THE BUILDING BOOM IN NOGALES

NEVER before has there been great danand for
building right at the present time There number of
for it. The prime perhaps is the practical
pension of ALL nearly all construction except for govern
ment purposes for couple of years during the war Another
cause perhaps, aso that the has given to de-
mand for better housing for the working population in all
parts of the country That has increased the demand
which away behind from two years suspension And
the two mentioned, with minor causes local
to some extent but widely scattered many localities
throughout the country estimated by experts have put
the demand five years ahead of present construction So
the outlook for the building TRADES said be excellent
Tor at least five years. and maybe several years longer
Not only is the demand for building away ahead of
construction but on good authority it stated that the
supply of building materials is away behind the demand
Mr. Charles S. Keith, expresdent of the Southern Pine
ASSOCIATION who visited recently the timber regions in the
Northwest makes this analysis of the lumber situation
The supply of lumber in the United States is less than
onehaf the normal Production decreased during the war
because the industry not essential one Drafts
made upon labor and restrictions placed upon building caus-
ed serious curtamen of production Within the two year
period ending December 81 1919 fully twenty per cent of
the production of the South will cease operation because of
the depletion OF raw material On the other hand consump
uon Oh lumber has been in excess of production since
January ls l919 and there is prospect of increased
production next sufficient offset depletion of pro-
ducton IN the South and in other sections of the United
States"
With Mr.. Keiths statement as a text one of the um
ber trade Journals has presented article from which the
succeeding paragraph is taken:
Never were prospects bright for the lumber in
dusy and every western state with timber resources should
exert itself to the industry to expand it's diff
ferent branches including domestic trade requirements ex
port and last but not least the manufacture our var
Gus classes of lumber into commercial products such as
tables chairs kitchen cabinets os and the thousand and
Of nd
utilize this great resource to the maximum"
Nogaes presents the demand for building that is
noted all over the country and impossible for con-
structon to keep pace with the demand Upon all sides
houses and building of all kinds being erected and all
mechanics in the building avocations busy every day.

REASON TO REVISE OPINIONS

THE Strongest and most potent argument advanced
yet against the League of Nations according to the lights
of he Oasis that made by Senator Thomas of Colorado
(Democrat) who that h international Labor Coun
Gil created by the Covenant of the League with
shadowng sway it will have labor the wide world over
will expose the working classes of America to mpoversh
ment and ensavement There far greater danger the
United States from conditions that be brought about by
operation of the put into the hands of that council
than hea be possibly in the binding force of the
chnery that to operate the League itself The chances
of having to to to make any nation behave itself
toward other nations will be very remote But that In
tenatona Labor Council could put the labong population
of the United States in such that this country might
have to- fight all the rest of the League, be party to
degradation and ensavment of it's working population
Senator Thomas speech that phase the League of
Nations powerful effort; and it is calculated to givn
the least thoughtful adherent the adop
ton of the covenant of the League while those who
really thoughtful may find therein to revise their
opinions

According to the American experts
who in the line of their duty are
keeping in touch with the progress ii
the reimbursement of the enemyS
forces, German Great Headquarters
seems to be following a policy Of sec

due to the fact that the BoisheVlkl
now have normal military organiza-
ton and so will be able to utilize any
information they might obtain con-
corning their enemy. Apparently the
German headquarters staff in kol-
berg is directing its energies again TO-
ward organization on the Baltic front
in the confidence that there is no long
or any immediate occasion for con-
Germ over the Polish front. Field Mar

Northern and Southern armies on the
eastern front are presumed to be an

available.
Great numbers Of volunteer COM
panies have been raised Throughout
Germany for the eastern front, az
cording to information here. Scores OF
these small units have been Identifies

they were organized into divisions at
terward. or whether they are under-
going training, and to what LOCALITY

The total number of volunteers now
IN the eastern front or about to pro-

100. Some of the old army troops are

AMERICAN COMMERCE

UP to the breaking out of our civil
war the American flag was in evil
dence in all the great ports of the
world. Our clipper ships will be re-
menbered by some now living. Con-
federate privateers from 1861 to
1865, however, made the Stars and
Stripes as scarce on the ocean as
mermaids or sea serpents. Twenty
two years ago the writer visited the
ports of London and Liverpool, and
saw but one American flag, that
which flew from the taffrail of a
steamer belonging to an American
line.
Conditions have changed during the
past few years. The Stars and
Stripes are often seen on steam and
sailing vessels. The United States
is now a competitor in the marine
world.
The "Gunston Hail." the huge steel
steamer recently launched by the
Virginia Shipbuilding Corporation at
Alexandria WILL it is expected, be
ready for service by the beginning
of next month. She is scheduled 70
leave this port for New York. whence
she will sail for australia via the
Panama Canal.
The keel for another steel Snip was
laid last week on the cradle OF the
