TELLS OF COST OF
A|RPLANE LUMBER
A. W. LAIRD GIVES INTERESTING
INFORMATION ON WHY 1T
is so EXPENSIVE

1t was stated in this paper recent
ly, that spruce lumber for airplanes,
had cost the government 1855 per
1000 feet. This was brought out in
an investigation of the work of the
so-called spruce division" in which
number of young men from Latah
county worked during the war. Some
very interesting information on why
airplane lumber is so expensive was
given by Mr.. A. W.. Laird, general
manager Of the Potlatch Lumber
Company, who Visited Moscow Sat-
urday evening. Mr.. Laird told of
the experience of the Potlatch Lum-
Der company in making lumber for
airplanes and the facts given out by
him are very interesting.
A feature of the work of the Pot
latch Lumber Company was the fact
that the company received letter
from the head of the airplane con-
struction department stating that
148,0OO feet of white pine lumber
shipped to the department by the
Potlatch Lumber Company sis by far
the best lumber we have received
from any point in the United States"
Score one more for Latah county, in
which the trees grew and in which
the lumber was made.
Mr.. Laird said that an expert was
sent from the east to inspect the

Bulletins Nos. A and 5 of the Grai1

The bulletins are issued from Port

General Bulletin No. 4.
To Wheat Flour Millers, Grain Deal
ers, Elevators and Warehouses.
The Grain Corporation having made
only small purchases of wheat and
movement from farms not warranting
it, there will be no advance in pre-
MUM over the guarantee price put on
by the Wheat Director before August
18th.
About that date, another review of
the situation will be made, and an

The forms of agreement now being
accepted by the United States Grain
Corporation, from all persons licensed
under the Wheat Control Act, will not
be accepted by the United States
Grain Corporation after July 31st,
except in special cases on recommend
alton of the Zone Vice President, and
approved by the Central office.
License regulations covering, es-
pecially, dealers who have not signed
the agreement, will be promulgated
later and will probably include rules
which will require restitution to the
producer in the event Of purchase be-
ing made on an unfair buying margin.
Decisions under this rule will likely
be retroactive.
Under the trade agreement, the pro-
posed restitution rule is not retro
active but protection is secured the
producer by contract agreement to
follow Grain Corporation decisions at
once on complaint of producer at the
time wheat is offered for sale.

Church of the Nazarene

Services were we'll attended and in
terest was good. There was good
increase in the attendance of the Sun
day school. At the morning service
the pastor preached from the text,
eff the Son shall make you free, you
shall be free indeed" in. $780, Men
are slaves to sin, habits, appetites.
Jesus said, whatsoever commiteth
sin is the servant of sim" in. 1884.
Jesus appeared upon the scene and
offered men eternal life, saying, IF
a man keep my sayings he shall never
see DEATH" He offers peace and
pardon, and offers to set men free.
Men grind in the prison house of sin
and complain of their hard lot in life.
Pardon is offered you. Jesus came
that he might destroy the works of
the devil
Wherefore Jesus that he might
sanctify the people with his own blood
suffered outside the gate" Heb. 1912.
This was the text for the evening
service. The Bible clearly reveals the
will of God and plainly states that the
will of God is our sanctification. That
Jesus has suffered, has shed his blood
to this end that mankind might be
able to be overcomers in the fight of
faith. God intends that his people
shall be a joyful people. in. 1911, and
when we as churches wake up and get
back to the old paths and insist on our
people seeking the pentecostal ex-
perience our churches will be filled
with earnest seekers after the, more
perfect way.
Two seekers came forward for pray
ars at the close of this service.

any and the timber in it's HOLDINGS
He found the company was amply
prepared to furnish all of the white
pine of the highest quality needed for
the work, and that it had some of
the finest white pine to be found any,
where. But this quality of pine is
very scarce. Mr.. Laird calls it the
"super-cream" of all the timber grow
ing in the west. Only trees from 200
to 300 years old are fit, and they
must be just as near perfect as
tree can be. He said that on some
40 acre tracts only three trees coming
within the requirements were found.
Few 40 acre tracts yielded more than
20 trees. Some yielded five. Experts
were sent into the timber to cruise
out these trees and blaze them. Then
trails had to be cut to them and the
trees felled. Then perhaps not more
than one or two logs fit for airplane
lumber would be cut from one of
these giants. Roads for dragging
these to the railroad, some times
several miles distant, had to be cut
and made.
When the logs finally reached the
mill at an enormous expense, they
had to be sawed SO that the grain
ran straight. To do this large
portion Of the log was wasted. Air
plane experts sampled each board as
it was cut off of the log to ascertain
if it fulfilled the requirements Then
special dry kilns had to be built for
slow drying. This required % days,
which under the usual process of
drying, would "sap the life" out of
the lumber, but this new process did
not, but actually strengthened it and
left what is called 'life" in the boards.
The company got out 100000 feet of
his timber for the government and
the report mentioned above shows
hat the work was we'll done.
"It was very interesting, but also
very annoying" said Mr.. Laird, "for
we had lot of work that needed to
oe done. We had some burnt over
imber land that needed to be sal
yaged before it was further damaged
md we wanted to get it off of the
state land within the time limit sof

Loss of Appetite

AS general rule there is nothing
serious about loss of appetite, and if
you skip meal or only eat two meals
a day for a few days you will soon
have a relish for your meals when
meal time comes. Bear in mind that
at least. five hours should always
elapse between meals so as to give
the food ample time to digest and the
stomach a period of rest before sec

VICIOUS CANNES
ATTACK PEOPLE
ON The STREETS

The dog nuisance in Nenana,
about which much has already been
said and absolutely nothing done
toward its abatement, would appear
to be very grave menace, especial
ly to children, and it is feared that,
unless the owners of the many dogs
of Nenana take steps to properly
restrain and care for their animals,
a serious accident is likely 10 take
place.
At an early hour yesterday morn
ing, one of the dogs belonging to
Charles Spann trailed Willis Nicely
for a short distance and ATTACKED
him on the street between the Are
tic pool room and the Nicely ,use
Willis managed to ward off the
attack and went into the Arctic to
get gun. The matter was report
ed to the owner of the dog, who
readily consented to its destruction,
which was accomplished later.
Later on the same day, another
dog, also belonging to Charles
Spann, attacked Willis Nicely, and
once more he managed to drive the
animal away The fact that he
was not seriously bitten on both
occasions was due to the fact that
he was on his guard.
Claude Taylor, of the signal
corps, was attacked by dogs sew
eral times during the past few days,
while on his rounds with kilograms
for delivery, and his prompt ac-
ton in repelling the attacks every
time is responsible for his escape
from injury thus far.
George Taylor, well-known car
penter and contractor of Nenana,
was attacked and bitten by a dog
recently, and it is believed that
several other cases have occurred
around town which have not been
reported
There appears to be no law or
ordinance to compel dog owners to
keep their animals chained, and sew
eral citizens are seriously consider
ing the proposition of carrying light
revolvers and destroying the dogs
whenever an attack is attempted.

CONGRESS CONVENES
ON MAY NINETEENTH

WASHINGTON, May 7.-Presi-

special session of Congress on Mon
day, May 10. The President will
not be present when Congress con-

cable his message to be read at the
opening of Congress.
The cable from the President came
as an agreeable surprise to the
Democrats, who did not think that
the call would come so early. 1t
is believed in official circles here
that early action was taken by the
President on account of the urgent
necessity for the passage Of appro-
priation measures which were de-
feated by the filibuster at the close
of the last Congress.
