SPOKANE LUMBER
CO. WILL REDUCE

General Managers Statement
Says Move Is Initial Step to-
Beat Down High Living n

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire
Spokane. Wash, March "a re,
duction sof 10 to 80 per cent il
prices OF all Weyerhauser lumbs,

ton is guaranteed until June ! an&
will be participated in by the l.
great subsidiary companies of III,
Weyerhauser interests.
Coming as the most staggering
blow at the tendency toward risin,
prices in all commodities the an
nouncement was made publ,
through L. S. Case, general man
ager OF the Weyerhauser Sales com
pany of Spokane, general headquar
ters OF the Wcyerhauser interests.
Knock at H. c., Of L. Il
To stabilize the lumber industry
to stimulate building Of homes and
to take the initial steps toward ths
bearing down Of the high cost OF
living, the Weyerhauser Sales com
pany has taken the bull by ths
horns" and will do all in its power
to bring "a revision of conditions
which have been abnormal for many
months" the statement of Manager
Case announced.
Mr.. Case stated that the price oi
lumber has advanced to such high
mark because of speculation that
the companies are ashamed to- take
the money.
For many months the lumbei
market has been in most unsettled
condition. The demand for lumber
is abnormal and greatly exceeds the
available supply; the car shortage
and other transportation difficulties
have restricted deliveries and price
advances have been frequent and
regular. Lumber prices already OH
high level have substantially ad-
vanced since the beginning Of the
present year and further advances
seem probable.
Condition Is Injurious.
THE interests comprising the so :
called Weyerhauser group have
come to recognize that this condi-
ton of the market is injurious to the
public and to industry generally
that the uncertainty, even more than
the price level, is demoralizing and
the result is in enhanced cost OF
building and discourages construc-
ton and that unless something is
done to check the present tendency
toward further and frequent and H.
regular advances which have no re-
lation to costs Of production, the sit
uation will become still more de-
plorable.
They feel that the level of lufp-
her prices reached early in January
is sufficiently high to compensate
the industry; that further advances
will be unduly burdensome to the
public and are not warranted by cx-
isting conditions and that the time
has come to call halt Lumber Il

from S. to SIS per thousand aboyx

destroy It entirely To do this, get
about four ounces OF ordinary liquid

and rub It In gently with the finger
tips.
DO this tonight, and by morning

bo gone, and three or four more APP
plications will completely dissolve
Vnd entirely destroy every single sigr

You will find. too, that all itching
and digging OF the scalp will stop at
