results of an
investigation at the state department
showing that Great Britain has built
up a series Of contracts to which inn
porters of many of her raw materials
must submit created great surprise
in both treasury and other official
circles, not only because of the ex-
tent of the allied domination Of Am
erican trade revealed, but because at
tention was called to the applicability
of paragraph 802 of the revenue bill,
which apparently had escaped notice.
Law Demands Retaliation.
Treasury officials do not conceal
their concern over the unexpected in
formation and Indicated that as far
as they knew the legislation would
be applicable Immediately. Indeed,
they said, it's provisions are manda-
tory and not discretionary, as with
the other retaliatory acts. The first
legislation which has been passed to
protect American trade, after the war
and which was aimed strange enough,
some officials pointed out, especially
at the German dye importers, would
seem to apply during the war and
against the British. Section 802 had
been introduced into the revenue bill,
it was explained, at the instance of
the department of commerce, simply
to prevent German dye importers
from forcing American firms who
bought part Of their dyes in Germany
to buy all of them there.
g May Ask Congress to Modify.
Great difficulty, it was pointed out,
will be experienced in enforcing the
Legislation. The department can act
only in the case of each individual
importation and then only on proof
that the law has been violated. So
far, it is said, no complaints have
been received either from disaffected
importers, or from the state depart
ment, which is expected to submit
proofs Of violations of law so clear
ly International in effect.
Officials indicate that, as the re-
suits likely to ensue from an enforce
ment of the act are so opposite to its
purpose and so questionable as to the
public interest that an attempt may
be made to have it modified as soon
as congress reconvenes.

General Trade Conditions.

Bradstreet's says. Trade and in
dustry never moved at quicker pace
than at present, while abnormally
high commodity prices counsel eau
ton lest a sudden veering of trade
conditions may come, demand Is SO
Unsuitable that buying seemingly will
go on while the European war lasts.
AS yet there is no sign of the satura-
ton point being reached as regards
supplies of goods, and, while high
prices are complained of, there is no
evidence, aside from conservatism In
buying some textiles that have ad-
vanced largely, of the buying move
ment being checked. Weekly bank
clearings, $6,665, 210,000.
