over to the association. Said be:
1T is the only machinery which az
lists in this country for co-ordinauns
and handling the various phases OF this
problem. the only piece of machinery
which can make itself felt throughout
the country. the only organization
whose voice will he heard and oDeyed.
Through it the situation in the raf
west, the far south and the north can
be controlled rs easily and as readily
as can that of the east. Through 1t we
can be assured that there will be no
conflict of motives or of efforts.

WASHINGTON INDUSTRIES ARE

Everett-New plant to construct
four concrete ships of 5000 tons.
Vancouver - Standifer shipyards

eminent steamers go on three-shift
basis.
Aberdeen - Between $4,000 and
$4,000 a month paid out for wages
to some 800 men employed in Abb
erdeen shipbuilding yards.
"The war has given radicalism its
death blow. Conservatism and
working out of our problems hand
in hand with the employer is the
keynote of the future" says Sam
uel E. Harley, well known labor
leader.
Tacoma-Work started on con-
crete pipe and shipbuilding plant.
Tacoma - Seventh wooden vessel

Shipbuilding has brought prosper

merchant marine after the war, in
stead of wiping it off the Pacific as
LaFollette's seaman act did.

LUMBER CUT or IDENTICAL
MILLS IN OREGON AND WASH
INGTON FOR 1917

Lumber census reports received up
to March Is, by District Forester
George H. Cecil, show that 205 large
mills in Oregon and Washington cut
five and one-half billion board feet
during 1917. This is $50 million
board feet more than the cut of the
same mills for 1916.
The returns available are as yet
incomplete, although about three
fourths of the mills of the two
states have sent in reports. Be-
cause of the need for an accurate
census, due to the country's war
time demand for lumber officials in
charge of the work are urging mills
which have not yet reported to do SO
as soon as possible.

THE NEW FUEL

Carboeoal is new fuel produced
from soft coal by a new method of
coal distillation at low temperature.
Enough OF by-product Is obtained
TO pay for the cost of converting the
raw product into a smokeless fuel
which will be a satisfactory sub
stitute for anthracite. Carbeoal is
said TO be the nearest approach, to a
perfect fuel, since its combustion if
smokeless, it ignites with ease, burns
freely under all draft conditions, and
is dense, dustless, clear and uniform
in size and quality.

BIG ARMIES NEAR TRAP

PAgIS, Nov. 3.-The American ad-
vance against the southern end of the
German line in France continues TO
grow, increasing every hour. the great
menace to the German forces scat
tered all the way from the Meuse to
the vicinity of Nalenciencs. To-day's
advance is reported to have averaged
nearly three miles on II fourteen mile
front. Several thousand prisoners
were taken.
The progress of the Americans,
taken in connection with the British,
French and Belgian successes to the
north, has placed the enemy in an ex-
ceedingly awkward position. Ex-
traordinary efforts have been made
and are still being made to hold up
the American effort north of Nerdun,
for the reason that each mile of ad-
vance there narrows the gap be-
tween the present enemy line and the
Ardennes region in his rear. Once IN
position TO pinch that line of COM
munications the whole Of the German
forces would be trapped. Advlces
from the front today state that this
eventuality Is not improbable. The
German armies in France, as result
of this latest American effort, are In
great danger of being trapped.
Gen. Liggett's aviators report that
the Germans are making tremendous
effort to get their men and material
out of the region Immediately north
Of the present American lines, and
that the roads and railways are badly
congested with the suddenly accele-
rated traffic that has been placed upon
them.
American bombing squadrons are
working overtime to impede the
enemy retirement, dropping bombs on
roads and railroads and frequently de-
scending to low attitudes to rake the
retreating Germans with machine gun
bullets.
