The Southern pine mills, following
this weeks conference of their repre-

are now counted on to deliver timber

ly with the car embargo order and the
menace of Communicating in the even:

The supply OF spruce for airplanes is
still greatly restricted, but the situa-
ton is far better than it has been
The shortage Of supply in the principal
spruce district, two counties of South

coast from Coos Bay north, was due TO

in Washington. The general output of
the Washington lumber mills is now
up TO so per cent Of the normal, and
the West Coast Lumber Association is
making SPECIAL effort to get out the

Major Charles R. Sigh, of the equip
ment division Of the Signal Corps,
while refusing to commit himself on
a report from Portland, Ore, that only
100000 feet of spruce is being de-
livered, as against a monthly require

untouched timber and cut the fir as
we'll az the spruce, thus compelling the
manufacture Of unneeded FIR At the
same time only 10 per cent Of each
spruce log is suitable for airplane pur-
poses. entailing another large wastage
and the reproduction Of lumber for
which there is no current demand.
Germany gets the spruce for her air
planes from Sweden, but finds it in
creasingly difficult to get enough.
Much dissatisfaction is reported from
the Pacific Coast with the embargo that
has been placed on the expectation of
shipbuilding lumber. Such lumber has
been going to Japan. but the lumber
men contend that its expectation pro-
notes rather than retards production
of timber for American wooden ships.
The Japanese requirements are for tim
bers somewhat shorter than those used
IN wooden ships at Pacific Coast yards.
and their manufacture is an economical
adjunct OF the production of larger
pieces for American ships.
Mills having the Japanese orders
have been able to run in two shifts.
but without them they will have to get
along on one shift, owing to the
accumulation of logs unsuitable for

terment He attributes the improve
ment very largely to the effective work
OF Russell Hawkins, who was sent 10
Portland as the representative Of the
equipment division, with instructions
TO get the spruce.
Some spruce is coming from Alaska
and even a small quantity from the
spruce forests Of North Carolina. East
ern spruce is just as good in quality as
Pacific Coast spruce, but as the trees
are smaller it is difficult to get the
long sticks. Reliance for airplane
wood is not entirely on spruce, how
ever, as it is being found that yellow
fir. which is the trade name for the
outer portion of the Douglas fir, is we'll
suited TO the purpose. British Column
bia has large spruce forests, but Can
ada has placed an embargo on spruce,
and considerable shipments of spruce
are actually being made from Wash

The Japanese do need a small quantity

they can supply them without inter-
fering in any way with the orders for
