G. n. Mill Shipping Boxes to
California

1t may be impracticable to ship coal
to Newcastle but the Great Northern
Lumber Co. has not found it impossible
to interest California fruit packers in
Washington made boxes. The past
few months the company has shipt five
car loads to a California fruit packing
company and the hattering comment
leads the company to the conclusion
that future orders will follow. A sample
Of the box, with an assortment Of extra
fancy California figs. raisins, etc., may
been seen in the window OF the Ruther-
ford Grocery Co. The material used
in the box is Washington soft pine
which lends itself to the making OF a
perfect packing case. Intended as a
gift package the lumber on both sides
is dressed and the top and bottom has
beveled edges. The soft nature of the
wood makes fine surface for the print
ing design on the top. The box is the
perfection of the box makers art.

failed to get any OF the ships under
convoy. The New Orleans is in
command of Captain Evans, a son oi
the late Admiral Bob Evans. The
boys write they are we'll cared for and

The Pacific Northwest has been
notified that unless it can cut more
spruce within the next year than it is
doing at the present we will be re-
sponsible for an additional year Of war.
The Government is placing much faith
in the aeroplane as weapon in win

built if the spruce is not to be had.
Col. Brice Disque Of the U. S. Signal
Corps, who is now on tour Of the
United oraIes ~. - r--r---, :.
possible Of increasing the spruce out
put, declares that back in Washington
it is believed that more spruce must
be cut or the war will be prolonged
another year. Col. Disque hopes to
have 10000 men put to work in the
forests OF Oregon and Washington in
order that there can be cut 10000
900 feet of spruce month for the next
six months at least.

Booth Writes from Trenches

The following extract is from a
recent letter to Mrs. E. c. Booth:
Your letter. with note from the baby,
reached me a week ago. Would have
answered at once, but the weather has
been so miserable and our accommoda-
tions SO limited that all my leisure time
is taken up in trying to get halfway
comfortable.
Business as usual" over here-only
a little heavier and more frequent. OF
course, you read all about it in the
American papers. which give the news
more in detail and in better style than
the papers we get.
I would like to write you all about
it, but the Censor would grab it and
fneesh" as the French say.
We've had two or three frosts, cold,
foggy winds, and underfoot. a regular
sea Of Shiny mud. There's only one
consoling thought; it's darn sight
harder on Fritz than on US, because
he's been driven to lower ground and
is greatly discouraged in many. other
ways.
The pictures OF the children of to
school" and Some farmer are fine
indeed, even if Craig does look as if he
was about to jump on some fellow and
chew his ear off. E. c. Booth

.G.N. LUMBER co. PLANS
FOR BIG RUN IN 1918
Officials OF the Company Here Last
Week and Inspected the Plant-Are
Pleased With Outlook

Plans have been matured for the
operation Of the Leavenworth plant ol
the Great Northern Lumber Co., fol-
the year 1918. Unless unforeseen cir
cumstances make it impracticable the
plant will commence operations as
early in 1918 as weather conditions
permit. It is also planned to operate
the plant with a day and night shift.
To that end preparations are being
made to do considerable logging this
winter. The road bed of the COM
pany's logging road is being changed
in way that will make the handling
OF logs more economical.
During the weeks visit Of Messrs.
F. T. Boles and Walter A. Graf, Of
Chicago, respectively president and
vice-president OF the company, which
came TO an end last Saturday night,
when both gentlemen left for home,
every feature Of the operation Of the
plant was gone over. They visited
the logging camps, inspected the saw
and planning mills and expressed them
selves as satisfied with the operation Of
the mill for the year which is now
drawing to a close. The unsettled
condition OF affairs generally, due to no
preventable cause. and the labor
troubles OF the past year, were taken
into consideration. Looking for i'm
proved business conditions during the
coming year, and less labor troubles,
they expressed hopeful view for the
new years operation.

MEN IN DRAFT ACT MAY
ENLIST BEFORE DECEMBER Is
War Department, at Listers Suggestion,
Opens Way for Those Net in Service
To Volunteer

Announcement has been made at
the Office OF Governor Lister that from
now until December Is all men sub
ject to draft who have not been called
and live in districts where the quotas
have been filled may volunteer for en-
listment in any branch of the service
they may desire. After that date,
when the new classification will be
started, no enlistments will be per-
mitted of men between the ages of 81
and 81.
Ever since the final quota was sent
forward kilograms and letters have
been sent to Governor Lister asking il
men who had been called but who had
not been taken into the service might
enlist. He took the matter up with
the war department and urged that
these men not taken be permitted to
volunteer.
Heretofore the rule has been that q
man could enlist up to the time he was
called for physical examination by the
local board, but once called, he could
only join the new national army. Now
every man, whether called or not, who
has not been taken into the service
and who will not be needed by the
local board to fill out the quota Of his
district, may select the DIancn oi Inc
service in which he desires to serve
This ruling is expected to result in {
large number Of enlistments in different
branches Of the army or navy.
