The greatest shortage of hay ever
known in the Pacific northwest market
is now indicated. While the suffering
from the famished offerings has been
great in this section, advices indicate
that there is an acute shortage of horse
and cow feed everywhere in the three
states. Horses and cows are being put
on short rations all through this terri
tory because of the hay shortage and
there is no relief in sight.
With the drying up of the grass, due
to prolonged dough, dairy interests will
be compelled to feed more generally.
This will soon call for additional heavy

CANADIAN LUMBER
MILLS NOT COMPETITORS

ancouver, Wash.,. Oct. 5.-To the
Editor of The Journal want Just
enough of your space to tell some of
those who wall over free lumber and
shingles coming into this country from
British Columbia, that they either
don't know what they are talking a.
bout or are purposely intending to de-
ceive the public.
ish Columbia line for over 20 years,
was there when lumber and shingles
were put on the free list, and had
sufficient interest in the effect of the
law to make careful inquiry of lumber
and shingle men in that part of Wash
ington. | discovered, what will be n
surprise to many, as it was to me, that
the city of Everett makes more shingles
than all the mills in British Columbia.
The few shingles they are able to send
ON this side of the line are sold at the
same price as the Washington shingles,
but hardly a man that reads this but
would willingly pay from 25 to 80 cents
more for the British Columbia shingles
which are clear of knots, shakes or
deeayed parts, and of full thickness,

to let Ex-Governor Clough answer as
to free lumber. But perhaps / had
better digress here just enough to tell
who Mr.. Clough is. If he were dem
ocrat, | would not take the trouble to
give his testimony. But he is not, never
was one and probably never will be. He
is standpat republican, but a straight
square man who can tell the truth
when required to do so by those who
have had the right to ask, no matter
whom the truth may hurt.
Ex-Governor ClOugh is at the head
of one of the largest lumber mills in
Everett. Testifying before a tariff com
mittee of congress, Governor Clough
stated: "We need no protection on lum.
ber We can manufacture lumber as
cheaply as they can in any other coun-
try. We have made over 80 per cent
on the cost of our plant.'

mittee.
