mittee on agriculture Tuesday virtual
ly agreed to report bill appropriating
$3.50, 900 for the establishment Of a
government plant on the Pacific Coast

Ground kelp, they said, is worth

Allies Want 100000 Feet Fir
From Portland Mills.
SEEK SPRUCE TO BUILD A[ROpLAAE
Railroads Buy Material for Thousand
Freight Cars-0rder Must Be
Filled in Three Months.

Portland-Lumber mills have been
asked to bid on an. order for 5000, 900
feet Of trench posts and pickets for
use by the allied powers in the war
zone.
The posts are to be 2x4 inches and
four feet long, sharpened at one end,
and will be used for stringing barbed
wire along the trenches. They are to
be used on the fighting front in
France, and delivery will have to be
made from Portland within 80 days.
This will insure them reaching Europe,
barring marine accidents, by Septem-
ber. The order may be for all or part
of the 5000, 900 feet.
A large domestic order for lumber
for railroad cars has been placed with
the Douglas Fir Lumber company, Of
Portland. The order calls for 2,000,-
900 feet Of fir.
The European governments are also
in the Portland market for as much
high-grade spruce as can be obtained,
it was learned on good authority here.
This spruce brings $50 to $100 thou
sand, and is for building areoplanes.
The allies agents for trench posts
have been authorized to ask for bids in
Portland and British Columbia. 1t is
presumed by local lumbermen, ship
owners and agents in Portland that
about 1000, 900 feet will be taken
from Portland. The posts would be
cut from Douglas fir and tied in bum
dies of 10 to 20. The cost would be
around SIS to SIG a thousand feet,
bringing to Portland, if the order is
placed here, between $50, 900 and $75,-
900 for the A, 900, 900 feet.
The local river mills could turn out
the order within less time than the
specifications now in Portland hands
require. The lumber posts could be
handled easily by two of the large
steamers, and the canal route could be
taken.
The domestic order which has been
placed with the Douglas Fir Lumber
company of Portland calls for 2, 000,-
900 feet of Douglas fir to be used in
the construction of 1000 automobile
cars and 500 stock car for the Chicago
G. Northwestern railroad. The order
was placed by the Western Steel
Car & Foundry company, of Chicago.
1t will take 80 cars to carry it East.
E. B. Hazen, vice president of the
Douglas Fir Lumber company, said that
the order has been put in the hands
of local and Bridal Veil mills and
would be finished in about week.
The order represents about $50, 900.
The European powers, it was estab-
lished beyond reasonable doubt, are ac-
tually seeking large spruce orders in
the Pacific Northwest, principally Ore
gon. Local lumbermen admit that
they were unable to fill the orders as
fast as they were being received. The
spruce required is of fine grade and
brings from $50 to 500 a thousand
feet. In the last two years about 10,-
900, 900 feet has been taken out of the
Northwest for the construction of
aeroplanes for the European powers.
This confirmation lends considerable
credence to the report from Marshfiled
that the Russian government was seek
ing 80, 900, 900 of spruce in the Coos
Bay country.

Villa and hisoutlaws.

suit of Villa. Furthermore, pledge
