NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-The boom in
Standard Oil stocks Oh the curb and
lover the counter yesterday carried
prices so far forward that stock of the
Standard of New Jersey as it existed
before the dissolution, was worth more

court decree was put into effect five
years ago, was $3.50 Applying yester-
days value of old Standard Oil shares,
with equity. in subsidiary companies
intact, the market worth of the COM
pany's original capital stock was close
to S2,000,000,000. This makes John
d. Rockefeller, head of the company,
easily 4 Millionaire.
When the government suit against
the Standard Oil company for dissolu-
ton was in its earlier stages, on Sept.
u, 1907, the stock list of the company
was made public on the witness stand.
Mr.. Rockefeller was shown to own
247 ,692 shares of stock, more than
three times as much as any other hold
er, and more than six times as much as
the next largest individual holder, tive
estates ranking next to him. This
stock was valued at 1878 a share on
the day the company was broken up
five years ago by the supreme court ::
decision, though at times it had solo
as high as $3.50.

lumbia Meet in Aberdeen.

Aberdeen lumbermen were hosts
Saturday for "a Northwest Rite-Grade
Shingle manufacturers, who gathered
here to discuss trade conditions. The
men were enthusiastic over the sue
cess of their national advertising
campaign Of the past few months and
most of them wanted to extend it's
scope next year. The campaign of
the association in 1917 undoubtedly
will include concentrated advertising
in newspapers as we'll as in magazines
of national circulation. George NJ.
Cornwall, editor of the Timberman,
praised the advertising scheme for
Rite Grade shingles and told of the
great results which national advertis-
ing Of such things as oranges, raisins
and soaps had done.
The visiting shingle men represent
ed Oregon, Washington and British
Columbia. In the morning the party
visited and inspected the Grays Harbor
and Wilcox shingle plants in South
Aberdeen. At noon the visitors were
the guests of w. J. Patterson at the
country club, and after luncheon en-.
gagged in an 1S-hole handicap golf
tourney. In the evening the visitors
were entertained at dinner at Hotel
Washington. by E. c. Miller, at which
the tables were beautifully decorated
and vocal and instrumental music rem
dered.

Combinations

abroad by the various interested or
ganizations, as well as from govern
mental agencies. Briefly summarized,
these conditions are as follows:
Belgium-Forests entirely destroy
ed; the nation so wrecked physically
and financially that it will have to
be entirely rebuilt, and this rebuild
ing will have to be financed by the
major powers.
Enormous Demand Shown
France-NOrthern France must be
rebuilt, enormous distances of rail-
road lines laid, with a consequent de-
mand, beyond estimate of quantity
for railroad ties, sleepers and lum.
ber to rebuild entirely the farm
buildings, villages and cities of North
ern France. This need will be defi-
mite, regardless Of the outcome OF
the present war.
England-Its forest, as we'll as those
Of Scotland, denuded, the supply of
lumber already exhausted, and i'm.
ported lumber needed for all future
building, until new forests grow to
take the place of the timber cut to
use for war purposes.
Italy-The supply of timber is gone,
used in war operations, either for
Italy herself or her allies, and great
quantities in immediate demand.
Spain-The forests cut and the lum-
ber sold to warning nations.
Germany No estimate made of
conditions, but the need only less
than that of the allied powers in
proportion to the extent to which the
German government has foreseen the
future and prepared to meet the
emergency by the holding of great
tracts as public forest.
Russia has great supplies of stand
ing timber, Baltic pine chiefly, but
not, during the war at least, avail
able to the other allies, and even after
peace is declared not suited to the
demand owing to its lower quality.
To secure this business, it was
declared to be necessary only for
the American lumbermen to 90 after
the trade systematically, with an ad-
vance knowledge of the needs of the
various nations.

Hughes Is Say-Nothing Candi.
date, Says Ole. Old Battle
Cry Ineffective This Year

Tacoma, Aug. 23.-"Hughes is the
say-nothing candidate" Ole Hanson,
one of the most prominent among the
progressive leaders of the state and
the Progressive candidate for the
United States senate in 1914, told the
Democrats who gathered at the Peer
less grill Thursday noon. "He offers
nothing constructive to the people of
this nation. Wilson stands for pro-
gressive principles.
President Wilson has caused to be
enacted into law many progressive
policies: the rural credit bill, enabling
the farmer to borrow money cheaply
with longtime easy payments; the
income tax law, good roads laws. and
8-hour law for postal clerks, the child
labor law which he is trying to force
through congress. These are just ex-
amples of the progressive measures
which Wilson stands for and enacts
into laws.
"Wilson has kept us out Of war. He
is lover Of peace, and is just now
trying to settle the railroad strike,
which will cause industrial chaos If
not mediated.
"The old battle cry of the Repub-
lican party has been raised from every
office.seeker's lips. Woodrow Wilson
back in Washington is confronting
problems today as serious almost as
confronted Lincoln at the beginning
of the Civil war. He is fighting the
battles of the people of this nation
Night and day he is thinking and
planning for you and for me.

or attacks on our president AS
American cities it is our duty at
this time to silence the harsh criti-
cisms and unthinking partisan preju.
dice and stand by our president"
Mrs. H. H. Collier presided at the
meeting, which brought out one of the
largest gatherings since the campaign
opened. Mr.. Hanson and George Fish
burne were the principal speakers.
Among the out-of-town visitors were
Roscoe Drumheller of Seattle, collector
of customs for the Puget Sound dis
trict, and T. w. Beeks of Seattle. for

A detailed statement of the dis.
bursements of the two Aberdeen ship
yards during the few months they
have been in operation was read, show
ing that approximately $350,0OO had
been spent, the most of which was
for labor and supplies purchased in
the city.
E. c. Finch, in advocating an effort
to secure additional manufacturing
enterprises, called attention to the
now famous plan adopted by the city
of Williamsburg, Pa, with tremen-
dous success. and the secretary was
directed to secure all the information
possible relating to the Williamsburg
plan, for the benefit of the Chamber.
1t was reported that while the
strike of the longshoremen on Grays
Harbor had not been formally called
off, all the men were at work, and
that the only abnormal conditions now
existing was that the union sailors
would not permit the union longshore-
men to work on board the ships, un-
til they were formally notified that
the strike was ended. A committee
consisting of w. c. Mumaw, J. ].
Kaufman and c. A. Holmer was ap-
pointed to confer with the longshOre-
men about the strike being formally
terminated.
w. C. Mumaw directed attention to
the success of the four cheese fac
tories, established within the past
two years in the eastern part of the
county. saying they produced cheese
valued at half a million dollars. The
establishment of these plants was due
largely to the efforts of Mr.. Mumaw,
when president of the Chamber, who
saw the natural advantages possess
ed by this country for the dairy bust
ness, and they have proved sue
cess from the beginning, so much so
that two more are now being organ
ized, one at Ocosta and the other in
the North River valley.

ted States in sending abroad a corps
of experts to study the condition of
European lumber markets with a view
to a great expansion OF the field of the

the conference marked the opening Of

tion's business man and the govern
ment itself for the extension of Amer

will be the urging of the immediate
passage of the Webb bill, now pending
in congress, to remove any question
of the legality of the organization by
lumber manufacturers and other
groups Of business men of foreign
sales agencies to secure and distribute
orders for American goods to be sent
to foreign countries.

today's conference by two members Of
