THE LUMBER INDUSTRY

The future of the lumber industry
looks exceedingly bright, western pro-
ducts especially, will be in great de-
mand, thus adding largely to the pros
perity of the Pacific northwest. For
more than four years there has been a
complete cessation of building opera
lions in all parts of the world, except
the United States, and for about two
years there has been no construction
OF repairs in theis country.
Naturally the demand for lumber
is going to be insistent. France and
Belgium, where formerly little lum-
Der was used in building, will call for
enormous quantities of it for hasty
rehabilitation of their war-devasted
regions. England and Italy also will
need lumber for rebuilding and re-
pairs. With conditions as they are in
Russia it will be necessary for the
United States to meet this demand
and the timber resources of this coun-
try will be stretched to the limit.
Shipbuilding will continue for long
time, and ample bottoms for overseas
transportation of our forest products
will be available. Thus, in the opinion
of experienced men, the lumber in
dustry of our country will make great
strides during the next few years.
The labor problems may veX us for a
few months but that situation will be
adequately handled.

Perfection of line and the charm of

AN HONORARIUM FROM UNCLE
SAM

A thoughtful little bill has been in
troduced in congress by Representa-
tive Norma Gould, of New York. 1t
provides that all officers and men in
the military services during the war
with Germany and Austria shall, when
honorably discharged or mustered out,
receive two months extra full duty
pay if they have served outside the
continental limits of the United States,
and one months extra full duty pay
if they have served within the conti-
mental limits of the United States.
This will give the boys a little chance
to look around and locate themselves
when they get home. What with sub
fractions from base pay for allot-
nents, insurance, and many inciden-
tails, the soldier has little or nothing
i. his pocket at the end of the month
Indeed, Ring Lardner's hero, Jack,
found after making the necessary de-
auctions from his pay, he owed the
"govment" $3.50. Gould's bill estab-
fishes no precedent, as provision of a
similar nature was made by Act of
March 3, 1899, to veterans of the
Spanish war, fact which might have
been overlooked but for the New
Workers. discerning eye. Surely the
country will not begrudge the payment
of this honorarium to its defenders,
even tho it may involve perhaps $780,

Indian summer days have fingered
with us for long time and therefore
delayed the showing of winter apparel.
Rut with the coming of the crisp, cool
days the avenue soon takes on de-
eided wintry aspect. And how di-
ciously refreshing it is to see the big,
warm, comfortable coats again. And
how suddenly the coat wrap has APP
peared. This is decidedly the feature
of winter styles. Somehow these coat
wraps give such sumptuous look
they seem to hold wealth of warmth
in their luxurious folds.

The president took over the ocean

There is nothing to prevent him from

try may well wonder what he will take
